炒鸡靠谱的旅行社

Published on Dec, 2019

炒鸡靠谱的tour group. 开始定的Luxor一日游。司机兼导游Sayed很热心准时。凌晨三点接机。所以后来又定了从Luxor到Aswan的行程，以及Abu Simbal一日游。他们价钱比TripAdvisor/Viator其它公司公道。

Great trip! Exceed expectations!

Published on Dec, 2019

We booked Luxor tour with Aqua Tours and had a great time. Our guide, Sayed, is punctual, courteous and very helpful! Because the tour is so good, we asked Aqua Tour to book our Luxor to Aswan trip and Abu Simbal trip in Aswan! Ask for Sayed when you book!
