Luxor Day Trip
Enjoyable day trip to Luxor, to learn more about the city’s ancient history. Samira (Our Tour Guide) did a great job talking through said history and recommending various sites to visit. Her knowledge was invaluable and added immensely to the trip.

Private trip to Luxor with Legacy Tours.
I've booked a last minute day trip from Sahl Hashhes to Luxor. It was a privatectour for me and my 15-year old daughter and the whole experience from start to finish was flawless!
They've emailed conformation within a minutes and also confirmed all the arrangements via WhatsApp.
It was an early start at 5am and driver Ahmed was waiting for us at the reception. He provided refreshments (cold drinks and snacks) and we also had two stops during our 4-hour lobg journey. Vehicle was clean and comfortable, with working AC.
Our tour-gide Samira met us at Luxor and she was amazing! Very personable, knowledgeable, patient and kind. She was happy to listen to our preferences and make amendments to planned tour itinerary. Her knowledge and passion for Egyptian history is admirable.
She also patiently waited for use while we were feeding homeless puppies and taking photographs.
Historical sights such as Karnak Temple, Hatshepsut Temple, Valley of Kings, Tumb of Tutankhamun are simply breathtaking, definitely worth the long journey and money.
We had a lunch at traditional Egyptian restaurant and food was very fresh and tasty. Lunch included in the price of tour, only had to pay for uour drinks. Boat trip down tbe river Nile was an nice touch and welcome break in today's hot weather!
Overall I am very impressed how organised and professional Legacy Tours are. We are planning to return to Egypt in the future and will definitely use their services again.

AMAZING overview of ancient Egypt!! Truly amazing!
I took my mother and I to Luxor and had the most amazing and detailed explanation of ancient Egypt!!! Professor Ahmed Elsisi was the guide and Egyptologist in Luxor, and took us through easy to understand steps of how the Ancient world worked... which was truly fascinating. Each story painted the picture vividly and we couldn't be more pleased. If you are lucky enough to get him - you will NOT be disappointed!!....I would also like to say the car that picked us up was lovely - air conditioned, drivers were polite, very attentive, stopped half way for a toilet and snack break and Hamada in particular even gifted me local mangos which is amazing... also upon our request Hamada stopped as we saw it on the way back. Everyone today was super attentive. The only con I'd say is June is very hot but don't let this put you off!!! Just take LOTS of water with you and be prepared for a lot of walking. Also even though the shops will try to sell, just be tactful and only get what you want. We should try to support the tourism economy so be fair when bargaining with locals - they need the money and we want the souvenirs! :) Overall, Egyptians - both ancient and current are absolutely so amazing!!! Thank you to the tour group again for a welcoming and lovely arrangement of day!
Also.... there is not ONE photo online or through any egypt based documentary that does the temples justice. When you are there in real life there is so much for the eye to see. You will be blown away. Seeing is believing!

Wonderful tour to Luxor
The day trip to Luxor with Legacy Tours was a very pleasant experience. Our driver Said was more than punctual for our 5am pickup at our hotel. He drove safely and comfortably showing great courtesy at every possible moment.
In Luxor, we met our guide, Mark Samir, an egyptologist. He was very keen on giving us as much information on the visited sites as possible (preferably in the shade) and even took a ton of pictures and videos for us. He was very kind and made our trip comfortable despite the heat.
Lunch was delicious and we got plenty of water throughout the day.
We arrived back in Hurghada shortly after 8pm.
Overall, we would recommend this tour!

Alles in allem ein sehr guter Tag
Früher Start 5 Uhr lange Fahrt durch die Wüste in schönem klimatisiertem Auto. Treffen mit unserem Guide Samira in Luxor. Dann ging es los. Samira war sehr sachkundig. Im Tal der Könige besuchten fünf Gräber ( 2 mussten extra für wie angekündigt £ 27 für zwei Erwachsene bezahlen, aber es lohnt sich, dass es eine Kredit- oder Debitkarte benötigt, um kein Bargeld zu bezahlen) . Samira ging in unserem Tempo und erklärte, wie wir gingen. Das Essen war schön und lecker. Ein kleines Dankeschön an Samira und beide Fahrer.
Interessanter Verkehr, gelinde gesagt.

Private Luxor day tour from Hurghada
We did a private tour of Luxor at the end of May with a 2 and 4 year old. I was a bit apprehensive about taking the boys on this trip, with them being so young, but it was an amazing day.
It was a long, hot day, but with plenty of water, sun hats, sun cream and stopping regularly for breaks, it was absolutely fine.
Our tour guide was incredible. She was so friendly and welcoming and very knowledgeable. She was great with the boys and just put us instantly at ease.
We could take things at our own pace as it was a private tour. We were never made to feel rushed.
Our driver was great as well. He took us everywhere and nothing was too much trouble.
I would highly recommend this company and this tour of Luxor. A trip we will never forget. Thank you :D

Amazing Luxor trip
Unbelievable trip even though it was quite hot. Abdul, our guide, was the best, super informative. We had 2 drivers because it was a 4 hour drive each way so they took turns. All of the attractions were excellent. Karnak was the highlight.

À faire absolument
J’ai visité Louxor en excursion privée avec le chauffeur Bomba et le guide Ismail. Dès le début, la communication avec l’agence a été excellente : ils ont toujours été réactifs et disponibles pour répondre à mes questions avant la réservation. L’organisation a été au top !
Même si la montgolfière a été annulée à cause des conditions météorologiques, une alternative a été trouvée rapidement.
Je remercie Bomba pour sa gentillesse et son professionnalisme : j’ai pu me reposer en toute tranquillité pendant le trajet — et l’avoir comme “bodyguard” haha !
Un grand merci également à Ismail, mon guide francophone, pour ses explications claires et passionnantes sur l’histoire de l’Égypte et des temples. Il a été très à l’écoute, et même photographe à ses heures !
J’ai adoré cette journée, pleine de beaux souvenirs, et surtout, j’ai été parfaitement accompagnée tout au long de l’excursion. Merci à Bomba et Ismail pour cette belle expérience !

Fantastic day trip!
Fantastic day trip from Hurghada to Luxor with Ahmed the driver and Ahmed El Sisi our guide for the day. It’s an early 5am start but Ahmed arrived on time and we began the drive. It’s a long way but there are a couple of stops where you can buy drinks, snacks and use the facilities. We started at the valley of the kings, then the temple of hapshetsut followed by the collossi of memnon with a stop at the artists alabaster workshop in between before a buffet lunch. After this we jumped on to a felucca for a scenic trip along the Nile and returned to finally visit the habou temple which was an impressive site to behold. Ahmed the guide was extremely personable, knowledgeable and full of insight, bringing history to life and describing the many statues, glyphs and carvings in great detail. After this we were on our way back to the hotel and were able to reflect on a great day which we would absolutely recommend.
Overall, the day was fantastic. If we were going to over any comments for continuous improvement or for those partaking: the car did smell a little of petrol at first which was a bit off putting at 5am but Ahmed our driver soon sorted and he also provided lots of drinks throughout the day. The cleanliness of toilets were variable with some not as clean or well equipped as others so use at your discretion. We also tipped a lot as we went round the sites so either have tips ready or be prepared to say no with no shame.
Thanks again guys!

Fantastischer Tagesausflug
Fantastischer Tagesausflug von Hurghada nach Luxor mit Ahmed dem Fahrer und Ahmed El Sisi unserem Guide für den Tag. Es ist ein früher Start um 5 Uhr, aber Ahmed kam pünktlich an und wir begannen die Fahrt. Es ist ein langer Weg, aber es gibt ein paar Haltestellen, wo Sie Getränke, Snacks kaufen und die Einrichtungen nutzen können. Wir starteten im Tal der Könige, dann im Tempel der Hapshetsut, gefolgt vom Memnon-Colloss mit einem Zwischenstopp in der Künstlerwerkstatt Alabaster vor einem Mittagsbuffet. Danach sprangen wir zu einer Feluca für eine malerische Reise entlang des Nils und kehrten zurück, um schließlich den Habou-Tempel zu besuchen, der eine beeindruckende Stätte war. Ahmed der Führer war äußerst sympathisch, kenntnisreich und voller Einsicht, erweckte die Geschichte zum Leben und beschrieb die vielen Statuen, Glyphen und Schnitzereien sehr detailliert. Danach waren wir auf dem Rückweg zum Hotel und konnten uns einen tollen Tag überlegen, den wir unbedingt weiterempfehlen würden.
Insgesamt war der Tag fantastisch. Wenn wir irgendwelche Kommentare zur kontinuierlichen Verbesserung oder für diejenigen, die teilnehmen, durchgehen würden: das Auto roch zuerst ein wenig nach Benzin, das um 5 Uhr morgens etwas abgestellt war, aber Ahmed, unser Fahrer, sortierte sich bald und er sorgte auch für viele Getränke über den Tag. Die Sauberkeit der Toiletten war variabel, wobei einige nicht so sauber oder gut ausgestattet waren wie andere, also nutzen Sie nach eigenem Ermessen. Wir haben auch viel Trinkgeld gegeben, als wir die Seiten besucht haben, also entweder Tipps bereit haben oder bereit sein, ohne Scham nein zu sagen.
Danke nochmal Leute!
