Kero was an amazing guide in Luxor! The itinerary was modified as needed for us. When we wanted sugar cane juice he found a place to get us some. He assisted us even with check in at your hotel and arranged wake up call for us so we wouldn’t be late for the sunrise balloon ride! I highly recommend!
