Great time in a historic place

Ahmed Elsisi was our guide on this tour and did a fabulous job! He was very knowledgeable and we found that a private tour was the best way to experience Luxor. Our driver was also very friendly and got us around safe!

Early start but it means...

Early start but it means you get to Luxor early before the crowds. About 4 hours to get to Luxor and 3.5 hours coming back. The day was really well organised and you see some amazing sites. Would highly recommend.

Great experience

Early start from Makadi but worth it to get to Temple of Karnak before most of the crowds. The. Tombs at the Valley of the kings were fascinating

Great guide, awful driver

Our guide was excellent. He was very knowledgable and friendly. The drivers on the other hand made the trip very exhausting. The driver from Hurghada to Luxor was good, and made the trip there pretty comfortable. The driver from Luxor back to Hurghada drove like a maniac. Despite telling him multiple times to slow down because we get car sick, he did not do so. "You can go to sleep" was his response. Driving 150-160 on even the bad roads, hitting multiple potholes very hard. Lucky a tire didn't blow two of the times. If you want a private trip for the comfort, I would specify before you go if you want a comfortable drive.

Fantastic trip from start...

Fantastic trip from start to finish. Pickup was 430am and we headed straight over the desert road. Our drivers were very friendly and kept us informed. Our guide Moamen met us in Luxor. Very knowledgeable guide and very patient with us. Kept us informed all day. We did everything the trip advertised and there are even more optional trips you can add if you wish. We only didnt do this because our son was very tired due to the hot weather. Will definitely do again

Fantastic guided expedience

Great pesronal trip, just 2 of us and our guide, to discover Egypt's history. Picked up from our hotel on time and met our guide Mohammed at Karnak and spent the day visiting the sites. Mohammed was friendly, informative and incredibly knowledgeable about everything Egyptian history has to tell. His knowledge was astounding and invaluable in making our day thoroughly worth the early start. A lovely lunch and then a fabulous boat trip on the river Nile, to finish the trip off, this made the trip even more special. At the end we said farewell to Mohammed and were safely transferred back to our hotel. A fantastic day and experience, we would thoroughly recommend this trip to anyone.

Excellent day in Luxor

We had a wonderful day in Luxor thanks to our driver Yassine and Maria, our guide. We left early from Hurghada, and the car was very comfortable. Upon our arrival in Luxor around 8:30, we started with the incredible visit to the Karnak Temples, followed by a scenic boat tour on the Nile. After a good lunch, we continued to the Valley of the Kings and the Temple of Hatshepsut. Maria was very dynamic and knowledgeable. Our driver, Yassine, was safe and professional. If you want to enjoy Luxor from Hurghada, this is a perfect option.

Long day with breathtaking culture

Early in the morning we were picked up on time in El Gouna and driven to Luxor, where the experienced Egyptologist Mark was waiting for us and accompanied us throughout the day through the Egyptian cultural sites and impressed us with his great knowledge. We also learned the meaning of hieroglyphics. The whole trip was very interesting and is highly recommended.
