We organized this tour only the night before because we weren't sure what to do with our last day in Egypt, but it was no problem. There was no pressure or upselling. Everything was very up front and went smoothly the next morning. The travel agent in our hotel, Hassan was wonderful and walked us through all our options before deciding on this tour. He also went above and beyond to be friendly and help us during our stay, even going so far as to walk us back to the hotel when we ran into each other in town one evening.
We were initially hesitant to go somewhere such a long drive away but it was worth it to see these amazing temples away from the crowds of Luxor and Giza. Dendera Temple especially was one of the most amazing temples we saw during our trip. Our guide Hadir was lovely and pointed out all the important carvings to us as we toured the temples, told us the stories behind the images and most importantly stopped several times for snacks and refreshments on the long drive! Along the way we drove through many smaller towns and a bustling local Souq; it was a nice treat to see a part of Egypt outside of the usual tourist trail.
All together a very nice day out and would highly recommend.
