Ramashka team were great, just say no to everyone trying to sell you things at every turn!
Both our driver Ahmed and our tour guide Said were brilliant. Professional, patient and clearly wanted us to have a really good time. Drinks on the bus were also really nice! Ahmed made sure we were the first bus to arrive from Hurghada and we were very glad for it because we really got ahead of the crowds. Said answered all our questions and was flexible with what exactly we were interested in seeing. He made good recommendations along the way.
Lunch was lovely, the food was authentic and served with smiles. Only drinks at lunch and the boat ride (optional) we're extra charge. A full, fun-packed day. Lots of water, suncream and hats recommended!
You will get hassled a lot to buy things and people will pretend to give you things for free (items, taking photos for you etc) and then ask for money in return after. Just be aware before you accept their offer that they will be expecting something in return.
The alabaster shop will also hike their prices for tourists. (£25-60 per item) for us. When we said no obviously the price dropped even from the discounted. We'd recommend just going with a budget of what you think it's worth and if it doesn't match, leave it :)
Thanks again to the wonderful Ramashka team for their care and patience.

The most amazing day
This trip was amazing, super complete, super comfortable!
Ahmed the driver is the sweetest, concerned about everyone’s comfort and needs, super friendly and funny. Even stoped for one second to give everyone in the Bus some sugar cane from the plantations. Said the guide has great English and explains everything to amazing detail! Everything was just amazing, beautiful and safe. The trip in the Nile was great to cool of the hot Egyptian sun and sightseeing. Overall loved this day, I’m so glad I came
Great price for the experience!

Von Makadi nach Luxor
Eine schöne Tour nach Luxor mit Ahmed Schneider und Nermina, unseren deutschsprachigen Begleitern.
Eine Tour die man auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen kann.

Trip to Luxor
We had a fabulous trip to Luxor yesterday. The pickup is early and it is a long day but definitely worth it. The Ramashka Team look after you well throughout the day. The itinerary is very well organised giving plenty of time to enjoy all the sights. Said was a very knowledgeable guide and passionate about ancient Egypt.

A glorious day in Luxor
A truly wonderful day of making family memories. Ramashka looked after us from start to finish and made sure everything was just right for our trip. Particular thanks goes to Said the Luxor Tour Guide who was exemplary. Fully recommend.

Day of culture
A long but fantastic day out.
Managed time for 3 tomb entries at the valley of the kings.
Special thanks to our guide (Said) who made the journey so enjoyable.

Tour da non perdere assolutamente!!!
Io, mia moglie e mia figlia di 9 anni abbiamo appena concluso il tour di un giorno da Makadi a Luxor con Ramashka Tours. È stata un'esperienza bellissima, che consiglio veramente a tutti. Anche se Luxor meriterebbe di essere visitata in 2 o 3 giorni vista la ricchezza di siti archeologici presenti, grazie al nostro autista Ahmed Abdo siamo giunti prestissimo (alle 8:30 circa) al tempio di Karnak, prima che arrivassero tutti gli altri turisti. Questo ci ha consentito di visitare con calma il tempio e le tappe successive (Valle dei Re, tempio di Hashepsut e Colossi di Memnon), nonché di goderci un buon pranzo sulle rive del Nilo, di fare una mini crociera (opzionale e da pagare a parte) da una sponda all'altra del fiume e di visitare una fabbrica artigianale di alabastro. Una menzione particolare merita, inoltre, Mido, la nostra guida in lingua italiana, che è stato davvero bravissimo, gentilissimo e professionale (da 5 stelle).

Excellente visite avec ce voyaguste, à ne pas manquer.
Nous avions fait le même voyage avec un autre opérateur et la prestation était mauvaise.
Avec cet opérateur, du début jusqu'à à la fin, tout était parfait.
Le transport en minibus ou nous étions que 2 familles, l'eau à volonté , le guide, toute l'organisation.
Bus climatisé avec Wi-Fi et TV.
Le chauffeur Arhmed au top en nous prévenant également d'être prudent avec les vendeurs ambulants.
Il faut réserver sans hésiter avec les yeux fermés, rien à craindre.

Ein sehr interessanter Ausflug
Der Ausflug hat uns im Grunde ganz gut gefallen. Es sollte aber ein Insektenschutz, so wie Cappi, Hut oder Sonnenschirm mitgenommen werden. Im Tempel wimmelt es vor Fliegen was sehr störend ist.
Der Guide die uns begleitet hat war auf deutsch und auch sehr kompetent.
Im Anschluss ging es dann zum Mittagessen in ein Restaurant am Nil, wo es nur ein kleines Buffet gab, was nicht gerade heiß war aber man essen konnte.
Wir wurden dann mit dem Motorbot über den Nil gebracht, was wir mit 20 Euro zahlen mußten. Trotz der telefonischen Zusage bei der Buchung und Bezahlung von 184 Euro für 2 Personen es wäre alles inklusive.
Da ich einen Behindertenausweis habe brauchte ich überall nur einen ermäßigten Eintritt bezahlen. Der Guide ging jedesmal mit mir zum Schalter aber die Differenz zwischen ermäßigten und normalen Eintritt wollte er mir nicht zurück geben.
Wir gingen dann ins Tal der Könige. Leider war die Zeit so knapp bemessen, daß man nur schnell durch die 3 Gräber durchhetzen konnte um alles zu sehen. Da es sehr uneben ist, ist es nur bedingt für Menschen mit Einschränkungen beim Laufen.
Danach fuhren wir zu einer weiteren Tempelanlage die auch sehr schön war aber auch hier nur 30 Minuten Zeit hatte was viel zu kurz war.
Trauriger weise wurden wir überall angesprochen, es wurde versucht uns etwas aufzuquatschen und genötigt was zu kaufen. Teilweise ging es soweit das ins Portemonnaie gesehen werden wollte.
Es wurde angeboten Bilder zu machen oder sich etwas zeigen zu lassen nur um Geld verlangen zu können.
Das Alabasterhaus war zum Schluss wirklich schön anzusehen. Bis dahin wurde empfohlen nichts zu kaufen, da angeblich viel Müll dabei wäre.
Es gab im Alabasterhaus viele schöne Sachen und auch recht teuer aber es ist alles massiv und auch gute Qualität.
Danach ging es mit dem Bus wieder 4h zurück zum Hotel.

Amazing tour, book it!
We loved this tour and so happy we found it!
First off, they stuck to the itinerary and were very punctual. Our driver Ahmed picked us up exactly at the said time. We forgot to bring a breakfast box from the hotel (since it's very early) but they were kind enough to give us croissants and had 5 water bottles for each couple. Ahmed our driver made sure he got us there early before the crowds got there which turned out to be really great. Said (our tour guide) was awesome. He is so knowledgeable, very patient, respectful and honest. We didn't feel pressured at all and he took care of us. We noticed other tour guides would talk and then let the groups roam the sites themselves, but Said walked us through everything and gave so much detail. We opted for the 40 min Nile boat ride which wasn't expensive at all (varies by # of people) and it's very pretty. Lunch was good, buffet style, authentic food....don't expect steak or anything gourmet. Other reviewers complained about the food, but I don't know what you expect on a southern egypt trip....food was perfectly fine.
Yes it's a long day, but the stops are well planned out and make for a beautiful day trip!
Thanks Said & Ahmed!!
