Long drive to Luxor from Cairo - still worth it
We originally booked a day tour to Luxor from Cairo without flight, but unfortunately, the flights were sold out. The tour company was very accommodating and offered to drive us to Luxor instead—a long 7-hour drive each way. Our driver, an older gentleman, was incredibly kind and courteous, making the long journey much more comfortable for us.
Once we arrived in Luxor, the experience started off a bit rough. Our tour guide, Reman, seemed like he might have been having a tough day. While he was knowledgeable about the history and the sites, his attitude came across as grumpy, and he didn’t engage much in the beginning. After about 3.5 hours, he told us the tour was over but offered a Nile lunch cruise for an extra fee. We felt a bit rushed and disappointed at that point.
To his credit, when we asked to visit another temple, Roman did extend the tour by another hour and a half. And of course, the sites themselves were absolutely breathtaking—Luxor is rich in history and visually stunning.
Overall, while the logistics and sites were fantastic, the guide experience could have been better. Still, we’re grateful for the tour company’s flexibility and our kind driver, who truly made the trip easier.

Amazing Experience
Luxor was amazing (and crazy hot), our driver and flight were on time. The guide took us to all the main sights, from the Temple to the tombs. Although guides are not allowed inside the tombs, we went in and saw the colorful wall hieroglyphs. Also saw the temple.

Once-in-a-lifetime
Truly remarkable tour experience with Remon. He’s not only highly knowledgeable, he is also friendly and approachable.
He’s also very flexible when curating personalised experiences - cannot recommend him and this business more!

Journée incroyable à Louxor avec notre guide Dina
Dina est la meilleure ! Nous l'avons choisie en fonction des commentaires d'autres voyageurs, et elle a certainement répondu à nos attentes. Nous avons passé une journée incroyable à explorer les merveilles de Louxor. Dina est incroyablement bien informée et facile à s'entendre avec. Notre transport était propre et confortable, et notre chauffeur était un gentil monsieur. Le déjeuner au restaurant Banana Island en valait vraiment le coût. Beaucoup d'idées fausses que nous avions sur les voyages en Égypte ont été levées. Nous avons découvert que l'Égypte est une destination sûre pour les Américains. Il est également important de se rappeler qu'il est culturellement courant de basculer plus bas - les travailleurs salariés.
Quelque chose que j'aimerais savoir ou faire différemment: Les excursions secondaires dans les magasins locaux peuvent prendre beaucoup de temps. J'aimerais les raccourcir pour gagner plus de temps pour explorer les trésors antiques de Louxor.
Dans l'ensemble, nous avons eu une journée incroyable et sommes arrivés à l'aéroport juste à temps pour un enregistrement confortable - po. Le vol était correct et nous sommes rentrés au Caire à temps pour manger de la délicieuse cuisine de rue à Al Agha qui a l'un des meilleurs shawarma de la ville - donc on me dit.

Day Trip: Cairo -> Luxor -> Cairo
Hesham was very helpful organizing our flights, car pick up, travel, tour, etc. He’s been doing it for 20+ years so trust him 👍
We left 4am, 6am flight, arrived in Luxor 7am, finished tour around 2pm. We opted to not do any “extra tours” as it was very hot.
Remon was a very good guide (also tour guide for 20+ years). Very knowledgeable and accommodating. In particular, since our Cairo return flight was not until 8pm, he took us to a nice hotel where we got a room and went swimming.
Overall great day!

The Highlight of My Trip to Egypt!
I was fortunate enough to book this day trip in Luxor - it has been the highlight of my Egypt trip! Maret was my guide and she was beyond fantastic - knowledgeable, beyond friendly, genuine, and an absolute pro! She expertly guided me through the best spots in Luxor - Karnak Temple, Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, Colossi of Memnon, and Luxor Temple all in 1 day without feeling rushed or like we missed anything. Her knowledge of these sites and Egyptian history is incredible and made these sites really come alive! We also managed a nice lunch and a ride on Nile! A fantastic day! I cannot recommend this tour and Maret enough! She was AMAZING!!
