It’s a long day but so worth it! We were picked up from our hotel with no problems. Our tour guide Reda was very informative and friendly - was very glad we had him! Our drivers George and Ashraf were good drivers and very funny. We felt very safe the whole day and didn’t get hassled as much as we thought! We did this in April (winter in Egypt) and it was around 28 degrees during the trip - wasn’t too hot but at the VOK the tombs were a bit toasty! Although lunch is provided - bring snacks!
