Valley of the Kings trip Luxor
Had a great day! our guide Achmed was fabulous very knowledgeable and answered questions really well, it was lovely to be on a small tour with only 7 people total. Our drivers were also great (sorry can't remember their names) would definitely recommend this tour company!

Absolutely worth it
We had an amazing time! We booked a day trip from Marsa Alam to Luxor, quite the long ride but absolutely worth it. Our tour guide Leyla knew everything and was very engaged in showing us her favourite murals and chambers. Recommended tour!

Luxor Day Trip
Laila was very organised and knowledgeable as well as really friendly. Gave helpful tips and we felt safe and secure with her. It was a long day but well worth it. Driver was on time and got us everywhere we needed to be safely. Would recommend this tour.

Luxor Uncovered- Een perfect begeleide ervaring
We boekten een 2 daagse Cairo en Luxor reis met Book Tour of Egypt en het was echt de moeite waard. Ik beveel dit reisbureau. Wij zijn een gezin van vier samen met vier anderen in een minibusje. We begonnen onze reis vanuit Hurghada en werden rond 4 uur opgehaald : 30 van ons hotel in Makadi. Het was een reis van 4 uur. Een dag voor de reis werden we geïnformeerd over het programma voor die dag en extra activiteit als we wilden zoals de felucca rit die geen deel uitmaakt van het programma. We verbleven in een minibusje en we kregen ook gratis waterdrankjes. De chauffeurs zijn erg geduldig en lieten ons toe om te stoppen om te plassen en iets te eten. Ik zou willen dat de chauffeurs ook kunnen praten en begrijpen ook Engels, zodat het gemakkelijker voor ons om te communiceren. Er waren weinig stops langs de weg voor politiecontrole en andere controleposten die de reis langer maakten, maar het was heel ok want het was voor onze veiligheid. Toen we daar aankwamen bij Luxor ontmoetten we onze reisgids Laila. Ze is zeer goed in het Engels en heeft een zeer diepgaande kennis over de Luxor geschiedenis. Ze was zeer behulpzaam, geduldig en zorgde ervoor dat alles goed verzorgd is. Ze deed een xtra inspanning door het nemen van foto's en zeer geduldig met mijn kinderen. Ik stel voor dat reisleiders de volgende keer iets felle kleuren zouden dragen, zodat we haar makkelijker kunnen zien omdat er veel mensen en reisleiders tegelijkertijd waren. Ze nam ons eerst mee naar de Karnak tempel en daarna gingen we op een Felucca rit naar de andere kant van Luxor. We hadden ons lunchbuffet voordat we naar de Vallei der Koningen en Koningin Hatsjepsoet gingen waar we onze tour eindigden. Voordat we afscheid namen van de andere groep vergezelde ze ons en hielp ons een leuke plek om ons diner te hebben en bestelde de taxi voor ons naar het vliegveld. Het was echt een geweldige ervaring om de schoonheid van Luxor te zien.

Mixed experience, logistics generally ok, quality of guides varies. Don't book the 2 day tour, just stick with 1 day
Mixed experience, logistics generally ok, quality of guides varies. Luxor's sights and attractions are obviously amazing, and the main ones will be covered in this tour.
First day was not very good. When we arrived in Luxor after a long bus trip, we had to tell the guide Laila 3x that we needed to use the toilet. She did not introduce herself, did not ask how are we doing, although she did offer water. I would say she is more focussed on "doing her job" rather than looking after her customers. She is knowledgeable in the history/explanations but not considerate. I asked her what time we would have lunch and she said it would be 1pm, but in the end it was 2pm. We were with two other groups (Italians) who were on a one day tour.
We booked a two day tour but we had to follow the rushed timings of the one day tour until after lunch, and there was nothing more after we reach the hotel around 3pm. What is the point of the two day tour then if we have to rush like the one day tour for the first day? And then Laila spent a lot of time trying to sell us additional trips like the boat ride after lunch, banana island, Habu temple etc. she mentioned these at least 5-6 times before lunch which was very annoying. At valley of the kings she also "scolded" us for being late to meet back with the group even though she did not set a fixed time to meet, we have two young kids so naturally would be slower.
Finally after lunch, now we understand why she kept trying to sell us the additional boat ride because it is very near to the lunch restaurant, but by then our kids were very hungry around 2pm. When I enquired about the tour I was told first day would end 4-5pm, really we finished at 3pm or 2:45 if we didn't take the boat.
Second day was much better: the other guide Shady was very considerate, genuine, and much more patient in his explanations and guiding us around the various locations. Maybe it's because there are no other people. But then we were asked to pay extra £20 for a private transfer back to Hurghada, I said no need, but I didn't know they would put us on the public bus back to Hurghada (Go Bus) why is it not the big tour bus same as when we came to Luxor? Because of this we had to wait 1hr at the bus stop in Luxor and again 15 mins at the Hurghada bus station because the info about arrival time was not passed on to the driver despite me informing about it.
I would say overall the logistics are good except for the bus/transfer on the 2nd day. But the first day being rushed around on the one day schedule is very poor, and the first day guide I cannot recommend.
I understand it is a group tour, that's no problem to follow the group, but we did not know that we would be following the one-day tour timing on the first day. I thought it would be a group tour with other 2-day tour people, so that we could spend more time at each location at a more relaxed pace, otherwise what is the point of booking a 2-day tour if we still have to rush around? Overall I would not recommend a 2-day Luxor trip, stick with a 1-day (rushed) trip instead if you were to book it.

Sehr guter Führer
Alles hat reibungslos geklappt. Abholung zurückbringen. Perfekt. Der Führer war außerordentlich freundlich und hilfsbereit und hat sich sehr viel Mühe gegeben alles zu erklären und viele Rückfragen auch gerne und ausführlich beantwortet. Hervorragend. Auch das Mittagessen war gut. Auf jeden Fall zusätzlich noch die nilfahrt buchen.

Visites superbes mais organisation à revoir
Avis mitigé sur l ´organisation : nous avons été « oubliés« pour le transfert puis nous avons dû partager une voiture oùi n’y avait pas assez de places …A savoir : nous avons réservé « en petit groupe » mais la visite se fait en petit groupe uniquement à Louxor .Le transfert hurghada louxor se fait en gros bus ce qui n’était pas précisé à la réservation.
Le retour est donc très long :on perd facilement 1 h à déposer tout le monde dans chaque hôtel.
Le guide francophone à Louxor était super.
Celui du gros bus était exécrable .
Les sites sont superbes, mais cela fait une très longue journée.
