Heatwave visit at the running pace
No logistical problems as a rule. Mohammed and his sidekick were good drivers. Collection of the French guide in Luxor only little cuckoo at the beginning of the day. Heatwave day nobody can do anything about it. Ashraf speaks French correctly but gave us quick general information and often left us alone to find shade and air conditioning (even more so for the afternoon visit to the karnak temple). We saw a lot of things but did not have all the explanations. The experience must be better with a more favorable temperature than 44°...

Small Group Excursion to Luxor Valley of the Kings from Hurghada
Hurghada, Egypt
Great experience
April 2025
We booked small group of day trip from Hurghada to Luxor , and picked up from our hotel by 4:50am and arrived to Luxor to meet with our guide Leila.
I was expecting to see other people in our tour group but it was only my 12 years old daughter and I.
Leila was great , she has explained each site in details also guiding us around the vendors or break /meeting points.
My daughter really enjoyed this trip , it was cultural and educational for her as she has applied her knowledge of some of the things she learnt in Cairo while visiting the Eygptian museum into practice and her and Leila had very good chat about the Eygptian history, and I believe she will not forget what she learnt on that day..
The trip is long , and it gets hot however plenty of break around the shaded areas and also the tour company provides bottle of waters in the van.
I was not very keen on Nile tour but I think that was the most I enjoyed as you get nice breeze while riding and def helps you to cool down.
Lunch menu was ok, they cater vegetarian options as well.
After lunch we went to tutankhamen tombs and others , also visited the Alabaster factory where they show how the craftsman is making unique products , they are not insisting on visitors to purchase items in the shop which is great.
There is no price on items and you need to work around the price they gave you, which hassling on the cost might not be everyone cup of tea as we are so used to live in a society where the price is attached to items..
We purchased a beautiful candle holder..
Our tour finished at 4.30pm and then we drove back to Hurghada...There are 2 drivers on each van and they were great smoothly interchanging their turns , with regular stops for confort break, Ismael and another gentleman whom I couldn't catch his name.
We felt safe during our trip and well looked after.
If you come to Luxor , I highly recommend Leila , She is an amazing person - warm welcoming and super fluent in English , she really looks after her guest like a family member.

Great tour!
The trip was beautiful. We would like to thank our tireless driver, Hassan, who met our every need. The guides in Luxor and Abu Simbel were fantastic, they showed us every single corner professionally and with great welcome. Despite the 1000 km drive everything was perfect!! Even the night spent in Luxor

Attention Multilingual tour
Attention these are mixed groups with several languages, who hopes to get in-depth explanations here can listen to everything twice. With us it was French and German

Scam ! Avoid at all costs you will go to hospital
If you are looking for a company that has no consideration then this is the company for you
The provide a false sense of security when you explain you have medication and sickness that require you to have a few extra toilet brakes, they will keep you driving for 4 hours and only stop for a break with 1 hour left to go
The lunch was provided by a restaurant called Crocodile on the Nile restaurant. The food was burnt, dry, in small portions with a salad bar infested with flies. They did change the salad but the fact remains you should not be scooping up dead bugs with your food nor should you have to shuffle food around to avoid them. We were a group of 9 of which non one could eat the food. This also included the puddings.
We were told to leave our belongings in the van only to have the van’s switched around with 3 different groups which has resulted in items going missing which has been very upsetting
As no one could eat we asked after your to stop by somewhere that would take card and was sad to eat. We asked for a well do own commercial brand or anything familiar as those that did try and taste ended up running to the toilet - instant diarrhoea
We asked and offered to pay the driver to take us and he said no and again we spoke with operator and they said no they want to keep
Money
the tour operator called us trouble makers and was rude and aggressive as they are more concerned about taking the money from us
We had a diabetic traveling that had packed snacks but not enough to miss out on a main meal! The result, ending up having to go into Egyptian hospital due to irregular blood sugars aka no food
The guide was very knowledgeable- that was the only decent part
No resolution just more and more scams , very very disappointing

Excursion to Luxor
The trip was wonderful. We were a small tour group. Our German guide Khaled was very competent and could tell us a lot about the story.
The price-performance ratio was above average. We were very satisfied and would book here again and again.

Day not to be missed!
The day went very well, the organization was very well built. In the morning we receive a whatsapp message to inform us of the arrival of the drivers. We feel safe in the van with these two drivers. We arrived in Luxor where we met our Francophone guide Hashraf. His explanations were clear, with some humor and sympathy. We did in addition, the boat tour on the Nile which is nice. All the places visited are beautiful. Thanks to Book Tour Egypt! I recommend.

A Perfect One-Day Tour of Luxor with an Amazing Guide!
This excursion was exactly what we were hoping for! We managed to see so much in just one day, and our guide, Leila, was absolutely fantastic. She explained each site in detail and shared fascinating facts that really brought the history to life. It’s definitely a whirlwind tour—Luxor is vast and awe-inspiring—but it gives you a great overview of the most significant landmarks. Leila was incredible throughout, always patient and enthusiastic, no matter how many questions we asked.
I would definitely recommend this tour and the team at Book Tour Egypt. The communication on whatsup was brilliant and we find everything very easy and affordable! Definitely recommend! *****
