Perfect tour to experience Luxor - A great tour to experience Luxor! Our guide Hazem(Hezem?) was fabulous! VERY knowledgeable about the history of each site we visited. He guided us all the way to all the sites & explained every single details of what we are seeing.
They’re also very accommodating and helped us with our little requests.

Amazing experience and organization!! - The organization was perfect. We arrived in Luxor by night train from Cairo and at the platform there was already the tour guide waiting for us. Victor is a very passionated guide, we spoke a lot about Egypt's history but also recent Egiptian history. I fully recommend this tour.

Luxor and it’s splendour - The team organised hot air balloon ride, visits to the Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple and a lovely boat ride along the Nile. Victor was extremely knowledgeable about not just Egyptian history but he drew parallels with other great civilisations of the Bronze Age. He explained patiently every aspect of history and construction of the monuments. He addressed all our questions with enthusiasm. Victor has single handedly ensured that we will continue to visit Egypt in the future to assimilate the great past of the ancient civilisation. Victor also took us to a family run alabaster shop, advised us about where we get good food, drinks and also treated us to sugarcane juice.
He will be our tour guide for all our future visits to Egypt.
This was our first holiday after the pandemic and we felt quite safe to travel.

5 star service from Victor - We visited Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, Valley of the Kings, and Hatshepsut’s Temple during our all-day tour. Lunch was included and we had an awesome meal at Moon Vally (yes that’s how it’s spelled). Victor kept us from being hassled by the vendors and advised us on how much things should cost. We also did the optional stop at a family owned alabaster factory and it was well worth it. We didn’t feel pressured to buy anything, and it seemed to be a legitimate operation. Every place we visited was awesome and Victor was extremely knowledgeable about all of it and also taught us plenty about modern day Egypt. Victor will be our go-to guide for future visits to Egypt!

Unforgetable - Outstanding trip with the absolute best guide in all of Cairo. More than a tour, it's an experience. As someone who travels quite a bit, this was one of the most genuine interaction I have ever had with somebody who was supposed to be a complete stranger.
Warm, knowledgable and fun! You don't book a guide, you book a friend.
If you want to get the best out of your hollyday, I recommend booking here.
