Ancient Egypt Brought to Life by Leila
We had an unforgettable experience on our tour from Hurghada to Luxor and the Valley of the Kings! The trip was perfectly organized, and what truly made it exceptional was our guide, Leila.
Her incredible knowledge of ancient Egyptian history brought every site to life, from the majestic Karnak Temple to the awe-inspiring tombs in the Valley of the Kings. She explained everything in a way that was engaging and easy to understand, making the tour both educational and enjoyable. Leila's professionalism and warm personality ensured everyone felt comfortable and taken care of throughout the day.
This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime journey, and we highly recommend it to anyone visiting Egypt!

Luxor in the heart
Luxor day trip by van from Marsa Alam.
Must-see Luxor excursion and Book Tour Egypt organization impeccable.
At 70€ per person, exactly half of the 140€ per person proposed by the village, we had an unforgettable experience.
At the appointed time a car was waiting for us at the exit of the resort. The driver accompanied us to Safaga (after 2 hours of travel) where we joined another group of tourists. By van we then arrived in Luxor after about 4h.
We travelled safely and were followed from the moment we left the resort to the moment we were escorted back.
Our native guide, who spoke perfect Italian, Ahmed, was a real find. Nice, intelligent, funny, a really smart person who made this day unforgettable.
The stops of the visit were the canonical ones planned in Luxor (Temple of Karnak, Valley of the Kings
(3 Royal Tombs), the colossus of Memnon and the Temple of
Hatdshepsut).
Thanks for everything to the whole team, especially to Asmaa, Rana and especially to the fantastic Ahmed!

An unforgettable day
Day trip to Luxor from Marsa Alam .
Beautifully arranged. They picked us up very early in the morning and took us to Luxor where we found the guide who accompanied us throughout the day. We visited the Karnak temple, then crossed the Nile by boat. We had lunch and went to visit the valley of the Kings, the tombs of the pharaohs, the temple of Hatshepsut and the behemoths of Memnon. All wonderful

Excellent
We would like to thank you very much for the smooth operation. Almost a month ago we booked two trips through this website, one day from Hurghada to Luxor, the other to Cairo. It was an unforgettable experience! The guides were phenomenal and really tried to explain everything to us. I was particularly impressed by the guide Amel, she imparted a lot of knowledge to us and was always there for us. Thanks to the agency, it has managed to meet all our expectations and even more. We would always book through this site and can only recommend it

Excellent Day Trip to Luxor - Well Organised and Great Guide
We had an amazing day trip to Luxor with Book Tour Egypt, booked through TripAdvisor. It was incredible value for money.
The day started with a 5am pickup from our hotel (small extra fee for hotel pickup, which is normal in Egypt). The mini-van was comfortable, and our two drivers were friendly and professional. They made two toilet stops during the journey, and we could safely leave our bags in the van throughout the day.
Our group split into English and French speaking (4 people each). Our English guide, Salaam, was exceptional - knowledgeable, theatrical, and brought the ancient sites to life with his storytelling. He even taught me some Arabic phrases! When one guest had trouble with a persistent vendor, Salaam handled it professionally.
Sites visited:
- Karnak Temple: Incredible but busy. Still got great photos
- Valley of the Kings: Amazing experience. Visited 3 tombs (skipped Tutankhamun's tomb and didn't feel we missed out)
- Temple of Hatshepsut: Restored but interesting
- Nile boat trip (card payment accepted)
The included lunch was a good buffet with plenty of choices (drinks extra). We also stopped at a pottery/souvenir shop but felt no pressure to buy anything.
The pace was quick (about an hour per site) and sometimes felt rushed, but understandable given how much there is to see.
Tips for future travelers:
- Get a good night's sleep before - if you struggle sleeping on buses, bring a travel neck pillow
- Bring plenty of sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen) - Luxor is especially hot!
- Plenty of toilet opportunities throughout the day
- Water provided
- No passport was needed. Take it with you in case but don’t worry too much if you forget. Take a picture on your phone just in case.
- Can leave bags safely in van
- Tip your drivers and tour guides well if you are happy with the service as is the custom in Egypt
Return time was 8:45pm - a long but incredibly worthwhile day. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Egypt!

Best outing
So I regretted not taking all my excursions with them because they are top. A professional and caring agency that only takes into account the well-being of its client, attentive and especially reachable at any time, thanks to the teams who were behind the phone on watsap and thanks to the teams that were put at our disposal during the day in Luxor. You can go with your eyes closed

AMAZING
Unique experience, made even more beautiful by our Italian guide Ragab (I don't know if it's spelled that way). He was kind and very nice, if you are Italian ask for him at the agency Book Tour Egypt. Everything really great! Thank you so much!!
