Summary:
The Valley of the kings was superlative. However, the true treat of the tour was the tour guide (George). From being an expert on any Egyptian history questions, answering cultural curiosities, or assisting us with travel arrangements in the luxor train station, he was nothing short of amazing. He's a fluent speak in English, and has advanced degrees. His efforts made the tour as memorable as the valley of the kings itself.
In terms of the tour, it was very cost friendly and packed with information. Timing was flexible, as were locations. The car was a brand new luxury vehicle that was spotless, had air conditioning, and black out curtains in the back. The driver was great ( I can't recall his name).
When I return to Egypt, I'll make an effort to only book tours with Nasco tours.
