Frustrating Experience: Missed Sites and Wrong Information
I was disappointed with our tour experience. The guide did not bring us to the Valley of the Artisans, which was included in the itinerary. We only learned that we could go back when we were already downtown, and this information should have been communicated while we were still at the site so we could make an informed decision.
Additionally, unlike other guides who stay with their groups throughout the tour, our guide often left us to explore the temples and tombs on our own while he waited in a café or shaded area.
Lastly, some of the historical information provided was inaccurate. For example, when asked how long Ramses II ruled, he said 18–19 years, but according to information at Luxor Temple, Ramses II ruled for 66 years. Based on this, I do not feel Mr. Elsmaky demonstrated the expertise expected of a professional Egyptologist.

A trip highlight
Hasan Magripi was an excellent guide. He was so knowledgable and helpful with any questions we had for him. He helped us feel safe all day and was very flexible if we wanted to add anything onto our trip. I felt that it was fantastic value for money and will be calling him again when I’m back in Egypt.

Perfect in every way
Absolutely amazing day, I would definitely recommend it. Khaled is an outstanding Egyptologist. Very knowledgeable and an extremely lovely man. Worth every penny. The car was also nice and clean and the driver was lovely too xx thank you for an amazing day 🙏🏻♥️

Not worth the price
It's not worth the price really....You would expect more information from a Egyptologist Guide as stated. I found a guide outside Karnak Temple providing more information with much cheaper price

Valley of the Kings
Both driver and guide were really friendly and accommodating. The tour was smooth and pick up efficient. Our guide was really knowledgeable about the valley and answered all our questions
We had time to wander by ourselves as well.
They were happy to drop us anywhere we chose in Luxor at the end of the day

Excellent day out with Hassan around Luxorb
Hassan, our guide was very welcoming and warm. His knowledge of the sites is excellent and he was very engaging in sharing that with us. He was also able to answer all of our questions and gave us the freedom to stay as long as we wanted at each site. We all really enjoyed our day. We are tired but very happy. Thank you Hassan!

Big day out, so much antiquities
A really great full day out exploring the antiquities of Luxors West Bank. Our guide Hassan M was really attentive to our needs and gave us lots of interesting history and background to allow us to fully experience the sights. He was very flexible allowing us to adapt the tour to our preferences as well as advising on the ‘best’ or ‘best value’ options. Particular enjoyed Deirdre El-Medina, which was not even part of our tour.

Amazing Day in Luxor
Our day trip to Luxor was an absolute highlight. The Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut and the Karnak complex were stunning, but what truly made the experience exceptional was our guide Roshdy. His deep knowledge, warm personality and engaging storytelling brought every site to life. The whole tour was well organized, relaxed and incredibly informative. Highly recommended!
