Best Day Trip in Egypt: Exceptional Service from Wahid & Marsa Alam Tours
We recently booked a private day trip from Marsa Alam to the Valley of the Kings with Marsa Alam Tours, and it was easily the highlight of our vacation.
The drive to Luxor is quite long, but our driver, Wahid, made the time fly by. He is an absolute professional—his driving felt very safe and smooth, and the car was spotless and cool with great AC. But more than just being a great driver, Wahid is a genuinely kind and thoughtful person. He shared so much interesting information about the local areas we passed through and made sure we were comfortable every step of the way.
The best part was the "extra mile" service. On the way back, when we were all a bit tired from the heat of the tombs, Wahid surprised us by stopping and buying us all ice cream! It was such a sweet, unexpected gesture that really showed how much he cares about his guests' experience.
If you are planning a trip to the Valley of the Kings or anywhere else in Egypt, I cannot recommend Marsa Alam Tours enough. Definitely ask for Wahid if you want a driver who treats you like family!
Pros:
Professional and safe driving.
Knowledgeable and friendly staff.
Excellent communication during booking.
Thoughtful touches (like the ice cream!) that make the trip special.

Recommended.
The trip to Luxor is highly recommended. He was well organized, the accommodation was clean, the breakfast not so great, but we also only booked the ** accommodation. Our driver was always on time and very friendly.

Thank you Marsa Alam Tours and specially Hamada and Said!
We found Marsa Alam Tours searching the internet. At first a little sceptic, but what a plessant surprise this company is! The communication after we made the booking was clear, friendly and smooth. We booked a private tour for just the two of us. On the day of the departure to Luxor the taxi driver was sharp on time for the pickup. (04.00 in the morning) We had a minivan with just us two, so we had plenty of space. (Perfect!!) Our taxi driver Hamada was a very professional and friendly driver. In 5 hours with two stops we were in Luxor and there the private guide Said was waiting for us. Hamada stayed with us the whole two days, got us fresh drinks, ice cream, some information on the way and all friendly and with professional distance. The tourguide Said was as passionate about his work as can be. He showed us around the Temples of Karnak and Luxor and led us passed the crowded cues. It showes he is doing this job for ten years now. After the temples we had a nice lunch in a local restaurant packed with locals, then you know the food must be good. And it was! We stayed the night in the Steigenberger Nile Palace. What can i say 5 star luxery, friendly staff, nice room, entertainment and good food. What do you need more. The second day we visited the Valley of the Kings. We entered the tombes and were mindblown from the overwhelming beauty. There is so much to see that it is almost too much much to take in. We finished the trip with a visit to the temple of Queen Hatshepsut. Again overwhelming beauty and you can't imagine how they could build this thousands of years ago. The 5 hours drive back with Hamada was smooth and relaxed. These two days were an experience we will never forget. Thank you Marsa Alam Tours and specially Hamada and Said!

Unforgettable trip to Luxor
Overall the trip was really beautiful and very satisfying.
The private transfer by car with driver was excellent: safe, professional and very helpful driving, with perfect English spoken.
The guide in Italian was a real added value: very prepared, with impeccable Italian, always available to adapt the program and to accommodate our requests.
The 5-star hotel in the center of Luxor was very nice, elegant and cozy, in a really convenient location.
Experience on the hot air balloon to take your breath away and very well organized.
I take a star off just because at times the organization and communications were not flawless, but it must be said that the critical issues were resolved quickly.
I still recommend the experience, because the overall quality of the trip was very high

Wonderful trip to Luxor
Everything went perfectly well. we got a very reliable driver. and a very well educated guide in Luxor who did not only show us everything but also explained what we saw. so we learned a lot and could enjoy it much more.
We also got a better hotel than we booked with a nice terrace at the Nile.
So I can really recommend doing such a trip for 2 days and choos marsa alam tours

A very special experience
Since we didn’t want to spend hours in a large coach and travel in a large group, we decided on an individual trip. Marsa Alam Tours was a very good choice for this. Booking was possible without any problems via WhatsApp, even with the method of payment we were met. The tour itself was super organized, we drove together in a minibus, the driver was very nice, in Luxor a guide was waiting. We could enjoy the two days without stress. We had chosen the 5-star hotel variant, Steigenberger directly on the Nile. Not so nice were two sales shows, one in a perfume shop, the other in an alabaster factory. But in fact, in Egypt this is part of almost all excursions. We were more than happy with the trip and can highly recommend it. A special thanks goes to Sara for the support.

A very interesting tour
Thank you for the trip, which we generally remember very well, despite the fact that, contrary to the arrangements, we received a car that was not suitable for a wheelchair user (a minivan with three steps that a disabled person could not overcome). However, the situation was saved by our driver Mohamed, who repeatedly carried my husband from the car seat to the ground and back, sometimes even alone, even though my husband weighs about 90 kilograms. He turned out to be an extremely helpful, empathetic person who was very understanding of our needs. I cannot imagine a trip without his full commitment and help, for which we thank him once again from the bottom of our hearts!

A tour to perfection provided by marsaalamtours
Organized by marsaalamtours (Ahmed). As a family, we have already had multi-day tours provided by this organization and have carried out all tours to perfection. This time to Luxor and booked by us actually on the late side . Still Ahmed managed to arrange a Dutch guide. Child-friendly guide with a lot of knowledge of Egyptian archaeology that were brought even for children in a fun and understandable way. We will definitely let the following tours take care of this organization again.

2 perfect days in Luxor
Communication with Amal via WhatsApp was very good. She put together a program exactly according to our wishes. Ahmed, our driver, was very nice, reliable and attentive. Our German-speaking guide in Luxor, Ahmed Mostafa, organized everything perfectly on site. It couldn't be better. Even the two boys, 10 and 12 years old, were completely thrilled. We would be happy to book the trip again with Marsa Alam Tours.
