This was the most beautiful experience. From communication to the drive to Luxor, and our guide, everything was perfect. We visited the Valley of the Kings, Queen Hatshepsut’s temple, the Colossi of Memnon, enjoyed a cruise on the Nile River, and visited the Temple of Karnak. It’s an unbelievable experience to walk in the footsteps of ancient kings and queens. This was a magnificent journey. Thank you, Cleo Tours.

Semi Submarine – Great trip! Fun trip. Plenty of room on the boat. The boat was very clean. The crew was very entertaining and helpful. A multitude of beautiful fish and corals can be easily seen from the windows. Many fish came right up to the window. Highly recommend Cleo Tours for this experience!
