Trip to Luxor with an excellent tourist guide

We had an excellent trip to Luxor. The guide was perfect, very kind, communicative, with very good level of English and with extensive knowledge of egyptology. We learned a lot, he could answer all our questions and we had a very good time together. We strongly recommend him as a specialist in ancient Egypt, having very good cultural, political and geographical knowledge about Egypt.

Private daytrip to Luxor

We were picked up at 4 am. It was about a 5 hour ride from our resort near Port Ghalib. There is a road that would take an hour of the ride but tourists are not allowed to travel that road. The driver amazed us with how well he knows the roads, I would not recommend driving yourself. There is new roads and old roads but the drivers have knowledge of where all of the potholes are. Once in Luxor we picked up our tourgude Samira. She was absolutely wonderfull and started sharing what the itinuary of the day would be and her knowledge of our surroubdings and of what we drove past in Luxor. She showed all mentioned places. I love Egypt and tried to learn a lot about it, but I've learned so much from her! Samira also answered every question we had. Made sure the streetvenders did not bother us too much and warned beforehand what to watch out for. She also had a few suggestions of what to see, translated and recommended what was best for our day trip. It was very clear a day just wasnt enough to see all Luxor had to offer. For our first trip to Egypt, the places we went to were absolutely perfect. I'm already planning another trip to Luxor for next year, would love to have Samira as our guide again! I will take her advise and come at a later tine, seeing july and august are a few of the hottest months there (can get above 50°C. We were lucky with 'only' 42°C). Having a private trip was also really awesome, made it much more personal and it really gives all opportunity to see what you want and go about all places on your own tempo instead of having a grouptour where you have to adapt to the tour

Rip-off and very disappointing

Was unfortunately a buying event, overpriced and cheeky. Were taken to a tourist trap where supposedly handmade sculptures are sold but which could be bought at any stand in the city for a fraction of the price in the same quality. Luxor is beautiful but unfortunately not with this guide. Our driver, however, was super nice and picked us up from our hotel on time at 4pm and brought us safely and quickly to Luxor and back again, he was very friendly and polite. Under Guide Magda though rather less, she was nice but unfortunately could not explain so much about all the sights, the tour was very timed and you were quickly chased away further. Her German was at best mediocre and her knowledge, the constant phone calls did not contribute to the success of the tour. Not all programme items were met.

Wonderful cultural experience

It was a wonderful experience! Everything went for the best! My partner and I left at 3:40 from our Resort in a private, air-conditioned car. Our driver drives really very well and knows the road perfectly because, he explained, every day he makes that route up to Luxor... So fear not! For the duration of the trip, the driver was always ready with the car to take us from one site to another. He was always punctual and the return trip went well too. In Luxor, our private guide, Magdalene, was waiting for us. She is a really experienced and professional archaeologist and Egyptologist. He explained so many interesting and passionate things. She is also very nice and kind! Without our expert guide, this visit would not have made sense! I think it is extremely important not only to look, but also to understand the wonders and history behind the monuments and remains of ancient Egypt. The trip to the felucca on the Nile was also delicious! I recommend this experience to everyone!

Amazing experience!

It was a wonderful experience! Everything went smoothly! My partner and I left at 3:40 a.m. from our resort in a private, air-conditioned car. Our driver drives really well and knows the route perfectly because, he explained to us, he takes that route to Luxor every day... So have no fear! Throughout the trip, the driver was always ready with the car to take us from one site to another. He was always on time, and the return trip also went well. In Luxor our private guide, Maddalena, was waiting for us. She is a really knowledgeable and professional archaeologist and Egyptologist. She really explained so many interesting and passionate things to us. She is also very nice and kind! Without our expert guide, this visit would have been meaningless! I think it is extremely important not only to look, but also to understand the wonders and history behind the monuments and remains of ancient Egypt. The felucca ride on the Nile was also delightful! I recommend this experience to everyone!

Ahmed Elsisi Highly recommended !

We had an amazing tour today with Ahmed Elsisi! He walked us through what we were going to see and had loads of fun and helpful information about the history of the tombs/temples. He let us chose what we did and didn’t want to see, and let us know how much time we should be spending in each space. It was a very fun and educational experience and i would HIGHLY recommend! Thank you Ahmed for an amazing day i will not soon forget! :)

A great day in the Egyptian Sun

We’ve had a great day! Ahmed Elsisi was a great guide and photographer. My one (minor) complaint is that our cruise down the Nile was on a motor-boat, not a felucca, but a Nike cruise is still a Nile cruise. I will highly recommend this in the future.

Incredible day with Legacy tours

We had a wonderful tour of Luxor. Our Egyptologist Ahmed Elsisi was friendly, funny and very knowledgable. We started with a hot air balloon ride which was unforgettable. We had a great time exploring the valley of the kings and learning about the Pharaohs. The highlight was Habu temple which is absolutely incredible. I had a fantastic time and would recommend Legacy tours to friends and family. Thank you to Ahmed and our driver Mohammad who made this day so amazing!

Fantastic day out with a highly knowledgeable tour guide

We had a fantastic day trip to Luxor with a private car journey and a very knowledge and interesting tour guide, Ahmed. Not only was he full of fascinating information but also doubled up as our private photographer to capture the memories of the day, he was brilliant! We managed to see and do so much with the driver always on hand to transport us to our next destination. Would highly recommend this trip. *Make sure to take small change and hand sanitiser as the public toilets in the tourist destinations require payment and don’t always have soap!
