This tour is worth doing but go early.
Ammar is a nice person to share part of your day with, he’s knowledgeable and easy going. We saw the key sites and he looked for ways to avoid the crowds whilst giving us plenty of facts.
His English is good and we were able to chat about many things.

Creating memories in Luxor
We had a wonderful time with our guide Ahmed Abdulteif. He was very knowledgeable and shared many information about Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple and Mamnon. We very much enjoyed our halfday tour. It was very relaxed so that we had enough time to visit everything and take pictures. The car was modern and clean. The driver Ahmed was reliable and on time. Thank you very much for this poster experience!

Perfect half day tour of Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut and Colossus of Memnon
We wanted to see the main highlights of the Valley of the Kings and this tour seemed to fit our requirements. I was not wrong.
Ahmed, our guide and Abdul our driver were excellent from the start.
Ahmed gave us some interesting history of the site and the tombs on our way, guided us expertly to each of the tombs we signed up to see and gave us a really good idea of the pharaoh and what the main points are depicted in the tombs, as well as information about the surrounding tombs still under excavation.
We explored each tomb ourselves, knew what to look for and enjoyed taking our time. We were not rushed, we had no time limits set on us to get back and move on. Other people around us were panicking as they only had 5 minutes to see the tomb and get back to their guide!!
We then moved on to the tomb of Hatshepsut, stopping along the way to see an artisan factory producing alabaster and marble goods, which was really interesting. We were not hassled or pressured to buy anything which was nice!
Again Ahmed gave us lots of information about Hatshepsut and her dynasty and we explored each tomb the rest of the tomb which was very different from the other Pharaohs.
Our final stop was at Colossus of Memnon, which was a brief stop but still interesting.
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour - perfect balance of history, information and awe inspiring relics. I can’t recommend both Ahmed and Abdul enough - they make a great team!

Would highly recommend Ammar for anyone wanting a knowledgeable and friendly guide.
Had a brilliant trip with Ammar yesterday. Organisation was great with Ammar picking us up on time in the hotel lobby, with a modern taxi and friendly driver.
We went straight to the sites and Ammar had the tickets ready so we were able to skip the ques. At the site Ammar suggested the best tombs to visit and gave an overview to some history of the region and the other sites we visited.
Would highly recommend Ammar for anyone wanting a knowledgeable and friendly guide.

Excellent experience!
Nice tour with lots to see. Recommend going early in the morning for least crowd, we went at 6:30 and it was perfect. We used 4 hours. Azab was our guide and he did brilliant. He was friendly and happy to answer any questions we had. Highly recommend him.

Eine durchdachte und tiefgreifende historische Erfahrung
Unser Führer Muhammad war sehr geschichtskundig und beantwortete Fragen klar und überlegt. Er kümmerte sich gut um uns während der gesamten Tour und sorgte dafür, dass wir uns die ganze Zeit wohl fühlten.
Im Tempel der Hatschepsut waren seine Erklärungen besonders wertvoll. Er führte uns ruhig durch die Reliefs und Wandschnitzereien im Detail, und die Erfahrung wäre ohne seine Führung nicht dieselbe gewesen. Es machte den Besuch viel spannender und sinnvoller.
Insgesamt ist diese Tour eine gute Option, wenn Sie mittelgroße oder große Reisegruppen lieber meiden und lieber persönlichere Interaktion, Zeit für individuelle Fragen und engere Interaktion mit dem Guide wünschen. Wenn das keine Priorität hat, können Sie stattdessen nach einer Gruppentour suchen. In unserem Fall konnten wir keine passende Gruppenoption finden, also haben wir uns für diese entschieden.

Great way to land in Luxor
Great experience! I highly recommend this half-day tour. We were picked up directly from the airport and headed to the Valley of the Kings. Cold water was provided for the journey, which was very much appreciated.
Ahmed Abdulteif was extremely knowledgeable from the moment he got into the vehicle. During the drive, he pointed out important locations, which made the experience both helpful and interesting. We also stopped for shopping and enjoyed a bonus limestone experience.
There’s no need to worry if you’re traveling solo — he takes the best pictures! Ahmed’s explanations of the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, and Mamnon were exceptional. He truly brought history to life, making it easy to visualize what occurred hundreds of years ago.
Book this tour and learn more about history — you won’t regret it!
Tip: comfortable shoes, hat, sun screen and a snack. There’s a lot of walking, hiking etc.
