Amazing time! - Ok this review is super late cause we went back in April, but I have to say this was the absolute best experience. If we ever were to go back to Egypt it would be with Oscar. We had the best tour guide and they even helped us barter for something I wanted at the market. If you’re going to Egypt please contact them!!

Experiencing Luxor the Right Way - Wow wow wow! Had an incredible time during the private full day tour. Ahmed was fantastic with arranging the tour to my time requests. I learned lots of lasting historical information and had plenty of time to view all the sights. Lunch was also a delicious oriental meal. The ease, transportation, and knowledge of the tour were enjoyable. I recommend booking the tour early in the morning as it gets extremely hot at the temples. Thank you!

Would recommend to friends and family - We lucked up and met Oscar when he replied to an inquiry on MyDayTrip to drive my friend and I from Cairo to Luxor. We did not feel comfortable flying so we decided to hire a driver. My Day Trip was one the cheapest options but also the only one we felt was reputable enough to go with. We booked our driving trip last minute (day before) and Oscar responded promptly to the inquiry. He reached out to me via Whatsapp not even a full hr after booking on the site to let me know he'd be our driver and that he looked forward to meeting us the next day. The following day, I texted him to just double check that he'd be there on time. Not only was he already there waiting, 30+ minutes ahead of schedule, but he ended up driving a bigger van rather than the original sedan listed so my friend and I had ample space. We were so relieved. We thanked him for being on time and he was very excited to meet us. We felt extremely comfortable right off the bat, we even ended up falling asleep for most of the ride. He answered all questions and was helpful with suggestions on what we should do in Luxor. We ended up having him drive us our entire stay in Luxor! 4 days total. Great price and very knowledgeable on what to do/see and offering suggestions. We also hired him to drive us to our next location of Hurghada and then BACK to Cairo when our trip was over. We really lucked up on meeting him. So very kind and even texted and made sure we made it back to the states safely. The overall experience was smooth. Will definitely be sharing his contact should any of my friends and family go to Egypt.

Couldn't have been more perfect - I don't usually write in-depth reviews but this time I really wanted to because this one is very well deserved. We stayed in one of his airbnb's and that's how we found him. To start out, Ahmed's communication was amazing, he was up front about everything and was extremely helpful with answering any questions we had, going above and beyond when giving advice. One of the taps in the apartment had been accidentally broken the day before, even though it wasn't that big of a deal to us and certainly didn't have anything to do with him, he immediately organised another one of his apartments for us to stay in. He also had the tap fixed the very next day like a true professional. It was very obvious to me from the get go that he is very serious about providing a good service and ensuring his guests are as comfortable as possible. The apartment was really clean, comfortable, had everything you needed and was awesome value for money. Ahmed runs a tourism business which was extremely convenient because we were able to sort our entire trip to Luxor through him with absolute ease and this made everything so much simpler and comfortable. All his recommendations for what to see, do, eat and even what to avoid and be careful of were absolutely spot on and he got us all the best deals on prices, which I knew for a fact because I had done my research on prices beforehand. He was also always on time to drop us off and pick us up from activities and in general was just an outstanding driver. We spent three days in Luxor and everything was absolutely perfect. He was so genuine throughout the time we spent with him and it was clear that he runs his business with ethics at the forefront of his mind which I feel is so rare nowadays. Having a private driver is really the only way to see Luxor properly so I would strongly recommend having Ahmed organise this all for you. Even more conveniently, we were able to exchange Euros and US dollars into Egyptian pounds with Ahmed, completely avoiding bank and ATM fees which are generally quite high. There are a lot of places that only accept cash in Luxor so this was extremely handy. We genuinely could not have had a smoother and more comfortable trip to Luxor, it was such a stunning place to visit and I really think Ahmed and the rest of his staff played such a major part in that and I really want to thank him so much for treating us like family and taking care of us as if we were royalty. We were so sad to leave at the end and will aim to come back one day and do it all again, through Ahmed without a doubt.

Awsome Expereince With OSCARS - Very safe honest and understanding tour guide we have encountered in September 2023. A tired tourist needs flexibility and wants to utilize most of its time effectively. Oscar tours provided us not only the flexibility but considering our limited time they have made the day with maximum utilization.
