Many thanks to HurghadaToGo and their representative Mina William - The day was extremely hot, and this trip was lengthy. I strongly advise visiting Luxor because it's a truly remarkable location. Yasser, tour guide, helped me arrange my travel. He did plan everything out for us, and we had plenty of information. He even planned our breakfast, which we took to go from the hotel. My two teenagers and I went on a trip. Though long, the journey was comfortable. Appropriate breaks and places to rest. We received lunch and everything included for the price I paid. Our excellent guide for the entire trip gave us a wealth of interesting information about Egypt. I will heartily endorse Yasser and HurghadaToGo for travel. I've already made more reservations with them.

HurghadaToGo Tour - Luxor Edition Takes You on Yet Another Amazing Adventure! - I chose to go on another adventure, this time to Luxor, after having an amazing time on a prior trip to Cairo with HurghadaToGO Tour. It was clear right away that the greatest service would always be consistently provided. Our knowledgeable and compassionate tour guide for Luxor, Nermin, made sure we had a fascinating look around this ancient city. Once again, Ahmed the driver proved to be reliable and amiable, which made the trip from Hurghada effortless. Having taken two tours with HurghadaToGo Tour, I was happy to discover that the quality of service remained consistent. The pickup from my Hurghada hotel at five o'clock was on time, and the 18:30 return went just as smoothly. The trip was made comfortable and pleasurable by the air-conditioned bus, which also had cold beverages, snacks, and reliable WiFi. It was fascinating to explore Luxor, from the Temple of Karnak to the Valley of the Kings. The day was enhanced by stops at the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, the Colossi of Memnon, an alabaster factory, a papyrus bazaar, and a delicious lunch by the River Nile. HurghadaToGo Tour is still the greatest company, offering faultless and unforgettable experiences. Strongly suggested for a memorable second or even third trip!

If you are travelling to Egypt, please book with these people! - He was picked up from our hotel in time. Three hours by minivan to Luxor, which is air conditioned. Only eight people. Yasser, our guide, was just fantastic. A kind man who enjoyed his work! He was very competent and led us to places where no other groups participated. As a first stop we visited the Karnak temple where we spent about 1.5 hours. Upon our arrival here we could do a Nile cruise (£10). The day before we had taken a Nile cruise and took the bus to the restaurant. The restaurant was neat, had good cuisine and was located on the banks of the Nile. The view was great! We made our way to the Valley of the Kings. Our tour included three admissions to the graves of our choice. As a group we decided to stay with the guide and visit the graves he recommended. We visited KV 2, 4 and 6. For an extra charge there was the possibility to visit Tutankhamun's tomb. However, our guide said it was nothing special as all the items in it were in the museum. Thanks for not wasting our money! Then we visited the temple of Hatshepsut. Wow. The view from here was breathtaking. Yasser led us to the lower right corner of the temple and showed us where the image of Hatshepsut was removed from all hieroglyphics. I won't tell you why! But again, there were no other groups here, so we missed important information! Last we stopped at the Colossi of Menmon. Please give the driver and our guide Yasser the credit they deserve for making our tour absolutely fascinating! Please, please, please, book with this company!!

Excellent Luxor - Our guide Rasha was amazing! She was so knowledgeable and we had so much fun while out with her. I Will definitely be asking for her by name when I visit egypt again! She gave us amazing tips on how to avoid people accosting us and trying to sell us things. Not only this but she was able to recommend which egyptian foods to eat and took some amazing photos along the way. Rasha did her very best for us and we would whole heartedly recommend her!

Amazing Tour with Women Guides! - I had a great tour of ancient Egypt with Rasha, a woman guide who brought history to life! She was knowledgeable, passionate, and made the experience unforgettable. It's inspiring to see women like her leading in tourism. Investing in women like our guide not only enhances the tourism industry but also accelerates progress and empowers communities. Let's support women's rights and fair wages for their invaluable contributions. More women in roles like hers will undoubtedly enrich Egypt's future! Thank you for an enlightening journey and for exemplifying the power of women. Choosing a woman guide enriches your experience and also supports women's empowerment in Egypt. Continue to promote gender equality and opportunities for women in all sectors. ❤️

Perfect trip - Mina was an excellent guide. He was cheery and energetic which made me more motivated to take the tour. He was a complete professional with detailed stories of the kings and queens that had me wanting to hear more of the knowledge he possessed. He is a complete professional who guided me along the tour expertly and managing the time well. I highly recommend him and his hidden photography skills for this tour and more

Great day - We had a wonderful day in Luxor. The three of us had booked a small group then The trip was upgraded to private trip, it was a great news from the owner. We were picked up promptly at 5:00 a.m. by two drivers from our hotel in Soma Bay. After almost 4 hours of driving with a break and several checks, we arrived at our first stop at the Karnak Temple. Our guide Yasser also got on there. Our guide gave us a very interesting tour of the Karnak Temple and then we had some free time. In total we were there for about 1 hour and 45 minutes. Afterwards we went on to lunch, in an idyllic location directly on the Nile. Afterwards we took the boat across the Nile, here we had the boat all to ourselves. The driver was waiting for us on the other side of the Nile. Next we went to the Valley of the Kings. There we visited 3 graves that were recommended to us by Yasser. For an additional charge of EGP 300 per person. (approx. 9€) we also visited the tomb of Tutankhamun. We spent a total of about 1 hour and 15 minutes here. Afterwards, the mortuary temple of Hatshepsut was actually on the agenda, but our guide convinced us to visit the mortuary temple of Ramses III instead. Afterwards there was a short photo stop at the Colossi of Memnon and then we went through the desert back to the hotel, where we arrived back around 6:30 p.m. Since we had booked a private excursion, we never had to wait and were at the sights before the large tour groups. The day was really perfectly organized and our guide Yasser spoke great English and told us a lot of interesting things about Egyptian history. He also often offered to take photos of the three of us; we have never had so many family photos from any other vacation. All in all it was a really great trip, we really saw a lot and it was really good value for money.

I loved this trip - I really appreciate the tour with this agency! I booked the tour a day before and they contacted me directly about the organization. I could choose the language of my guide and they picked me up from the hotel on time as planned. The guide knew the history of the places perfectly and was really nice and open. In addition, I felt safe and returned safely to the hotel at the end of the excursion. Thanks again! Michael

very exciting - Amazing places we visited. All the places in Luxor that we visited are amazing. We would have loved to have had much more time to visit them at our leisure. On a day trip you visit the most important parts and be prepared to rush as you don't have much time to hang around as you have to jump to the next point. For the price it is worth every penny I spent. I would recommend traveling in smaller groups so you get much more information from your guide. Hurghadatogo

Very good but i prefer Cairo - A nice trip to get to know the ancient culture of Egypt I think the tour guide was very nice and informative, he told a lot of interesting things, in my opinion we should have spend much more time in each destination but other than that it was worth the money.
