Perfect day!

Great private trip to Luxor. The driver Abdul was top, punctual, and very safe. He knows every pothole between Hurghada and Luxor. Our guide Mustafa spoke perfect German and explained a lot to us at each station, so we almost became experts on ancient Egypt. Also the food and the boat trip were great. It was also great that Mustafa responded to our individual wishes and we were able to make two short stops that were not really part of the tour. An all-round successful day, perfectly organized and very warm.

Great experience

We had an incredible day in Luxor with our guide, Maddalena. There were four of us in the group, and she made the whole experience very enjoyable. She’s genuinely passionate about Egypt’s history and explained everything in a clear, engaging way, from the details inside the kings’ tombs to the stories behind the temples. You can tell she really loves what she does and is very knowledgable. Maddalena answered every question, and even shared some great local tips. We never felt rushed, we were given time to look around at the sites we visited and the pace of the tour was adjusted to our needs. We visited the alabaster factory but opted out of the spices market and it was not a problem. The lunch at a local restaurant was nice and we were also provided with fresh water and soft drinks throught the day. Overall a great tour to take if you are staying in Hurghada and want every detail to be taken care for during your visit in Luxor.

Great Value. Brilliant experience and the team are simply amazing. Our own Egyptologist in Professor Ahmed Elsisi.

Just back from a wonderful day in the company of Professor Ahmed Elsisi and our driver Mahmood. This day had everything we wanted or so we thought. Spending a short time with Professor Ahmed Elsisi and we found we were able to add even more into the day which was no trouble and added to the experience. From start to finish this day was perfectly organised. Safe driving and seemless transition from one site to the next made allowed us to get everything we wanted from this trip and more. Thank you team. We loved it!

Fantastic trip. Extremely well organised. Professor Ahmed Elsisi is amazingly knowledgable and great company

We booked this tour after reading positive reviews and I can only say good things. Our driver Mamood was already at the hotel reception when we got there 15 minutes early. The best possible start. The car was clean and comfortable and his driving was perfect. Very safe and courteous. We picked up our guide close to the Valley of the Kings. Professor Ahmed Elsisi is simply brilliant. He had all the knowledge and had a wonderful way of delivering it in the way we wanted. He instantly learned what we wanted from our trip and delivered above and beyond even adding a little extra stop or two (that we agreed) to make the day even more informative and complete. Thank you to all involved because there isn’t a single thing I could improve. A fantastic day I thoroughly recommend

A very good day out

Our driver and tour guide were fantastic, the car journey was comfortable and the guide was very knowledgeable about the sites. There is plenty of time to tour the sites and take photos. It is a shame everywhere has people asking for money - whether it’s offering to take a photo, or let you see a closed off area, just say no unless you have plenty of cash to dish out. Dinner was a lovely buffet style - all Egyptian food we’ve enjoyed this trip. The alabaster trip to see alabaster being made it just a sales pitch to purchase something. In October the felucca boat was replaced with a speedboat as there isn’t enough wind for the felucca. I was expecting a cruise up and down the Nile but we just sort of floated the width of it. All in all a good day and very pleased to have seen these sites.

Awesome Day

This has been my first trip to and this tour has made it unforgettable, Professor Ahmed Elsisi was a gentleman throughout the day, he is unbelievably knowledgeable and always insured that we got the best view and understood the history. Was getting up at 5 am is not something I normally look for on holiday. It is totally worth it to see such amazing sights. I totally recommend this to and it’s well worth getting private

Incredible Day

We loved this tour! Everything is exactly as described and our Guide professor Ahmed Elsisi was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. He looked after us so well ensuring we always got the perfect view, understood the history and took the photos so that we could thoroughly enjoy living in the moment and focusing on the experience. I would not hesitate to recommend this Trip to anyone. Taking the private tour as well worth a few extra pounds as the one on one experience cannot be beaten, it is also worth the early start Thank you for a great day

Birthday Treat

What an amazing day, very much worth the extra money to take the private tour. My husband and I were looked after so well and guided by the expert Professor Ahmed Elsisi, he is knowledgeable and friendly, he took care of the photos so we could enjoy being in the moment! The sights are breathtaking and construction mind boggling given the age! Everything was perfect tho if I could change 1 thing it would be loose the boat trip, it did not add to the day and the drivers were pushy for tips (uncomfortably so) Drivers for transfer were very professional and friendly too We would totally recommend this activity Get out of your resort and see real life and history!
