Amazing experience and excellent guide, well worth the long journey from Hurghada

This was the highlight of our trip to Egypt. All of the historical sites were incredible to witness, all in amazing condition for their age. Our tour guide Hamada was very informative and had a great sense of humour. Only thing i would change is the lunch, it was not very nice.

Great trip and fascinating history.

Excellent trip to Luxor and the Valley of the Kings, we all really enjoyed it and appreciated the effort that Laila our guide went to to explain what we were seeing and the history behind it. 5 stars from us!

Amazing day trip to Luxor with family and friends hosted by Leila

We had an amazing trip recently where 6 of us (family and friends) had a day trip starting from Hurghada at 5 am to Luxor and return by 9:30 pm . The trip was awesomely planned , super punctual , very safe , great transportation , excellent itinerary and the star of the show Leila our guide and host . She is an amazing person - warm welcoming and super fluent in English which made our life easy .. I would highly recommend anyone to consider this and ask for Leila to be the host. Not to forget the car drivers - two of them - who drove safely and smoothly interchanging their turns and were courteous and punctual too ..

Super operator for Hurghada to Luxor

Our experience with this tour was nothing short of fantastic!! We were planning a 1 day tour from hurghada to Luxor and with all online travel agencies and local one at hotel the pricing was quite high when you start adding up small missing items, even for non private tour. It was also a late planning by us, needed to travel next day Got contact of this tour operator from tripadvisor,messaged on WhatsApp and they helped finalize things in an hour. While i was bit skeptical to start, everything was handled very professionally. The pricing was better than any other... including guide, 2 drivers and tickets to karnak, valley of kings and Hatshepsut +Lunch - all for a private tour in large people carrier!! The guide Laila was very knowledgeable and had a great command over English, which made it easier to follow, considering the details and complexity of egypt history. She had details which i had not found on google or other guides. The drivers Mohammed Ghazal and Sayeed were fantastic,non intrusive and extremely safe Do tip Guide and Drivers well, whichever operator you take, the tourism in egypt is on revival and tips and commission are key source of income for people in tourism industry.

Not bad, but would not recommend at all.

So the trip took us to places that we were described even more places (that we didnt need, but about this later). I would double think if you really want to do that especially for this price. But here is what you should expect if you still want: 1. Bus from Hurghada drivers so long to Luxor (it also takes the route that is 1h longer than the one google maps suggests). It also picks people for every hotel. 2. So uncomfy bus. It has so little space, the seats are way past their prime time and no water nor toilet in the bus. 3. You have a lot of time but at the same it is so little to visit all these places, so you kinda rush from one attraction to another. The guide (Laila) is nice and prepared but still english not supper good and has kinda robotic flow. 4. You are took to the place that is outside the plan (alabaster factory) - avoid buying there anything as it is overpriced as hell. (the guy starts selling things fro, 250eur finally go down to 60eur but still way more than it is worth). 5. The factory is the place where they take you for (free toilet) just before last attraction. BUT the thing is, is not free or can be not free. be careful. This factory is cooperating with the guides (there we paid for river boat). 6. River boat (we got charged 20eur fro 2 person) is wayy overprices. Standard price is maximum 5$ for a trip no person. And we didnt pay at the boat (it was run by kids lol) we paid at... you guessed it - Alabaster factory. 7. Alabaster factory also charged us more as they said it is for fee lol. It was about 5$ more than it should. 8. One more things that makes me feel sad about this trip is that Laila made us feel like friends etc. she warned us about the scammers in other places etc. But when we got into the alabaster factory, she did not say anything to us that those things are overprices or something. Highly not recommended - for this price you could get uber to luxor and get around with some taxis there etc.
