What are people saying about Luxor

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.

Best Way to see Abu Simbel (with driver Mark)
Our driver Morkos Hana (Mark) was excellent. Picked us (4 pax) up onboard our Viking ship at exactly 4:00 AM. He brought water and snacks for us and was full of interesting information about Abu Simbel and southern Egypt. Drove very safely in our newish Toyota Hiace van. Had a timely restroom stop halfway into the 3-hour drive. Morkos had tickets for us upon arrival and connected us with the best guide- Tiger. The temples are spectacular and the guide was very good. The return trip was smooth and restful- I think we all napped a bit on the way back.
As for the Viator part…the booking was a little frustrating. I never could select the correct pick-up point because the preset choices were all hotels…”cruise ships” or the port were not options. Right to the last day, Viator threatened to cancel if I didn’t select a pick-up point. I was finally able to message the operator to let them know we were on a Viking ship. Also frustrating was that we bought the Luxury Tour, including entrance fees….but our itinerary and receipt continued to list entrance fees as “not included”. It wasn’t until we actually arrived at Abu Simbel that we were positive that tickets were indeed included. All-in-all a great experience, but the VIATOUR site could use a little tweaking.

Exceptional Guide Who Made Luxor Come Alive
One of the best tour guides I have ever encountered in my travels. Ayman was extremely friendly, professional, and deeply knowledgeable not only about the monuments and temples we visited in Luxor, but about history in general as well. You could truly feel his passion and experience throughout the entire tour.
What stood out even more was his honesty and genuine care for us as visitors. He warned us about common tourist scams, gave useful local advice, and made sure we felt comfortable and safe during the whole experience. Thanks to him, Luxor felt much more authentic and enjoyable rather than just another tourist destination.
He transformed the experience from simply “seeing monuments” into actually understanding the civilization, culture, and stories behind them. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Luxor who wants a memorable and trustworthy guide.

Amazing day touring the East and West Bank
Truly enjoyed the tour! Our tour guide delivered the information seamlessly and with ease! We learned so much and were astounded by some of the stories he shared! Our tour guide was both sharp and knowledgeable. We also enjoyed the food, it was very delicious! We also had an amazing driver!

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!

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. 🙂
