A lovely tour and felucca trip - Hamdy gave us an excellent tour around Karnak temple - he was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the fascinating history. The felucca journey to the temple was beautiful too and crewed by a very friendly team. The best-value tour we did in Luxor and definitely recommended!

It was hot. - I went to Luxor and Karnak temples. My guide Majed hassan took a long time to explore after the commentary. It was a particularly hot day in the middle of summer, but it was a very fulfilling time with cool car movement and rest breaks.

Great half day in luxor (kanak, luxor, and faluka) - We had a fantastic day with Remon. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable, he was also very good at adjusting our trip plan when the kids were overheating (they went to macdonalds in air-condition while some of us went to the luxor temple). Thank you for a great day, Remon!

Wrong tour - avoid - We booked Karnak Temple, with a felucca there and back (1 and 1/2 hour on boat in total).
Both the driver and tour guide (who we met at temple) thought we were on a different trip completely. We had to explain multiple times but due to the language barrier it was not fully understood.
There was no boat ride at all - we drove to and from the temple. This was extremely disappointing - we had only booked this trip because it included the boat.
The tour guide had very little information, except for pointing out different symbols - there were no facts or background. It was very rushed and we nearly left without seeing major sites. She also took multiple phone calls during our guide.
Karnak Temple is amazing but there is no need for this guide. We would have spent much more time at the temple on our own.
Extremely disappointed. We paid for 1 and 1/2 hour boat ride which did not take place and was not an option when explained.
I do not know what we paid for because a taxi to and from the temple would be very cheap. Complete waste of money.
I would recommend avoiding this trip.

It’s a scam and tourist trap! - Do NOT book this tour! The description is completely different than what you actually get! Also, there is NO watching the sunset on the felucca. They offer to take you back in a taxi to your hotel!
First of all, the “Felucca” ride was a regular boat. The ride itself is about 5 mins or less and then they keep you in the water stalling and making you dance so they can At the end ask you to pay them for the “show” they put up with you. They demand aggressively for a tip. I wasn’t expecting to pay anything additional, I didn’t have any small bill. Then my guy in a very RUDE manner told me I should carry small bills to tip them! Then at the temple while giving me the tour she had an attitude making real uncomfortable the entire time. She was obviously upset about the tipping situation. At the end of the tour, I was too uncomfortable with her (my guide) that I decided to decline the ride back to my hotel and decided to stay in the Temple to actually enjoy it. She kept insisting that I went back to some oil/perfume shop with her to show me some products but I didn’t go. She finally left me alone. I stayed around the temple, and then waited for the light show. Since I didn’t get to enjoy the Karnal temple after that bad situation with my guide, I decided to go alone on my own the next day and had a much better experience!
