Nice experience on the Nile, with a different tour guide everday. Tickets and tips are not included so make sure to take cash and have card ready. No hot air balloon flight - cancelled due to weather, trying to get money back.

I applied and went through the tour alone. Despite being a solo traveler, they provided a personal guide according to the schedule, and the guide was excellent. I had a great time overall without any inconvenience. The guides were fantastic, and they consistently provided helpful feedback about the schedule via WhatsApp, which helped alleviate any concerns. Thank you for helping me have a wonderful trip! :)

Had an amazing day out with tour guide Hamed and his driver exploring the breathtaking valley of the kings and Hatshepsut temple. Hamed brings a wealth of knowledge to the tourism industry as a highly experienced Egyptologist. Pick up went smoothly and transportation was very comfortable with air conditioning and plenty of free bottled water provided. The tour includes a delicious lunch at an all you can eat Buffett restaurant. I would highly recommend this tour provider.

I visited in August. Despite the extreme heat of 46°C, the guide provided us with a carefully planned tour of Luxor Temple and the Valley of the Kings, offering thoughtful advice and pacing. The transportation was also comfortable, as we traveled in an air-conditioned vehicle. I am very grateful.

The tour was great. It was very organized. Mr. Ayman our tour guide is very good and nice, a good photographer too. The lunch was good too. We have a good driver too Mr. Haysam. In some cases like mine, I book this tour as a group but it turns to be a private tour😊

I'm glad I was able to make a reservation smoothly! More than anything, the driver was very, very kind, drove carefully, and was considerate, so I had a comfortable time! I was also introduced to a great restaurant for dinner, which I was happy about because it was delicious! I would definitely like to ask again when I come to Luxor! Thank you very much!
