Top Luxor Day Trips - page 15

We had a wonderful hot air balloon experience in Luxor. It was truly special for us, especially because the flights had been cancelled for the last 5 days. So when it finally took off, there was so much excitement and happiness all around. Our guide, Yisri, was very organised, full of energy, and made everything smooth from start to finish. He kept everyone informed and made sure we were comfortable throughout. Our pilot, Baqir, was very experienced. The take-off and landing were both very smooth, which made us feel safe and relaxed during the whole ride. The ground team also did a great job, carefully guiding the balloon and making sure we landed in a safe place. Overall, it was a beautiful and memorable experience. Watching the sunrise over Luxor from the sky is something we will never forget.

We had a wonderful day exploring the East Bank. Our tour guide Salwa was extremely knowledgeable and informative. We were picked up on time, she guided us through the Karnak and Luxor Temples. She explained the history and meaning of several drawings/ writings in through detail, took our photos and gave us time to take photos as we went along and also in the end. She was easy to chat to, really friendly and made our tour very enjoyable.

Great half day excursion. With the newer road only takes about 4 hours. Hassan was a good guide. All three places were very worthwhile with well preserved and colourful carvings, especially at the artisans village where they were so complete and quite unique.

Our guide Mr.Taie Omar from Emo Tour was great! We were very lucky to have met him and were impressed by his passion of Egyptian history and culture. Taje was very professional and knowledgeable and a wonderful storyteller. He took care of us carefully and plan the travel route efficiently. Taje always started with an overview of the site and explain the history, walked us through the site and at the end leave us time for photographing. We highly recommend Taje to any tourist who love Egyptian history.

We had an amazing full-day private tour with Hosney as our guide. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. He contacted us in advance via WhatsApp, explained all the details, confirmed the pickup time and location, and everything went exactly as promised. The tour itself was fantastic. Hosney has very good English and an incredible depth of knowledge. He explained not only what we were seeing, but also how the temples were built, how they were meant to function and why specific scenes are depicted in certain places. He even brought visual materials and pictures to help us better understand things we would never notice or understand on our own. What I really appreciated is that he actively engaged us during the tour, asked questions, and required our full attention, which made the experience much more interesting and immersive. It truly felt like a personalized experience — he clearly said that this was “our day” and that we could adjust anything we wanted along the way. Water was provided as described in the tour, and although lunch was not included, he took us to a great place with delicious local Egyptian food. We were very satisfied. Overall, this was one of the best tour experiences I’ve ever had. Highly recommended if you want a deep, well-structured, and truly private tour with a professional guide.

Ahmed Omar was a great guide for this full day tour of the temples and tombs. The private tour is recommended, as it allows for a more intimate learning experience. He always checked to see if I had any more questions. A very thoughtful guide. A nice lunch to finish the day.

Our family had an absolutely incredible experience with Valley of Kings and the hot air balloon ride! Dr. Mo was an exceptional tour guide, truly a brilliant Egyptology professor, and an equally skilled hot air balloon pilot, making our trip unforgettable. The drivers were also fantastic, ensuring smooth and comfortable transfers throughout our journey. Just a heads-up for future travelers: if you're paying by card, confirm they bring the machine with them. This was a truly five-star adventure we'll cherish forever!

This tour around the pyramids was truly unforgettable! Our tour guide Osama was fantastic — knowledgeable, passionate, and very engaging. We got plenty of time to walk around and take photos. Osama was very patient during all our photo shoot and even participated and directed us in some of our poses. I highly recommend this tour.
