Really cool tour
We had a wonderful day with our tour guide Alladin.
It was only a small group and we could see many beautiful places about which Alladin told us a lot. We had plenty of time everywhere to look in peace, I can only recommend the boat tour.
Thank you for this great trip.

Best Tours in Egypt
A very nice tour with a great driver and tour guide.
The ride was very informative and fun. We had a lot of time to look and our questions were answered. Really a very nice tour.

Tour with a kid
I recommend this tour. Our guide Aladdin was so knowledgeable.. he studied 7 years for that.. which is truly remarkable!! I did my tour with my 4- year old daughter.
Congrats and keep up the good work, Aladdin!

Visite de Luxor- temple Karnak- Vallée des rois
Aladdin made our visit to Luxor an unforgettable experience. Professional, attentive, and available to answer every one of our questions. Perfectly bilingual in English and German, he led the group with great patience and teaching skills. Highly recommended! Rating: 5 stars ⭐️.
We will come back to Luxor, promise!
Thank you for everything

Amazing trip, but scammed/felt ripped off, read review! - shame, the place itself was amazing
Trip itself = amazing, loved the temple
Time in tombs too short, conned with toilets, boat and "factory" - recommend read all below...
At the time it all seemed great, other than having to pay for every single toilet break - on a 16 hour day with kids, that's a lot - picked up on time, drivers friendly.
Met tour guide Liala at first stop - Temple, the temple was stunning.
Liala was very informative and very friendly, appeared enthusiastic. She did put a lot of effort into talking with us, showing us things and lots of history.
The tombs were also great, the Nile cruise had nice views, the lunch was lovely, the drive home was fine - back in hotel for 8.30pm (itinerary says 10pm).
However...
The time in the actual main attractions were very rushed - shown around temple with Liala, then only 20 minutes free time to explore a large site and view.
Tombs - only allowed 7 minutes per tomb, which for a disabled person with slow mobility meant a "quick peep" at something she'd been waiting to see her entire life and paid £2k to go there to do it (whole trip not just this), (and only allowed to look in 3 tombs out of many) not great.
My mum was also encouraged to stay in the bus and not see the final attraction because of some walking and told not much to see - which was true about the walking, however it was definitely something to see, quite special and we suspect she just couldn't be bothered slowing down for my mum to join.
The Nile cruise was given as optional in the description - Liala did not advise this and instead said basically "this is what we're doing it's $10 dollars each and I'll collect the money" no other choice given (a couple with us, clearly did not want to do this and weren't given a choice) - children were also full price, because we were told it was a "private tour" turns out the boat owner/driver was her son - she also pushed for us to give a tip to him for the short journey up and down the Nile (I hadn't heard her say it was her son, my mum did, otherwise I absolutely would not have gone ahead with tip - he didn't even speak to us).
We were also taken to an alabasta factory, don't get me wrong it is very evident that a lot of the Egyptians work incredibly hard, with little resources, but only after being essentially tricked and fleeced into paying $40 for 2 fairly small and 2 VERY small scarab beetles - later realising they were just plaster, not alabasta, did we realise why she was telling us to "hurry past the vendors" at the actual sites and "ignore them all, just rush through" - lots of market stalls which were selling the exact same items for $1 each - she did not allow us even a minute to browse the stalls, but ushered through, preying on the fact you feel vulnerable with people approaching you (who actually were very friendly, perfectly fine and although they did do the typical "buy from me", I did not feel intimidated in the slightest, even with 2 young children) - BUT she wouldn't have got any commission if we bought from them would she...
Sad to look back on now that we were so obviously done over.
There were also several things that she emphasised were developed by the ancient Egyptians e.g. Chess and baby rattles amongst other things which I was initially suckered in by until there seemed to be a few too many that the Egyptians had miraculously developed, became suspicious, to look into them and find those 2 at least, not to be true (maybe she thinks they are, who knows).
Whilst she was very friendly with all of us, she asked several times for a kiss on the cheek from my children - one was adamantly no, my youngest who is pretty affectionate did - I guess it was just showing the children attention and being friendly, including them, which was all nice, apart from that bit which was entirely inappropriate.
We did overall enjoy the trip. The sites are unreal and definitely worth a visit, the main driver was decent and friendly, but definitely have your witts about you and not in the way that you think - not the people approaching you but the one you trust and think is doing the best for you - it's a sad thing that they seem to assume you have a lot of money and want to take it from you, when that's not necessarily the reality for us.

Lifetime trip and memories made
Went with my 11 year old daughter as a mum & daughter special trip, thought it would be educational and super memorable. We weren't disappointed!! What a fabulous day, yes its an early start, but the small group was a good idea and it all went smoothly as planned. Take lots of tip money, ask lots of questions!! Guide was good, 2 drivers for safety so they could swap, the sights were amazing and the nile cruise was defo worth it. 3 of the other tourists were frustratingly late and obnoxious throughout the trip but they handled it as well as they could. Defo recommended.

Memorable
Best parts were, the wealth of information and knowledge from our Tour Guide Aladdin. Thankyou Aladdin you made it extra memorable.
A tiring day but very worth it, so many experiences in one day..all so interesting wondeous.. would reccomend.
BTE travel were very efficient and felt looked after.
Be prepared with cash..i had none with me as our hotel cash machine was broken.
Wished I could have been more generous when faced with the many stops with local people trying to sell to us.
That part got intense at times, but its what they need to do. All good 😊

Great day out
Great day out to fit in lots of activities in one day. It’s a long day and early start but worth it! Drivers were excellent and communication before and after via Viator app and WhatsApp was reassuring for all details. Would definitely recommend.

Great day to see everything in one go
We had a great day. Yes it’s an early start, yes it’s hot and yes it’s tiring. Reading some of the reviews I’m not sure why some people don’t expect this? Our drivers were amazing and also tour guide very helpful. Plenty of drinks for all throughout. Enough toilets stops on route and back and most of all the itinerary was amazing. We opted to pay for Nile boat and is worth it. I think if you want to spend significant time in each place this isn’t or you as it’s an all in one day tour (also with the heat I wouldn’t want to spend a huge amount of time in each)! Overall I’d recommend this trip - we travelled from Hurghada and it’s a nice small tour.
