I can’t recommend the tour enough regarding the quality of the operation in Luxor and how much you manage to see and do in a day. Our English-fluent guide, Khaled, was brilliant. Having an archaeologist take you around the sites makes it so much more rewarding. There were also individual guides to take Russian speaking and Italian speaking guests, so all in all, there were four of us in the English group - great size.
It only loses a single star for two quite minor treasons, focusing on the operation in Sharm itself. Firstly, all guests were spoken to in Russian on the bus, and initially at the airport. This led to all non-Russian speakers (half) being quite lost and becoming frustrated. Secondly, upon return to Sharm there was no one waiting for a board or a car to take us back to our hotel, so we stood outside at 9pm (after being up since 4am) waiting a good while for it to be organised and cars to arrived. As I say, minor points, but worth addressing by the tour operator.
Still, fully recommended as the tour in Luxor itself was fabulous. A whirlwind, but covered a lot.
