Great tour with Emad and Salah
Excellent half day tour in Luxor with Emad (guide) and Salah (driver). They picked up at our hotel in a brand new car and brought us back in time . Emad is very knowledgeable, attentive and kind. he shared a lot not just about the arts but also about the culture of his wonderful country. It was a real pleasure spending time with him. Luxor is simply magnificent, and this tour is a no hassle way to enjoy it.

Highly recommend Emad and Khalil
Everything was great! Emad, our guide, had the energy of 10 people and will make your tour awesome. Also, I cannot point out enough the importance of a good driver in the chaos that is the Egyptian traffic, thank you Khalil for driving us all over the places with safety and comfort in mind.

Luxor- West Bank
We spent today with Sayed Gamal (guide) and Salah (driver). To cut a long story short... it couldn't have been better ❗️❗️❗️ The initial contact the day before and Sayed's tip to start at 7:30 a.m. proved to be spot on 👍. We visited five tombs in the Valley of the Kings, the Hatshepsut Temple, and the Habu Temple. We couldn't have booked a better English-speaking guide (Sayet studied Egyptology) 😃. We were so lucky. Salah always waited patiently for us with his comfortable car. A unique experience. If we could give 6 stars, I would. Greetings Julia, Jan, and Bert

Luxor - West Bank - Madness 😃👍
We spent today with Sayed Gamal (guide) and Salah (driver). To anticipate... - it doesn't get any better ❗️❗️❗️ The first contact the day before and thanks to Sayed's tip to start at 7:30 a.m. proved to be golden 👍. We visited 5x Tombs in the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut and Habu Temple. We could not have booked a better English-speaking guide (Sayet studied Egyptology) 😃. So lucky. Salah always waited patiently for us with his comfortable car. A unique experience. If we could award 6 x stars, I'd be there. Greetings Julia, Jan and Bert

Highly recommend this trip. Great guide and driver. It covered everything we wanted to see and much more!
What an amazing experience. Mena (guide) and Salla (driver) were knowledgeable and great company. We saw so much more than we would have if we’d done a group tour. We felt that we got an experience through the eyes of the locals and could ask loads of questions. A truly memorable day. Would highly recommend this trip. On time , reliable, kept us informed before on what to expect and lunch was also really nice.
