“Best tour in Luxor - Mohsen was the best tour guide!!! He was extremely knowledgeable about all Luxor sights/Egyptian history and an incredible storyteller. Mohsen and our driver Islam were very attentive and made sure we were comfortable throughout the day. If you take any tour in Luxor it should be this one. Cannot recommend enough.” - Reviewed on 2024-10-20
