Great Felluca Ride - We had a great felucca ride on the Nile with Ali. Everything was well-organized, he picked us up on time, arranged the boat smoothly, and made the whole experience easy and relaxed. The felucca was comfortable, the ride was calm, and we enjoyed a beautiful view of the river. Ali is reliable, friendly, professional and has a lot to tell about Luxor. If you want an authentic felucca experience in Luxor and want to learn a bit about the culture and environment I can definitely recommend booking with him.

A great time with Ali - This exceptionally friendly man drove me from the airport and the next day took me around Luxor and The Valley of the Kings. While he is still attending university to get his guide license he was not allowed inside so he explained everything in the car before I entered. I feel I got a driver, a guide and a friend! Thanks Ali!!!

You can't visit Luxor and not enjoy the Nile at sunset - I've known Ali since I first travelled to Egpyt 20+ years ago and a trip on the Nice never fails to be a highlight. I always look forward to spending time in Luxor and Ali always makes the experience special for us and looks after all our arrangements perfectly.

Boat trip on the Nile - Ali managed all the logistics very well, before, during and after our service, originally planned as a felucca on the Nile, which turned into a traditional motorboat due to the weather conditions not compatible with the felucca. That didn’t stop us from spending a pleasant time with the pilot who took care of us by Ali. We recommend, very professional and responsive.

The driver you need in Luxor - We had an exceptional experience with Ali in Luxor. We were initially only supposed to spend one day with him and ended up using his services almost every day of our stay. Ali is attentive, his knowledge of Luxor, his recommendations of restaurants and places to visit made our stay unforgettable. Thanks to its boats, we both made crossings to the West bank, but also enjoyed a magnificent sunset during a felucca ride. Ali also organized a hot air balloon trip for us. His hospitality, punctuality and advice are the key to a successful trip! We highly recommend Ali to anyone who wants to explore Luxor in an authentic and enriching way, sometimes getting away from the very touristy places. Thanks for everything Ali!

Fantastic trip! - A fantastic and unforgettable tour! After more than 7 hours of desert reach the Nile and have the team Ali Luxor waiting for us for this fantastic journey! We were in a family with children and it was amazing the sunset, the hospitality and sympathy of the staff too and a good opportunity to do Birdwathing! Unforgettable!

Good tour and customer service by Ali! - I'm a personal travel agent and booked this trip for some customers of mine. They loved the tour on the Nile other than the care and attention received by Ali who provided and excellent customer service and communication (both with the customers and me). I fully recommend this local agent! Thanks again Ali! ;-)
