Safe and Efficient Tour
Our tour guide, Mr. Remon, and our driver did a great job of taking us to the famous sites in Luxor. The driving was smooth and safe. The tour at each site was informational and efficient. I liked how we got a brief introduction at each site and then had free time to explore and take pictures on our own. We were able to tailor the tour to our needs without any issues. It was a very smooth and worry free tour. Thank you!

Full day Luxor tour by Hesham Egypt tour guide
The tour was impressive, The Valley of the Kings is something totally unmatched from another world, the mortuary palace of Hatshepsut fantastic, we also met Egyptian craftsmen and their craftsmen, who do a very hard but exceptional job, the visit to Karnak the oldest religious complex in Egypt still retains much of its impressive construction, which makes the tour very interesting, something that cannot be explained in words until you live it; Remon, the guide was very patient and friendly. Highly recommended, I thank the agency for preparing us for this burst tour, as another agency canceled, but this agency did its best to fulfill our dream. Thank you!

It is a safe tour, with efficiency and some drawbacks
The good: It is a tour that allows you to move safely and efficiently from Cairo to Luxor, the guide was very good. The car was new and very comfortable.
The bad: They take you during the tour to shops where they want you to buy things that are displayed without price (they say no obligation but you will not get out of there without spending) They offer you additional things like food on the Island of Aladdin for 15 USD per person, bad food being that in Luxor you can find better options for a fifth of the price. The Luxor Light and Sound show is not worth $50 per person or the extra time. Finally, the person who contacts you is always writing to you and pushing to buy more tours, cancel those already contracted with other companies or something else and that continues throughout the trip. The price shown is not the end either, as no ticket is included (i.e. you can take to Luxor but you won’t do anything but pay for the tickets) also of the price shown will rise in the final quote.

Amazing tombs with our wonderful guide Dina
We decided to do a one day tour of Luxor from Cairo which is very tiring but a great experience. Our tour guide Dina made the experience both interesting and educational and made sure to make sure that everyone was comfortable at all times which was difficult given our large group that included some elders. She also was always upbeat and very knowledgeable about all manner of information from ancient times to modern times which was refreshing. Her knowledge and stories kept the drives between locations interesting.
The day trip is very long but well worth it as the ruins in Luxor are some of the most spectacular I have ever seen and I am glad that I took the opportunity to see them. The trip does include a nice lunch off the banks of the Nile which was breathtaking!
The tour company made sure to pick us up directly from the airport and dropped us back off at the end of the day to make sure that we caught our flight back to Cairo in a timely manner.
Overall it was a great trip and I would highly recommend anyone who is pressed for time in Egypt to take advantage of this tour and make sure you ask for Dina!

Wonderful Day Trip to Luxor
This trip was to the most important sites in and around Luxor. All of these sites are truly amazing and are worth taking the time to travel to Luxor to see. This tour is carefully planned to give visitors, in a brief amount of time, a comprehensive view of the wonder and importance of these sites in Egyptian and world history. It is a great tour! A major factor in making this such a great trip was my guide, Dina. She made the history come to life with her clear and thorough explanations. She is very knowledgeable and answered all my questions, and she made sure all my expectations were met. I am very satisfied with this tour.

Fantastic Day Tour
My friend and I visited Cairo for a couple days and didn't think it would be possible to make it to Luxor and back and still be able to do the things in Cairo we wanted. However this tour proved us wrong. We had a great time, the guide was both informative and efficient with our time and we felt we got the most for our money. 2oukd definitely recommend this if you are working with limited time in Egypt and want to make it to Luxor.

Luxor Day Trip
I booked this tour of Luxor about two weeks in advance. Unfortunately, the date chosen was not available, so we had to move around things, but it all ended up working out in the end.
The tour itself was great! Dina, our guide was amazing. I would give her five stars. She explained everything very well. She took us to a nice place for lunch on the Nile river. She arranged for ample time to shop. She also accommodated the older members of our group.
The only things I did not like about the trip was the fact that the entry fees were not included in the $450 USD that we spent. Water and snacks were also not included. Additionally, the director was a little pushy, texting everyday trying to get me to buy more tours through him.

Day Trip to Luxor
Dina was our guide and picked us up from the airport. It was a great day exploring and seeing all that Luxor had to offer. Dina made the tour seamless and easy and accommodated our needs and was always willing to answer questions. Definitely would recommend.

Long d ay, but worth it!
We were picked up from our hotel at 3:30am for the 5am flight to Luxor. The flight from Luxor was supposed to be at 10:15pm but it was delayed, so we didn't return to our hotel until past midnight. It was such a long day!
The tour to the Valley of the Kings and to the temples was very educational. Our tour guide Nermeen was very knowledgeable about the historical sites. She even took the time to explain the meaning of the hieroglyphics. She was very pleasant to be with and definitely has the perfect personality for the job.
We finished the tour at around 3pm so we had a long time to wait for the flight back to Cairo. Our tour guide did offer a few options of activities we could do in the meantime but they will cost us extra of course, and we weren't too interested.
I could rate this 5/5 but I'm rating it 4/5 because this tour didn't include lunch. We were asked to pay $20 each for lunch, which we gave directly to our tour guide, plus we paid for the drinks. Knowing the cost of food in Cairo, I would say that this is quite expensive.
Also, there was a miscommunication on the flight from Cairo, so if you book this tour, make sure you are clear on what time the flight to Luxor departs and returns.
