Memorable tour with Ereen

I had a fantastic private tour of the West Bank highlights with Ereen as my guide and Lamy as our driver. It’s an excellent option for anyone wanting to cover a lot in one day, and everything was very well organized from start to finish. Luxor Egypt Tours was responsive and communicative in advance, making the planning process easy and stress-free. On the day, Lamy was punctual, professional, and ensured a smooth and comfortable drive throughout. Ereen was an excellent guide with thorough knowledge of the sites. She explained the history in a clear and engaging way, while being patient, flexible, and attentive to my interests. I never felt rushed and was given plenty of time to explore the temples independently and really experience each site. I wouldn't have done it any other way!

Highly Recommended Private Guide in Luxor

Bahaa was an excellent guide for the West Bank of Luxor, making the whole day smooth and enjoyable. He covered all the main sites, including the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, Valley of the Queens, Deir- el‑Medina, Medinet Habu, and the Colossi of Memnon. His explanations were clear, informative, and easy to follow, bringing the ancient history to life. Highly recommended if you want a well‑organized, friendly, and knowledgeable guide in Luxor.

Good experience

The trip was quite perfect. Our driver mehmood and guide emad were were kind and nice. Our guide was very knowledgeable and told us everything in detail about the each site that we visited. Lunch was very delicious too. My father is a vegetarian btw and he loved it. The trip cost was a little on the expensive side because tickets are not that costly and if you were to do it ala carte it would be cheaper

A Great Egypt Tour with Hassan

Hassan was an incredibly friendly and knowledgeable guide. He was always there to help and provide great insight into the history of Egypt, but also allowed us the freedom to explore and take plenty of pictures.

Luxor in December

A thorough tour through Luxor west bank (valley of kings, valley of queens, valley of workers, colossi, and other temples) and we had plenty of time to explore each (almost 9 to 17). Was accommodating to dietary restrictions (peanut allergy, vegan). Thank you!

Best guided tour...

Ramses was the best driver ever. Professional, kind and compassionate. I wish I had more days in Egypt so that I could use him for all my trips.

Emad picked us up on time at our hotel and took us to the West Bank where we saw all the key monuments. Great lunch too

A fantastic day on the west bank of Luxor. Emad our guide was extremely knowledgeable and personable, and shared with us his passion for ancient Egypt and its monuments. I heartily recommend Emad.
