Ask for Layla!!
Ok. Bad parts out of the way first. This tour is advertised as small group and that is the only reason we booked this tour over other cheaper tours. What they don't tell you (until it's too late to cancel) is that the transfer from hurghada to luxor is a massive bus and takes about 6 hours each way because you have to go all round hurghada picking people up (the reason we booked a small tour was to avoid this). When you get to luxor you split into your small group. However, if you get round everything quicker than other tours - tough, you have to wait for them to finish before heading back. Also, the bus driver smoked the whole way and constantly smelling / breathing smoke made me feel sick.
Now the good part! Layla was the best tour guide I have ever had. If you book this tour - ask for her. She is so incredibly knowledgeable and taught us so much. Tour guides can't go into certain areas (such as memorial temples) but she explained everything so well that we didn't need her in there - we already knew what we were looking at, and then we could ask any questions after. She also really looked after us (it being just my friend and I, two younger women) and she told us what to do in each place to ensure we were always safe. Honestly, we were so annoyed about the bus, had it not been for Layla specifically being so good then I would have given this trip 2 stars.
Lunch was delicious. There were lots of clean toilet stops (always need €1 for these). The stop at the alabaster shop was fun and added a little something to the day. The Nile boat trip was ok - quicker than taking the car so best to take this for more time sight seeing.
Would I book this trip again? Yes - but only if Layla was my tour guide!

Absolutely to do
My partner and I were in Luxor a few days ago. The excursion was perfectly organized and our Ragab Guide was very good and nice
All beautiful

Voir pour dire j'ai vue
De voir autant de monde sur les 4 sites ça stress, dommage qu'il faut le faire à pas très rapide. Peu de temps pour s'arrêter et flâner dans les boutiques. Le guides entre autre, nous les déconseilles.
Malgré avoir donné par wadzap l'adresse et non de hôtel, le chauffeur est arrivé avec 1h de retard.
Par contre, j'ai bcp apprécié l'organisation et la rapidité de réactions au message.

Found by chance, beautiful discovery!
We spent two wonderful days! The clean transport, the beautiful visits, the super kind, attentive, helpful and nice Guide, the clean and very nice hotel where we slept one night and had a great time. Thanks to the fantastic Ragab who took us to visit places of worship at times with bearable temperatures not too muggy and few people. They organized this tour great, super recommended!

Two wonderful days in Luxor
If I could, I'd give it 10 stars. Everything organized down to the smallest detail, from the transfer to the bus to the hotel, which I personally found better than the Resort in Hurghada where I was staying. The Ragab Guide and the personal driver were wonderful and nice. They always made us laugh and follow every second. We saw the wonders of Luxor at great times and had time to relax then at the Lotus Hotel with Nile view pool. The price of two days is much lower than other famous tour operators so I strongly Recommendation to rely on these guys who made us always feel great. Ah the two lunches included in the price in two buffet restaurants were exceptional. Rating 10/10

Amazing experience for the price
This was a very well organized tour that hit all the top landmarks in Luxor while providing pickup and transportation from your hotel in Hurghada. Laila was a really great tour guide who did a good job keeping us on schedule, keeping us in the shade and air conditioning as much as possible, steering us away from aggressive vendors and providing a good balance of informational talks and letting us wander on our own. Would definitely recommend! My one complaint is that the driver played a very loud movie and music on the drive back to Hurghada, which made talking and sleeping near impossible.

A spectacle for the eyes and soul
It 'was a beautiful day, no delay, time to visit listen to the Guide in Italian, free time to take pictures of these spectacular landscapes. Small group and minibus Recommendation to all for convenience 'in the trip is to be able to listen to the Guide and without having to wait latecomers.
I have been coming to Egypt for 3 years and I always rely on them to book tranite WhatsApp and then pay on the day of the visit.

One of the best experiences of my life.
The tour was just fantastic.
My girlfriend and I had booked a combo package at Book Tour Egypt. Luxor and cairo by bus and plane. We were picked up from the hotel in Hurghada in the morning and took the bus to luxor. There we looked at everything, it was very great (especially our guide Mohammed) You noticed that he is carrying out his job with great enthusiasm and passion. In the evening we were taken to the airport in luxor and flew to kairo. There was already waiting our next driver who took us to the hotel, which was right in front of the pyramids. (roof terrace with direct view of the pyramids). There we were picked up the next morning by our driver and guide. Had a wonderful day there too with lots of explanations and great impressions. (Also our guide Hossein there was great). In the end we were taken to the airport and flew back to hurghada where we were driven to the hotel by our last driver. Really every driver and guide were punctual and friendly. We never had to wait. My experience with Book Tour Egypt was very good. They are very well organized. My girlfriend and I can really recommend her.
