18 hr day tour luxor
Very easy pickup. All drivers arrived before time scheduled, messaged via WhatsApp. Excellent way to get around, tour guide was great, very friendly. Makes for a very long day, approximately 18 hours total with transfers. Valley of Kings and Karnak temple were amazing. Things that need skipped: they build in time at Alabaster shop and they wanted to go to papyrus shop which we didn't want to do. Mostly a sales pitch but at least they weren't pushy. They have nothing with prices and when you ask they give you a good look over before inventing a price, so I guess if you want to buy something come looking pretty poor. We didn't buy anything. They want to reroute your lunch to a cafe on the Nile with little boat ride. We did it basically because the other option was a car ride to east side of Nile. They take you down the Nile was a bit then drop you off at the restaurant, eat then get back on the boat. Food was OK, nothing special and probably a bit too much (40USD) but our only chance to really be on the Nile with our schedule so whatever. But clearly not building that in before and kind of throwing it at you. We did this with my wife 19 weeks pregnant probably not the best idea it was a very hard day lots of walking but Valley of Kings was amazing. We didn't buy extra tombs only did the included wanted to see more but in the end glad we didn't it would have been way too much walking for her. She was exhausted by the end. But really amazing places to see, and personal car was nice so we could leave early or whenever not waiting on others. The guide did a pretty good job keeping street vendors away. Vendors are WAY too pushy. Honestly they would probably sell more if they didn't harass people so badly, completely intolerable. Bring a hat it's incredibly hot. Bring water and sunscreen. Seeing the history was great, driver was great. The guide web and brought all the tickets and explained cost of any additional things offered at each site with the prices for extra and then let you decide so that was nice. Not having to drive yourself and deal with talking to all the security as you move around was very helpful.

Great, loved it!
Tour was great, Dina was the best tour guide I’ve ever had. We got picked up at our Airbnb by a driver, flew to Luxor, and met with outlet guide Dina at the airport. We were driven by a nice man in an ac cooled van through all the sites and then returned to airport 2 hours before flight. All went well and we were very satisfied with the tour overall.
We opted for the bot ride to the island for lunch and it was a great decision, authentic food and small village was a treat!

This is the way to go
Traveling in a new country can sometimes be stressful, especially when you are traveling out of an unfamiliar airport. All of our concerns were alleviated from the moment we were picked up at our hotel. Our day started extremely early (430 am) but our driver Ahmed met us on time and was very courteous and friendly during our drive to the airport.
Upon arrival in Luxor, Dina was waiting and greeted us with a warm smile. She made us feel welcome and comfortable instantly. She had our day planned out and knew the best places to go based on the time of day, the weather and most importantly, how to avoid the larger crowds of tourists.
She patiently waited for us as we took pictures and explored the various locations and even joined us for lunch at an amazing location on the Nile. One of the best parts of this trip was sitting down for a meal and learning about her life, her job, and her culture and sharing with her the same about us.
At the end of our long day she took us to the airport and made sure everything was in place for us for our departure back to Cairo. When we landed, Ahmed was there waiting for us and seemed genuinely excited to hear all about our trip.
This was the perfect, all-inclusive experience for anyone who wants to experience the incredible history of Luxor. I highly recommend this tour and most especially, ask for Dina. She is a one-of-a-kind guide and a genuinely caring person. We look forward to coming back and seeing her again.

Trip of a lifetime
Last weekend we visited Cairo and Luxor. The trip was with my partner and his two teenage daughters. We were picked up from the airport and our guide Ramon was excellent- providing a running commentary and taking us to the Valley of The Kings amongst other key sites. The advice he provided was clear and informative and we did not feel under any pressure to do anything we didn’t want to. The taxi was thankfully air conditioned and the driver was lovely.
We saw everything we wanted to and Ramon also fitted in an additional boat trip to Banana Island (additional cost). The restaurant on the island was fine- rustic, but we were not that keen on the zoo visit. Everything is an experience though!!

Amazing day trip to Luxor from Cairo
Everything was smooth from the time we landed and got picked up by Mr. Hani. Our tour guide Remon was great, and very knowledgeable of Egyptian history. I highly recommend this tour for anyone that wants to explore Luxor in a day as it shows you the highlights of the city. We felt very welcomed and safe all the time with Remon. Mr. Hani, who was our designated driver was always waiting for us on time and never had to wait. It was a great experience. Our guide, Remon, took many pictures for us so we have great memories of these wonderful places. The lunch buffet was delicious with many options to choose from. Highly recommend this company for your tours in Egypt.

Fantastic tour (especially the guide) in Luxor!
Dina was an amazing tour guide! She was knowledgeable, kind, and considerate. We had our 13 year old son with us who was interested the entire time. Dina even suggested somewhere for lunch that was great!
I definitely recommend this tour!

Amazing memories in Luxor
My wife and I had the BEST experience with you today! Your encyclopedic knowledge of the city, culture and Egyptian history was astounding… We really appreciated how you let us go at our own pace, whether we wanted to experience certain sights quickly, or take our very slow time in other places.
Our driver was a pleasure to be with as well. He was always ready with the car, keeping it cool and running with great parking locations and he had a very helpful attitude. He also helped make us feel safe .
We feel very lucky that you were our tour guide and we cannot thank you enough for spending your day with us and giving us memories that will last for our entire lifetime.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, and bless you both!

Awesome
Miachael and George were so fun, it was like hanging out with friends for the day. Miachael is so knowledgeable about Egyptian history that he could answer any of my thousands of questions. As a single woman traveling on her own, I felt so safe and looked after. I can't wait to come visit again!

Luxor in One Day!
We had a nice one day tour of Luxor including the Valley of the Kings, Karnak, and Luxor from Cairo with Hesham Egypt. Had a bit of a rough start with our driver arriving over 30 minutes late to pick us up from our hotel and having to rush through the airport, but we made our flight and Remon was waiting for us at the Luxor airport. Remon was very knowledgeable about the region and history of all the places we visited. The sites were incredible and we had a really great day! Karnak was by far our favorite with so much of it preserved. Communication with Hesham was good, though we got pushed repeatedly to fill out a review before the tour was even over, which was irritating. If you only have a day, this tour was a great way to see the key sites!
