A memorable trip - We had a wonderful day trip seeing all the beautiful sites Luxor has to offer! Our guide Nasser was fantastic and had many great stories to tell which were memorable as well as he included us in the storytelling! He is also very knowledge and can read hieroglyphics so it was interesting to know the real meanings rather than interpretations! Excellent hospitality as he was always checking we were comfortable and hydrated and even bought us ice cream as we drove back to the hotel! The sites are breathtaking and we had ample time to explore at all of them! It felt very calm and relaxing rather than feeling chaotic as it was a busy day! Would highly recommend to everyone!

Excellent Off-the-Beaten-Path Tour for true history enthusiasts. - We had a private driver for a full day on the West Bank of Luxor and it was an excellent experience. The tour started at 6 a.m. and our driver Ahmed was punctual and very friendly. He shared little anecdotes here and there, which made the day even more enjoyable. He was very respectful and pleasant. We were able to discover some lesser-known places that are definitely worth a visit. This tour is highly recommended and Ahmed in particular was especially kind and helpful.

West bank Luxor tour - Highly enjoyable day. Well paced day covering lots of sights on the West Bank. Appreciated the adaptability as we got to add in some less visited sites. Our guide Abdelwahab was so knowledgeable and advised us on the best tombs etc to visit - he helped us avoid the big crowds. Allowed plenty of time at each site and it never felt rushed. Gave us so much information! After nearly 2 weeks in Egypt, I can honestly say he has been the best guide of the trip. Comfortable car with good driver too. Great value for money.

Our favourite tour in Egypt - We had an amazing time with Azab our guide. He was very knowledgeable and attentive to all our needs. Before the tour began, we told him we wanted to take our time at each location and didn’t want to stop at any souvenir shops and he happily obliged. He waited for us patiently while we took photos, answered all our questions and even kindly bought us sugarcane juice even though it was Ramadhan and he was fasting! Amazing Egyptian hospitality. He also helped us shoo away any hagglers from disturbing us and brought us to different spots for pictures and history lessons. It was easily one of our best tours in Egypt. I highly recommend. If you are assigned Azab as your guide, count yourself lucky!🤭 you’ll have a great time. And Azab, if you read this, thank you for making us feel like family🫶🏻

10/10 experience – funny, smart, and safe! - Hands down the best tour in Luxor! The itinerary is fantastic – it covers all the major sites like the Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut Temple, but also includes hidden gems like Medinat Habu and the Valley of the Artisans (Deir el-Medina). However, the absolute best part of the day was that the guide is a true expert! He truly is a walking encyclopedia! He knows so much about Egyptian history and answered all the questions with ease. He was also super funny and made the history come alive. His English is clear and excellent, so i understood everything perfectly. And the driver was a very safe and smooth driver who also had a great sense of humor! He made me feel comfortable and secure the entire trip. A perfect mix of learning and laughing. Highly recommended!

Abdelwahab - knowledgeable and passionate. - Abdelwahab, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you. If you do this tour, I would recommend asking for Abdelwahab specifically. His English is excellent, and after studying Egyptology for four years, his depth of knowledge is truly outstanding. What really shone through for me was his absolute passion - such a joy to behold. Abdelwahab went above and beyond for us. Such a lovely friendly person too. Five stars plus.

Luxor West Bank Memories Tour - I used an unguided tour on January 26, 2026. All three of our family members could barely speak English and Arabic was only a greeting, so we had a lot of interaction using translation apps and WhatsApp, but thanks to the driver Abdo, it was a great experience. At the beginning, I wanted to see the Valley of the Kings slowly, so I spent about 3 hours sightseeing, so some of the other ruins were a bit short and I could only see them from a distance, but I think they were better furnished because I was getting more tired than I had expected. It was a bit high-minded, but the lunch shop that I was hastily introduced to was also delicious and it was nice to take a break. I am very grateful to Abdo-san.
