Enriching personal experience at Luxor tailored to your needs - We experienced a full day private tour to Luxor by plane. We were picked up at our hotel promptly in a very clean and nice car. The transitions between teams at different check points were smooth. The experience was relaxing and rich in cultural experiences. Ahmed the tour guide made sure we were taken care of and accommodated our asks professionally. Essam the driver was very nice and drove very safe. I would highly recommend the tour experience to anyone from Sharm that wants a day excursion to experience the cultural aspects of Egypt.

Luxor Private Tour - We had a wonderful day on our private tour to Luxor. Ahmed our guide, and our drivers Mohammed and Mustafa (in Sharm and Luxor) were all lovely and everything ran extremely efficiently. Ahmed was great and tailor- made the trip for us brilliantly- ao we visited the tombs of Ramses V/V1, Seti and Tutankhamen - which were all well worth visiting, as well as a short boat trip on the Nile. We ended the day at Karnak temple which was spectacular, and then Luxor temple which was beautiful illuminated at night. A truly memorable end to a magic day. Thank you all!

Unforgettable Luxor Tour Thanks to Ahmed’s Expertise and Hospitality - During our trip to Sharm El Sheikh, we purchased a one-day tour to visit Luxor. Our tour guide, Ahmed, was extremely friendly, talkative, hospitable, and gentlemanly. He shared his extensive knowledge of Egyptian history with us in fluent English. When we wanted to extend the tour we had purchased, he offered us several alternative options. The tour was very comfortable, and the vehicle was also quite comfortable. He also took us to the airport exactly at the time we requested. We are planning to come here again and are already looking forward to traveling with him once more.

Fantastic visit , wonderful city with magical history and a fantastic guide. - What a fantastic day . Fr pick up at 4am to flight at 6am , then meeting our fantastic guide Ahmed I juts can’t fault a thing about the day. Being a couple , we opted for the private tour so got a driver ( very good ) and guide in a new SUV , very luxurious. We visited the valley of the kings first to miss the rush and it was amazing. Lots of steps as you can expect but very compact area wise. Then off to two more sites and lunch on the Nile. As we were rattling round our itinerary Ahmed suggested we could fit in more sites for a very reasonable £70 extra each and we agreed. Truly awesome day with Luxor almost completed but we will be back. Oh and the pit stop on the way back to the airport where Ahmed bought us drinks and Snack for the departure lounge to save paying airport prices was a lovely touch. 100% recommend and ask for Ahmed on your booking , if when we come back - we will be.

A huge thank you to him!!!

An alternative to Cairo for history buffs - This is a long day trip that will have you away from Sharm el-Sheikh for an entire day, but it’s worth it, especially for anyone interested in Egyptian history. The day started with an early morning charter flight to Luxor, where I was met by my guide Azab and driver Hassan. Azab’s expertise in Egyptology was apparent and he provided excellent and thorough explanations at each stop. As I was traveling solo, Azab gave me options throughout the day to tailor the trip to my interests, making sure we visited the most important sites in my limited time in Luxor. The tour ended and I was escorted to the airport where I boarded my flight back to Sharm. If you can peel yourself away from the beaches and pools for one day, Luxor is a must-see when in Egypt.

Mother and adult Daughter - This trip is only worth it if you are completely desperate to see the sites in luxor . If you have time and money shop around as this experience ,we felt was a complete money grabbing operation. None of the sites entry tickets where in included in the price so the whole day you are paying EXTRA money ontop of what you already paid . Everyone who greets or you or marginally interacts with you wants high tips and treats you coldly and with disdain if you don't pay enough . There where 2 waste of time excursions to spice and pottery shops where the staff are shouting at you and almost forcing you to buy things and incredibly pushy and rude. The lunch was a minimum option buffet that made us both feel sick after. We where also dropped off at the airport 4 hours before our flight ! This time could have been spent at other sites or added to the sites we seen. It was all very rushed and hardly anytime at the sites. Of course we Loved the sites themselves ancient Egyptians are amazing modern ones not so much . Disappointed to be very honest .
