Perfect half day tour of Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut and Colossus of Memnon
We wanted to see the main highlights of the Valley of the Kings and this tour seemed to fit our requirements. I was not wrong.
Ahmed, our guide and Abdul our driver were excellent from the start.
Ahmed gave us some interesting history of the site and the tombs on our way, guided us expertly to each of the tombs we signed up to see and gave us a really good idea of the pharaoh and what the main points are depicted in the tombs, as well as information about the surrounding tombs still under excavation.
We explored each tomb ourselves, knew what to look for and enjoyed taking our time. We were not rushed, we had no time limits set on us to get back and move on. Other people around us were panicking as they only had 5 minutes to see the tomb and get back to their guide!!
We then moved on to the tomb of Hatshepsut, stopping along the way to see an artisan factory producing alabaster and marble goods, which was really interesting. We were not hassled or pressured to buy anything which was nice!
Again Ahmed gave us lots of information about Hatshepsut and her dynasty and we explored each tomb the rest of the tomb which was very different from the other Pharaohs.
Our final stop was at Colossus of Memnon, which was a brief stop but still interesting.
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour - perfect balance of history, information and awe inspiring relics. I can’t recommend both Ahmed and Abdul enough - they make a great team!

Would highly recommend Ammar for anyone wanting a knowledgeable and friendly guide.
Had a brilliant trip with Ammar yesterday. Organisation was great with Ammar picking us up on time in the hotel lobby, with a modern taxi and friendly driver.
We went straight to the sites and Ammar had the tickets ready so we were able to skip the ques. At the site Ammar suggested the best tombs to visit and gave an overview to some history of the region and the other sites we visited.
Would highly recommend Ammar for anyone wanting a knowledgeable and friendly guide.

Un'esperienza storica meditata e approfondita
La nostra guida, Muhammad, era molto esperto di storia e ha risposto alle domande in modo chiaro e riflessivo. Si è preso cura di noi durante il tour e ha fatto in modo che fossimo a nostro agio per tutto il tempo.
Al Tempio di Hatshepsut, le sue spiegazioni erano particolarmente preziose. Con calma ci ha guidato attraverso i rilievi e le incisioni murali in dettaglio, e l'esperienza non sarebbe stata la stessa senza la sua guida. Ha reso la visita molto più coinvolgente e significativa.
Nel complesso, questo tour è una buona opzione se preferisci evitare gruppi turistici di medie o grandi dimensioni e preferisci avere più interazione personale, tempo per domande individuali e un coinvolgimento più stretto con la guida. Se questa non è una priorità, potresti invece considerare di cercare un tour di gruppo. Nel nostro caso, non siamo riusciti a trovare un'opzione di gruppo adatta, quindi abbiamo scelto questa.

Great way to land in Luxor
Great experience! I highly recommend this half-day tour. We were picked up directly from the airport and headed to the Valley of the Kings. Cold water was provided for the journey, which was very much appreciated.
Ahmed Abdulteif was extremely knowledgeable from the moment he got into the vehicle. During the drive, he pointed out important locations, which made the experience both helpful and interesting. We also stopped for shopping and enjoyed a bonus limestone experience.
There’s no need to worry if you’re traveling solo — he takes the best pictures! Ahmed’s explanations of the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, and Mamnon were exceptional. He truly brought history to life, making it easy to visualize what occurred hundreds of years ago.
Book this tour and learn more about history — you won’t regret it!
Tip: comfortable shoes, hat, sun screen and a snack. There’s a lot of walking, hiking etc.

Significa per meta' giornata.
Ottima esperienza! Consiglio vivamente questo tour di mezza giornata. Siamo stati prelevati direttamente dall'aeroporto e diretti alla Valle dei Re. Per il viaggio è stata fornita acqua fredda, che è stata molto apprezzata.
Ahmed Abdulteif era estremamente informato dal momento in cui è salito sul veicolo. Durante il viaggio, ha indicato luoghi importanti, che hanno reso l'esperienza utile e interessante. Ci siamo anche fermati per lo shopping e abbiamo goduto di un'esperienza di calcare bonus.
Non c’è bisogno di preoccuparsi se si viaggia da soli – scatta le foto migliori! Le spiegazioni di Ahmed sulla Valle dei Re, il Tempio di Hatshepsut e Mamnon erano eccezionali. Ha davvero dato vita alla storia, rendendo facile visualizzare ciò che è accaduto centinaia di anni fa.
Prenota questo tour e scopri di più sulla storia — non te ne pentirai!
