Egyptologist Ahmed Elsisi, guide in Luxor city - We loved our day with Ahmed around Luxor and Valley of the King. We learned a lot and enjoyed the knowledge and happiness of our guide. They were really accommodated to our little family and took so MUCH care of our 5yold daughter during the visits.

Great day with excellent tour guide - Professor Ahmed Elsisi was an excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable, humorous and made the day very memorable.
Early start but that meant we got to the attractions early and managed to fit everything in. The lunch was lovely and the day excellent value for money.

Amazing Luxor West Bank tour - This was the best tour we had during our travel in Egypt. The guide, Ahmad Elsisi, is actually a professor at the university of Cairo. As a result, he was so knowledgeable, and able to teach us so many different things. As a result, what we saw in pyramid, GEM, Aswan and finally Luxor are nicely together after his lecture. He and the driver are also both very kind and accommodating and took a lot of pictures of us. The balloon ride is crowded but very fun and the valley of the kings is so beautiful. Lunch is traditional Egyptian and pretty good. A long but very enjoyable day. Want to come again.

A relaxed and insightful trip with beautiful stories from Mousa - We had a great trip to Luxor with our guide, Mousq Elnady. In good English he shared beautiful stories about the ancient history of Egypt, full of fun details and "did-you-know" insights that made everything come alive.
The whole day felt relaxed — never any rush - which made it even more enjoyable.
If you want to learn a bit more about the temples in Luxor, the Valley of the Kings, and the fascinating history behind them, Mousa is definitely a guide I can recommend!

Spectacular experience. - The tour was excellent. You are collected on time from your hotel and given water and a cola. You head to Luxor with 2 toilet stops along the way and then meet your guide before The Valley of the Kings.
Our guide was Professor Ahmed Elsisi whose knowledge of the sites we visited and English was excellent. He also volunteered to be our photographer for the day which he did with a big smile. We were given the choice of which tombs to visit with no pressure (there is additional costs for the extra tombs). The sites we were taken to were spectacular and Professor Ahmed gave us the history lesson at the right times. Lunch was also really good.
I would highly recommend this trip. You get what you pay for.

A special day exploring ancient Egypt - We had a wonderful trip led by the knowledgable and friendly professor Ahmed Elsisi who is an Egyptologist. Throughout the day he kept us informed, telling us amazing stories about ancient Egypt, and making sure we were able to go at our own pace on what was a very hot day. We are so glad we booked a private tour with Professor Ahmed instead of a group tour as it made our trip more special!

Viator and the operator charge you for a service they do not provide - The operator is a thief, Viator too, the bus that was taking us was delayed so we lost the balloon but we contacted the operator to get us attracted or to send us your location to arrive and continue with the rest of the trip, since it was an all day tour, just yelled at us and told us that we had lost the trip, Viator was contacted who we paid for a partial disbursement and we were not returned anything, $580 for a service that they did not provide. Besides, you pay it back, we did it on our own for less than half of it.
