Did a last minute Aswan to Luxor journey with their help. Service and price was spot on. Well done Bookaway team!
We had a nice trip, everything went well also thanks to the Tourist Police.
The train departed almost in time and arrived at Luxor on time. The onboard staff were very helpful. The hot evening meal was filling and reasonably tasty. I slept very well, but then again I always do and I’m happy to sleep on trains. Beds were comfortable and clean. Obviously very old rolling stock with windows that need cleaned. Convenient way to get from central title to Luxor.
The train, when it finally arrived was ok, though it needed a clean inside and was tatty. It would be useful if the train displayed where it was going and also it's number so passengers know which train to get on!
The trip was fine. It’s a little stressful to not get the tickets before or at least to not receive any reminder from the supplier.
We always need to contact the supplier first, while it should be better to receive a reminder from the supplier before.
But the journey was good
Everything ok, except for the toilet (cleanliness)
