A Journey Through Egypt Made Easy - A trip to Egypt would not be complete without booking this tour. We were able to see so much of this amazing country without any hassles. Our tour guide, Abbas, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Egyptian history, making our experience even more enriching. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore the wonders of Egypt without any stress.

Fascinating tour! Highly recommended! - Amazing experience as we started our to to Luxor from Cairo. Our plane got delayed but our guide Hatem and driver Ayman managed our time well so that we can experience the whole trip. The car we used clean and smells good. . Our driver was presentable and our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the sites. He also knew where to take good pictures and has a lot of insider tips on the best locations. They were friendly and accommodating especially our boatman Adly. The temples were fascinating, the itinerary was well balanced and we did not feel rushed. Food was great too and most of all, we were in the company of friendly local people.

Great Tour Guide and Memorable tour - Hectic trip but worth it. My family and I are grateful to Salwa, Mohammad and Hatem for the best and memorable tour. Hatem is very knowledgeable and managed to keep us relaxed and happy with the tour without rushing us. It was great to cruise the Nile and to enjoy the sunset with great temperature and company. Overall, we are grateful for this team to keep us safe and made this as one of the memorable trips.

All the best of Luxor in one day but not rushed - Our guide, Hatem, was amazing. He gave us great tips on all of the best places to visit, had good photo ideas, and provided excellent guidance. Hatem is a knowledgeable Egyptologist, and we learned so much, on top of enjoying the pure splendor of Luxor. The entire day was seamless, from driver in Cairo to flights to the tour. Ending the day with a felucca sunset cruise was incredible.

Exceptional tour of Luxor led by an experienced and extremely knowledgeable tour guide. Highly recommend. - We had an amazing day in Luxor. Are tour guide Hatem, a trained Egyptologist, was extremely knowledgeable. He organized the tour so that we arrived early avoiding the crowds. There were plenty of photo opportunities and we have gorgeous pictures that we will treasure. One of the highlights of the tour was a sunset ride along the Nile that Hatem timed to coincide with sunset. Pure perfection!

Makes for a LONG day, especially if return flights booked late in day and/or get delayed - Credit where credit is due: This is a GREAT itinerary that hits the highlights of a day in Luxor. That being said, the company delayed by a month between my booking the trip and them booking the flights. During that time, the more convenient flight timings had sold out, leaving us stuck in Luxor until late into the night (which would have turned into "well into the morning" had we not managed some last-minute sweet-talking at the airport). Suggest anyone considering this tour reach out soon (and often) to advocate for good flights (suggest EGYPTAIR and NOT Air Cairo, Nesma, nor Nile Air) as better timing and less stressful start/end to your day will make a lot of difference. And consider inquiring about a horse-drawn carriage ride through town before heading back to the airport, time permitting. It's a great way to experience Luxor after the sun has gone down!

Egyptologist guide incredible, company not so much - We are torn with this review. Our tour guide and driver were incredibly amazing!! Absolutely incredible when it came to the wealth of knowledge our guide had. The actual booking and behind the scenes with this company was deplorable! I messaged this company days prior to the tour, to verify all was still going ahead as planned. We also wanted to tell them we did not wish to do the camel ride and felucia ride, and got silence. We finally got an email days later with 3 tickets for the flight to Luxor and back. We needed 4, two seats to Luxor, two seats return. They bought us one return seat. I messaged them through trip advisor, through the WhatsApp number who originally acknowledged the tour booking and the WhatsApp number who sent us the three tickets.. dead silence. The first message we received was the morning of the tour from our driver to bring us to the Cairo airport for our flight to Luxor. He told us the driver and guide on Luxor would make sure everything was ok. They did just that, however the company was less than helpful and blamed us for not contacting them. We would also like to bring attention to the fact that this tour is almost a 20 hour day. Pickup at 330am, not 430, the tour itself, food, camel, felucia etc and your return flight leaves Luxor at 1130pm.. we only realized the length after getting our tickets. Be prepared to spend an incredible amount of time away. Yes the car was air conditioned but it’s an incredibly long day if you’re not prepared or aware. Again, our guide was absolutely incredible. He has a masters in Egyptology! We can’t speak highly enough of him. But prepare for radio silence from the tour company once they have your money.
