VIP trip to Luxor - This tour was fantastic! Second trip with driver Ahmed who picked us up on time to the minute. He had cold drinks, ice water and fresh orange juice every time we came back to the bus and he got us back to hurghada 2 hours early. Our tour guide Said was very knowledgable and friendly and we had an excellent time throughout! Recommend to anyone!

Ahmed the driver was excellent. Bang on time and knew the best ways to negotiate the roads. Ahmed also had a selection of cold drinks and snacks that we were free throughout the drive.
All in all a fantastic day.

The most Amazing Experience with the best driver and tour guide Ahmed and Siad. - We took the VIP Luxor tour having never been to Egypt before.
It was the most incredible and educational experience.
Our Driver Ahmed and Guide Siad where extremely nice and helpful, going out of their way to make sure we where feeling ok and happy.
I had the start of what felt like heat stroke, but both Ahmed and Siad did all they could to help me feel better, even making me a special drink that settled my stomach.
I would 100% recommend Ramashka tours for any Egyptian excursion.
Especially with Ahmed and Siad.
Siad's knowledge of Luxor was mind blowing.
Thank you so much for the experience, it was so good that we canceled our Ciaro trip so we could book with Ahmed and Ramashka tours again.
Also they gave us fresh sugar cane that I haven't had for years and brought back so many memories of past holidays.
We really appreciate all you did for us, even though you are all on Ramadan.
Thank you again and see you soon 🙏

The best driver and guide - We had a great trip with driver Ahmed and guide Said! The minibus was comfortable, well air-conditioned, had a tv-screen og they even had ice cold drinks and snacks available. The fresh plants in some of the cupholders were just a bonus! We got to see some amazing places, and in between we went on a great 40min boat trip on the Nile were we got to rest a bit before our next adventure. Said has a great personality, and speaks very good english, and so does Ahmed. They are both very knowledgeable in their field and showed us some of the greatest things we’ve ever seen. Before going back to our hotel in Makadi Bay, Ahmed brought icecream for us, and we even got to taste fresh sugar cane from the fields of Luxor while watching beauty and the beast on the screen. At the end of the drive back, Ahmed welcomed us to break ramadan fast with him with dates from the side of the road, even though we’re not muslims. We had an AMAZING day! A true VIP experience. Cannot recommend enough!! Yalla Habibi!

AMAZING day! Would book this operator both for Luxor and Kairo! - After advise from our driver Ahmed, we exchanged day to go on our trip, and we are so happy we did!
He showed up at the agreed upon pickup time with a clean, comfy and cozy bus filled with ice cold drinks and plenty of snacks including both chocolate, dates, and all kinds of potato chips. WiFi during the ride, chargers if you needed, and a big flat screen where we could see a preview of what we were going to see as well as other videos. Truly a VIP experience!
We were 4 English speaking passengers in the bus who usually could accommodate 12(!) So tru
Our driver got us fast and swiftly to Luxor, and we arrived as the first convoy out of the desert, meaning we reached Karnak temple at 8 in the morning before the crowds arrived. There we met our guide Said. Extremely knowledgeable, patient with us, and explained everything while taking us throughout the temple. He answered any questions we had, and shown us many amazing features like the obelixes, drawing inside Ramses IV temple, the Amon-Ra temple created by Seti 1 and Ramses II and so on.
Then we on a Nile cruise which shows the city, Luxor temple from the waterways as well as agriculture. Followed up by lunch with classic Egyptian food, and then we headed to Valley of the kings!
Wow! Incredible! You’re allowed to see 3 tombs on your ticket, and in our group we trusted Said’s judgement on which ones. Ramses IV and IX were among those 3, and they were amazing features!
Lots of ancient writings and paintings including original colours!
Then we headed off to Hatshepsut Temple! A 3 level temple built in front of and carved into the rock! Spectacular!
We also went into an alabaster factory where they had thousands of different artifacts which you could purchase, but there were absolutely no pressure.
Then we left our amazing guide Said behind in Luxor and continued back to Hurghada. During the trip home Ahmed served us both ice cream and chocolate and also surprised us with a movie.
Came back at the hotel at 6 pm with a smile!
Thank you for a wonderful day and I would recommend both driver Ahmed and the guide Said any day!

Good day out! - This is a great day out, full of history and unbelievable sights. The driver Ahmed was phenomenal, his bus was kitted out with a TV (watched Luxor history on the way there and beauty and the beast on the way back), snacks drinks, ice cream is available and cushions it is extremely clean and tidy and comfortable. We had this to ourselves for the whole day which was great.
Said the tour guide was informative and helpful.
Practical bits, there are plenty of toilet stops however you have to pay 20 Egyptians pounds each time (take some Egyptian money with you or ask your guide to take you to a bank to take some out). You are really really hassled at all the sites, the best way is not to make eye contact or talk this my feel ignorant but they are unrelenting if you engage. We were 2 female travellers we felt safe at all times, they are just trying to make a living. Take a sturdy shoes, some of the tombs at the valley of the kings are deep and there are lots of wooden boards and stairs. I would recommend taking a fan! Some of the site are extremely exposed to the sun with minimal shelter bear this in mind, an umbrella is a great way to get shade. We took blister plasters, even your favourite, most comfortable shoes can rub when your feet swell in the heat.
Lunch is basic but it was enough to fill you up, I took my own snacks so I was happy with the food on the day.
Be aware the nile trip costs extra, as there was only 2 on the trip it was £20 (English) each. It was lovely and worth the extra but something we hadn’t planned for.
This is my second time to Luxor, it did feel a little rushed at times but we were grateful for the quick turn arounds. We were at the hotel in time for tea and well rested for the next day.
All in all I would recommend this trip.

Luxory day in a Luxor! - We did this VIP tour and was a perfect experience! We visited Luxor with three kids (small ones) and managed to do it all with help of the driver Ahmed and guide Said. Ahmed is very attentions and drives better than F1 driver; we could arrive before all the massive tourists and take amazing pictures. Said is a lovely person and explain history better than discovery channel 😀, we could see so much passion in his work. Clean and new veicle. Free treats. Nice lunch by Nilo. We're very satisfied. Thank you both Habibi!

Great experience - We had a great trip, Ahmed, our driver got us there early before the rush and we were able to see Karnak Temple before all of the crowds, first bus there. Sa’id was a great guide who was able to tell us a lot about the history of each place we visited. Ahmed got us back to our hotel in a timely fashion so there was no waiting around. Lots of snacks and drinks on the bus. A great experience. Thank you!

An excellent service, well worth the money - Ahmed was a fantastic driver who got us there and back very quickly and made sure all our needs were met. Said was an excellent tour guide who taught us loads about the temples and tombs we visited. Over all we were very well looked after.
