Luxor trip that was professionally and thoughtfully planned
My name is Alex and we had a 10 day holiday as a family of four in Egypt in Hurghada. We booked a trip to Luxor with our friends at Memnon Reisen, which took a total of 14.5 hours. Since we were 8 people, we could book a private tour. The booking went very uncomplicated via WhatsApp, we were pleased because we had internet only in the hotel and communicated this way. We could communicate well in German and everything was explained exactly. We sent our passports by photo for the reservation and told us which hotel we are in and which room number we have. We then received a booking confirmation.
Description of the excursion: We had to get up at 4am as it started very early. My daughter complained of tiredness and that she was freezing, we thought that she was just tired and sleeping on the bus and everything would be fine. We were picked up at 5am at the hotel reception by the guide who knew good German. We had our own small bus with 2 drivers (due to the long trip) and the Egyptologist (guidebook) named Yasser. On the bus, the Egyptologist explained to us how it works and what happens first. After about 40 min. Drive we arrived at a police checkpoint. My daughter was still unwell and threw up. As a result, we decided that me and my daughter would go back again. The guide has negotiated a fixed price with a local taxi driver to drive us back and has advised us that it is not air conditioned and very uncomfortable. I didn't care, as long as my daughter was back in bed to relax. About 70 km for the equivalent of 8 euros, which I found very fair. My friends, my wife and my son kept driving. So now I can only reproduce the description of my wife.
Much was told and explained during the trip. Once at the sights, the guide clarified how they should behave in the market so as not to be too bothered by the traders in the market. Then the guide first took them to shady places and gave the information about the sights there and then you could photograph the things and look at everything. As a result, they have not been in the sun all the time and the heat was bearable. You noticed that the guide had thoughtfully and efficiently arranged the day so that you could take as much as possible with you. During the trip, the guide informed us that the cost of my daughter and me will be reimbursed and has also returned them directly. We were very pleased with that and showed us that this organizer is not just about the money.
We are very satisfied with this organizer and can recommend him 100%. If you are on holiday in Egypt and want to make excursions of any kind (offers even more), I recommend Memnon Reisen. They are cheaper than the offers from the tour operators and that what we have experienced and how to accommodate us, we might not have received that with the others.

Top trips from Hurghada to Luxor
My partner and I spontaneously decided to travel to Luxor in Hurghada. We searched the internet for offers and came across Memnon Reisen, which had a very good rating. So we booked a VIP luxury trip for 129 euros p.p. The booking was uncomplicated and were promptly contacted via Whatsapp after confirming the booking and were thus able to attach our wishes and questions immediately. The next day, we were expected in the lobby on time at 5 a.m. The trip took about 4 hours in an air-conditioned PW and there were four of us (us, tour guide and driver) on the trip. We were able to close our eyes on the way there and after about 2 hours there was a little break.
Once in Luxor, we visited the main tombs/museums and the guide also has a great knowledge of this period. One of our highlights was the Nile boat trip just for us. The guide and driver were always courteous and helpful. The guide also gave tips to avoid the flying traders. Lunch was just delicious and really recommended. Since it was a very hot day, enough drinks were also provided by the driver. The graves were just impressive. On the way back to the hotel we were able to make stops at the street food stands, which was also great. My partner and I were very pleased with our guide Banjamin and our driver.
We would recommend this trip to anyone and you also have no other "annoying tourists" with you.
The trip was well planned and we were also able to contribute our wishes without any problems.

Luxor Tour - indescribable and beautiful
It was an indescribable experience. Yasser and the two drivers were great.
We were picked up on time. Yasser never tired of explaining everything to us. We had a great day. Both the tour and the organization were perfect. We thank Yasser and Memnon Reisen for this beautiful insight into Egypt's history.
And we are looking forward to coming back next year.

A unique experience
In addition to the pickup from Hurghada airport to our hotel, which also worked out very well, we also made a day trip to Luxor to the sights there. Picked up by the chauffeur Mohammed on time in the morning, we started the day. He brought us back safely and well every now and then, knew the track very well and knew exactly where each pothole was. Once in Luxor, we were welcomed by Malek, our personal guide. We were more than positively surprised by his very good language skills and his also very good general knowledge, because he knew totally well about Germany. His expertise, appealing, friendly manner, helpfulness and humor made the day trip a unique experience. He deliberately saved us from many cliffs that other tourists had to contend with. The tour could not be better. We were also impressed by the lunch dish in a carefully selected restaurant: Qualitatively and quantitatively it was top. The general planning and the process were super coordinated, everything stress-free and this despite the fact that we had requested the appointment at very short notice. An unforgettable day that will be remembered thanks to Memnon travel! Only recommended. Thank you very much.
5 stars for Memnon travel ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If excursions in Egypt - then with MEMNON travel
We had booked two excursions (LUXOR private) and day trip Cairo. Both excursions were top notch in organization and execution.
TOP Service at any time of the day - absolutely flexible in planning (have rescheduled in Egypt and flew by plane from Hurgada instead of by car from Marsa Alam to Cairo - in 24 hours everything was reorganized) We have never experienced such a great Service (in German) anywhere before.
The guides (German speaking Egyptologists!!) and the drivers were on time, super friendly nund competent.
In Luxor we had Naschaat Obaid a luminary in this field and a real brain tip that we would take again at any time and in Cairo we had Aladin Kotb Osman, who we could recommend so to speak for the whole of Egypt.
If - and we will - book excursions again then definitely here at MEMNONREISEN!

Hot Tour-all in the ambiguous sense
We made the tour variant with overnight stay and balloon ride. It was all super organized overnight stay at the 5star hotel, pick up for balloon ride to return to the hotel. Absolutely professional tour guide with university degree in Egyptology (thank you Malik), no matter what we asked he could provide competent answers. Since we were on the road early, there were hardly any other tourists and we had nowhere to queue or wait.
