A must try tour!! - Very amazing experience in Luxor. They took me to Karnak and Luxor temples in a very efficient timely manner😊. Emaad was an excellent guide he explained the story behind the temples in a comprehensive way and answered all the questions I had 😁. Other teams members were very helpful as well. Bob and Abanoub were in touch with me and ensured that everything was going according to plan

Luxor guide - Great experience. Our guide was Abanoub. They picked us up in the hotel and we went to see Karnak and Luxor temple. Guide was professional and interesting. I recommend you use his photo-shooting skills since he is very experienced and patient for us since we wanted to have decent memory from this unique places (I will put examples). He bought drink and food for us for local prices and temple tickets so we don’t lose time waiting for them. His english is excellent which was important for us. I recommend 👍🏼

Luxor East Bank Tour - Abanoub had an extensive knowledge of the sites we visited and I was blown away by the history of the temples. Abanoub was happy to take many photos and videos for our social media, giving great suggestions of how to get the best shots which we really appreciated! We had only one day in Luxor and Abanoub made sure we fitted in all the important sites- I learnt so much from him. I highly recommend Abanoub as a tour guide- he is both professional and friendly and I really enjoyed my tour with him.

Incredible experience - This experience was amazing, from start to finish everything was organised and planned along with food and a stop off to see how local goods are made. The temples are so unique and must see. Our guide was extremely knowledgable and informative, sharing even the small details that would usually be missed. I can’t recommend visiting Karnak and Luxor temples enough!

Great experience - Very knowledgeable and friendly guide who took care of all the arrangements for us. Just had to show up at out hotel lobby and spend the rest of the time focusing on the sightseeing. After the tour of the temples, our guide Abanoub took us to a local restaurant to have some lunch. We got a lot more out of our day in Luxor than expected and decided to arrange another tour of the West Bank with the same guide.

Egypt best tour experience - It was an amazing experience in Nile cruise and it was our 17th year of wedding anniversary We felt it was best choose in choosing Egypt as our destination and also Anoub our tour guide made it even more better with his skills in managing our itinary and where ever we went for sight seeing Edfu - Horus , Abu simble, king of valley, everywhere he gave us all the historic information which is necessary and also took amazing pictures of us. Karnak temple which is the biggest temple on world, amunroh, Hatshepsut, a queen who ruled for many years and also Kom ombo where crocodile were worshiped and how priests managed the temple and how offerings were given to the god. All these information was explained to us and Egyptian civilisation is one every one should know about. Thank you Anoub for all that u have made our trip special and beautiful and also memorable.

Best Guide - We had arranged for a walking tour and an east bank tour with Abanoub through Airbnb. On the evening of our first day in Luxor, we began our experience with a local walk, exploring the streets and learning about the city's rich heritage and contemporary culture from Abanoub's captivating stories. His narratives gave us a deeper understanding of Luxor's fascinating past and present. Initially, we had only booked the east bank tour with Abanoub, uncertain whether to do a guided tour of the West bank. However, after meeting Abanoub and experiencing the walking tour, we decided to go ahead and book the West bank tour as well. Next day, we had already finished the East Bank tour with Abanoub and were taking a break for lunch when we received a call from Abanoub that his father was unwell and he would not be able to lead the rest of the tour. Nevertheless, his uncle Bob stepped in as a replacement guide and picked us up in his car at the restaurant. Together, we headed towards the Luxor and Karnak Temple to continue our tour. Abanoub is knowledgeable in the field of history and culture, but he draws inspiration from his uncle Bob. We were fortunate to have the opportunity to meet Bob, who is a true expert in the field. Anyone who meets Bob will undoubtedly develop a love for history. With his extensive experience working on expeditions in Egypt, Bob is like an encyclopedia of knowledge. His captivating narratives will leave you fully engrossed and Abanoub, following his uncle's footsteps, has the same effect. I highly recommend Abanoub as a guide and confidently say that you will not regret choosing him. He is truly the best in what he does, and can plan the entire trip for you, accurately advising on what is worth doing and what can be skipped. So, don't hesitate and book your tour with him, you will have a great experience. Lastly, I would like to extend my gratitude to both Abanoub and Bob for making our trip an unforgettable one. They both went above and beyond to ensure that our experience was enjoyable and memorable.

Basic - The advertisement indicated that I would be meeting with the tour guide on a horse carriage, but upon arrival, this was not the case. The tour title, "First Impression of... by Horse Carriage," was misleading. Instead, we walked to the first point of interest, and when I inquired about the horse carriage, the tour guide informed me that it would only be used on the way back. However, this did not occur, except for a brief horse ride to the last point of interest. At the end of the tour, the advertisement stated that we would return to the museum (again, assuming back with the horse carriage) which was close to my hotel. When I asked the tour guide about this, tour guide stated that it was not part of the instructions he was provided with. Eventually, he offered to walk me back to the museum, but I declined and stayed behind. I also did not appreciate the constant photo taking with the red scarf at each point, rather would have been ideal to ask me if I am okay with it. In conclusion, I think the tour was basic, it also seems like I did not get the positive tour guide experience as others have.

Disturbing Experience. - Unfortunately the tour was memorable for the wrong reasons. The horse used to tow the carriage was clearly in an emaciated state - Old and bones pertruding. It was a hot day and the horse fell and was unable to get up on its own. After detaching the harnesses, they managed to get it to its feet and planned to proceed. I refused to continue and asked to be returned to the motel. I was loaded onto another carriage with a horse in much better shape. I understand the need for locals to make a living, but what I experienced was disturbing. The tour operators need to regulate the animals used more closely. There were other horses that had been clearly looked after by their owners and looked healthy. unfortunately, the majority of horses were not.
