An Unforgettable Tour with the Best Guide Ever - We were incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to be guided through the city by the most exceptional tour guide, Shimaa. Not only is she a consummate professional with a wealth of knowledge, but she also adeptly tailored the pace of the tour to suit our preferences. Shimaa's storytelling skills are simply incredible, as she was able to bring the historical sites to life in a way that made us feel like we were part of the story. Her vast knowledge is truly impressive, yet she managed to make the information accessible to us, as non-experts, which is precisely how cultural knowledge should be shared. It felt as though we were exploring the city with a dear friend and we learned a tremendous amount along the way. We feel privileged to have been guided by Shimaa (and her incredibly kind driver) and we will cherish the experience forever. The tour was well-structured and provided us with a comprehensive overview of the city's most stunning sites. We strongly recommend Love Egypt Tours to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience.

Awsome !!! - Outstanding and very informative, in addition to the regular booked toor activities Ahmed Sliem went out off his way to provide me with the necessary medicines, as I became ill over night. He really has a unique and friendly personality, with some humor here and there, he really made sure that we felt safe and very happy with all the information and assistance he gave us! I would highly recommend him Kabeer Shoekran

Absolutely Phenomenal! - Ash is a great tour guide. My wife and I had an unbelievable time. Did not really have expectations but we will be forever grateful for the opportunities we had to experience Egypt on this tour. If you have a chance, take the offer to go to Banana Island and Horse Buggie Tour. Just a little bit extra but well worth it in the end!

Amazing tour with Ahmed - This has been the best tour I’ve had during my stay. Started with the hot air balloon and followed by a full tour through the east and West Bank in Luxor. Ahmed was the guide and he came super prepared. He made sure he explained the history of every temple/tomb we visited and even brought photos with him, super prepared! Then he got us the best falafel we’ve ever tried (I’m still thinking about it) and got us some sugar cane juice which was very nice to try! He’s also a very good photographer! It was an amazing day with an amazing guide! If you decide to do this tour I highly recommend you do it with him, you won’t regret it! Thank you so much and hopefully see you again!

Book this tour immediately! - We had an incredible time with Abdul for our group of 6 over two days exploring the East and West Banks of Luxor. Abdul was a phenomenal guide: passionate, knowledgeable, flexible/accommodating, and more. He was a great communicator (via Whatsapp) leading up to the tour, and had great advice on our questions for flexing the itinerary slightly. We came away WOWed by Abdul, having learned a lot and had a great experience. We would recommend him to all who plan to go to Luxor!
