Unforgettable experience in Luxor - We did this full day excursion from Hurghada to Luxor and it was just great! The trip by minivan was comfortable and well organized, with perfect stops to rest. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and spoke clearly and engagingly about the history of Ancient Egypt. The visit to Karnak Temple, Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut Funeral Temple was breathtaking. Every place had a magical atmosphere full of history! Everything was well planned and the service was excellent. We highly recommend this excursion to anyone who wants to discover the wonders of ancient Egypt! Thank you for this amazing day!

My trip from Hurghada to Luxor with Hurghadatogo - The journey was seamless and filled with awe-inspiring discoveries that left a lasting impression. The private transfer was extremely comfortable, offering a luxurious and stress-free ride through the mesmerizing landscapes of Egypt. The convenience of being picked up directly from our hotel in Hurghada made the experience even more enjoyable. Along the way, our driver was both professional and courteous, making sure we were well taken care of. Upon arriving in Luxor, we were greeted by our knowledgeable Egyptologist guide Mr Yasser, who was nothing short of exceptional. His passion for Egyptian history and culture was infectious, and he provided captivating insights into each site we visited. At the Valley of the Kings, we marveled at the intricate tombs of the pharaohs, The Temple of Karnak was another highlight, with its colossal columns and detailed hieroglyphics. Having a private guide meant we could customize our itinerary to suit our interests, which was a huge plus. We never felt rushed and were able to explore at our own pace, enjoying the flexibility and personal attention that comes with a private tour. Overall, this trip was a perfect blend of comfort, education, and adventure. If you're considering visiting Luxor from Hurghada, I highly recommend opting for a private transfer with an Egyptologist guide.

Great time - We had a great time on our trip to the Valley of the Kings! As others have said, you pack *a lot* into this trip. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing but just be prepared for it to be a rushed day. Having said that, our guide Rasha offered lots of information and gave us plenty of free time to walk about and take pictures after she explained a few things about each site. Although you went quickly, it felt enough time for us but a lot of these sites could probably take 2-3 hrs each to fully explore! For a day trip, you get a good taste of what it’s all about. I’ve marked this down a star only because our van was on the small side. If you’re 5’8” or taller, then you may struggle. However, they do stop along the way for you to stretch your legs, etc. One thing to mention is that the vans are equipped with seat belts and there are two drivers on the trip (which is good since it’s a long day)! All in all, we felt this was real value for money. Would recommend to friends & family

Excellent - Mohamed Salah was very kind and provided us with a lot of useful information. In the Karnak Temple, in the Kiralyok valley, and in the Kiralyok burial place. We left with a big lead, because Mohamed was very excited and gave an interesting and mature answer to everything. I heartily recommend it. It was the best Karnak Temple. We learned many things that you cannot find on the Internet. He answered everything kindly and patiently. It was a stress-free, informative and interesting excursion, Egypt (SHERIF TOURS). If you want to go, look for Mohamed Salah if you are really interested in the history of Egypt.

Brilliant trip - Mohamed Salah The trip was well worth it. Mohamed was a very friendly guide and was able to give us lots of explanations. He always made sure that we could listen in the shade and elegantly led us past the large group tours. We didn't want to do the Nile cruise at first because we had heard a lot of bad things about Banana Island. But Mohamed assured us that we wouldn't visit it and so we were able to enjoy a lovely Nile cruise. We would happily recommend the trip.

Highly recommended. - Today we did the tour from Hurghada to Luxor with Mohammed Salah. First we went to the Karnak temple. Beautiful all those columns . We then did the Nile boat tour to Banana island (really something for tourists, but still nice to get a breath of fresh air on the water). Then we had lunch and visited the Hatsepsut temple. The front view of the temple is especially impressive. Finally, we visited the Valley of the Kings where we visited 3 Ramesses tombs and the tomb of Tutankhamun. The last was the least impressive, but because the mummy and sarcophagus were still there, it was definitely worth it. All in all a very nice and complete trip. Highly recommended.

Excellent trip - Excellent trip to Luxor from Hurghada. We had two great drivers who spoke good english and took us on the four hour trek through the mountains to Luxor. Our tour guide, Salah, was excellent showing us the main sights but also giving us the history of the region and of Egypt. Highly recommend though suggest you do this in cooler months as we went in the summar and it was extremmely hot. Great service and really enjoyed our time.

Really, i loved this trip - Had a lovely day with our guide Mohamed Salah, who took us the valley of Kings/Queens. He was very knowledgeable, funny, kind. Really made the history come alive. (There was a 15 min stop at a rock store, but it was fine. Clean bathroom, cold water and the people were not pushy.) We had a lovely day honestly. The lunch that included is okay, drinks are not included £100. Seen everything we needed to in Luxor. Great tour.

Really very good trip - Really very good ! Our passionate and knowledgeable French-speaking guide not only showed us the historical wonders of this fascinating country, but also immersed us in its rich and captivating culture. His anecdotes and in-depth knowledge enriched our experience, making this trip an unforgettable adventure. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to explore Egypt with an authentic and passionate guide.

Disappointing for a private tour - Booked a private tour thinking it would be quicker, comfortable & better overall but very disappointed. To start the journey there and back was horrendous in the car, roads are very bad so felt everything, was painful, we got picked up 4am in the dark and when we arrived and got out of the car at around 9am we noticed how dirty the inside of the car was! There were footprints on the car seats and dust everywhere! We met Tariq our tour guide at our first stop, to be honest not a very engaging person, we felt like he marched us around the stops then gave us free time after to go back around ourselves to take photos, this happened at every stop during the day. Didn’t understand why we couldn’t both at the same time. We were charged an extra €50 for the 2 of us to go on a 20 minute Nile cruise where is was advertised as €10 per person. We had been looking forward to this so had to pay it but not worth the cost. Lunch was good, the driver was good, the sites were good, Luxor was beautiful but the day was a let down due to our tour guide and the car journey.
