Great to see the Pyramids, but the tour could have been much better.
Was really looking forward to this trip. It was an early start (3am) from our hotel in Luxor and we were in Cairo by 09:30. We headed straight to the pyramids which were amazing. We think the tour guide could have prepared himself better and maybe bought our tickets the day before (bring from the area), but he didn’t and it meant we had to wait until he did. We could have also had more time at the pyramids, let’s face it, it’s the main attraction and as the afternoon was fairly free. We also visited the Egyptian Museum, which was worth a visit. The afternoon our guide took us to some local markets which were really nice to see (this was instead of the church we were meant to be visiting) again, could have done some prep and worked out it was going to be closed beforehand. The tour seemed very disorganised to us and we felt that it could have been planned much better, not sure if this was down to the guide or the operator, but the guy was a nice guy and could see he was clearly struggling with the effects of observing Ramadan. Oh yes, lunch was included and wasn’t great! But it was amazing to finally see the pyramids!

Day trip to Luxor from Cairo
Salwa was our tour guide and did an amazing job at explaining all of the history in detail. She did not rush us & definitely did everything she could to make our group of 4 feel welcomed.

Great 1 day trip to Luxor
Excellent tour!! Mohamed Basry and the driver took us around luxor. He is very knowledgeable about Egyptian history and he has great sense of humor. We learned a lot and had fun at the same time . I really recommend this tour and make sure to have Mohamed as your guide.

Excellent Tour!
My guide, Salwa, was very knowledgeable, passionate, hardworking and gracious. She even offered to help me find an earlier flight back at the end of the tour because I had to wait around with nothing to do for 6 hours. My driver, Hosan, was also very polite and made me feel safe. I'd definitely recommend this tour for anyone looking to see all the highlights of Luxor in a day without feeling rushed or hustled. Wonderful experience.

Excellent experience!
First time doing a private tour and we loved the experience overall!
Mahmoud Hakiem picked us up from our hotel promptly. He was professional and friendly. Him and the driver took us to the airport on time and guided us on where to go in the airport. When we got to Luxor, we were met by our tour guide (Hisham) and another driver. The tour was excellent! Hiaham was knowledgeable and friendly. He always asked if we had any questions and made sure we were comfortable. I liked how the tour was at our own pace too. He gave us time to explore a bit more on our own if we wanted to and we never felt rushed. Lastly, both him and the driver always opened the door for us going in and out of the car. We really felt like VIPs. For lunch we stopped at a restaurant near the Valley of the Kings called Paris Restaurant. The food was delicious! When we returned to Cairo, Mahmoud and the driver were already there waiting for us.
It was really such a pleasant experience overall and I highly recommend!
