I had always wanted to visit Luxor and this tour met every expectation. I was thrilled to be able to visit so many incredible sights and spend an unforgettable day in this beautiful destination. The guide and driver were first-rate. Highly recommended.

I visited the East and West banks of Luxor with Khalid, he was an excellent guide! Very kind and knowledgeable about Egyptian art and history, and he went above and beyond to make every effort to ensure that I had the best experience. Also very passionate about his work and Egypt, many thanks for the memorable experiences!

Nice older guy who takes care about his clients and also goes out of his way to make you feel good. Knows when and where the crowds are and at least tries to avoid them. Our travel agency messed up and he made sure that we get something in return for it (free romantic felucca ride). Aside from being knowledgeable, I liked that he stopped on the side of the street to buy a watermelon for dessert. I am a person who loves information and learning about culture and history, for this I would have liked even more information but I know in that limited time this is hard to fulfill. If you are like me, consider at least a second day in Luxor with a guide.

Where to even begin. Put simply, Khaled was an incredible guide! He was so flexible with our schedule and accommodated any requests or adjustments we may have had. We felt safe and in good care throughout the entire day and left our tour feeling more than satisfied. I’d highly recommend Khaled for anyone hoping to experience a thoughtfully put together tour with a terrifically kind human being.

Excellent and thorough tour. Khaled provided in-depth information at each of the sites. The tour lasted about 10 hours and we were wiped out by the end of the day

Khaled is a knowledgeable and respectful tour guide. He took the time to explain the different sites, as well as his own views and theories as Egyptologist. He was good at providing insights in preparation for each site - what to expect, tipping, bargaining souvenirs, etc. I would recommend taking this tour with Khaled.

I loved the group we had. Everyone was so fun and lovely. Our tourguide Khaled was super knowledgeable and so sweet. All of the temples were incomprehensibly beautiful and Khaled did an amazing job of explaining everything to us.
