A day in Luxor.
Marian was a terrific guide. She was very knowledgeable and told us lots of history about the kings and their families. She told us the history of each place we visited and made it very interesting. We started out as strangers and left as friends. I would highly recommend this tour.

Well-spent time and money
Fantastic tour. Dina is an excellent guide. She scheduled our tour in such a way as to avoid the crowds at each spot. She picked me up at the Luxor airport, and we headed straight to the west bank of the Nile to visit the temple of Queen Hatshepsut, and then to the Valley of the Kings. Dina shared fascinating insights about the motivations behind the design and construction of each temple and each tomb, as well as the reasons why some of the cartouches and statues had been defaced or destroyed, which illustrates how human nature has not changed in all these thousands of years!
For lunch, we took a boat to Banana Island, which is along the migration path of several migratory birds, so it is a great spot for birdwatching. For lunch, we had a delicious Hamam Mahshi and molokhia.
After lunch, we headed over to the east bank of the Nile to visit Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple, as Dina continued to share insights about the design, construction, and modification of the temples.
Overall, this tour is time and money well spent!

Ask for Dina!!!! Best tour guide hands down
Dina, our tour guide, was amazing! So much history. We learned a lot and was thrilled with her. If you have time, Luxor is a must!

Great for traveling alone
Excellent tour guide who customized the trip to meet my needs! He was beyond competent, had great suggestions, and made a wonderful travel companion as I was traveling alone. Felt completely safe and well looked after. Couldn't have asked for better!

Amazing trip back to Ancient Egyptian times
This was a great trip to experience all the history and culture that Luxor has to offer. I was also lucky enough to have Dina as my tour guide who was super knowledgeable, friendly and kind, and was eager to answer all my questions! Having a good tour guide always makes or breaks these kind of tours, for me (less so what we actually end up visiting).
I got the full package with flights and tickets. When I looked myself at the prices, I don’t think I could have managed a much cheaper flight. Plus you don’t have the hassle with booking one.
Pick up was 3:30am from my hotel in 6th of October city which was GBP 20 extra (in cash). Driver was on time. Flight was at 6am.
I was greeted in Luxor by Dina and we went on to visit Hatshepsut Temple, Valley of Kings, Colossi of Memnon and finished at the Karnak Temple.
I don’t want to spoil too much about each site but just recommend to visit the Seti tomb in the Valley of Kings as it was the most beautiful one. But it costs EGP 1,400 extra at entry. Tutankhamun’s tomb also costs extra but is not really worth it in comparison, so don’t expect too much or you might be disappointed. The one benefit of it is that they have his mummy in a glass chamber on display.
After the Hatshepsut Temple we also visited a local souvenir shop where they first explain and show you how they make the various items you can buy there. I guess these kind of visits are a staple when it comes to tours (no matter what tour you do or how much you pay) but at least they didn’t make me feel like I had to buy something (which I had experienced at other tours during my travels). And maybe there is something nice you might want to pick up. Just remember to haggle for at least 20%!

Best day in Luxor
A once in a lifetime day. I had the pleasure of being shown around Luxor by the most incredible guide Dina and driver Mina.
As a solo traveller, they both ensured my short time was as best as it could be. It was nice to have a friendly face waiting for me at the airport to start my day. Dina was incredibly kind and very knowledgeable as we toured all the sites. She is an amazing person and really made the day quite memorable!
If your hesitant about travelling to Egypt, please come and visit to see how beautiful the historic sites and local people are here. Dina and Mina ensured my trip was safe and tailed to my liking. I can’t thank them both enough.

Luxor All in a Day
Great tour! Everything was smooth and easy if you’re after seeing Luxor all in a day from Cairo. Clear communication in hotel and airport pick ups. Option of the Aladdin Banana restaurant was a great lunch and location! I got the chicken and my husband got the beef tagine. Thanks Remon for an amazing day.
