Great Experience and Guide, but Lunch Could Improve
This review is for the package that included a car, guide, entry fees, and lunch. The guide and driver arrived 10 minutes early and kindly waited for us. The driver was very polite and professional throughout the day.
Our guide, Omar, was a proud Egyptian who shared a wealth of knowledge during the drive and at each site. At Karnak Temple, he walked with us, explained the history, and pointed out significant features. Next, we visited the Valley of the Kings, where we entered three chambers. Omar encouraged us to explore freely and ask any questions afterward. I do wish he had accompanied us inside, as I had several questions that would have been easier to ask on the spot, though he did answer the questions I remembered later.
At Hatshepsut Temple, he provided explanation of its history during the drive, and once there, he again gave us the freedom to explore at our own pace. Lunch followed, which is the reason I’m giving a 4-star rating. The restaurant staff were extremely friendly, but unfortunately, the food quality could have been better—the chicken thighs were quite dry and tasted reheated rather than freshly cooked. We did, however, enjoy a relaxed meal with ample time and even ordered coffee (for an extra charge).
Our final stop was Luxor Temple, where Omar accompanied us again, offering insights and historical context. At every site, he allowed us plenty of time—about 25–30 minutes—to take photos and enjoy the surroundings.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience with excellent organization and an informative guide; only the lunch fell short of expectations.

Meh tour
My guide was friendly, sometimes a bit too friendly for a solo female traveller. I had a difficult time understanding him at some parts, so the storytelling wasn’t as engaging.
I was taken to 3 shopping stops that were not requested. We stopped at an essential oil place, a papyrus place and an alabaster shop. They were all very good sales peoples but I definitely overpaid, cause I trusted my guide.I was disappointed to search up the shops afterwards, and read bad reviews from customers like me that had felt scammed. Do not buy anything from your tour guide stops. The pressure is intense, but stay strong. Your guides get commission from the shops they take you to and it’s much much cheaper at Khan el Khalil.
It was a fine tour, and a long day, but overall average experience.

Family private tour with amazing guide
As a family of four, with two 9 year olds we thoroughly enjoyed this tour with our guide Ahmed Kassem. He was very knowledgeable and accommodating to all our requests and especially considerate of the children. We saw everything included as advertised with an appropriate length of time dedicated. Having a native language guide was very convenient and helped. This private tour is highly recommended for those who are wishing to see it all on a limited time frame as we felt we didn’t miss out on anything in beautiful Luxor. We had a driver who accompanied us for the day which made transiting and access to all the attractions extremely easy and all of our tickets were pre purchased by our guide. Thankyou Ahmed - we will be recommending your expertise to our friends and family for when they visit Egypt

Organizzazione scarsa
Ho prenotato quella dopo la alba perché c'era scritto che si andava più tardi , invece di partire alle 4,30 , si partiva alle 5,30 dal hotel
Dopo aver fatto vari giri per recuperare altre persone , ci hanno fatto stare nel piazzale ad aspettare che arrivasse la mongolfiera fino alle 7,15 assurdo !
In hotel rientrati alle 9,30 , perdendo per poco la colazione !

Great private tour if Luxor
Salwa gave a well paced tour for our private group. She spoke great English so that it was very easy to understand the vast amount of information. She was also very good at taking photos which is important to me. 🤣

Not great but cheap
Included pick up and guide. Had to wait nearly an hour because the driver parked and had no signal. Guide didn’t want to walk with us much gave us some info before we went in, pretty rushed though, then asked us to tip him where the driver couldn’t see so he doesn’t need to share which is pretty dog. Cheap though.

Good Trip
It's a good company. The driver and the trip was well coordinated. We booked the day trip along with the guide and we are really unsatisfied with the guide. She kept reading the information boards near the tombs and some random wiki knowledge. A lot of misinformation too so I would definitely recommend the trip but without a guide.

なんとも言えない。
年末なのでどこの訪問先も混雑していました。2ヶ所目のTemple of Hatshepsutが驚く程混んでいたので 午後に予定していたルクソール神殿を諦めて カルナック神殿のみにしました。時間も余裕があったこともあり ゆっくり回っていたら 中で食事もとると伝えてあったのに『どうしてる？』とか『あと何分で終わる』とか何度も連絡があり 急かされている様で良い気分ではなかったです。結局 早めに空港に行ったので 飛行機まで大分長く待つことになりました。また 空港に入るのに料金がかかるからか、空港敷地外で降ろされ 結構な距離歩きました。自分が良いドライバーだったか聞かれ、良いドライバーなら口コミに書けと。そこで初めて名乗った人に 良い印象は、ないですよね。
