The tour guide, Hassan, was excellent. Very informative without it being an information overload and a good sense of humous. Only negative comment was that lunch and dinner on day one were very average with drinks completely overpriced for the tourist. A fantastic overall experience visiting Luxor, bring plenty of small notes as everyone from security guards to the men checking your entrance tickets is after a tip!
