The optimal choice!
I had one of the best tours of my life! I traveled solo, and the car was clean, modern, and equipped with A/C. Reem provided great historical context before we dove into each site, creating a truly well-articulated narrative. The team was incredibly flexible with time and adapted to my pace, whether I needed more time for questions and exploration or wanted to move a bit faster. They were also wonderfully transparent about the local culture, offering helpful advice on tipping, food, and anything else I needed.

Abu Simbel Tour, door to door service.
The Viator tour of Abu Simbel worked out GREAT for the 4 of us...
We were picked up promptly at the dock where are river cruise ship was situated, returned to that precise location as well. Our ride was comfortable and we had an outstanding tour guide, Omar. He provided a thorough explanation of the statuary and construction and relocation of this marvel

Thrilled!
The Full Day Tour to the East and West Banks of Luxor was one of the most memorable experiences of the entire Egypt trip. The day was long and quite intense, but absolutely worth it if you want to see Luxor’s most important attractions in a short time.
The guide was knowledgeable and explained the history of Egypt in an engaging way, not just with dry facts. The visits to the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, and Karnak Temple were the highlights. It is hard to understand how impressive these places are until you see them in real life. Karnak was especially breathtaking with its enormous columns and incredible details.

Great choice!
I enjoyed the tour very much. The guide Hany Yassen was very helpful and nice all the time. The driver Abdo eas very polite.
The nicest thing about the tour was that we’re able to do everything in our own pace, once we hada a private car only for my friend and I.

Good organizer to travel with
I didn’t get to ride the balloon because of the weather conditions, it had to be cancelled. However, the communication, transportation and prompted refund were excellent and on time as soon as I requested for the refund.
This was one of the best experiences I had in my entire Egypt trip(after diving in the Red Sea). I would recommend anyone to book through them if you want to book a balloon rides.

Magical Sunrise Balloon Ride in Luxor
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.

Luxor East Bank Temples Tour
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.

Full Day Luxor tour of tombs and temples!
This was an excellent tour company and tour guide! I requested a few last minute accommodations including pickup from the airport and the City of Workers (highly recommended) as an additional tour stop and they accommodated all of this with great communication. My tour guide Abdo is an Egyptologist and had an impressive amount of knowledge about the mythology and history of each site we visited. He was patient, communicative, informed and went out of his way to answer my questions and arrange the itinerary to ensure I could see everything I wanted. Despite a packed itinerary the pacing was excellent and I never felt either fatigued or rushed. Highly recommended this company and this tour guide!

Amazing trip - Worth it.
Great trip! Read all the bad reviews before and was really worried but it turned out perfect. The Hot Air Baloon Ride was amazing and we felt very safe.
After that we had Dr. Mo as our guide and he explained everything perfectly and not too long. We we‘re really flexible and it was a beautiful half day tour.
Thank you so much. Definitely recommend.

4 day/3 night Nile cruise with Abu Simbel & hot air balloon
We have just completed the 4 day/3 night Nile cruise including Abu Simbel & a hot air balloon over the Valley of the kings. The cruise was booked with Go Tours, through Viator. Mohamed could not have been better in both communicating & arranging our requirements & additional tours & travel. We would highly recommend this company. Our boat was the Nile Shama & although a little tired, was excellent. We had a great cabin on the top deck & the food was surprisingly good with excellent service, especially considering how little we had paid. We were also pleased with the very reasonable on-board prices for drinks (150 egp for a beer or glass of wine). We were very lucky that our guide was Talaat Abdo. From the beginning, nothing was too much trouble. His depth of knowledge of the history of the sites delivered with a great sense of humour, made an intensive trip very enjoyable. He assisted many of our group with onward travel and always delivered with what he promised. Don't miss out on Abu Simbel or the hot air balloon, they are highlights we will not forget. Be prepared, you are packing a 7 day itinerary into 4 days, with early starts but ample time for relaxation. Sailing down the Nile, particularly at night was magical. We highly recommend this cruise, an experience we will never forget.

Outstanding views, expert pilot
If you're interested in the best views of the valley of kings and the surrounding area, nothing beats this tour. Or guide/pilot demonstrated incredible control, precision and accurately launching,guiding and landing our balloon. He set it down on a dime. 🙂

Temples and tombs with Ahmed Omar
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.

Egypt’s ancient wonders come alive in Luxor. There’s so much history here that you’ll want to book a tour (or three) to make the most of your visit. Options include private excursions for a more personalized experience, multi-day Nile River cruises, hot-air balloon flights over the valley, and plenty of opportunities for visiting world-famous sites such as the Valley of the Kings and the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut.
