Great but not ideal lunch time
I had a good time on the tour today. Our guide, Remon, was very knowledgeable and accomodating. He took other party members home mid-tour because they were feeling sick, brought me to look at cartouches per my request and to an atm machine to withdraw cash. We underestimated how busy the itinerary is. We had elderly people in our group that had a hard time in the middle of the tour. But also heat (early October) and hunger were factors. We hadn't eaten breakfast and there is A LOT of walking and steps in this tour. So, just know lunch wasnt originally going to happen until after tour (like after 4 pm) unless we opted to do a lunch across the nile at an additional fee. That's the reason for 1 star off.

Amazing tour and Amazing guide
Amazing tour! Amazing guide! We were concerned we wouldn’t have enough time to see everything and it was more than enough! The tour company had everything planned perfectly! Highly recommend!

A must do
Dina was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable in Egyptology. The tour was smooth. We got to see all the amazing sites and the history was remarkable. She took us for lunch at Banana Island which the food was to die for. I definitely would recommend this tour and if you can ask for Dina. She is amazing.

Amazing tour and wonderful tour guide
My tour guide, Tony, was so caring and professional. He was so accommodating and made my day. I couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide and driver. Tony was also the most knowledgeable tour guide I’ve ever had. Thanks Tony for everything. I absolutely recommend Tony to anyone who is planning to visit Luxor.

Wow! It was an incredible adventure!! This is my 3rd trip to Egypt and my friend Aaron first time. That said, our tour guide Remon and our driver Almed was outstanding! Remon was super knowledgeable and just a great person all together. Exceptional customer service!!

Very well operated great tour
All drivers and guide were punctual and courteous.
I found the guide Remon knowledge and easy to interact with. He happily took photos for me and was very attentive .
Note that the included lunch is very light, but that's what I needed that day. I opted out of the longer lunch with a Nile cruise. This means you'll finish your tour earlier, so it's better to co-ordinate your flight back accordingly.
As mentioned by others, there was an unplanned stop at a local village souvenir shop with a hard sale on stone carved souvenirs. After spending a couple of days in Giza, that didn't phase me too much. The prices he'll throw at you will be x20 the outside price. Don't fall for it.
I would recommend this trip if you're a solo traveller. It made visiting Luxor easy and I got to see everything I wanted to see.

Luxor in a day!!
We were hesitant to book a tour to Luxor by plane because there are so many bad experiences mentioned in different reviews. Hesham was the only tour company that had no bad reviews and we booked with them. Everything went smoothly, Hesham sent us the air tickets by text (pdf) very quickly .Sayed was our driver to and from the airport and he was punctual, friendly and very pleasant. Our tour guide was Mohammad he speaks excellent Spanish and answered all our questions, very patient, gave us ample time we never felt rushed and explained all the history and details in Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Karnak and Luxor Temples. The tour included 3 tumbs and We bought the tickets for the extra 3 Tombs (Tut, SETI, Ramses V and IV) they only accept credit cards at the entrance . We learned so much with him.He took good care of us . The tour ended just in time to go to the airport around 7 to catch the plane back to Cairo. It is much better to get a private tour as the attention is personalized ; we were lucky we had Mohammed and Sayed! Thank you Hesham!

Amazing experience, highly recommend!!!
I have always wanted to visit Egypt , so I decided to visit with my sister for our birthday in order to learn more about the country, it’s people and the history that has intrigued me since childhood. I searched relentlessly for a tour company that had real -life reviews of other tourists that had traveled to Egypt to explore just as I wanted to do. I was elated when I found Hesam tours and read all the positive reviews from other travelers and so I booked the full private day tour from Cairo to Luxor which promised an adventure of a lifetime. The package I booked included bookings for our flight from Cairo to Luxor by Egyptair , we were picked up at our hotel early morning and chauffeured to Cairo international and from there our day of sightseeing began. We felt safe the entire way throughout which is the most important thing given that we do not speak the native language and had never traveled to Egypt prior. By the way , even the drivers for pick up , drop off and on the tour made every effort to speak to us in English so communication was a breeze. We learnt so much about Egypt on this trip courtesy of the most amazing Tour guide and licensed Egyptologist Remon Romany who went above and beyond to explain everything in detail to us plus he had the greatest sense of humor so we also laughed the entire da. He covered information from ancient Egypts’ East and West Banks. Every aspect of this trip was impeccable , from the Nile River to the Valley of the Kings, to visiting numerous tombs,
to exploring the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut and walking through Karnak Temple. Our guide accompanied us to local shops to purchase our souvenirs like cartouches and papyrus artifacts. After the tour we had lunch and was accompanied back to the airport where again Remon made sure we were securely checked in before bidding us farewell. I can’t sing him enough praises as he was just amazing and we will definitely be requesting his services on our next trip to Egypt. ( Remon if you are seeing this review, you’re awesome!!!) highly recommend your services. When we arrived back to Cairo we we picked up by our Driver Eslam again who brought us back to our hotel, he was also very pleasant . If anyone is planning a trip and seeking a tour company I would recommend!
