Luxor Ancient Egyptian Sites
Extraordinary private tour with Egyptian historian, Khalid, who was well spoken and extremely knowledgeable of ancient history, culture, and legendary stories. A remarkable full day visiting a variety of impressive world archeological historical sites with ease of access and transfer by private car and private boat saving time and offering a more enjoyable experience. Authentic Egyptian luncheon overlooking the Niles and sunset stroll at famous Luxor row of sphinxes.

Luxor tour
We took several tours in Egypt and this tour, guided by Mr Khalid was the best. He was the most knowledgeable and professional guide we had. We would highly recommend asking foe him by name if looking for a tour in Luxor.

Fantastic Guide for the Temples and Tombs of Luxor
There are a lot of companies out there that do roughly the same tour and it can be hard to pick between them. Pick this one. :) This is a private tour with your own driver and guide. While there is a set list of destinations, there was plenty of flexibility in how long we wanted to spend at each location. No rush, and no mob of strangers trying to follow the guide around.
Our guide, Abdul, was fabulous. He was both knowledgeable and passionate about the sites and their history. He grew up in the area and shared so much information with us. The sites are absolutely incredible and it was wonderful having someone who could answer all of our random questions. There are very few signs to read at these sites so if you want to understand what you are looking at, you need to hire someone. It was such a neat experience to have Abdul explain the story behind the pictures on the walls, then go into tombs and find those exact pictures inside and understand their significance.
The driver was safe. The van was clean (with seatbelts!). The lunch was amazing and at an excellent restaurant, Africa Garden. There was one shopping stop at an alabaster shop but no pressure to buy. We had a wonderful day and greatly appreciated our time with Abdul.

Spectacular sites
All sites were spectacular! Our guide provided the historical background which made the trip that much more meaningful. Strongly recommend this tour. Avoid anyone wanting to take your photo or provide you special access to areas.

Perfect day with Mahmoud Haggag
Yesterday my daughter and I had a very beautiful trip to the valley of kings with our professional guide Mahmoud.
The tour was very impressing and Mahmoud explained all the history in a very, very good way. He took his time with us and we were very happy. We only can recommend this tour guide and we will keep the contact for the next time we come to Egypt.
Very well organized and professionel.

An unforgettable experience
Rajab made our stay in Cairo unforgettable. Despite our tight schedule, he made sure that we could both do a luxor tour and hot air balloon before catching our bus!
The food for lunch was delicious!
Special mention for our afternoon guide Akhenaten, who gave us thourough explanations while visiting Karnak and Luxor temples
Would definitely recommend them eyes closed !

A Highly Recommended 5 Star Experience.
This tour met and totally exceeded expectation.
Our guide, Khalid Eltayeb, an Egyptologist graduate with a Masters Degree, is exceedingly knowledgeable. In fact, a walking encyclopaedia! He set the scene from the moment our tour began and we had context from which he gave us an abundance of information at each historical site.
With an excellent command of English and storytelling skills Khalid was engaging throughout the entire day. Khalid was friendly but also very professional and struck a good balance in this respect.
The air conditioned vehicle was very comfortable and much welcomed and our driver Ramadan, was very pleasant and helpful; also kindly buying water for us.
Not only did we visit the designated sites but we enjoyed an amazing lunch at a local restaurant; an unexpected ride in a boat to cross the Nile and a visit to a family-run stone masonry business with a vast range of beautifully crafted ornaments.
We had an amazing day and would definitely use Khalid again. Thank you!

Excellent day...we saw so much and learn so much due to our guide Hamdy Gad deep knowledge of ancient Egypt history. Karnak and Luxor temple incredible as well as valley of the kings and Hatshepsut temple. Our lunch was perfect and boat ride across the Nile a great treat. Many thanks to our driver too, that made our journey enjoyable.
We highly recommend this tour to everybody visiting Luxor.

Saved my Faith in Egypt
A must do with a guide who is so knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating! After a terrible experience in Cairo, this tour made the quick trip to Luxor so much more worth it! Highly recommend over anything Cairo has to offer

Sites were great but not the guide
While I enjoyed the sites of interest and suggest touring these sites, I cannot promote this tour company or our tour guide, Rajab. We were led to expect a sunrise balloon ride, but were picked up late so we missed the sunrise.
The other issues mostly had to do with the tour guide. Rajab explained the sites outside then he sent us inside alone to wonder through ourselves. The other tour guides accompanied their group to explain sites as people were seeing them rather than ask if we have questions after we returned from the sites.
Also, our guide told us there was nothing to see in King Tut's tomb, but his mummy is there to see. I would have been so upset if I had missed seeing that.
Honestly, we felt like the guide just didn't want to be there. He walked way ahead of us most of the time and was not personable like the other guides we had on other tours.
They also charged us $20 each more than what is stated on the website for the balloon ride.
So, see these sites, but try to get a better company and guide.
