Overall, a very nice day
It was an overall very nice day. The pickup went smoothly. In Luxor, Mark, the archaeologist, joined us and accompanied us throughout the entire day. He provided us with many explanations and also some tips on how to best deal with the local merchants. We really enjoyed it.

Incredible Tour of the Valkey of the Kings
Best birthday ever!
Can’t fault the trip, Prof. Ahmed Elsisi was incredibly knowledgeable and well respected by other guides. He explained everything to us, giving us time to explore the tombs, including the extra one for Tutankhamen. They are so well preserved and the history is incredible. We also visited two temples, one for Ramses III and Hatshepsut who was the only female Pharaoh. Here you could learn more about their lives. As it was my birthday Ahmed arranged for me to have a personalised obelisk as well as a beautiful chocolate, cream and fruit birthday cake on the Nile boat trip.
Shout out to the driver who was polite, helpful and ensured our journey was comfortable.
What a fabulous way to spend my birthday! Thank you Ahmed for making it so special!

Absolutely recommendable private day tour to Luxor.
We booked a private day tour from Hurghada to Luxor for four people through Tripadvisor with Legacy Tour and can recommend it without reservation.
We were picked up at our hotel promptly at 4:30 AM. After about a four-hour drive through the impressive desert landscape with several breaks, we reached Luxor. There, our German-speaking guide Osama was already waiting for us at the Karnak Temple.
Right from the start, he gave us valuable tips on how to deal with the sometimes very pushy vendors. Afterward, he guided us through the impressive temple complex and explained the history of Ancient Egypt in excellent English. Since we are not Egyptologists, he conveyed the historical contexts in a very understandable and interesting manner.
After the temple visit, we spontaneously decided to extend the Nile cruise by an hour for a small additional fee and visit Banana Island. The island, with its banana plantation and small zoo, is also frequented by many locals and provided a nice insight into local life. On the way back, we were able to enjoy the fresh fruits that Osama had organized for us.
On the other bank, our drivers were already waiting to take us to the next sightseeing location. Instead of the originally announced Hatshepsut Temple, we visited the Temple of Medinet Habu. This impressive complex was significantly less crowded, thus offering a much more pleasant and authentic experience. After further exciting explanations from Osama, we continued to the Valley of the Kings, where we were able to visit several impressive tombs.
Next, we visited an alabaster workshop, where the production of the artistic vessels was presented to us in an entertaining way. For lunch, Osama took us to a restaurant that is predominantly visited by locals. The food was excellent and a welcome change from the typical tourist restaurants.
After this very extensive and varied program, we began our return journey to Hurghada.
Special praise goes to our guide Osama. He perfectly tailored the tour to our wishes, explained many interesting details, and showed us places that are off the usual tourist paths. Thanks to his competence, friendly demeanor, and extensive knowledge of Ancient Egypt, this trip became an unforgettable experience.
Many thanks to Osama and the entire team from Legacy Tour. Anyone who wants to experience Luxor individually, relaxed, and with an excellent German-speaking guide is exactly right here.

Privat Trip to Luxor
We were looked after throughout the day by Osama Mohawes, who guided us excellently. All our questions were answered perfectly. We enjoyed the experience very much and can highly recommend this excursion to everyone. Unfortunately, the vehicle was anything but luxurious. Although there were only four of us in the car, it was nothing special; I would have expected something better in this regard.

Prof. Ahmed Elsisi guides our family in Luxor
We had Professor Ahmed Elsisi as our guide and he was a fun and charismatic guide. He was particularly good with the children and explained the history through many stories to make it come alive for them.

Valley of the kings and river Nile cruise.
Had an amazing day with professor Ahmed Elsisi. Our balloon ride was cancelled because of the wind but was actually a god send as we visited more tombs. He is very knowledgable but also very funny so we all had a brilliant time. Thank you very much our new friend Ahmed.

An excellent alternative to mass tourism.
An unforgettable day!
Heartfelt thanks to our competent guide Mark and to our always friendly driver Mohammed, as well as to the team from Legacy Tour, whose excellent organization and communication made everything easy and pleasant.
This excursion is a wonderful alternative to cheap mass tourism. A competent archaeologist with deep knowledge and enthusiasm, who can and wants to answer every question, and has the freedom to cater to individual wishes. With very good language skills in German, which makes a huge difference in this case - even though our English is okay - I would struggle a bit with archaeology.
The ride on the Nile is also beautiful, with the unforgettable view of the city.
Thanks to our driver Mohammed, we had a very entertaining, pleasant, and relaxing ride. We were able to learn a lot about "the land, the people, and the soul of the Egyptians."
We can absolutely recommend this experience to everyone!
P.S.: The choice of restaurant was authentically Egyptian and very good. Quality and preparation were very good. The taste was simply great!
