Abu Simbel Tour
We were a group of 8 on a Viking RiverCruise. The excursion to Abu Simbel did not have enough plane seats available for all of us so we booked the day through Viator. We were connected with Omar, our tour guide from Black Dragon Tours. He did a fabulous job. Excellent historical knowledge and a joy to travel with. We had a private 8 person tour in a comfortable van that drove us 3 hrs to the temples. Yes a plane ride is much quicker but would have had to sit in the airport waiting for 2 hrs to leave so we arrived at the site at least 45 min before them. It was quite interesting driving thru the Sahara dessert and learned quite a bit about it. We arrived safely about 10:00 AM and had the entire place to ourselves!! Not a single person in the temples with us. As we were finishing up the groups from out boat that flew were just arriving. The point is we saved $400 per person on the same excursion, had the best experience at the temples and arrived back only 30 min after everyone else. This is a great alternative. Request Omar he’s wonderful!!

An Unforgettable Day in Luxor
My friend and I booked this full-day Luxor tour and it genuinely exceeded every expectation. Over the course of one remarkable day, we visited the Valley of the Kings, the Valley of the Queens, Hatshepsut Temple, Luxor Temple, and Karnak Temple — an ambitious itinerary that was pulled off seamlessly thanks to two exceptional people.
Our driver, Mahmood Salek, was outstanding from start to finish. He navigated a packed schedule with impressive efficiency, getting us to every site safely and on time without a single moment of stress. Beyond logistics, Mahmood added real warmth to the day — sharing his knowledge of the local area and giving us a genuine window into life in Egypt. That personal connection made the experience feel so much richer than a standard tour.
Our Egyptologist guide, Alaa Korany, was simply in a class of his own. His depth of knowledge across every single site was extraordinary, and what set him apart was his ability to tailor the experience to our interests and keep up with every question we threw at him. His passion for Egyptology is completely authentic — you can feel it — and it made each monument come alive in a way that no guidebook ever could. We cannot praise him highly enough.
We had a little extra time before our flight, and both Mahmood and Alaa went out of their way to make sure we used it well and left with smiles on our faces. That level of care and hospitality speaks volumes.
If you're visiting Luxor, do not hesitate to book this tour. Ask for Mahmood and Alaa by name — you won't regret it.

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.

A tour for those who want depth
I travel a lot and and I love history. In my first time in Egypt I needed tours that would allowed me to learn as much as possible in a digestible way. This is exactly what I got in this tour. Amira gave me the depth I wanted while exploring the West side of Luxor. She was able to give me enough details about the temples and tombs to make me feel knowledgeable about ancient Egypt afterlife traditions. Amira is very experienced with more than 26 years as a guide and she is able to dispense her expertise at the right amount. The tour took about seven hours, including lunch. We covered multiple temples, the valley of the kings, the valley of the queens and the city of the artisans, with a brief stop by the Colossi. The pace was comfortable and conducive to a lot of Q&A interactions. This is a tour for people who want to go beyond the highlights and I highly recommend it.

Queen status while visiting the Valley of the Kings
Roshdy made this excursion even more amazing with his knowledge and humor. He made sure we had plenty of water while on our tour and his love for history was evident as we listened to his stories. So much more enjoyable than someone just repeating facts. I appreciated him walking with us and pointing out popular sights and then also giving us time to just wander on our own. He took us to a local alabaster shop and even helped us negotiate a good price for some one of a kind souvenirs. I would absolutely recommend Roshdy to any future travelers.

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.
