Luxor day trip from hurghada

Internal and interesting!

Aladin was a very good guide, he was very familiar with history and hieroglyphics and told us a lot of background knowledge. We would have preferred a little later departure.

Full eyes!

Superb day Departure at 5am from the hotel which leaves time to sleep the day before 3h30 drive, meet Ahmed, our guide well of History and arrival on Karnak, magnificent temple After walking, we went for a boat ride on the Nile (10€ per person, I think we could negotiate), the boat driver let us drive it and we went up to the roof to take pictures. We then arrived at the restaurant overlooking the Nile, splendid and very good (take your bottle of water with you it is not included in the price) Departure for the Valley of the Kings, stop at the entrance of this one with the imposing statues. Then visit tombs including that of Tutankhamun, exceptional, you will take full eyes Finally last visit to the Temple of Hatshebsout, impressive. Departure around 4:30 pm and arrival at the hotel at 8 pm, hairy for dinner In short a very nice day

Excellent Luxor Day Trip with an Outstanding Guide

We had an excellent experience on the Small Group Excursion to Luxor and the Valley of the Kings from Hurghada today- a group of 5. The whole day was very well organised, from pick-up to drop-off, and the air-conditioned transport was comfortable for the long journey. Our tour guide, Mohamed Sayed, was outstanding. He is extremely knowledgeable about Ancient Egyptian history and explained everything in a clear, engaging way. He was patient, friendly, and happy to answer all our questions, which really enhanced the experience. You can tell he is passionate about what he does. The itinerary was well planned, covering Karnak Temple, the Colossi of Memnon, and the Valley of the Kings, with enough time at each site to explore and take photos. We had a lovely boat trip with fruit and Lunch was a Buffet at a restaurant. Overall, a fantastic day trip and great value for money. Highly recommended, especially if you’re lucky enough to have Mohamed Sayed as your guide.

Great tour of Luxor

Amazing tour of Luxor with our tour guide Laila. She is super knowledgeable and very nice. She provides lots of info at each stop and gave us time to explore alone as well. Highly recommend.

We had an amazing experience with Lyla in Luxor. She was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the egyptian history. she explained everything in a clear and engaging way. She made the whole day feel relaxed, well organised, and truly special. Lyla went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. One of the highlights of our trip to Egypt . I would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Luxor.

Luxor in one day

Well organized tour with a competent guide

Great places, nightmarish tour operators.

We relied on Tripadvisor to do the tour in Luxor but it immediately turned out to be a draining and horrible experience. There was no seriousness because we were entrusted to operators who even before arriving in Egypt contacted me to change the Date of the tour (which of course I had already paid handsomely) since that day there was no guide in Italian. After a discussion in which they wanted to decide on a date when we already had commitments, we came to an agreement for a day x, except that then once there we were contacted the next day to be able to redo the Tour on the initial date, but by now we had already paid for other events. After a day of back and forth they decide to let us do the tour in the day that suits us. I thought “finally”, but even here at the last we are told that the withdrawal would not be at 5 but at 3.30 (this detail was also in contract). The fateful moment arrives and also the bus that takes us arrives and before literally setting off for luxor spends two hours picking up a delegation of tourists from various resorts. The problem arises when once in Luxor we were rushed into whatever we did because the other delegation had already done, so we raised the problem with the driver and that is that we waited two hours for everyone to get on the bus and it was not right that we literally ran to be in the time of others. But the icing on the cake was before I left, when my partner with the 8-year-old needed a bathroom that could be called such (not the bus latrine) to be able to face 6 hours of travel again, a matter of 5 minutes, but the driver’s assistant gave in a frenzy first against my partner and then against the child who hearing the mother attacked had started to cry. Ps. In the contract there was an optional option to cross the Nile in a boat. Too bad it was not optional but we had to pay there too and actually obliged, otherwise we would have been alone on the shuttle. My opinion is that to entrust people in a foreign country to unserious people, it means that you too are unserious. In hindsight we would have arranged directly with the local tour operators, as for the other activities carried out through them they were impeccable. In conclusion, the beauty of what we saw saved this experience. And I recommend this to everyone.

Wonderful trip to Luxor! We were picked up punctually with a minibus, and because we were only 8 it felt really exclusive and quiet. Laila was our guide and we immediately understand why so many people are positive about her: she guides everything very smoothly, explains clearly, and you can always contact her with questions. She also takes into account what the group needs, keeping the day relaxed. The food was also fine and there was plenty of choice. We would do this trip again in no time.
