Good tour with right level of information by Musa.

We had a good time with Musa to do a day tour in Luxor West Bank. We found him very knowledgeable and he provided us with a lot of good information and history about the most important historic places in West Luxor such as Valley of the Kings, Valley of Artisan, Temple of Medinat Habu and Colossi of Memnon. He also suggested the right tickets to buy for the sights which was much appreciated.

Amazing Valley of the Kings Tour

This private tour with guide Hany and driver Salah was phenomenal. My dad and I were visiting and on a quick trip down from Cairo and Hany did a fantastic job providing us a thorough tour of the 3 included Valley of the Kings tombs and then we also added King Tut’s and Ramses V and VI which were phenomenally decorated. Afterwards, we visited the temple of Hatshepsut and Hany did a great job explaining the history and significance of the temples and tombs. Finally, we visited the Valley of the Queens, El Medina, and Habu Temple. Hany did a good job at each of the places explaining the significance and it did not feel rushed like many of the big tour groups. Also, the lunch was excellent, authentic and delicious. Highly recommend for an in depth and historical journey through the various sites on the West Bank of Luxor!

Great experience in Luxor

We enjoyed the major western spots of Luxor in our best season. The Valley of the Kings and Valley of the Queens were also wonderful and Ramses III Funeral Hall made me feel the greatness of the royal family. The driver Ramses was also kind enough to give us a very safe tour.

Amazing Luxor West Bank Tour

I had an amazing Luxor West Bank tour with my private driver, Kerlous. At first, he couldn’t find the location of the guesthouse where I was staying, but he patiently coordinated with me. When I met him, he was a very nice guy—polite and always smiling. The car was clean and new. Since I didn’t have a tour guide, he guided me throughout the tour and even dropped me at a supermarket to get the things I needed before finally taking me back to the guesthouse. I highly recommend Kerlous as a private driver.

An amazing experience with Ramses

We were fortunate to have Ramses as ur driver today to visit Valley of Kings and Queens and more. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience! He gave us recommendations, was a great conversationalist and an overall friendly kind man. I’d highly recommend him to any traveler and will be sharing with friends who’ll be traveling to Luxor in March.

Great time!

We had an absolutely amazing time with Ramses. I highly recommend him to anyone wanting to explore Luxor’s most important sites independently. While he’s not a traditional tour guide, he generously shared his knowledge and spoke excellent English.

A Wonderful West Bank Experience with Ramsis! 🌟

We booked a trip to the West Bank without a guide, and it turned out to be one of the most pleasant and smooth experiences we’ve had, thanks to our amazing driver, Ramsis. He arrived right on time, greeted us with kindness, and immediately made us feel comfortable. His calm driving style and polite manner set the tone for a stress-free day. The whole trip was completely hassle-free and at our own pace, which made it even more enjoyable. Ramsis took the time to introduce us to the itinerary, making sure we knew what to expect, and went above and beyond to help us enjoy every moment. The car was spotless, cool, and comfortable—perfect for the Luxor sun! We visited all the sites on our list, and each stop was memorable. The highlight for us was Medinet Habu—a true hidden gem that should not be missed. Ramsis made sure we had plenty of time to explore and soak in the beauty of this incredible temple. Overall, the trip was seamless, enjoyable, and unforgettable. If you’re planning a visit to the West Bank, we highly recommend booking with Ramsis. He truly made our day special!
