10/10! And ask for Salwa, she’s an awesome guide!

We went to the main sights in Luxor, visited a couple of local buisnesses and had a nice egyptian lunch! The tour in general was good, and very flexible. Our guide Salwa was the best guide we could have had😁 she told us A LOT about ancient Egypt! She helped us with anything we needed, we could aks about anything and if she saw that we needed help she instantly helped us! We stood in line to get the ticket for an extra toomb, and there was many people in line. Two tour guides snuck in front of us because they said they had to «just fix something» and I did not dare to take the fight with two egyptian men, I am not used to discussing like egyptians😂 but Salwa saw this and clearly let them not that it was their problem that they had booked the wrong tickets and that they had to stand in line like the rest, we should not wait more because of them. She is a cool lady, very polite and full of knowledge! Her english is also great😁 you should ask for her if you are going to book a trip in Luxor to see the sights!

Stupendous Trip

Valley of the kings and the temple of Karnak. Ms Salwa Fathi was very courteous and knowledgeable. She explained the Egyptian antiquity in details

Thank you to Salwa for the wonderful and informative tour. A great way to see both the east and west banks of Luxor in one day. Thank you to Sayid also for the swift logistics

Luxor tour with Shereen

We had a good experience with Emo tours on Luxor day tour. Our guide Shereen is a very knowledgeable lady. She explained all the history and answered all our questions. Water bottles were provided to us. We got picked up and dropped in AC car, well maintained. Weather was very hot almost 40 degree Celsius so AC car helped. Lunch buffet was at a Nile view restaurant. Food was good. Overall good experience.

Recommendations for efficient viewing

It is reasonable and recommended. However, the guide said it would take nine hours of attitude, but it was six hours to move according to the time specified by the driver. You should correct it. Also, I wonder if an hour in the Valley of the Kings is too short to go around.

Meh 🥱

I have been part of better day trips. The guide wasn’t quite interested and was keen to make us buy things from businesses she recommended. (She wasn’t quite happy if I were buying from any other shops, which was sly) This is a common experience you will across any day trips to take in Egypt.

Great tour!

Thanks so much to our guide Ayad! He was very knowledgeable and flexible with plans. There’s so much to cover in this tour but we didn’t feel rushed at all, Ayad gave us a great tour! Khaled was our driver, probably the safest driver I’ve come across on the whole trip! Thanks to Ayad and Khaled for being so friendly and respectful, we had a great time!

Journée excellente en compagnie d'un guide de qualité 😁

Une journée complète avec Ismail qui a su répondre à nos attentes et être au petit soin durant cette excursion a Luxor. Nous avons passé une super journée et ce en grande partie grâce à lui et ses conseils précieux concernant les coutumes egyptiennes ✌️
