A trip of a lifetime!
Our guide, Abdul was very knowledgeable, spoke excellent English and we had a trip of a lifetime exploring and learning about ancient Egypt and the Pharaohs. I recommend doing a private tour, as you can explore things at your own pace and ask all the questions you want to your own private guide. A big bonus of a private tour is that you aren't stuck in one of the massive busses like other tours. The buses are slower between destinations and seemed to be stuck at security checkpoints far longer but the private car and driver is a lot faster and a far more pleasant, relaxing experience. Our guide, Abdul, made sure the tour was relaxing, making sure no one hassled us. Lots of water and juice in the car, and driver bought us some ice cream too. The stops they took us to also had nice toilets, which was much appreciated! A few tips for others booking: it starts at 5am and don't get lunch until mid day, so make sure you bring breakfast. We had our breakfast boxes made up by our hotel in advanced. Bring tissue (just in case) for toilets, and hand sanitiser. It's worth paying extra at valley of the kings for King Tut and also Ramses IV and V tombs - a must! I was blown away by the history of Hatshepsut Temple and I was in awe at the size and structures of Karnak Temple. I've already recommended this guide and tour to a friend. An incredible day! Thank you!

Incredible Experience – Safe, Comfortable, and a Must-Do in Egypt!
As an American visiting Egypt for the first time, I’ll admit I was a bit skeptical at first—but this experience completely changed my perspective. Egypt is not only safe, but absolutely amazing. I felt secure and comfortable the entire drive. The vehicle was super clean, had WiFi, and was incredibly comfortable. The driving was smooth and professional from start to finish. Our driver, Muhamad, was hands down the best—so skilled and calm that I actually fell asleep on the ride back to Hurghada! That alone says everything about how relaxing the experience was. The tour guide was equally fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and made the trip even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this experience to anyone traveling in Egypt. It’s truly a must-do!

10/10 Day trip to Luxor
The best day trip to Luxor! We were picked up at our hotel in Hurghada and safely & comfortably were driven 4 hrs to Luxor, we rode with Mohamed who was great! He had WiFi in the car and different drinks ready for us. We then had Samira as our tour guide and she was amazing!! Explained the history very well at each site and not to mention she had tons of photo tips and was a great photographer. She was very friendly! The food at Paris Restaurant had great food with great service! We enjoyed it a lot! 10/10 recommend if staying in Hurghada but wanting to visit Luxor!

Samira was incredible !
Samira was the best tour guide I’ve had in years ! We had the best time with her today and she knew so much about ancient Egypt that we tried to catch her out and couldn’t. The sights were incredible and the restaurant for the food was fantastic, if you’re nervous about eating in a random Egyptian restaurant, don’t be. It was brilliant. Thank you so much for such a memorable day. Samira, thanks for taking amazing candid photos of us which we will cherish and remember.
