Ask for Layla!!
Ok. Bad parts out of the way first. This tour is advertised as small group and that is the only reason we booked this tour over other cheaper tours. What they don't tell you (until it's too late to cancel) is that the transfer from hurghada to luxor is a massive bus and takes about 6 hours each way because you have to go all round hurghada picking people up (the reason we booked a small tour was to avoid this). When you get to luxor you split into your small group. However, if you get round everything quicker than other tours - tough, you have to wait for them to finish before heading back. Also, the bus driver smoked the whole way and constantly smelling / breathing smoke made me feel sick.
Now the good part! Layla was the best tour guide I have ever had. If you book this tour - ask for her. She is so incredibly knowledgeable and taught us so much. Tour guides can't go into certain areas (such as memorial temples) but she explained everything so well that we didn't need her in there - we already knew what we were looking at, and then we could ask any questions after. She also really looked after us (it being just my friend and I, two younger women) and she told us what to do in each place to ensure we were always safe. Honestly, we were so annoyed about the bus, had it not been for Layla specifically being so good then I would have given this trip 2 stars.
Lunch was delicious. There were lots of clean toilet stops (always need €1 for these). The stop at the alabaster shop was fun and added a little something to the day. The Nile boat trip was ok - quicker than taking the car so best to take this for more time sight seeing.
Would I book this trip again? Yes - but only if Layla was my tour guide!

Assolutamente da fare
Io e il mio compagno siamo stati a Luxor qualche giorno fa. L’escursione è stata organizzata perfettamente e la nostra guida Ragab è stata molto brava e simpatica
Tutto bellissimo

Voir pour dire j'ai vue
De voir autant de monde sur les 4 sites ça stress, dommage qu'il faut le faire à pas très rapide. Peu de temps pour s'arrêter et flâner dans les boutiques. Le guides entre autre, nous les déconseilles.
Malgré avoir donné par wadzap l'adresse et non de hôtel, le chauffeur est arrivé avec 1h de retard.
Par contre, j'ai bcp apprécié l'organisation et la rapidité de réactions au message.

Trovati per caso, bellissima scoperta!
Abbiamo trascorso due giorni splendidi! I trasporti puliti, le visite bellissime, la guida super gentile, attenta, disponibile e simpatica, l’hotel pulito e molto carino dove abbiamo dormito una notte e ci siamo trovati benissimo. Un grazie al fantastico Ragab che ci ha portato a visitare i luoghi di culto in orari con temperature sopportabili non troppo afose e poca gente. Hanno organizzato questo tour alla grande, super consigliato!

Due giorni a Luxor stupendi
Se potessi darei anche 10 stelle. Tutto organizzato nei minimi dettagli, dal transfer al bus all’hotel, che personalmente ho trovato migliore del resort a Hurghada in cui stavo. La guida Ragab e l’autista personale sono stati meravigliosi e simpatici. Ci hanno sempre fatto ridere e seguito ogni secondo. Abbiamo visto le meraviglie di Luxor in orari ottimi e abbiamo avuto il tempo di rilassarci poi al Lotus Hotel con piscina vista Nilo. Il prezzo di due giorni è molto più basso rispetto altri tour operator famosi quindi consiglio vivamente di affidarsi a questi ragazzi che ci hanno fatto sentire sempre alla grande. Ah i due pranzi compresi nel prezzo in due ristorantini a buffet sono stati eccezionali. Voto 10/10

Amazing experience for the price
This was a very well organized tour that hit all the top landmarks in Luxor while providing pickup and transportation from your hotel in Hurghada. Laila was a really great tour guide who did a good job keeping us on schedule, keeping us in the shade and air conditioning as much as possible, steering us away from aggressive vendors and providing a good balance of informational talks and letting us wander on our own. Would definitely recommend! My one complaint is that the driver played a very loud movie and music on the drive back to Hurghada, which made talking and sleeping near impossible.

Uno spettacolo per gli occhi e per l' anima
E' stata una bellissima giornata, senza ritardo, tempo per visitare ascoltare la guida in italiano, tempo libero per scattare foto di questi paesaggi spettacolari. Gruppo piccolo e in minibus lo consiglio a tutti per comodita' nel viaggio è per potere ascoltare al meglio la guida e senza dovere aspettare ritardatari.
È 3 anni che vengo in Egitto e mi affido sempre a loro prenoto tranite WhatsApp e poi pago il giorno della visita.

Un giorno a luxor
Tutto organizzato nei minimi dettagli, guida simpatica e disponibile. Prezzi competitivi. Super consigliato soprattutto a coppie dinamiche in grado di auto gestirsi le escursioni

Einer der besten Erfahrungen meines Lebens.
Die Tour war einfach nur fantastisch.
Meine Freundin und Ich hatten ein kombipaket bei Book Tour Egypt gebucht. Luxor und kairo per Bus und Flugzeug. Wir wurden Morgens vom Hotel in Hurghada abgeholt und sind mit dem Bus nach luxor gefahren. Dort haben wir uns alles angeguckt, es war sehr super (Vorallem unser guide Mohammed) Man hat gemerkt dass er mit großer Begeisterung und Leidenschaft seinen Job ausführt. Am Abend wurden wir dann zum Flughafen in luxor gebracht und sind nach kairo geflogen. Dort wartete schon unser nächster Fahrer der uns zum Hotel gebracht hat, das direkt vor den Pyramiden war.(Dachterrasse mit direktem Blick auf die Pyramiden). Dort wurden wir am nächsten Morgen von unserem Fahrer und guide abgeholt. Hatten auch dort einen Wundervollen Tag mit sehr vielen Erklärungen und super eindrücken. (Auch unser dortiger Guide Hossein war super). Am Ende sind zum Flughafen gebracht worden und sind zurück nach hurghada geflogen wo wir von unserem letzten Fahrer zum hotel gefahren worden sind. Wirklich jeder Fahrer und Guide waren Pünktlich und Freundlich. Wir mussten nie warten. Meine Erfahrung mit Book Tour Egypt war sehr gut. Sie sind sehr gut organisiert. Meine Freundin und ich können sie wirklich weiterempfehlen.
