VIP experience - Picked up on time, knowledgeable driver, special expert guide (Said) for the archaeological side of the trip, both spoke perfect English. Free onboard WiFi, phone charging, and even complimentary snacks! We were given free cola, crisps, and even ice cream after we melted at Karnak. There were only 4 of us in a very comfortable minibus so it was all very much like a private tour rather than a group.
Just beware, nearly all the toilets you will encounter charge about 10E£ to use them, but Ahmed the driver even gave us change for these when we had none. Also watch out for hawkers and any locals that try to "help" you, like taking phones out of your hand to take photos and then demanding payment, but that's just Egypt.
Temples of Hatupshet and Karnak breathtaking, the valley of the kings was also interesting but obviously all the good stuff is in the Cairo museum and all you can see are the wall frescoes. Lunch was also a lot better than expected, a buffet where we helped ourselves, and no flies!
Definitely would recommend this tour. We got there before the main crowds swarmed in and back at the hotel in time for food.

Hurghada to Luxor - comfortable day trip - Wonderful day trip to Luxor. Packed in a full day of activities and our early start meant we had a less crowded time at the Temples. I would highly recommend.

Best of time in Luxor and Karnak trip - We had an amazing trip with our 3 and 7years old children. Ahmed the driver took us saftely in less than 3h to Karnak and there we met the guide, Said, who had the right balance of briefness and intersting information, and he managed to keep our 7y old tuned. We reached Karnak among the first visitors and was able to visit the place peacefully before the crowds comming, afterwards we visited Luxor where Said took us to see the most well preserved and decorated tombs, afterwards we had a short charming Nile boat trip and visted some interesting factories and the Queen valley. We felt very safe during the trip since the team knee their way around and discouraged the more insisting locals to follow us. Ahmed even bought the necessary from the farmacy for our son who had some bruises during the trip. we arrived in due time to our hotel in Hurghada before 19:09. On short we had wonderful trip.

Great experience - We enjoyed our trip to Luxor. Our driver Ahmed was very friendly and accommodating. Provided us with WiFi, snacks and cold water. Also bought us ice cream and sugar cane. Ahmed got us to Luxor very early so we were able to beat the crowd. Our English tour guide Said was also so very friendly and very knowledgeable. We felt very safe with him and we all enjoyed this trip.

Ahmed and Said are the best!! - Ahmed was AMAZING!! He is the best driver and was prompt. We were the first bus there and had NO CROWDS. When we were done we realized how important that was. He had WiFi, movies, pure sugar cane drinks, tons of snacks. We felt so cared for during the trip. Said was our tour guide with Ahmed and they are a dynamic duo. Said was so knowledgeable and took us to all the authentic spots, I am so impressed!

Highly recommend this tour - Excellent service from door to door.
Our driver Ahmed was allways making sure we had a comfortable trip. Offering snack, drinks and entertainment without extra cost.
He gave a lot of information about egyptian culture and cities as well as drove from Hurghada to Luxor.
In luxor we picked up our fantastic guide Said who made the tours very interesting and worth the visit.
The minibus is very pleasant and clean, and with free wifi all day. We were just two families on this tour which made the tour pleasant and with no stress.
We highly recommend Ramashka tours and would be happy to travel with them again.

A long driving day but worth it. - Positives: Our driver Ahmed was very responsive regarding details of the pick up and what to bring etc. His vehicle was comfortable and he had anticipated everything one might need on such a trip such as chargers, snacks and cushions. He was very keen to get us to Karnak early before the crowds became large which he succeeded at and which we were grateful for when we saw the crowds arriving when we left. Our tour guide Said seemed knowledgable and got the timings right regarding how long we spent at each site avoiding the crowds and finding little oases where we seemed to have the place to ourselves. I had visited Luxor before but my family hadn't and were blown away by the experience.
Less positives: Ahmed was a good driver but is on a obsessive mission to get places FAST. If you are a nervous passenger this is not the trip for you. We experienced sales pressure from both Ahmed and Said for visits to a papyrus factory, buying cartouche necklaces and the alabaster factory like other reviewers have said. We refused all of them by being polite but firm. We did agree to the boat trip under pressure but did actually really enjoy it so that worked out. We had been spoilt at the Sheraton so found the Hawaii lunch disappointing plus it was way too early - 10.45am! The pressure at the end to write a tripadvisor review before leaving the van was irritating so I have revised now after reflecting on the overall trip.
All in all a long but truly memorable day.
