Very nice excursion but logistical adjustments...

Very beautiful exceptional sites. Nice program. However we lost 1 hour in the morning because the agency had not transmitted the right number of participants according to the guide. Not very professional

Fantastic day provided by Legacy Tours and Mohammed Sayed

Legacy Tours organised an incredible day for us in Luxor. We were picked up promptly from our hotel in a comfortable air conditioned car by our driver. Our guide, Mohamed Sayed, met us in Luxor. He was friendly, knowledgeable and patient when introducing us to the incredible lives of the ancient Egyptians. Nothing was too much trouble for him. We began our day at the Karnak Temple, from there to the Valley of the Kings and on to the Temple of Hatshepsut. After a quick stop at the Colossi of Memnon, our lunch was an enjoyable Egyptian meal at a local restaurant. Following lunch we had a short boat ride on the Nile. The day ran exceptionally smoothly with no problems. I would definitely recommend Legacy Tours and our new friend Mohammed for providing a first class service.

Compact and relaxed one day trip

A compact one-day-trip with a reliable chauffeur and our guide Samira, who knew all there was to know about Egyptian kings and queens. Everything went smoothly, and thanks to our staff, there was a relaxed feeling throughout the journey, despite a very early wake up and the usual crowds of hurried co-tourists in the Valley of Kings. Also the lunch setting was pleasant and the food much better than on many other pre-arranged trips.

Amazing day trip from Hurghada to Luxor

We had the most incredible day trip from Hurghada to Luxor. Everything was perfectly organised and our guide LT was very knowledgable and entertaining and spoke excellent English and tailored the day perfectly to our requirements. The driver, Islam Quraani, was extremely polite and made getting around easy and enjoyable. We can’t recommend this highly enough!

Great day in Luxor

We were picked up in hurghada from our hotel by Adam at 4.30am and driven to Luxor. The car was comfy and he picked a stop for us half way where there was no charge for the bathrooms. When we got to Luxor, Hamad took over the driving and was very friendly and made sure we had a good day. We then picked up our guide Samira, who was very welcoming and knowledgable and took us to see the sights. She recommended swapping the Karnak temple to a different temple as I was struggling with walking (I have a disability) and I think this was the right option for me, but having looked at photos I think the Karnak temple is the best option if you are okay with walking! We were taken to an alabaster factory, but not for too long. Samira was great to talk to, had so much knowledge about ancient Egypt and also happy to talk about current Egyptian life which was very interesting. At the end of the tour, Hamad then drove us to meet Adam who drove us back to Hurghada. On our drive back to Hurghada he stopped to buy us ice creams and drinks which was very kind! Had a great day and saw and learned a lot about ancient Egypt.

10/10 – Unforgettable Private Day Trip

We had an absolutely amazing 10 out of 10 experience from start to finish on the private day tour from Hurghada to Luxor and the Valley of the Kings with Legacy Tour. A very special mention goes to our guide El Tayeb – ask for him if you can. He was truly fantastic. His knowledge, passion, and storytelling brought ancient Egypt to life. It was clear that he knew the sites inside out, and thanks to him we saw hidden treasures and corners of Egypt’s history that other groups clearly did not get to see. Everything was well organized, comfortable, and smooth throughout the day. El Tayeb took his time, answered all our questions, and made sure the experience felt personal and special rather than rushed or touristy. This tour exceeded all our expectations, and we can warmly recommend both Legacy Tour and especially El Tayeb!

Excellent guided expedience

Great trip to discover Egypt’s history. Pick up was smooth, exchanged drivers on the outskirts of Luxor for a local, picked up our guide Sameera and spent the day visiting the sites of ancient Egypt. Sameera was friendly, informative and incredibly knowledgeable about everything Egyptian history has to tell. Her knowledge was astounding and her assistance in navigating our way through the street hawkers was very helpful too. She was invaluable in making our day thoroughly worth the early start. A boat trip on the Nile made the trip even more special. At the end we farewelled Sameera and were driven to meet our original driver who safely transferred us back to Makadi Bay. All very efficient. Thank you.

Memorable day trip to Luxor

Well worth the 5am start, the trip was well organised from start to finish. The private mini bus was on time, clean and comfortable and the drivers were friendly and polite. The best part though was our guide, El T 😊 he was so knowledgeable and explained the history in a way that brought it all to life. We visited the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut and Karnak Temples and had a beautiful boat trip on the Nile. We also had a delicious lunch in an Egyptian restaurant. It was such a memorable day, having our own guide and transport made it much easier and much more enjoyable. Thank you so much to our guide, and we all loved our trip to Luxor!

Fascinating Day Out

My wife and I booked this experience 5 days ago whilst on holiday in the Makadi Bay area near Hurghada. Our driver Ahmed Bahaa picked us up on time at 5am and was great company to and from Luxor, which was ~3.5 hours each way. He even bought us ice cream on the way back which was very kind of him! Arriving in Luxor we met our professional guide Mahmoud Issa. Having grown up in Luxor himself, he is incredible knowledgeable on the places we visited: Valley of the Kings, Queen Hapshetsut's Temple and Karnak Temple, and ancient Egyptian history in general. Not only did he provide us with so much context and history while we walked around, but he had answers to all of our questions too, and speaks English well. The tour itself was great, I think all three sites are well worth visiting, my favourite personally was Karnak Temple which was our last stop, and a great way to finish the tour. We also stopped for a very tasty lunch followed by a 30 minute boat trip across the River Nile. Both Ahmed and Mahmoud were incredibly polite, professional and kind. The detail and preservation of the sites was very impressive given they stretch back almost 3500 years. With that in mind, this tour and the entry tickets I believe are good value for money and I would recommend this trip to anyone who is thinking about a day out from the hotel to take in some Egyptian history.

A Wonderful Day

This was a truly brilliant day from start to finish. Our drivers were very friendly, polite and safe. The car was very clean with air con too. Our tour of the valley and tombs afterwards was just outstanding. Our tour guide Professor Ahmed Elsisi was a wonderfully expert guide who furnished us with so much information and knowledge throughout the day which made the whole day truly memorable. The lunch provided was just delicious and omongst the best food I have had in Egypt. The day was rounded off with a nice relaxing boat trip on the Nile. I give every aspect of this trip 100%.
