A must do experience in Luxor. I recommend the sunrise option, pick up from hotel and transfer to launch site all went very smoothly. Tea/coffee/refreshments provided. plenty time in the air to take in the most incredible views over the desert and valley of the kings. Smooth landing. it all felt very safe and I highly recommend!!

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.

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!

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😊
