Driver with a charm! - Just wanted to share about our incredible trip to Luxor! It was seriously amazing, and a huge part of that was thanks to our awesome driver, Abd Rabbo. He was the best! Not only was he super professional and friendly, but he was also a walking encyclopedia of Luxor. He took us on some amazing detours on the way to our planned activities, telling us the coolest stories along the way. He really made the whole experience so memorable.
Seriously, the guy went above and beyond. He even waited at the airport after dropping us off just to make sure we got inside safely! What a legend!
Luxor itself is a must-see. One day isn't nearly enough – we wish we had more time! We also squeezed in Cairo and Alexandria, but honestly, Luxor blew them both away. It was even better than the pyramids, and I'd probably skip Alexandria next time. If you're planning a trip to Egypt, make Luxor a priority. You won't regret it!

Great experience - Luxor is amazing and the tour is worth every cent!! We we also blessed with a great driver Abd Rabbo. He also deserves a 5-star rating!! He was quite chatty - in a good way - and he kept on informing us of many attractions as we passed by. He was very friendly and professional. The car was clean and he had nice stories to tell. Whenever we finished seeing an attraction and came back to the parking he was there waiting for us. This tour was the best of all our Egypt tours!!

It was a very satisfying tour. - It was arranged by the driver only, but the driver, Abd Rabo, was there to guide us on the way and provide us with candy and water.
They asked me if I wanted to go to a souvenir shop on the way, but when I said no, they passed me through with nothing in particular.
Contacts were communicated smoothly through WhatsApp, so we could see the sights without unnecessary waiting times.
The order of sightseeing was arranged from Abd Rabo's experience, and thanks to his guidance to avoid crowded times, we were able to see the sights without stress.
This tour is recommended.

Nice driver and great sights - Got the driver only option and did not regret it. Buying ticket as a tourist can be challenging but only at the valley of the king, everywhere else was standard. My driver Mohammed was very helpful and gave history for every location we drove by and visited and patiently waited for me to finish. He also recommended interesting places to go too.

Trustworthy, adaptive and extremely helpful - I had just take the option of the car and driver and Abdrabo,the appointed driver was just the right fit for my itinerary. He was punctual, professional, and extremely knowledgeable about the area, making our journey smooth and enjoyable. He is a steady and safe driver. He also went out of his way to accommodate our requests and provided excellent recommendations for local attractions and helped a ton in getting the tickets to all attractions.

Temple Tour of Luxor - The guide was amazing. I took part in the event with a stroller with children, but they took care of safety. The guide was also very polite and gave me a lot of information, and it was easy to hear in English

How to make your trip great - We did a one day trip to Luxor and our guide Salwa was amazing and made our trip memorable. She went above and beyond and spent a little more than 10 hours showing us the city since we had a late flight back to Cairo.
She was very knowledgeable and answered all the questions we had in detail. She didn’t rush us or force us to buy things. She was respectful of what we wanted to. Would highly recommend this tour and a tip - ask the tour company to give you a guide from a list of good guides based on other people’s reviews. That’s what I did and it made our trip great!

Worst tour ever. It is a tour company that only collects cancellation fees. - As it turns out, it's the worst and worst tour.
I can't reach him, he won't show up to pick me up.
I had a local person support me and call the phone number listed, but the call only rings and I am not answering.
When I asked to cancel on the day, the tour company said they picked me up without any problems but we didn't show up and the refund would be 15% of the price.
I'm not convinced at all.
The only way to get out of the city is by taxi from Luxor Airport, so it's only annoying to cancel on the morning of the day.
I can only distrust TripAdvisor, which approves such contractors.
I didn't want to use it again, including on TripAdvisor.
