A Wonderful Excursion to Luxor
Review of Book Tour Egypt
I joined a trip to Luxor organized by Book Tour Egypt, and overall, it was a very positive experience. Our guide, Laila, was excellent and extremely knowledgeable. I especially appreciated the fact that our group was small, which created a relaxed and personal atmosphere.
The journey from Hurghada to Luxor was quite an experience. The only minor challenge was the bus transfer in Hurghada, where I had to switch to a bus with mostly Polish passengers. Because of this, a lot of the information was given in Polish, which I couldn’t understand. However, this didn’t bother me in the end, as our guide Laila made sure I received all the necessary information later.
One of the highlights of the trip was the short cruise on the Nile, which Laila organized for us for just 10 euros. We crossed from the East Bank to the West Bank, and the views were absolutely stunning. It was a unique and unforgettable experience!
All in all, the trip was well-organized, and everything went smoothly. A big thank you to Book Tour Egypt and our wonderful guide! 😊🙏

Valley of the Kings in Luxor by plane
My son and I were on holiday in Sharm el Sheik and wanted to go to Luxor in one day to see the Valley of the Kings, some tombs and the Karnak Temple. We also wanted to see the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut. For this we booked the excursion package from Book Tour Egypt. We flew from Sharm el Sheik to Luxor early in the morning and were met by our tour guide who spoke very good German. Since we were the only German guests, we were alone with the tour guide. In addition to all the information about Egypt's past, we were able to ask lots of questions, all of which were answered very professionally. The whole day was perfectly organised and we saw and learned a lot. We were hardly bothered by all the vendors either, as our group was very small. We can highly recommend this excursion with Book Tour Egypt to everyone.

Gut!
Wir waren zu acht in unserer kleinen Gruppe. Das war angenehm. Die Abholung verlief reibungslos um 4:40 morgens. Die Fahrt war angenehm mit einer Pause, insgesamt ca. 4,5h in eine Richtung. Unser Guide war sehr nett und freundlich und hat kurz etwas zu Tempeln/Begräbnissen erzählt und danach hatten wir Zeit zum Anschauen. Die Tour war interessant. Wünschenswert wäre es aber, beim Anschauen von Sehenswürdigkeiten vom Guide begleitet zu werden und so mehr Informationen über die Geschichte von Ägypten, über die Bedeutung von Schriften in den Begräbnissen zu erhalten. Aber dafür ist die Zeit bei der Fülle an Stationen zu knapp. Im Ganzen kann ich die Tour weiterempfehlen.

Luxor from Hurghada by coach is small group during visits
Departure from Hurghada by bus to Luxor, arriving in the late morning for traffic due to high season. In Luxor there was a guide waiting for us and took us to the Valley of Kings, temple of hatshepsut, Mennon, lunch and then the temples of Karnak. Beautiful tombs and especially the Karnak complex. The guide was very good and explained everything very well. For the short time we did a bit of running, but the driving was excellent

Excellent
We left Marsa Alam. The journey is long but thanks to the attention of the drivers we found ourselves very well. They are very attentive to the needs of customers, they provide water during the trip and the lunch is really good! They are punctual ... and the places we visited namely Luxor the Valley of the Kings and two very important Temples are lovely! The Mido guide was really good at explaining everything in detail, a really prepared Egyptologist! Visit that without them we could never have done! I would still choose them and for this I recommend them!

Luxor from Soma bay Hurghada
Day trip to Luxor was excellent!
From Soma bay Hurghada, BTE organized a taxi pickup and directly took us to Luxor. All journeys were just as we were informed and no time delays.
As we booked this tour one day before, we checked several travel agencies and we confirmed that BTE is best for the price and custom-made services.

Day trip to Luxor
This trip was a phenomenal experience overall. The journey from Hurghada is around 4 hours drive however the drivers were amazing and stopped for toilet breaks.
Our tour guide Layla was amazing and very knowledgable. She engaged all ages throughout the tour and answered all questions we had.
The lunch was ok however we are fussy eaters but they were happy to provide chips and pasta.
Visiting the tombs and the temples were fantastic and the trip down the Nile was fabulous and well worth the extra £10 per person.
The alabaster factory was interesting to see and lovely to buy trinkets in.
Overall a fantastic day and it has made my trip to Egypt well worth it.

One day in Luxor
Great one-day trip to Luxor from Hurghada to see all the main sights, with our excellent English-speaking guide Islam. Booked directly with the tour operator FTS rather than Viator…
