Does what it promises! - Great day!
Long and exhausting journey, but this one was also worth seeing. You drive through old villages where agriculture is still done by hand.
The temples are really impressive and our guide gave us a lot of in-depth information, even if he repeated himself a lot.
You definitely get your steps in that day, and in the blazing sun, so make sure you cover your head and shoulders. There was unlimited water in the van. We were also able to leave things we didn't need in the car, which helped a lot.
We also booked the Nile cruise on site. This was very nice and much more worthwhile than one in Cairo, which we also did.
What is really annoying are the sales events that you always have to have on trips like this, but a no is accepted.
All in all a beautiful day and Luxor is definitely a must for a holiday in Egypt

wonderful day in Luxor - We had a wonderful day in Luxor. The day is super long so you have to be mentally prepared :D They picked us up before 4AM and headed to the other hotels for pick up. They selected a good bunch of people ( or we were just lucky ), roughly the same age same energy level :). It was a bit confusing as we changed both drivers and tour guides, but everyone was super friendly. Mohammed was our tour guide in Luxor, very knowledgeable and very helpful. Lunch was ok but not great for our taste. You need to pay at 99% of the toilets we stopped at, so be prepared with change ( 10 EGP ,0.30$/€) . We returned just after 10PM. All in all fantastic day

Luxor Tour was fantastic - The communications and organisation were excellent. Our drivers were just great. Mohammed our guide in Luxor qas fantastic. His English was excellent and his information always precise and delivered well. He orchestrated our visits to architectural sites with minimal fuss.
Valley of the kings A truly amazing place!!, We visited Rameses I,III, IX, and of course, the boy King's tomb where we stood 3ft from Tut himself. The landscape is awesome, and the detail still visible in some of the tombs is ... just WOW!!, and when we visited you could take photo / video
The whole day will not be forgotten

highly recommended - A very nice day from the start, our tour guide Mohamed was very good. He gave us a lot of information about each stop and, above all, plenty of time to explore independently. From the Karak Temple to the Nile cruise to the Valley of the Kings/Queens, it was very successful and a lot of fun. Booking a tour is highly recommended, even if the journey takes a little longer it was worth it.

Fantastic - Mohammed our guide was exceptionally knowledgeable, kind, caring, passionate and just fantastic. The whole team accommodated us thoroughly throughout the full day of adventuring. It certianly was one of the best tours. If you wish to have longer time digesting history in full detail without any time pressure however, you might just need a private guide/tour.

value for money - First we went Karnak Temple, this was very great. The process was very smooth from beginning to end on this trip. We were given an itinerary for the activities at the beginning from Mohamed. He was very explanatory of every activity by drawing in the ground of the layout of tombs and taught us the ancient hieroglyphics. The itinerary for the entire day was explained at the beginning idea what we doing every step of the way. All our tickets were included in this tour so we didn’t have to pay extra to see any of the sights. The only thing that we didn’t enjoy was the detour to the alabaster place where the man working there was a little too forceful with trying to sell things. We didn’t feel rushed and got to enjoy every part of the tour other than that. Mohamed Ismael was an excellent guide although and no question was ever too much! The extra boat trip to the Nile was enjoyable and the fruits were tasty. Overall great value for money.

Excellent - The reliable and even punctual transport was good. There was a small breakfast snack and water. However, the trip to Luxor from El Gouna took a very long time. The guide spoke quite good German and answered all questions about the graves and temples. Lunch as a buffet was also okay. The only thing that wasn't good was the visit to the alabaster factory. That was more of a fake sales.

Enjoyable trip - I listened a lot about the Nile Cruise, my sisters and I, where the Nile, the temples and the monuments were very beautiful and the landscapes are very beautiful. I will repeat this trip with my friends who enjoyed a lot of the pictures we took
