Exceptional Tour

Our full day tour with lunch included was exceptional. Our english speaking guide, Mr Sayed Gamal has studied history at university and his knowledge made for a perfect tour. Salah our driver was safe and friendly. Car was new and very comfortable. The included lunch was a fantastic Egyptian meal. Highly recommend.

Holiday Highlight

This was the highlight of my visit to Luxor. Our tour guide Angie had an excellent grasp of English and was able to understand my thick Scottish accent without issue. Good thing as well as I barraged her with a 101 questions throughout the tour! She engaged with everyone with enthusiasm and really helped me understanding the context and history of these ancient and beautiful tombs and temples from Egypts distant past. The drive to and through was smooth and easy. Angue handled all the tickets and entry so long queues were skipped and I got access straight to the things I wanted to see. If your visiting Luxor I 100% recommend this experience!

Excellent tour

Mena and his driver gave us an excellent tour of the Valley of the King's, the workers tombs, Queen Hapshetsuts temple and the Habu temple. Mena spoke fantastic English and was very knowledgeable and made the tour informative, engaging and memorable. The driver was very good with a comfortable, air conditioned, spacious vehicle. I would recommend Mena to anyone looking for a tour.

A stunning day with a superb guide

Mena is a fascinating guide and egyptologist - taking us through the whole history of the Egyptian pharaohs, whilst putting everything into context and in easy to understand English. It was truely a pleasure to spend the day with this gentleman - he gave us space to explore ourselves but was full of information and guidance for every location. Of the locations - valley of the workers was simply stunning. We were able to stand in a beautiful tomb on our own, soaking in the paintings and atmosphere of this 3500yr old cavern. Amazing!!!

Very Good

​Omar was an excellent driver, and I had a wonderful trip. He was very thoughtful, even offering me water and snacks. I would definitely love to ask for his service again if I have the chance!

Awesome tour!

Nema is an excellent guide and very, very knowledgeable. He explains the history of Luxor and its surroundings in a very clear way, with humor. He is very good with kids (one of ours has Down syndrome and he loved it too). We would totally book a tour with him again!
