Day trip to Luxor
A trip to Egypt wouldn’t be complete without a day trip, at least, to Luxor. The transportation from our hotel to the Cairo airport and back could have been better but it didn’t deter from the trip. Once arriving in Luxor everything was flawless. Remon was an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable and made sure we had enough free time while also keeping us on schedule. I would recommend this tour.

Educational and enjoyable!
Our guide Remon was so knowledgeable and spoke clearly and loudly. He made Luxor so easy to understand!

Expected more value for the money
Let me start with what worked well on our one-day visit to Luxor. The guide (Maichael) was very friendly and engaging -- imparted knowledge and interesting insights into the history and culture, as one would expect. The driver was punctual with all pick-ups, transported us safely and comfortably throughout the day. Each of them warranted 5 stars apiece. We would have no hesitation working with them again, in other words. Now, for what should have -- and could have -- gone much better:
We purchased a one-day, all-inclusive tour for nearly $600 per person. And yet, we only had one bottle of water provided per person for the entire day in 45+ C heat. There are also the extra costs: Valley of the Kings should not be missed, but it is disappointing to learn, only upon arrival, that to visit any of the really popular tombs (Tutankhamen, Seti I), then one must pay extra. The same goes for lunch, which is included for the price option we paid. Only during the tour itself were we informed that, if we wanted to go to a sit-down restaurant/cafe, then it would be extra -- otherwise it would have to be takeaway (again, draw your attention to the 45+ C heat). We ended up eating lunch in the car on the way which was very uncomfortable and unnecessary for the price we paid.
Another disappointing surprise is that the tour wrapped up at 4pm (our flight coming in was delayed by one hour, otherwise the tour would have been finished at 3pm, providing for even more time we would have to fill ourselves). Our flight back was not until after 9:00 pm; so we were caught of guard when we were asked where to drop us of at 4pm. For example, at minimum cost, the tour could have handed us off to a boat operator to go out on the Nile River for a couple of hours. Five hours of sitting around trying to figure out what to do when we purchased an all-day, all-inclusive package was disappointing. This is the responsibility of the tour operator/organizer to plan the day in a way that is productive for the money paid. This brings us to the next and last point that was raised by at other reviewers: the organizer's communication style is extremely pushy and aggressive, even by the standards we experienced with other operators in Egypt. Hesham Egypt Tours would be better served by focusing on delivering a higher-quality experience to the customers they have already booked rather than constantly trying to sell additional tours. Too often, the emphasis on generating more business comes at the expense of the quality and value of the tours already being provided, leaving customers feeling that they did not receive good value for the money they paid.
In conclusion, Luxor's magnificent sites are not to be missed if one can fit it into their visit to Egypt. We will never forget the sense of awe and wonder we experienced, and we are grateful for the good efforts of both the guide and driver. We strongly suggest the operator focus on providing clear information at the outset, so that expectations are met and disappointing surprises are avoided -- precisely because they can be avoided.

Maret was a great guide with very in depth knowledge of ancient Egyptian culture and all there is to see and do in Luxor, I spent two days with her and she made sure everything was exactly how I wanted
Private pickup and taxi to and from airport and hotel every day!

ガイドのディナは...
ガイドのディナはエジプトの宝石です!ルクソールは、夫と私がエジプト旅行で本当にハイライトでした。Dinaはここでの歴史の大きなエネルギーと情熱を持っています-そして、私は本当に彼女が提供した観光スポットですべての情報と自由な時間に感謝しました!チケットを用意してくれたり、傘で日よけを貸してくれたり、親切にもしてくれました!一日が忙しく、暑い中、費やされた1秒1ドルの価値はそれを越えていました!安心感があり、とても楽しかったです!エジプトに戻ることがあれば、このツアーをまた必ずやりたいです。スムーズで美しく、勉強になりました。ディナもルクソールも大好きだった!5つ星以上の評価はできませんが、できれば!ドライバーも清潔でスムーズでした。
