Luxor Day Trip
Enjoyable day trip to Luxor, to learn more about the city’s ancient history. Samira (Our Tour Guide) did a great job talking through said history and recommending various sites to visit. Her knowledge was invaluable and added immensely to the trip.

Privé reis naar Luxor met Legacy Tours.
Ik heb een last minute dagtrip geboekt van Sahl Hashhes naar Luxor. Het was een privéctour voor mij en mijn 15-jarige dochter en de hele ervaring van begin tot eind was onberispelijk!
Ze hebben de bevestiging binnen een paar minuten gemaild en ook alle afspraken via WhatsApp bevestigd.
Het was een vroege start om 5 uur en chauffeur Ahmed stond ons op te wachten bij de receptie. Hij zorgde voor versnaperingen (koude drankjes en snacks) en we hadden ook twee stops tijdens onze 4 uur durende lobg reis. Voertuig was schoon en comfortabel, met werkende AC.
Onze tour - gide Samira ontmoette ons aan Luxor en ze was geweldig! Zeer knap, deskundig, geduldig en vriendelijk. Ze was blij om te luisteren naar onze voorkeuren en wijzigingen aan te brengen in de geplande tour route. Haar kennis en passie voor de Egyptische geschiedenis is bewonderenswaardig.
Ze wachtte ook geduldig op gebruik terwijl we dakloze pups te eten gaven en foto's namen.
Historische bezienswaardigheden zoals Karnak Tempel, Hatshepsut Tempel, Vallei der Koningen, Tombe van Toetanchamon zijn gewoon adembenemend, zeker de lange reis en geld waard.
We hadden een lunch in traditioneel Egyptisch restaurant en het eten was erg vers en lekker. Lunch inbegrepen in de prijs van de tour, moest alleen betalen voor uour drankjes. Boottocht naar beneden tbe rivier de Nijl was een mooi gebaar en welkome pauze in het warme weer van vandaag!
Over het algemeen ben ik erg onder de indruk hoe georganiseerd en professioneel Legacy Tours zijn. We zijn van plan om terug te keren naar Egypte in de toekomst en zullen zeker weer gebruik maken van hun diensten.

AMAZING overview of ancient Egypt!! Truly amazing!
I took my mother and I to Luxor and had the most amazing and detailed explanation of ancient Egypt!!! Professor Ahmed Elsisi was the guide and Egyptologist in Luxor, and took us through easy to understand steps of how the Ancient world worked... which was truly fascinating. Each story painted the picture vividly and we couldn't be more pleased. If you are lucky enough to get him - you will NOT be disappointed!!....I would also like to say the car that picked us up was lovely - air conditioned, drivers were polite, very attentive, stopped half way for a toilet and snack break and Hamada in particular even gifted me local mangos which is amazing... also upon our request Hamada stopped as we saw it on the way back. Everyone today was super attentive. The only con I'd say is June is very hot but don't let this put you off!!! Just take LOTS of water with you and be prepared for a lot of walking. Also even though the shops will try to sell, just be tactful and only get what you want. We should try to support the tourism economy so be fair when bargaining with locals - they need the money and we want the souvenirs! :) Overall, Egyptians - both ancient and current are absolutely so amazing!!! Thank you to the tour group again for a welcoming and lovely arrangement of day!
Also.... there is not ONE photo online or through any egypt based documentary that does the temples justice. When you are there in real life there is so much for the eye to see. You will be blown away. Seeing is believing!

Wonderful tour to Luxor
The day trip to Luxor with Legacy Tours was a very pleasant experience. Our driver Said was more than punctual for our 5am pickup at our hotel. He drove safely and comfortably showing great courtesy at every possible moment.
In Luxor, we met our guide, Mark Samir, an egyptologist. He was very keen on giving us as much information on the visited sites as possible (preferably in the shade) and even took a ton of pictures and videos for us. He was very kind and made our trip comfortable despite the heat.
Lunch was delicious and we got plenty of water throughout the day.
We arrived back in Hurghada shortly after 8pm.
Overall, we would recommend this tour!

A very good day out all in all
Early start 5am long drive through the desert in nice air-conditioned car. Met with our guide Samira in Luxor. Then off we went. Samira was very knowledgeable. At the Valley of the Kings visited five tombs ( 2 had to pay extra for as advertised £27 for two adults but well worth it will need a credit or debit card to pay no cash). Samira went at our pace and explained as we went. Food was nice and tasty. A bit thank you to Samira and both the drivers.
Intresting traffic to say the least.

Private Luxor day tour from Hurghada
We did a private tour of Luxor at the end of May with a 2 and 4 year old. I was a bit apprehensive about taking the boys on this trip, with them being so young, but it was an amazing day.
It was a long, hot day, but with plenty of water, sun hats, sun cream and stopping regularly for breaks, it was absolutely fine.
Our tour guide was incredible. She was so friendly and welcoming and very knowledgeable. She was great with the boys and just put us instantly at ease.
We could take things at our own pace as it was a private tour. We were never made to feel rushed.
Our driver was great as well. He took us everywhere and nothing was too much trouble.
I would highly recommend this company and this tour of Luxor. A trip we will never forget. Thank you :D

Amazing Luxor trip
Unbelievable trip even though it was quite hot. Abdul, our guide, was the best, super informative. We had 2 drivers because it was a 4 hour drive each way so they took turns. All of the attractions were excellent. Karnak was the highlight.

À faire absolument
J’ai visité Louxor en excursion privée avec le chauffeur Bomba et le guide Ismail. Dès le début, la communication avec l’agence a été excellente : ils ont toujours été réactifs et disponibles pour répondre à mes questions avant la réservation. L’organisation a été au top !
Même si la montgolfière a été annulée à cause des conditions météorologiques, une alternative a été trouvée rapidement.
Je remercie Bomba pour sa gentillesse et son professionnalisme : j’ai pu me reposer en toute tranquillité pendant le trajet — et l’avoir comme “bodyguard” haha !
Un grand merci également à Ismail, mon guide francophone, pour ses explications claires et passionnantes sur l’histoire de l’Égypte et des temples. Il a été très à l’écoute, et même photographe à ses heures !
J’ai adoré cette journée, pleine de beaux souvenirs, et surtout, j’ai été parfaitement accompagnée tout au long de l’excursion. Merci à Bomba et Ismail pour cette belle expérience !

Fantastic day trip!
Fantastic day trip from Hurghada to Luxor with Ahmed the driver and Ahmed El Sisi our guide for the day. It’s an early 5am start but Ahmed arrived on time and we began the drive. It’s a long way but there are a couple of stops where you can buy drinks, snacks and use the facilities. We started at the valley of the kings, then the temple of hapshetsut followed by the collossi of memnon with a stop at the artists alabaster workshop in between before a buffet lunch. After this we jumped on to a felucca for a scenic trip along the Nile and returned to finally visit the habou temple which was an impressive site to behold. Ahmed the guide was extremely personable, knowledgeable and full of insight, bringing history to life and describing the many statues, glyphs and carvings in great detail. After this we were on our way back to the hotel and were able to reflect on a great day which we would absolutely recommend.
Overall, the day was fantastic. If we were going to over any comments for continuous improvement or for those partaking: the car did smell a little of petrol at first which was a bit off putting at 5am but Ahmed our driver soon sorted and he also provided lots of drinks throughout the day. The cleanliness of toilets were variable with some not as clean or well equipped as others so use at your discretion. We also tipped a lot as we went round the sites so either have tips ready or be prepared to say no with no shame.
Thanks again guys!
