Great, highly recommend

We have requested a pick up from the Luxor airport at 8am, although our flight was due to land around 6:30am, just in case any delays. We flew in from Cairo for a one day visit. The driver Beshoy was already waiting for us, an hour earlier than expected. It was a nice surprise. We went off to pick up our guide Shereen and then started our tour. We opted for a driver an a guide only as we felt, we would have more flexibility this way. Shereen is a knowledgeable guide snd she was patiently answering all our questions. She helped us buying the tickets and to choose additional tombs worth visiting. The whole experience was amazing and definitely worth doing.

Don't book this tour!! Very Bad experience - tour guide was more of selling instead of giving tour about Luxor!

I do not recommend this travel agency. We booked our flights just to be in Luxor for a day, but the tour guide assigned to us ruined it all, it was even my husband's birthday. The tour guide focused on selling us necklace and when we said NO, he lost his interests in the tour. He stopped explaining the history and was on rush. He even told us that there is no need to go to the last temple of Hatshepsut cause as per him there is nothing. We paid so much for this tour that included all tickets. The tour only took a total of 3hrs since the guide Ahmed was not interested at all. Worst experience i ever had in Egypt.

Luxor Day Trip East & West Bank

Great experience. Amazing help from agency as we booked for package with tickets and later realised we could get 50% discount for student tickets but it was too late to claim refund from Tripadvisor . However Emo tours and Travels offered to pay us the difference . Guide : Peter and Driver : Mumdouh were very professional and friendly as well.

All sites in one day with Ahmed

Ahmed was an excellent tour guide. He shared historical and modern day information that helped us appreciate the Egyptian culture even more. We managed to cover everything on the itinerary, which was a full day covering all the key sights in one day, including a stop to see how they make alabaster vases and lunch. Lunch was your typical Egyptian tour fare, nothing fancy. Worth the cost.

sam最高

2月の末にルクソールを訪れこのツアーを予約しました。ルクソールには2日間滞在する予定で、できるだけ多くのところを1日で訪れる必要があったのでこのツアーにしました。ガイドのサムは空港で出迎えてくれて、1日中サポートをしてくれました。初めはガイドをつけるか悩んでいたのですが、遺跡のことやその歴史などについて詳しく教えてくれたのでガイドをつけて大正解でした。特に王家の谷で、入るべき墓を教えてくれたのはガイドをつけなければ分からなかったことなのでありがたかったです。そのツアーの際に次の日のデンデラ神殿のツアーの予約もしてくれました。次の日もガイドがサムで、とても楽しかったです。また、車に忘れ物をしたのですが、とても丁寧に対応してくださり、カイロまでその日中に荷物を届けてくださりました。総じてとても良いツアーだったと思います!

Fully recommend this fantastic tour! Ayad is a great guide!

We really enjoyed our tour of the east and west banks of Luxor with Emo Tours! Ayad was a phenomenal tour guide for the day, he wears extremely knowledgeable about each of the places we visited and really made us comfortable for the day. He gave us plenty of in depth information about the valley of the kings, queen Hatshepsut’s temple, the Colossi of Memnon, Luxor temple and Karnak temple. We enjoyed a delicious lunch at a local restaurant with lots of fantastic food and we picked up some great gifts as well. We are really grateful to Ayad for such a wonderful trip, it was a great day for my birthday! Hasan was a great driver as well and we appreciated his good driving. He was perfectly on time to pick us up too.

There was no water.

The water was burning, but it was not. I ended up buying it myself. I had to walk extra because I couldn't get to the parking area inside the gate where buses from various sightseeing spots were stopping, which felt like a normal taxi ride. The driver was not a bad person because he talked to me about a lot of things. It is recommended because it offers a cheap tour of the main attractions of the West Bank.

The greatest Egyptologist in Luxor

We were fortunate enough to have the great Egyptologist Ayman for this tour of the east and West Bank, an extremely knowledgeable and friendly man. We couldn’t have hoped for better. His English was outstanding and his knowledge of Egyptian history was conveyed to us with mesmerising enthusiasm. He truly made the experience better than we could have imagined. We felt safe too and that is probably the most important thing. The driver did a fantastic job too although I can’t remember his name! Thankyou driver! Thankyou Ayman for an unforgettable day!!!!

Great car and guide!

We had a great guide. Her name was Salwa. The car they picked us up in was clean and comfortable. The driver always opened the door for us. We got our bottles of water which was nice on a warm day. We did a lot of walking. Salwa was very knowledgeable and we learned many things about Egypt, the hieroglyphics and the city. She was helpful in taking our pictures too and patiently waited for us as we took our own pictures. Would recommend and use again.
