A thoughtfully curated Luxor Tour - Highly Recommended

Parul_P, Dec 2025

We had a wonderful experience on this tour and would happily recommend it. We were picked up from our hotel in Sahl Hasheesh exactly on time at 4:45 a.m., which set a very positive tone for the day. Our guide Mohamed and driver Issac were both friendly, professional, and respectful. Mohamed shared valuable and interesting information and historical facts throughout the tour, while also giving us enough free time at each site to explore on our own, take photographs, and simply enjoy the monuments at our own pace. All admission fee were taken care of and we only had to pay for the additional visit to the Tut Ankh Amun Tomb in the Valley of Kings. The lunch on the Nile River boat was a lovely highlight of the day. It was a very pleasant experience, and our request for vegetarian and seafood-only food was well understood and handled thoughtfully. We also really appreciated that our request to skip any commercial shopping stops was fully respected, allowing us to focus entirely on the historical sites. The day felt very comfortable and well paced, and we were dropped back at our hotel around 7 p.m. as planned. Overall, a smooth, enriching, and very enjoyable day. Thank you to the team for a memorable experience. We wish you all the best for all your upcoming tours.

Amazing day visiting the sights of Luxor

denise_s, Mar 2025

Amazing day visiting the sights of Luxor. We did a private tour which worked perfectly. We were picked up from our hotel in a private car which meant we could get to the sights quicker than on a coach trip. I especially enjoyed the Egyptian lunch on a private boat on the Nile and visiting Karnak. The whole trip was very well organised. It is an early start and a long hot day but is definitely worth it.

The BEST tour ever!

Stephanie_N, Jan 2025

The tour was simply amazing. We chose what we wanted to do and when throughout the day - Mohammed was so enthusiastic and extremely knowledgable and passionate about literally everything, ancient history right through to today, we asked so many questions and he knew absolutely everything. I genuinely cannot recommend this tour highly enough, we will see you next time Mohammed!

Hurghada to Luxor private tour

SALLY_P, Aug 2023

We booked this tour as two families of four and traveled from Hurghada to Luxor in July 2023. The tour was professionally organised with good communication throughout. I booked this tour as I have been to Valley of the Kings before and was keen to arrive in the morning before the heat of the day and the crowds before moving onto Karnak in the afternoon. Mohammed was happy to accommodate this request, which meant that both sites were almost empty as the other tour parties follow the opposite itinerary and I would recommend doing the tour this way round as a result. Mohammed is an excellent guide. He knows when to provide information and when to leave you to explore on your own. He gave enough detail to interest the adults without boring the teenagers, which is quite a skill. We have done lots of tours around the world and this was one of the best.

A wonderful day, worth paying extra for small group l

Alannah_E, Jan 2023

Wow we had an amazing day! We were met promptly at the agreed upon time in a clean, modern minicoach with our guide and took a 3 and half hour ish trip to Luxor. Paying a little extra for a small group meant we were ahead of the crowds and could control the pace of our day. Our guide & drivers was incredible & knowledgeable. We felt very safe. While we enjoyed seeing everything Luxor had to offer, it was the little extras that have made the day more memorable, we loved taking the short Nile River crossing and eating a traditional Egyptian lunch with our guide. Drinks were extra at 60le or 2eu each. We paid 300le (must be Egyptian currency) extra p.p. for Tutankhamuns tomb at the Valley of the Kings which we felt was worth it as it was extremely vibrant. Many thanks everyone for a memorable day!
