Things to do in Luxor, Nile River Valley: The Best Photography Tours

March 6, 2022 Giuseppe Pratt

The Luxor in Las Vegas is to the actual CITY of Luxor, Egypt, as marshmallow fluff is to fois gras. (We’re sure you knew that. We just enjoy analogies.) Sure, the hotel/casino in Vegas might have a beam of light visible from space, but we bet you'll find a hot-air balloon ride over the Valley of Kings much more illuminating. (Editor's note: Our list was compiled before political unrest prompted many countries to issue travel warnings for Egypt. If you're currently planning a trip to Egypt, please consider the risks and monitor your government's travel alerts.)

Truly Egypt was Truly Awful. The owner, Mac, was like an automaton in our group greeting. He didn't even let us introduce ourselves to one another until I asked him to do so. He was about 2 minutes into his spiel when already he was talking about the importance of tips. At the end he said he'd be available to us via call phone 24/7. I subsequently called him twice and got no reply. Our guide Ayman knew little and could care less. He pushed us constantly for more money in tips. Speaking of money, my brochure and that of another party mentioned nothing about all the museum and temple fees we had to pay for even though these stops were part of the standard tour - not an extra. However, Mac showed us on his cell phone that the disclaimer was in the brochure and subsequently when I went to check, there it was. Magic! Without any warning they switched my schedule so I had to get up at 3:30 in the morning two mornings in a row instead of the original schedule in which I had a normal waking day in between. The only reason I'm not giving it a one star rating is b/c I had a good time with my fellow group members and the cruise on the Nile was nice. But we could have gotten so much more out of the temple visits; sometimes I listened in to another guide for info. I haven't even told you about how they cashed my tour payment and then told me I owed them hundreds more for a single supplement which the brochure explicitly said they didn't charge. (One of the reasons I chose them) Mac was unrelenting until I complained to TourRadar who then put pressure on Truly Egypt to let me on the tour without the single supplement. I should have known then that they'd be horrible. Again at the end of the trip they were not going to refund money for the cancelled Hot Air Balloon ride until I complained to TourRadar. DO NOT BOOK WITH TRULY EGYPT
