5/5 - Incredible Luxor Tour by Knowledgeable Guide - 100% would recommend to anyone visiting Luxor and wanting a knowledgeable guide, with time for photos built into the itinerary. Unfortunately our Balloon ride was cancelled due to weather, so be aware that could happen anywhere. Our tour guide Dr. Mo, who also works as an Egyptology professor, was extremely friendly and shared all the information you could ever want about each site we visited. I will 100% be recommending him to any friends or family who visit in the future.

A perfect full day in Luxor! - If you only have one day on site, this excursion is perfect! You have to wake up at dawn to enjoy the hot air balloon ride above the temples! You have to know how to accept that the cloud of children who came that morning, they are forced to pass by to bring a little more home, with their school bag.... You have to endure the stifling heat of the soil of these historic sites. You must politely refuse (or not) to go to yet another overpriced “souvenir” store BUT.... Loxour will mark you with its intense colors, the Valley of Kings will transport you to another time, the balloon flight will allow you to capture some pictures of a very rough peasant life, and the various temples of the city will make you vibrate. So I highly recommend the company, the guide, as well as the driver (of incredible kindness, he even paid for a coffee), we were able to adapt the tour to avoid eating and taking a pleasant time in a local coffee shop, without being rushed back or for me to make my comment right away.... Thank you 🙏 Ps/ I think it’s Ahmed for the guide but the name of the driver, impossible to know....

Really good trip.... - Really good trip. Fascinating to watch the sun rise while a field of hot air balloons were being blown up. The hamper was large and fit 16 passengers (4 per compartment). I got a great panaramic photo when the pilot rotated the balloon. So glad I had a wrist strap on my phone so I could take photos leaning out of the hamper.

Scammed by the guide - Mohammad or mo was our tour guide and he scammed us out of 40 dollars. We wanted to see king tuts body and thought it was far away from everything else and he said we had to pay 20 dollars a person to go to it plus the entry ticket of 15 US dollars. We had no idea where it was and thought it would be more work for him so we figured we would pay him the extra 20 per person. When we got in we found out it was where all the other things were and what we were paying for was for him to talk for 40 minutes about the king when we could have read the boards. If you go just say you would like to buy the ticket to see king tuts body but you don’t want to pay him the extra money because he doesn’t have to do anything extra

Not so great - Everything up until the balloon was going perfect. We were picked up at 05:30, by a smiley helpful person and a driver they took us to the boat to cross Nile and off to the balloon ride. Balloon ride was perfect everyone helpful, attentive and friendly. An here we come to the Egyptiologist Mo(hamed) , the most greedy person we met in Egypt. According to the itinerary he was supposed to be with us throughout the tour and ( obviously) talk us through whatever we were visiting, instead he will tell a single story by the entrance and then let us wonder around for a limited time. He was very eager to take us to shops ( which were not part of itinerary like alabaster shop , perfume shop ). And he asked for an extra payment of 40€ ( 10€ per person ) because he escorted us to Tutanhamon tumb and gave us the story of how it was discovered. We paid almost 300£ for the entire tour and I asked the tour operator if we need to pay anything extra , we in advance , which they replied only entrance fees payable by card. Unfortunately his behaviour ruined the entire experience.

"DOCTOR" MO IS A BIG NO NO! find an honest guide. He is not. - Dr Mo a big NO NO!!!! SCAM ALERT! what a horrible experience. where to start... the day before he contacts us asking for 40 USD extra as he needed to change the time of pick up in the morning...from 5.00am to 4.00am (apparently nobody was in our slot) I was firm and refused to pay more...they came to pick us up a bit late and went straight to the balloon...guess what...we took off at the time we had initially booked...Once the balloon finished... ( short of 30 min, ) we were taken to a cafe to wait for Dr. NO. We were waiting for him for AN HOUR. when he showed up, at around 8.30 instead of going straight to the Valley of the kings, he took us to a BAZAAR! we were utterly upset, not only us...but the rest of the peole on the tour...so we ended up going to the Valley of the kings at the rush hour just because of his delay and comission driven decision of going to a bazaar...when we arrived at the valley of the kings, it was full on oven, crowded and with big lanes. HE GAVE US HALF AN HOUR with the warning that he would leave us on site if we didn't turn out on time!!!! as he was adamant to take us back to the hotel at 2 and we were running late...mutiny started. we said there was no way to see anything in half an hour taking into account the queuing lines...also asked us for extra 20USD each to guide the Tut visit, but more interestingly, he said that this was the only way. we refused. Said we did not need any guiding. He was seething! (second try to extort 20 USD, failed) we managed to extend the visit another half and hour...because we demanded more time. After that Hatshepsut, he told us we had two options guiding explanation in the van, or outside...we thought the van could be a good place to start and gain some time...he gave us a 5 min ridiculous briefing...and off we went, no guiding tour in the temple at all! after that, he took us to a restaurant (again in partbership with him) where they were asking for a ton of money for lunch. we refused to fall prey in fact NOBODY had lunch at Dr. NO joint. and again left for the next visit...karnak temple...this time we skipped the "van" tour guiding and he had to step out to do his job. What a horrible attitude...5 min in and he was gone. The less guided tour in the whole Egypt trip. he told us to be on time for pick up, the van ( a complete piece of trash) showed up 15 min later, he did not bother to show up, and the remaining Luxor temple visit included in the tour gone too...Unprofessional falls short to describe his modus operandi. The greed, the lack of love for his country and the people visitting it. I never write reviews this lengthy but my dear fellow travelers STAY AWAY FROM DR. NO. Book Nice Tours instead. Some people deserve to have their tour guide licence removed for good.

Awful - stay away from Dr Mo - Stay away from this tour especially if led by Dr Mo as guide! He was mostly interested in scamming money, at the first site after the ballon was the Colossi of Memnon, where he spent more time explaining about buying alabaster stone which he then takes you immediately for shopping (obviously for commission). The worst part was when he tried to scam us that we must pay him 20USD each as a group, if we chose to go to Tutenkhamun tomb at Valley of the kings we must use him as guide and that “was the rules” to pressure us to go along with it - so it was either we each pay him extra for the guide or we can’t go at all ourselves. The whole group became so outraged we challenged him that we wanted to go to King Tut without his guide. Eventually he backed down but not without a challenge - and it definitely was not “in the rules” of the tour which he clearly made up. The time given at the Valley of the kings was another joke in itself, after all the challenges we had to do and his faffing he gave us 30 mins to go to 3 tombs, this again raised more revolt from the group as clearly if he didn’t take us to the alabaster shopping beforehand for commission we would have had more time at the most important site - Valley of the kings! In regards to Dr Mo’s actual guide and information provided - this was the bare minimum, a few lines of introduction and tells you that’s it - all the while his phone is going off constantly. The whole tour (apart from the balloon as no involvement of Dr Mo) was highly not enjoyable with Dr Mo, that was very evident from the entire group! Stay away!

VERY BAD EXPERIENCE - We have booked the ballooning with guided private tour of The Valley of kings. The bus arrived half an hour late at our hotel. The ballooning experience was wonderful, however afterwards our travel experience was appalling. We were brought back to our hotel and NOT to The Valley of kings as booked. The guides in the bus were very unhelpful and rude. We then got in contact with Sainap of Dr Mo tours which after realizing her fault BROKE UP contact. We paid EUR 150 for half of the trip. No coming back of the agency after multiple request for contact by WhatsApp, phone and hotel. Very bad experience. Untrustworthy and cheating.
