Great tour, sadly not the best guide.
There was nothing wrong with the sites we visited. It was amazing and beautiful. Our issue was with communication. The guide Mumu (mustafa I think) arrived 45 minutes late in the morning. He wrote to me at 6:30am asking if I was ready while the pickup was supposed to be at 7. He asked for my location and kept saying he was on his way. He arrived at 7:45. We felt bad because we had to ask our hotel staff to have an early breakfast at our hotel. His english was very hard to understand and when we asked him questions we never really got a clear answer to. We had to ask for our bottle of water and to go to the Valley of the Queen. He said he didn’t have our tickets and it wasn’t part of our tour, but we took this tour especially to do both Valleys. He called the company and we drove back to the west bank. From that moment, he looked annoyed and tired and wasn’t giving us a lot of explanations. We followed another tour guide in Karnak and Luxor temple and they both caught our attention and had great stories to tell. I wish our guide could have been like them.

Amazing day!
Fantastic tour! Covered the valley of Kings, Hatchepsut's Temple, Karnak temple and Luxor temple and paid extra to go on a boat trip over the Nile. The order was different than advertised but that was good as we went to Karnak before it got too busy! Our guide Mansor was brilliant and gave lots of information at each spot. The pick up/drop off was easy, car was clean and driver was great.

Great Guide, Knowledgeable, and Supportive Throughout Our Luxor Trip
We had an excellent experience on our trip to the Valley of the Kings and Queen Hatshepsut in Luxor, thanks to our fantastic guide, Roshdy
Roshdy was very knowledgeable and explained in English explaining the history in a very engaging way. What truly stood out was his kindness and attentiveness. He assisted to arrange a wheelchair for us and personally assisted throughout the trip, ensuring everything was smooth and comfortable.
He was extremely friendly, professional, and well-spoken, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable. We felt well taken care of from start to finish.
Highly recommend Roshdy to anyone visiting Luxor for a day or even more.

This was a good option to see Dendera and have a knowledgeable Egyptologist (Khaled) explain clearly its main features.
Dendera - Well worth visiting

Rapid and sucessful visit of the main sites in Luxor
The tour met our expectations, our guide Khaled and driver were prompt and good communicators, everything was planned and executed perfectly explanations were detailed and clear. The pre ordering of the entry tickets saved time, and the lunch at Howard Carter's house was very good. Our guide tended to make explanations before entering the sites (obligatory in the Valley of the Kings) and then leave us some time to walk around. This was nice in some ways but we saw other guides taking their clients round explaining the hieroglyphs ect. This could have been a time issue but we finished the tour quite early so maybe more explanation could have been given. Before the final visit the guide asked us to give him 5 stars because it would get him more work and to do it there and then which I refused .

Valley of the Kings
Very good tour to Valley of the Kings, Valley of the Queens and Temple of Hatshepsut and Habu Temple. Tour guide Khaled Elsmaky was very knowledgeable and friendly. Nice day all around.

Fantastic visit to Dendara
We booked a tour of Dendara Temple with travel from our hotel in Luxor. Our guide, Momo, is highly qualified and very knowledgeable. He gave a great overview of the history and function of the temple and pointed out the key sights inside the temple.
The temple is one of the most complete that we’ve seen in Egypt. The roof is intact which shows the temple as it would have been in ancient times.
The car was roomy and new and the driver was very professional.
I highly recommend this tour.

Good tour and great guide Hassan
Hassan was a friendly and knowledgeable guide who took time to make sure we understood which made our experience more enjoyable. Reflections managed to split our tour due to a last minute change in our Nile cruise itinerary. Hassan thought about the order in which we visited places, to avoid the crowds and long queues, and ensure we had the most time to enjoy each place.
Would definitely recommend!

A really good and full day - cant fault Osama
Osama was our guide and he was clearly very knowledgeable and eager to share his passion and experiences of the places we visited. He also made sure we weren't overwhelmed by the facts at his disposal asking us how detailed we wanted his talk to be. It was a very full day and very enjoyable. We certainly would recommend it
