Valley of the Kings - Amazing Sights

So many beautiful sights to see. This tour is worth the money just be aware that the tour guide will bring you to shops that the tour guides are familiar with. Just be firm and tell your tour guide if you want to see shops or if you don't and they normally listen to you. Miranda was able to see many "behind the scenes" areas because it was her birthday and she is very beautiful lol. The men have no issues with Miranda's beauty and were happy to show her areas that were under lock and key.

Salwa excellent guide

We didn't know which tour to hire and we chose, salwa was our very expert guide her, we went karkaking, Valley of the Kings, luxury temple and others, lunch was included very clean the restaurant and variety of typical foods very rocks, we visited an essential oil store with pretty good aromas, the only thing I didn't like about this place was that the seller was very insistent for us to buy more than we wanted and that lowers the value of the experience, we made another stop where they sold crafts. I also asked about A special stop to see the original papyri, a Boy from the store explained the whole process quite interesting how the papyri are made and the difference that it makes when it is banana leaves I love. The car where we were clean and air conditioned the driver very friendly, super punctual.

Disappointing service/experience-do a self tour instead

The guide spoke too fast and seemed like she was in a rush to finish the tour that I can’t even properly absorb the information. All other tour guides around me explained slowly and clearly unlike her. Also, I found it a hassle to try to scout for her after I finished exploring myself. It was supposed to be an 8 hour tour but ended in 6. She took me to shops I didn’t ask her to and was not part of itinerary, possibly to try to get some commission. She didn’t tell me lunch did not include drinks until after I finished lunch. And this information was not noted in the Tripadvisor page. These drinks were about 10x the price of the same drink I can get in town. She insisted I tip her and pointed me to ATM after I said I don’t know if I have cash and made me uncomfortable about it. She also got me sick because she was coughing in my face without a mask all the time. It was a pretty disappointing experience because I would have had a better time doing a self guided tour which I did in Cairo.

Amazing Full-Day Tour in Luxor

Amazing Full-Day Tour in Luxor! This tour was a fantastic way to explore both the East and West Banks of Luxor in one day. The guide (doctor Salwa) was knowledgeable, friendly, and made ancient history come alive at each site. Highlights included the Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple, and Hatshepsut’s Temple. We also stopped at a local alabaster workshop (Aton for alabaster) a great cultural touch where we saw artisans at work and found some unique souvenirs. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Luxor!

Ahmed the Luxor King !

I had a wonderful day. During this day I was able to visit all the magnificent monuments on offer: Valley of the Kings (with the different tombs visited (Ramses I and IX as well as that of Merenptah). Also linger at the temple of Karnak and Luxor which are extraordinary buildings. I would like to sincerely thank my guide, Ahmed, who was great from start to finish. If you want someone jovial, super cool and who knows the temples very well, contact Ahmed! He was able to tell me a large part of Egyptian history on the different sites. I was even treated to craft presentations such as the making of papyrus or the cutting of alabaster. It is thanks to Ahmed and his knowledge that I was able to discover this know-how. I recommend this day tour and even more if you are with Ahmed!

This tour was excellent!...

This tour was excellent! Punctual pick up and very accommodating throughout the tour to pick up water or use washrooms. We visited all the temples and tomb sites in Luxor on the West and East bank. The guide had great information and knowledge of each site we visited. I felt very comfortable and in good hands for the entirety of the activity. Would highly suggest booking!
