Emad and Koko were great! The tour was super planned and interesting. Emad gave us many insights into the story and was extremely helpful and friendly. Also the duration of the tour was perfect for us. We started from Luxor and were travelling for about 4-5 hours, so the perfect length for a half-day tour. We can definitely recommend the tour. Thanks again to Emad and Koko!!

Our guide Noby was really fantastic. A trained Egyptologist, he knew absolutely everything about everything, the hieroglyphs, the story behind all the inscriptions, the full history of all the sites, etc. He had the answers to any questions we had. Our driver Ahmed transported as around all the sites with ease and we had a lovely minibus for just the two of us. We stopped for lunch which was also very nice. All in all a full and enjoyable day. Thank you Noby and Ahmed

Wonderful tour with a fantastic guide and driver. We learned so much about the history but Angie did it so well that we never got overwhelmed. The lunch at Carter’s house was also a welcome break and was delicious. Angie was brilliant and I’d highly recommend the tour, Angie and the lovely driver Tamer!

We did a half day west bank temple tour (karnak & luxor). The tour lasted a couple of hours and was given free time to explore both temples. Our guide Sarah was very knowledgable and extremely helpful when we discovered our pre-brought online tickets were issued on for the day of purchase not for the tour date! Thank you for sorting this out for us it was much appreciated.

Overall the tour is good for the price (driver + guide 40€ pp in two, no tickets), we saw a lot of the west bank with flexibility on what we wanted to see: in valley or kings three standard tombs + two extra (ramses 5&6 beautiful and cheap, and seti I also beautiful but really too expensive), hatshepsut temple, valley of the queens (nothing special because nefertari tomb is closed), valley of the workers and habu temple, these two were great surprises and highly recommended. Unfortunately there was no lunch because of ramadan so we just bought snacks. We liked the guide Noby who is very kind and friendly, surely he is knowledgeable but maybe he should improve a bit his english because sometimes it was hard to understand him and i he was often repeating the same things.

This guide was good. It was a shame that they rushed me to lunch and asked for tips at the end, but I think it is one of the decent ones in Egypt. Here is my own Egypt travel experience. I grew up hating Egypt, a country that I had longed to see in books and videos. Soon after arriving in Egypt, we left for Giza, but we were badly scammed around the pyramids. I was walking around relying on my GPS to see the pyramids when I was stopped by the police. You're off limits. (I found out later that we were heading for the exit) There was a taxi parked by the police and they told us to take a taxi to the entrance. When I asked the driver how much it cost, he said 300 EGP. It is about 5km to the entrance and costs 3-5 times as much as a regular Uber. I had no choice but to ride, but halfway through the drive the driver told me that there was a trial course recommended by the government and introduced me to a papyrus factory, and when I refused, he attended to show me around the pyramids by horse-drawn carriage. This was so insistent that the coachman told me that I didn't need to be alarmed because I was a friend of his (taxi driver), and he refused repeatedly, but he didn't let me go for more than half an hour. And when I got out of the taxi, I was charged 400 EGP. When I was looking for the entrance to the pyramid again, I said, 'That's the entrance, the ticket office is this way. I'm the official guide,' said the man, with the strap hanging from his neck. Perhaps because I had just arrived in Egypt and was upset by a police-related taxi scam, I had this man buy me a ticket, lead me to the entrance and finally charged me 400 EGP. Other times of year when tourists come out in large numbers, such as at airports or in front of museums, Uber requests cash payments via messages from people close to their destination, which is more than five times the full Uber rate. No matter how many times I cancel, people message me the same way. I ask for more tips when I get off the train, because there is no other way to get around. Egypt's cultural heritage is very impressive. But unfortunately, it's a dirty city, a mean-spirited human being. I don't want to come to this country again. I think there are quite a few tourists who feel like me. The Egyptian government should at least crack down on scammers roaming tourist spots. I think we are missing out on a lot of repeat tourists to make change for them.

Had a brilliant day today with Angie our guide and Tamer our driver, both were great. We visited 6 sites of interest including Valley of Kings, Valley of Queens & Hatshepsut's temple on a 7hr tour. Angie's knowledge of the sites was superb and her English is perfect so it makes everything engaging and easy to understand. All of the sites were amazing, definitely recommend paying extra to see King Tut's tomb and mummy. Merenptah's tomb was especially good as it is very deep and the sarcophagus is incredible. My favourite was Valley of the Queens as it was really peaceful and the tombs were incredibly small yet the artwork has kept most of its colour. We had plenty of time at each site and didn't feel rushed. Tamer opened the doors for us and helped us out of the car and his driving felt safe and comfortable. Highly recommend this tour with Angie and Tamer

We had an incredible private tour of the Luxor West Bank thanks to our guide Mr. Sayed Gamal and our driver Ahmed. Sayed was kind, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. He guided us through the Valley of the Kings, where we visited the extraordinary tomb of Seti I as well as the beautifully decorated tomb of Ramses V and Ramses VI. We also visited the magnificent Temple of Hatshepsut. Each of these sites was made even more meaningful and impressive through Sayed’s explanations and guidance. His ability to explain the history, symbolism, and context of what we were seeing made the experience unforgettable. Ahmed was a very professional driver who made traveling between the sites comfortable and easy. The private, tailored experience truly enriched our visit, and their recommendations were always excellent. If you are booking a Luxor West Bank tour, I highly recommend requesting Mr. Sayed Gamal and driver Ahmed.
