The Best Tour We Had in Egypt – Salwa Was Amazing!” 🇪🇬⭐
We had an absolutely amazing experience in Luxor with our guide, Salwa! We have already taken other tours in Giza and Cairo during our trip, but I can genuinely say that this was the best tour we’ve had in Egypt so far.
Salwa was incredibly knowledgeable about Egyptian history and explained everything in such an interesting way. She took us through both the West Bank and East Bank, including the beautiful Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut and so many other incredible places.
She also went out of her way to help us with things that weren’t necessarily part of the tour. She took us to see Egyptian oils, helped us while we were looking for a nice gold chain, and at the end took us to see how the local stone pieces are made. Those extra experiences made the day feel much more personal and special.
I honestly could have stayed there asking Salwa questions about Egyptian history for another five hours 😂 but unfortunately, I think she eventually needed to go home!
A huge thank you to Salwa for her knowledge, patience, kindness, and for making our time in Luxor so memorable. And a special thank you to our driver as well for taking such good care of us throughout the entire day.
If you are visiting Luxor, I highly recommend Salwa. She made us appreciate Egyptian history even more! 🇪🇬❤️

Perfect tour
We loved the tour! Our guide, Salwa, was incredibly knowledgeable. She studied Egyptology in Cairo and was able to tell us so many fascinating things about all the different sites. We had e private tour which meant Salwa was able to adjust the tour to our needs and wishes.

MUST DO!!
Our experience was truly exceptional from beginning to end. Salwa was an outstanding guide—warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient. She didn’t just show us the sights; she taught us so many fascinating things along the way, making the entire journey both educational and enjoyable. What we appreciated most was the ample time she gave us to explore at our own pace, ensuring we never felt rushed and could fully immerse ourselves in each moment.
Our driver, Abdul Abu, was equally wonderful. He was courteous, attentive, and made the journey comfortable throughout. His calm driving and friendly nature added an extra layer of ease to the day.
The food provided was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavourful, and a highlight in itself. It complemented the experience perfectly and showcased the region’s culinary richness.
Overall, the entire experience exceeded our expectations. From the hospitality to the guiding, the transportation, and the food, every detail was thoughtfully handled. We left feeling enriched, well cared for, and eager to return. Highly recommended.

Großartige Tour
Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit mit Ahmed und haben eine Menge über die Geschichte hier gelernt. Er war sehr sachkundig und hilfsbereit und hat dazu beigetragen, unsere Tour zu optimieren. Unser Fahrer war auch großartig, ich würde diese Tour definitiv weiterempfehlen.

Good Driving, Very Pushy Driver & Commission Lunch Spot
Decent service, but the driver’s pushy behavior was exhausting.
The transfer service itself was so reliable, and the vehicle was clean, spacious, and well-air-conditioned with smooth, safe driving. But the driver was a very poor fit for us.
From the first 5 minutes, he maintained an overwhelming level of high energy and constantly forced us to read old reviews from past Japanese clients I know we're from Japan so expecting a reaction every time.
Since we only hired a driver—not a full tour guide—we just wanted basic updates on the locations, making the constant forced conversation mentally draining.
The biggest issue was lunchtime. Around 1:00 PM, we asked him to recommend a local lunch spot. In Luxor where a delicious meal usually costs around 200EGP whex we visited but he took us to an overpriced venue with no set menus, leaving us with an unexpected extra bill of nearly 1800 EGP for two people (paid by card). Meanwhile, the driver appeared to be getting his meal for free on commission.
Later, he insisted on taking us to an souvenir shop promising we didn’t have to buy anything. Having lost all trust in his recommendations by then, we refused and asked to be taken straight back to our hotel.
At drop-off, I declined to leave a review on the spot, but the driver (Abdrboo) repeatedly pressured my husband with an aggressive, intimidating demeanor to leave a positive Google review specifically mentioning his name.
While the company's baseline service is fine, your experience will heavily depend on driver compatibility. If you prefer a quiet, low-pressure ride without aggressive upselling or over-the-top self-promotion, this particular driver might not be for you.

Sherine war eine erstaunliche...
Sherine war eine erstaunliche Reiseleiterin und hat dieses Erlebnis wirklich spektakulär gemacht. Sie hatte eine großartige Balance zwischen dem Erklären wichtiger Informationen und dem Geben von Zeit, damit wir uns alleine umsehen konnten. Es war eine großartige Reiseroute und ich würde diese Tour jedem wärmstens empfehlen!
