Great and memorable experience
We had a wonderful tour of Karnak and Luxor Temple with our guide Amera. She was knowledgeable, patient, and explained complex historical connections in a very clear and engaging way. She took plenty of time to answer our questions and made the temples much easier to understand and appreciate. A very enjoyable and memorable experience – highly recommended!

Bucket list Luxor
Angie and Thomas delivered a true bucket list experience across Luxor. From start to finish, Angie’s storytelling and deep knowledge brought ancient Egypt vividly to life. And the Valley of the Kings was an absolute highlight. Every site felt richer and more meaningful because of her clear, engaging explanations. Thomas was equally excellent, making the whole day seamless and comfortable. This isn’t just a tour, it’s an experience that stays with you. Highly, highly recommended.

Less crowded in summer!
Had a great tour today! Everything was covered before, even a delicious lunch, so I didn’t have to worry about buying tickets. Got picked up in the morning and the driver and tour guide were very prompt and I appreciated that the guide checked in on me yesterday and this morning before picking me up. It was very hot but honestly there weren’t as many people at the sites this time of year, so it’s a good trade off. Leaving early was also very helpful and we were done at 12 pm. Ahmed was the driver and he drive us to every site. The guide was Emad Roshdy and he was a really great guide. He knows Egyptian history very well. He showed me some helpful photos of the paintings and explained them. I even asked a lot of questions about what I saw inside the tombs and temples and he always had something to share about it.
