Hilarious… a fun day out
Ahmed and Said were great! very accommodating, he picked us up on time and set off stopping briefly to let us watch the sunset breakfast. We arrived at our hotel late the night before and therefore the tour was for just us as a small group.
Our first stop was Temple of Karnak. We met ‘Said’ our tour guide and Egyptologist. He was very knowledgeable. We then had lunch at a restaurant on the Nile. This was buffet was a wide variety suitable for a friend who is vegetarian. Lunch was followed by a boat trip on the Nile and on to Valley of the Kings. We went into three temples, the longest, the steepest and the most colourful. we then journeyed to temple of hatshepsut. On the return journey Ahmed stopped to get us sugar cane juice and we had a giggle watching him get bananas from a truck.
Cannot fault Said or Ahmed enough. They were both very knowledgable, accommodating and well mannered. Highly recommend this trip!
We are booked to go to dolphin house and cairo with the same company!

Good day/disaster on the way back
I had written this before I had to break my rating after an altercation with the driver because I had not put 5 stars on TripAdvisor:"For my second trip to Egypt with friends and family (the first being alone with my wife) we decided to repeat the experience with Ramashka tour for our excursion to Luxor. We started our second experience with a small problem with TripAdvisor which did not display the French guide option we had then tick the English guide box (at worst I would have translated to the family if there was a problem for that) however having received confirmation of departure time, we were able to arrange this problem on WhatsApp, they were very responsive and they were able to find us a guide in French during the day. The bus driver was a very kind man, he was very friendly and we were able to get to the site first thanks to his slightly sporty driving we would say. But the game was worth it there is nothing worse than starting your day with a hama of tourists and vendors without being able to make suitable photos for your small personal album. The French guide (Mohammed) was friendly so he takes the time to explain everything during the bus ride and in front of the historical sites of Luxor. A little downside for him that said it was a bit of a race between buildings and unfortunately my mom who has difficulty walking often found herself rushing to get to where it was necessary (obviously a little less rush to get out of the stonemason shop) But overall I'm quite happy about the Service who was able to solve a problem and propose a solution within a few hours after receiving the confirmation of departure, the bus air conditioned with very cold drinks, a small chocolate croissant and cold water all day. I obviously recommend this Service having done it twice with two different French guide unfortunately my preference remains for Farid with whom the current passed better even if Mohammed is really nice too!"
The rating was 4 stars because there was a small downside a 5 stars = perfect all day and if there is a problem they don't have control
Anyway...
The driver harassed me on the road to get a review on TripAdvisor I did and when he saw 4 stars he became in a slaughtering mood and started driving at far too fast speeds on roads not planned for such a speed and asked me to delete my review so that it would be better referenced on the platform. I would have left it at that if by dropping us off in front of our hotel, he hadn't started like crazy (back door of the bus open and me with one foot on a step) while I wished him a good night anyway. He lost my confidence for a third trip in the future and I would not recommend him to anyone for that reason
PS: Getting upset about the rating I left him, he said he didn't want to work with people who speak French anymore.

An extraordinary day
An excellent day despite the phenomenal heat, departure from the hotel and super driver, arrived in Luxor to visit almost alone ok we left early but at the same time fortunately given the weather...
The day was spent with a guide who gave us max details about all our visits very kind and very attentive...
A big thank you with amazed eyes and beautiful memories....
Thank you 🙏

Excellent day to Luxor
If you want to visit Luxor, contact Ramashka Tours, with M.Ahmed. He picked up us in the hotel on time and I said we would be the first to arrive to Luxor. And indeed we did...M.Ahmed made everything for our confort during all traject. The van is comfortable with internet Wi-Fi, air conditioning and some free refreshing drinks.
We had a guide, M.Said, excellent guide...knowledge about history of Luxor, Karnak, Valley of the Kings...all 6 stars! Even before 19h we were.back in our hotel. I strongly rrecommend it.

Unforgetable cultural and attentive day
Starting the day with the kind Ahmed, our driver, was a pleasure. Always prepared, taking care of us (me and my husband) and explaining us what we were seing around. He promised we would be the first on Karnak temple and we were!!
Then we met our personal guide, Said, who is truly an expert in the field! His explanations and answers in English are very clear, thorough and detailed. Also had the patience to wait for us while we were taking some extra photos.
We recommend them without a doubt for everyone who is interested on this amazing experience!

Fab. Hot but well looked after by Said and Ahmed
Was fantastic to spend the day with Ahmed and Said, arrived in time, very good communication prior to trip. Very informative Said answered everything we asked about during the trip. water, orange,,tea and snacks on hand all day, Beat the rush by going in the private tour and got some fab photos. Lovely boat trip down the nile for a bit extra, well worth it
