Worth while day trip - After a long and bumpy coach ride wonderful to see the lush green feudal fields in Luxor still tended by hand with a donkey. A truely ‘biblical’ scene. Valley of the Kings impressive and beautiful. Karnak spectacular in size and once magnificence. Local lunch in cool setting under trees with tasty dishes. A very worthwhile day excursion with good guide.

Amazing tour around Luxor - We had a great day being guided around Luxor by Said. He was very knowledgable about the tombs and temples and organised the day to suit our needs. After a very early flight from Sharm el Sheik we started off in the Temple of Karnak, had a carriage ride around town, lunch by the river Nile, quick boat ride across for a short drive to the Valley of the Kings and Hatsuptep. The obligatory factory tour and then a longer boat trip on the Nile stopping briefly at banana island. Long day but we’ll wort it. Organisation was perfect and Said was a great guide.

A day trip to Luxor with guide Romany Hanna - Had a wonderful daytrip to Luxor from Sharm el sheik 18 january this year. We went to to valley of the king, temple of Hatsepsut, Karnak temple, Luxor temple, and had a nice lunch at a local restaurant chosen by our guide Romany Hanna, and ended with a boattrip on the Nile and a tour in the Winter palace hotel. Thanks to mr Hanna’s knowledge about ancient Egypt, I had a very experienced day around in Luxor.

Amazing experience - The excursion was very well organized. Our guide Ahmed told us about the new and old Egypt in a very exciting and entertaining way and was always ready to answer all our questions. In addition, we were a small group and thus had an advantage over a large group of buses. It was a perfect day that will be remembered for a long time.

Amazing tour - A really long day but it was absolutely worth it!!!. Our guide was the best we could have!! He knew so much about Egyptian history, the lifestyle of ancient egyptians, all the temples we visited. He told us all about history, the life of the locals in the past and in the present and you could really tell he was enjoying doing this. He gave us useful advices about the shops, the money and really everything we asked. The organisation was great, we managed to see everything included in the program.

NEVER book with Charming Egypt Tours - What a farce! We had booked a private day trip from Sharm El Sheikh to Luxor. Paid everything and received confirmation, but no information regarding pick-up location and/or time. Try to reach Charming Egypt Tours (local organization) through various channels: Whatsapp, Messenger, Tripadvisor… Both in English and Arabic. No response whatsoever. I finally called Charming Egypt Tours a few hours before our planned trip and was informed in broken English that the flight had been canceled. My request for written confirmation of this cancellation once again remained unanswered... Finally, I contacted Viator head office by email. They responded almost immediately. They were also not aware of a cancellation, Charming Egypt Tours apparently had not bothered to notify them either. After +/- 2 hours, another email from Viator with confirmation of cancellation and refund. The amount was refunded on the same day. So 5 stars for the service of Tripadvisor/Viator but 0 stars for Charming Egypt Tours. If they had warned us, we could have avoided a lot of time and stress during our rest holiday!!
