One day in Luxor by plane from Cairo
We ended a three week vacation finishing up in Egypt. We wanted to see the pyramids but valley of the kings and Luxor was very appealing to us this tour gave us that opportunity, leaving early in the morning from the Cairo airport and flying to Luxor returning that night
Our tour guide was Maret. She was spectacular. If you are lucky enough to have her you will experience more than you can imagine during the day my wife and I could not be more thrilled with how it played out. We saw more sites than we knew existed and Merat was the most knowledgeable tour guide I think we have ever had.
If you’re planning to visit Egypt and the pyramids in particular, make sure you set one day aside and take this tour to Luxor

Wonderful and Productive Day in Luxor
We had a very productive and memorable day exploring Luxor. We visited the Luxor Temple, the Valley of the Kings, and several other historic sites. A special highlight was visiting Tutankhamun’s tomb — it was a dream come true for my mom, and seeing it in person was truly unforgettable.
Our guide was knowledgeable and helpful throughout the day, making sure we got the most out of each stop.
Had an amazing lunch on my own at a great local Egyptian restaurant in Luxor — honestly the best meal of my entire trip!
Overall, a great experience packed with history, culture, and unforgettable moments. Highly recommend!

Good day trip from Cairo to Luxor and back
All in all a very good trip. It was well organized and we saw everything we wanted to see. The driver was on time even with the flight to Luxor being unexpectedly moved up in time. The driver and guide were waiting for us at the airport and we started the tour right off. First we went to the colossus statues then we went to the temple of Hatshepsut which was awesome. There was hardly anyone there and it was early so it was not hot. The guide Dina knew a lot and pointed out many interesting facts. Afterwards we made a stop at an Alabaster work shop and watched how it was made and of course they wanted us to buy something but we looked at the stuff which was cool but decided not to. Next we went to the valley of the kings which was a really cool experience. Afterwards we went to lunch at Banana island restaurant via boat which was nice. Good food, nice to sail on the Nile but it was an extra fee of $40 per person for food and boat ride. This was an option though, we just preferred this over the included sandwich. Next we went to the Karnak Temple complex which was amazing. Not many people there, a bit hot but it was July. Next we went to the Temple of Luxor which was great. Not many people. Afterwards we finished quite early. My wife and I are fit and in our 30s and moved a little fast so perhaps we could’ve taken our time more at all the stops and finished later but that was okay. We had our fill and took many pictures. All in the the tour was great. Dina was a very kinda and intelligent guide and took many pictures for us and taught us a lot. She spoke fluent English and was very professional. She kept the vendors off of us and the scammers at the sights. She was great and the driver was great too. Since we finished early (3:30pm) she dropped us off at a nice Cafe where hardly anyone was at, nice view of the Luxor Temple and cheap drinks where we waited a few hours before our driver came back and took us to the Airport (around 6:30pm) Flight was on time (9:10) and we landed back in Cairo at 10:30pm. I do wish the company had us on an earlier flight but it’s okay. The only unfortunate thing was the return driver and guide who were very nice got lost in the way back to our hotel. We stayed at the Marriott Mena House Hotel which is about 1 hour drive from the airport with traffic. We were almost to the hotel but they missed a turn which added an extra hour to the drive so it took us 2 hours to get back to our hotel. It was unfortunate and I understand things happen. We got back to our hotel at 1 am. Over all a great experience the main thing I was annoyed with is the manager with bug you constantly about other tours and with message you often. Though very helpful with communicating the plan of the day, flights and making sure I write a review, etc. It can be a bit much. I understand though, they are just trying to promote their business. Overall my wife and I had a great time and got to experience a taste of Luxor for a day and we would say it is worth it and would recommend it.

Dina - Tour Guide
Dina took us to Karnak Temple, Valley of Kings, Luxor Temple and Hatchepsuit Temple. Every location we went to, she made sure we knew every detail and story behind all the history. Although the weather was hot, Dina was constantly checking in on us offering us cold water and umbrellas. She truly made our family's experience in Luxor a memorable one. From the moment she picked us up from the airport she had a huge smile on her face!! She has a very kind and uplifting spirit and her knowledge is amazing! Any questions we had she gave us detailed answers. We are going to be leaving Luxor with many stories and new facts to tell our family and friends back home.
I highly recommend Dina for any of your travel inquiries and will continue recommending her. Thank you a lot Dina!! We are very grateful for this experience.

Ask for Maichael and Mohareb as your tour guys!
I decided to take this tour at the very last minute. It was the best decision I made. I travel with my mom and my sister. We got constantly notifications via texts informing about everything. When we got to Luxor, Maichael was waiting for us outside the airport. He is so kind, informative and an excellent tour guide. Mr. Mohareb, was in charge of driving us everywhere we needed to go. He is also very kind and attentive. I highly recommend you ask for both of them as your tour guide and driver around Luxor!

The Only Thing Cooler than Karnak is Dina
Our tour guide, Dina, was phenomenal. I told her I wanted to see the sites that were hard to find and tucked away and she constantly delivered. From showing us ancient graffiti at a temple to helping us find cool spots to photograph. It will be hard to beat the food choice she gave us. I loved it.

Ottimo tour - Altamente consigliato
Questo è stato un tour ECCEZIONALE. Tutto è andato senza problemi dal nostro pick-up in hotel, ai nostri voli, all'incontro con la nostra guida Dina all'aeroporto di Luxor. La logistica era semplice e facile da seguire. C'era grande comunicazione da parte della compagnia di tour nei giorni precedenti. Oggi abbiamo vissuto più di quanto ci aspettassimo. La nostra guida turistica, Dina, è stata eccezionale. Lei era così cordiale, attento alle nostre esigenze e desideri, e incredibilmente ben informato. Se hai la possibilità di richiedere Dina come guida, ti consiglio vivamente di farlo. Lei è un tesoro per questa compagnia di tour
