Historic Mood with coffee Mood
The ride itself was worth it to have seen Luxor once.
However, we would not go back with the company.
Negative were the trip to the alabaster factory. Pure rip-off for goods that are cheaper even at the airport. Dinner at lunch. Mega bad. The extra payment for the Nile cruise. The hustle and bustle in the excursion, because you are really driven to have to see everything quickly.
Everyone needs to know for themselves. 95€ pP is already expensive.

Super interesting
Trip was amazing.
Tour guide Said was great, amazing knowledge and looks after you when the pesky street vendors swarm around.
We saw a number of great locations.
Driver Ahmed and his mate made sure we arrived at our destination in Luxor before the hordes of other tourists. Safe and sound.
On the way to Luxor we were given free croissants and tea. Bottled water was available troughout the day as well.
As a couple who have never been to Egypt it felt a bit weary at the beginning seeing the police with machine guns on every corner, but everything felt safe in the end thanks to the great people who looked after us.
Strongly recommend to visit Luxor using this travel agency if you have a chance.

Defo worth it in my opinion
A great day. I'm someome who stayed in an all inclusive hotel with friends. We needed a day like this away from the hotel. Something that shows us more about the country we're staying in. I think its so important to do things like this and not just stay in one place abroad. ALSO the tour guide was excellent. His name is SAID. 5 Star Service.

Amazing trip!
This trip has been amazing, the early morning start meant that you can be the first to some of the attractions and be able to take photos without it being packed with people! The drivers were very helpful and wanting to look after us the whole way.
A big shout out to Said our tour guide who took us around each attraction and taught us all the information and more.
I would recommend this trip to anyone visiting Egypt we had a great time and we’re very well looked after :)

Fantastic trip (with the odd catch)
Fantastic experience! You witness some truly incredible sites on the trip, me and my partner both thought the trip was good value for money considering how long the day was (and be warned) it is a LONG hot day out in Luxor. The tour company cannot do enough for you, constantly providing you with water/drinks/snacks which are all included in what you pay. The guide was very knowledgable about everything you see, i always feel it makes a huge difference to know the significance of what your looking at on historical site trips such as these. It would have maybe been nice to have a bit more time left to our own devices to explore but we understand its a long trip with a tight schedule so no real issue with that. One thing to be aware of is that there are locals (particularly in valley of the kings) who blend in as people who work there handing you cards to fan yourself down inside the tombs and taking photos for you… followed by the inevitable “money money!” So just be aware and politely decline as they didn't tend to hassle much. The lunch was sufficient, your typical rices, potatoes, pasta, salads, chicken and fish. One small but important issue to be aware of, HIDDEN COSTS!!! The tour guide did resolve this for us and we were grateful BUT… we were told by the tour driver on the bus not to fall for paying for the boat trip up the nile as you cross the nile anyway, the only difference was 45mins up and down as opposed to a 3-5 minuet crossing, ok! No problem.. however, when it came down to it the tour guide announced the boat was extra charge and the rest of the group (8 of us in total) paid up. Even though a boat journey on the Nile is included in the excursion description and as such should be included in what you pay as advertised in our opinion. It was a small negative as we felt it put us in an uncomfortable position within the group by making the point. we felt a bit pressured originally to pay up the extra money (for context, we only took tipping cash with us and didn't have enough on us to pay the extra) As i say, the tour guide did resolve this for us and we did enjoy the rest of the trip but just be aware. All in all very good value for money, brilliant tour, very well looked after and we wouldn’t hesitate to use them again! Shukran Ramashka Tours

A must-do in small group
Thanks Ahmed and Said for this beautiful ride. Ahmed must have been a formula 1 driver in a previous life, and we managed to beat the crowds at Luxor, which was rare and awesome to see the place empty, a small cruise on the Nile, we then visited the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Queen Nefertari, the colossus statues. All great.
I really enjoyed how Said drove the small group (7-ish people max) with interesting facts, engaging personality and great languages skills. The participants were also all very friendly.
What I love: constant attention to our wellbeing, by giving us fresh water and juices all the time (it gets really hot in Luxor), the gentle reminders to bring sunscreen, the scarves available for guests, the air conditioned van that is never full, the free wifi.
What I didn’t like: food buffet was bad, I would much have preferred some street food, longer cruise on the Nile was optional, and cost 10€, but we were informed only last minute, which felt like extortion a bit. A simple communication before, and it wouldn’t have been an issue. Finally, the stop at stone carver shop was just not for me, but others liked it.

Great
The team again was so good. Said our guide was so knowledgeable and explained everything in details, I really enjoyed. They were on time, they stick to the plan and we managed to see everything. I would highly recommend them again. Constantly looking after us, wifi all the way, cold drinks and even some food and scarf. I don’t think i could ask for any better. I would do it with them again.
