Hassan and Luxor Travels were amazing! Definitely recommend for Luxor/Valley of the Kings - This was our first trip to Africa, Egypt, etc. we are world travelers but anyone who has been to this neck of woods knows, it can be a little confusing. So we looked on TripAdvisor for a highly rated tour company. That’s when I came across Luxor Travels. I booked the tour for the Valley of the Kings somewhat last minute. Luxor Travels immediately sent a confirmation and explained what to expect. Very clear and amazing communications! Next, our tour guide Hassan reached out to me via WhatsApp. I let him know we would be landing from Cairo at 8:45am instead of early (private tour was slated for 8am). Hassan put our worries aside with his easy going attitude. No problem, we start when we get there he reaffirmed! Luxor Travels and Hassan also rearranged pickup and dropoff from the air port last minute. We did have to walk outside the gates on pickup because we didn’t give Luxor Travels enough time to get authority for airport pickup. But communications were absolutely excellent and it was easy. The van was air conditioned. The driver drove safe. Hassan was so cheerful and friendly. His passion for Luxor (his home as well), really shined throughout the full day as he was teaching us so many things about the tombs. Not only was he very informative but he really made the whole tour fun. He educates, he jokes, and you really feel as if you are making a friend as well. After an excellent trip in the Valley of Kings (he did a great job recommending which tombs were worth looking at and what order to conserve your energy), he recommended for a reasonable fee to see Karnak and Luxor temples. We were hesitant at first, but he really sold them with his passion. He said, “seriously.. you came all this way and you aren’t going to want to miss the temples. They are amazing.” I’m so glad he did, they are INCREDIBLE! I saw the Greek Necropolis in January, and those ruins didn’t hold a candle to these massive ruins!!! Do not miss out on them. The towering statues, colorful writings on the walls were mind blowing. In between the Valley of Kings and the temples, we had lunch at a local restaurant. They took great care of us and the food was delicious. I recommend the kofta or beef. The chicken was slightly dry for my liking. Overall, I cannot recommend Luxor Travels and Hassan enough. (request Hassan if he’s available!!!!!). Hassan created memories for a life time. We didn’t go through TripAdvisor for the pyramids of Giza outside Cairo. They tried to scam us with insane tips (80 usd more than the norm, luckily I caught on and did quick research). Luxor Travels is very legit. Hassan is fun, professional, and very knowledgeable!! Don’t miss out!

The mini bus was nice, and Hassan made sure we were comfortable and understanding throughout the tour. I would definitely recommend the hot air balloons!!! Big highlight. Very pleased with Hassan’s service and the West Bank tour.

Outstanding guide for Luxor - We planned a marathon day with Hassan as our guide and Ramadan as our driver. First to the Valley of the Kings, where Hassan gave us excellent advice about which tombs to see. We were traveling with an eight year old (a fairly precocious one, mind), and Hassan kept all of us including her engaged in the stories of Egyptian history. He even gave us an option to hear more or stop. We all asked to continue, and we all learned so much in a fun way. From the Valley we went to Deir el Bahri, which has been restored, but is still very interesting. Hassan took us to an alabaster factory, which we didn’t request but did enjoy. We could have opted out if we had wanted to. He took us to a very good restaurant with local Egyptian food, which we also enjoyed. We then asked to go to Karnak! He must have been exhausted, but we also really enjoyed that experience. He taught us to read a few hieroglyphs. All in all, Hassan and Ramadan did a wonderful job as our guide and driver. I would trust them and choose him again every time.

Very good, fast and well explained visit. - The guide Hassan attended us wonderfully, we did not understand much English and he was perfectly understood because he did much to understand him, friendly and advised at all times what to do and how to get the tickets. Tour recomendable con Hassan.

Amazingly insightful tour with Amin - We had a great tour through the Valley of the Kings, King Tut’s tomb and the Temple of Hatshepsut. Our guide Amin was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. He answered all of our questions and gave us time to explore at our own pace. We’d highly recommend this experience!

Great company & excellent tour of the West Bank in Luxor - We had a wonderful tour this morning with Ayad to the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, the statues of Mmemmon & the House of Howard Carter. Everything was so well organised including initially contacting the company to make the booking and the air conditioned transfers (needed in the 39 degree heat). But what made it very special was how likeable, courteous and knowledgable we found Ayad and how personalised he made the whole experience feel. We would definitely recommend using Luxor Travels, the whole thing was a joy from start to finish.
