Exciting tour to Luxor - Hoda showed us the best sides of all the important sights in Luxor in a short time. We were immediately impressed by her upbeat and funny manner. She is very knowledgeable and answered all our questions courteously. The local lunch she organized in the old center of Luxor was excellent. The short trip on the Nile was an excellent idea from Hoda. We will definitely come back to Luxor and are already looking forward to going on another tour of the ancient sites of Luxor with Hoda. Many thanks to Hoda and her team. Carmen and Beat

A Day we'll Never Forget - Collected from our hotel in Soma Bay at 5:30 as arranged. Mohammed was our driver, we called him Lewis Hamilton as he was fast but we never felt unsafe. He got us there quickly and was always waiting when it was time to move on. Our guide was Mansour (Mannie) whose English was excellent and his enthusiasm great. We asked many questions and he knew the answers, explaining things clearly and obviously loved that we wanted to know more of his culture. Karnak was amazing, Valley of the Kings mind blowing! We paid extra to visit Seti I's tomb- very expensive but we were the only ones in it and it was beautiful. Food (included) was delicious, much better than I expected. Back to the hotel for 7:30, a day to remember, and what a great price! Remember to take plenty of money (we took USD) for tips

Top organizer - We had booked a 1 day trip from Soma Bay to Luxor. When preparing, I decided to make it a 2-day trip and book the hotel myself. After I didn't get an answer for a day, the email came that summarized everything the way I wanted it. We were picked up from the hotel on time with driver and guide Ahmet, who told us a lot about the local conditions and history. In Luxor itself the guide changed and we got a fluent German speaking guide Ahmed Mostafa, who was really great. We were looked after around the clock and really felt like we were in good hands. On the second day we went for lunch at our own expense, which I can only recommend, the restaurant Ahmed chose was wonderful. Yes, we were also driven to the papyr and stonemason sales exhibitions, but at least the second time Ahmed offered us to skip it. We had two great days in Luxor and can only recommend this organizer!

FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE TO HAVE - An incredible experience! The air-conditioned van and the driver were really kind, helpful and attentive. Everything right on time, the van comes to look for you in front of the hotel reception. The day is very well organised, I thank the Guide Ahmed and the manager Ahmed for communication, he is available for any need or question. I really recommend it!! Thanks again for this day full of emotions, I absolutely did not regret having visited this incredible place ❤️

What a day! - What an experience, we had to delay our trip as was poorly but Nada from the company was really kind and rearranged the day we went. She was wonderful throughout. We were picked up at 5.30am, bang on time. The driver collected the other driver in the way. Both were super, really friendly and courteous, no hassle at all. After a long drive where we had a rest break on the way we met with our guide who was wonderful through the day. Very knowledgeable about ancient Egypt and courteous throughout. Karnak Temple, well we could have stayed there all day really. I'm still processing what we saw. We had booked a sailboat trip but the wind was too high, our guide negotiated a river crossing to banana island instead which was a beautiful experience. We went to lunch in a restaurant, all absolutely fine, just pay for drinks. Then we headed to Valley of the Kings. That was some experience, another massive part of the memorable day that will live in the memory. How the tombs were built was mind boggling, our guide told us how long each took and what the workers did. Mind blowing. The last part of the tour was to Hatshepsut Temple. The stories our guide told us, especially about her son was incredible. Heading back, we ended up in an alabaster factory, the least enjoyable part. Promised no hard sell, it was really awkward, being given lovely drinks then the sales pitch. I did not like being put in that difficult position to accept hospitality then feel pressured to buy something. We dropped our guide off then headed back for the long drive to our hotel. What a day. I am so grateful to Nada of Marsa Alam tours for helping us and keeping us informed throughout. Our drivers and guide were excellent and I cannot praise or thank them enough for making this day one that I will never forget.

Excellent soma bay to Luxor day trip - 14 March 2022. The booking was simple and done the night before over WhatsApp. Pick up at 530am by Khalid the driver. He was brilliant all day…very efficient driver who was quick and safe. Roads are busy but felt really safe with him. Very very nice ac car. Actually I was very surprised and happy. Trip from soma bay to Luxor was long but really easy. Breaks and toilet stops ( very clean ) were very good. Met our wonderful guide Naama who accompanied us throughout stay in Luxor. Very clear and easy to understand English speaker. She spoke at a nice level of expertise, but when asked could really hit you with detail. Really enjoyed her thoughts on many things in modern Egypt. The tour was as described. Karnak, valley of kings, nice lunch, trip over Nile in motor launch etc. We added an extra tomb at Naama’s recommendation which was very good and really lifted the “standard tombs “. Went to a perfume shop which was interesting and there was no hard sell..we did not buy. Offered the alabaster factory which we declined. Again no issues. Upgraded to a felucca sailboat at end of day. $40 per couple seems a lot but it’s because the boat is all yours…beautiful way to end day - really enchanting tacking on the Nile. Last point is security and safety.. we felt really secure and looked after. A lot of police checks which felt strange coming from UK, but actually in the end comforting. Our guide and driver really made us feel happy. Andrew

Worth the trip - discovering parts of Egypt’s history and see the countryside on the way - We had a great private tour, which was definitely worth the long drive. Jahab, our driver, was always keen on telling us about things happening on the side of the road. Our guide was lovely and she was very knowledgeable - helping us to make sense of the long Egyptian history.
