The tour is certainly cool, if you are not very annoying that you need to get up in the middle of the night and go. If they drove less around their stupid shops, then it would be possible to leave in the morning, having slept, and everyone would have had time. And of course it's cheaper to take it on the street.

Bala in Egypt 4 times with a company of 7 people. Be sure to take a tour of Luxor, very interesting. It includes the Temple of Karnak, the papyrus museum, the city of the dead, a short walk along the Nile. The only thing is a little tiring if you go by bus. Tour operators are 2 times more expensive, and if you take from local travel agencies, there are a lot of them, then if you are traveling with a large company, they will also make a discount. What they say is that it is not reliable to take nonsense from them, for 4 times they took all the time from local travel agencies and there were no complaints.

The only tour operator will look askance, but if you want to save money, then take it from the locals. We saved 70$ on 3 excursions. per person.

it’s not far to go from hurghada to luxor, but the Egyptian gays (or the military?) create artificial traffic jams on the roads almost every kilometer, the bus barely trudges from ken to luxor and back ... but what a striking contrast between the desert in the hurghada area and the flowering valley of the Nile! it’s really almost 2 times cheaper to buy tickets on the street than from a tour operator, but get ready for a walk through the desert in the Safaga area, bypassing some checkpoint ... by the way, the guides of some tour operators also buy tickets from street agencies and then resell them with a cheat , as a result - the same walk through the desert ...

but I didn’t care about the “oblique” views of the tour operator’s guide ... they don’t pay me money, but I pay them ...

I completely agree with you, we also didn’t give a damn how the tour operator looked at us. Why should I overpay if for this money I can take two excursions, and not one.

Yes, a trip to Luxor is super! The program was compiled by the guide right on the spot, taking into account the wishes. The guide was a polyglot, he spoke alternately in Russian, then in English (the group was mixed), I understood both ways. We visited the Karnak temple, the Valley of the Queens (with a visit to the tombs), the temple of Queen Hatshepsut, then - an hour and a half boat trip along the Nile along the entire Luxor with a visit to a banana plantation, tasting bananas, melons, watermelons and feeding the local crocodile. The heat was, however, unbearable, it was normal on the banks of the Nile, and in the Valley of the Queens the air blew with a temperature like from a hair dryer! We traveled in an air-conditioned minibus, climbed out of it like a red-hot furnace! The minibus driver also drove us around police checkpoints and traffic jams along roads that a big bus would never have passed!
It was real Egypt - unimaginable poverty, slums, donkey carts, reed fields and palm groves ... Only there I really felt the spirit of Africa ... And what is a walk across the Sahara at dawn ... So everyone I recommend buying tours to Luxor in street agencies!
