Simply exhilarating
The team did a fantastic job from pick up all through the experience. The van was In great shape and super comfortable with all possible amenities available.
The guide Saeed was very detailed in his explanation and took the time to explain everything for us without rushing.
Luxor was another level of experience that is a must if visiting Egypt!

EXCEPTIONAL Get treated like royalty at The Valley Of The Kings
Booked this VIP trip and it surpassed expectations! Ahmed arrived at 4am intent on providing us with the best trip possible. I asked him how many hotels we needed to go to before we traveled to the Temple of Karnak and he replied “just you! You are the VIPs! He offered drinks and snacks and introduced us to the typical Egyptian breakfast of a type of breadstick as we watched the sun rise over the Sahara desert as we started our journey. The minibus was air conditioned for just the 2 of us and we relaxed and were able to stretch out with ample room. The rest stop Ahmed gave us each an Egyptian note to pay for the use of the toilets. We were the first there and as we left a coach pulled in and we watched as the passengers filed in with no money to pay. He advised us to ask the cost of the items at the cafe and I watched a German tourist pay over €10 for a cup of coffee! On the way to Luxor Ahmed explained the history and showed us the sugar cane growing in the fields as we neared the Nile he also played a film on the history of the pharaohs so we had a bit of an insight when we arrived at the temple. We were one of the first to arrive at the temple of Karnak where we met Said our guide for the day! This man is a fountain of knowledge and explained everything to us and answered all our questions, as We’d arrived early the temple was quiet and we took some amazing photos without the crowds. The monuments and drawings were breathtaking and Said explained how they were built thousands of years ago. We then took the boat trip down the Nile and saw the city from a different perspective before lunch in a restaurant. Said stayed with us on the boat and gave us an insight in to the transportation route. After lunch we travelled to the Valley of the Kings! As we sat in our air conditioned minibus relaxed with plenty of room in the midday sun while Said explained what we were going to see and how the tombs were built in the rocks I couldn’t help but feel grateful we’d chosen this tour instead of being cramped on a coach sweating my cobs off trying to hear what the guide was saying! The Tombs were amazing, the colours so vibrant they looked like they had been painted in the last century not thousands of years ago! The intricate details and the hours of work taken to complete. Back on the bus and Said gave us the information on the temple of Hatshepsut and how and why it had been built in that location. We stood and Said pointed out the Temple of Karnak, the views were stunning. We then visited the alabaster factory where we were shown how the stone is used to make statues etc, we bought an obelisk and we waited while our names were carved in to it as a momento of a fantastic day. We then dropped Said back in Luxor and Ahmed treated us to icecreams as he drove us back to Soma Bay and we watched the sunset over the Sahara. The day was more than perfect! Said is the Oracle, he knew everything about the area and the temples of an ancient Egypt and Ahmed was an absolute legend ensuring we had the best day! I am so so glad we chose this tour as we did indeed feel like royalty in the valley of the kings!

Super fun and informative tour to Luxor and the Valley of the Kings
This was one of the most beautiful, fun and educational excursions we have had the pleasure to go on so far. Ahmed the driver is a real original. We christened him Ahmed Shoemaker because of his brisk driving style. He drives quickly and safely. And entertained us with many anecdotes and a lot of knowledge during the drive to Luxor.
The German-language guide Ismail was also a source of information. He guided us through the day and brought us closer to the history of Egypt. We can recommend the tour without restrictions.

Perfectly planned, from start to finish
We had a great day with impeccable planning by our guide, Said. His deep historical knowledge made a big impression on all of us.
Our driver Ahmed was super prompt and well planned with the pickup, and ensured we had plenty of snacks and water at just the right time all throughout the day.
Would definitely recommend it!

Engaging and fun tour!
Great trip and tour! Ahmed picked us up in a mini-bus at our hotel. He was a really kind host, offering drinks and snacks. There where pillows to be used for napping, the bus also had wifi which was easy to connect to. He drove us to the first tour stop, where our tour guide Said took over. Really good and engaging tour in English from Said!
I could highly recommend this trip and tour!

Best excursion ever!
Amazing day with amazing driver and guide! Ahmet arranged the trip perfectly, he was very reliable and it was a really comfortable experience in the mini bus (wifi, tv, snacks, drinks, pillows, chargers). He made sure we had everything we needed. Our guide on the sites, Said, was incredible. He was knowledgable, friendly and reliable - everything you could wish for in a guide. I would highly recommend this experience!

Must do!
We had a superb time on this experience. We were picked up exactly on time in Makadi, were FIRST to Luxor out of all tourists and Ahmed went above and beyond during our journey. Lots of drinks, food and entertainment to keep us going. We stopped when needed (remember low value cash!) and we’re entirely comfortable throughout.
Once there, we had an excellent time at all stops. Our English speaking guide was Said, who had an encyclopaedic knowledge of Egyptology and answered all of the questions we asked with grace, patience and a delightful manner. A personal highlight was the Valley of the Kings. Trust your guide’s opinion. It will be tempting to try to see Tutankhamun’s, but it is one of the smallest and not worth one of your three tomb visits. Instead, Said recommended Rameses I, IV and IX, which were all breath taking. Said also told us the story of the architect and Hatshepsut whilst at the temple and this adds to the beauty and magnificence of the sight. Absolutely excellent.
On return, Ahmed made every effort to get us back on time and succeeded. We were home well before dinner. Enough time to have a quick nap and enjoy the rest of our evening.
It was my wife’s 30th birthday and we could not have asked for a more excellent experience. Thank you.
P.S. - this isn’t to do with the tour company, but the sights as a whole. There are a lot of locals that will pester to take your photo or ‘tell you an interesting fact’ for a tip. Be mindful to ignore them or be firm with your ‘no’. Anything they say won’t be half of what your expert will tell you!
