Amazing tour, the guide was very knowledgeable. - We have an amazing experience. Our driver Omar arrived promptly at our airport to pick us up and dropped us off after the tour ended. He drove diligently and was very experienced. Our tour guide, Angie, had vast knowledge of Egyptian history as well as regional history and culture. She thoroughly explained the importance and history of each location we visited in great detail. She was very nice and designed adapted the tour itinerary to our needs. We would definitely recommend this tour and the tour guide to other people. Thank you for a lovely experience.

Great day out at Luxor - Great overall experience. Prompt communication in advance to confirm details and timings. Our driver, Ahmed, was perfectly on time, the vehicle was clean and modern and although the drive was long, the roads were quiet. We met our guide, Sayed Gamal, in Luxor and went to Karnak first. Sayed already had tickets for us for each of the places we visited and entry was very smooth. Sayed was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history which really brought the places to life. We opted for the optional river boat crossing to the West Bank as we’d already spent a fair amount of time driving. Lunch was pleasant at a restaurant by the Nile and wherever we went Ahmed was always there waiting to take us to the next location so never any waiting around. Had a really good day visiting the temples and tombs, really fascinating and inspiring. We were safely returned to our hotel by Ahmed and although a long day, it was really worth it. Thoroughly recommend. Suggest maybe ask your hotel for a packed breakfast for the journey as it is an early start.

Brilliant whistle stop tour of Luxor highlights - Although it was a 4am start, it was worth it! Communication was great, they kept us informed about what was happening and answered any queries. Our driver, Ahmed, was on time, friendly and a safe driver for the day and looked after us very well - and was super easy to chat with. Our guide, Sayed Gamal, was on time, friendly, easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. He brought the history to life as we visited the various sites and was obviously very knowledgeable. He ensured we visited all the places we hoped to. We also went on a boat across the Nile, which was a lovely cool break on a warm day. Ahmed made sure we always had water available when we visited the various sites and when we left the air-conditioned minibus. Lunch was included, and there was plenty to eat, additional soft drinks were at the going rate too. We were delivered safely back to the hotel before dinner finished. A great trip, highly recommend if you don't have time to spend more than a day in Luxor, and would highly recommend Ahmed and Sayed who made it super easy and a total pleasure. It's encouraged us to return to do Aswan and Cairo too,as there is so much to see.

Good experience - Good communication with the organization a few days before the experience, punctual arrival for the PK at the hotel, car in good condition and were kind to make up for a trip with a driver not too experienced. The guides speak a macaronic English but in Egypt a bit always like this. There's no way not to be taken to their little shops that they agree with and the visits are a bit hasty But you also have to consider that the day is really very long experience so basically very positive

We did a great experience... - We did a great experience in our daily trip to Luxor. The private van was clean and new. Two drivers shared the long drive in order to provide the highest safety during the trip. Sayed has been an excellent guide during the whole day in Luxor, providing all the relevant information about the historical spots of the site, helping with the tickets in the sites and with good suggestions about the tombs to visit. Long day but a must to see if you are in Marsa Alam.

The highlight of the holiday - I highly recommend going on this trip as it was an amazing experience. We were in safe hands with our driver Salah whose driving was so good we slept most of the way there. This meant that we were fully awake and ready to learn from our knowledgeable guide Sayed Gamal who bought the history of the pharaohs to life for us.

Wonderful day in Luxor - The guide Mohammed Abdelgwad (speaks english and german) is Top! Ask for him and you will be very satisfied. We had a lot to see, he chooses the best and most interesting things. And also the lunch was very tasty. We were there as a family (4 pers), which was perfect.

Perfect private tour - We went on this private tour and everything was as advertised. The driver picked us up and dropped us off on time (allow 4-5 hours from el Quseir), no delays. Our tour guide on the day, Sayed, was great. I was struggling with the heat and he was very attentive, finding shady spots and timing the breaks in cooler places. He was also very knowledgeable about the history, temples ans the various tombs. Adapted to our pace and preferences. Would definitely recommend it!

Driver top, guided tour sufficient - The driver picked us up on time and drove us neatly from Marsa Alam to Luxor. After reading all the good reviews I expected a little more from the tour. The guide was ok but not what I was used to from previous Egypt tours. The lunch at the Panorama restaurant was also disappointing. Options on food I found very limited. On previous excursions in Egypt, there were very many options. Do not know if this restaurant was the personal choice of the guide or the regular restaurant of the operator.

Charming Luxor - Great experience from Marsa to Luxor with comfortable car and reliable driver Salah! In Luxor we found our guide Sayed who accompanied us in the different stages explaining what we visited. At the end of the visits we also had lunch in a good place and then ended our trip in Luxor itself, as per our special request. We recommend!
