Private Half-Day Tour to Karnak & Luxor Temples From Luxor

Our guide’s (Bola Salah) English was OK. Actual tour time in temples was rather short. He could have explained the sites, history, and city more in detail. It felt like we spent more time in overpriced shops and restaurant (e.g., waited 15 mins in an empty papyrus store, and overpriced oil fragment store called Elite academy of aromatherapy). Then we shortly stopped at Luxor temple. The lunch was in a tourist trap restaurant (Sunset cafe) by the nile. The view was nice but the food was average, and place was not very clean. Two guava drinks costed 9 USD. Overall, the tour was cheap-ish but we could have organized it ourselves with a local driver/guide. One of the weakest tours we attended in Egypt, as other tours were much better in terms of information and lack of intrusive stops.

I went to Karnak temple at 11:30 am, which was a huge mistake as it was 45 degrees Celsius! The guide, Salma, walked with me for ten minutes and then told me I could walk in my own for thirty minutes. Then, a temple worker asked me for a tip because he suggested that I take a photo from a certain spot! Since the heat was too overbearing, I decided to go to Luxor Museum instead. But before I visited a shop to get some souvenirs. The vendor tried to rip me off and my tour guide, Salma, could see that the vendor was trying to rip me off and she intervened. Salma walked me out of that tricky situation and found me a more reasonable vendor. In addition, she drove me to Luxor temple and got me a to go meal.

A very good experience, Demiana explains really well and is very nice! Thank you very much.

Great tour! Alaa Hassan was our guide today, he was super welcoming and friendly. We felt very comfortable with him too. He was super informative and had a lot of extra stories to tell. We had a good time and are looking forward to our next tour with him.

We had an excellent experience with Beshoy. He was incredibly knowledgeable and provided fascinating insights into the history, culture, and significance of every site we visited. What stood out most was his patience, he never rushed us, encouraged us to ask as many questions as we wanted, and always took the time to give thoughtful and detailed answers. He was also very considerate throughout the tour, giving us plenty of opportunities to stop, take photos, and enjoy the monuments at our own pace. His professionalism, enthusiasm, and friendly attitude made the experience both educational and enjoyable. I would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Luxor and looking for a guide who is informative, patient, and genuinely committed to providing a great experience.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience visiting the Luxor temples with our tour guide Mina. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, friendly and incredibly passionate about Egypt’s history and culture. Mina was also very kind, patient, and attentive throughout the tour, always making sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves. His enthusiasm and expertise truly made this one of the highlights of our trip to Luxor. We highly recommend Mina to anyone visiting Luxor and looking for an exceptional tour guide experience. Thank you, Mina, for such a wonderful day!

Guide , communication were great. My schedule was a bit up in the air and they were very flexible.

Mohammad has 3 masters degrees under his belt! He is full of knowledge and able to teach you on many subjects. He will ask your preferences like focusing on history or mythology or culture...you pick, he will craft the tour to your interests. The tour was worth way more than his modest price. Definitely chose this companybtondeliver. They picked us up from a remote west bank boutique hotel (Jewel Howard Carter, also amazing) and delivered more than promised. Enjoy an intro to Luxor from someone born and educated in the mysteries of Egypt!

It was an amazing experience! Our tour guide Manual was very nice and showed us and explained a lot of things. Highly recommended tour to anyone looking for a great experience in Luxor!

I took the tour (admission fees included at the time of booking) with the guide Amr through Karnak and Luxor Temples. He is very well-informed and engaging. The guide and driver are patient and accommodating. The temples are astounding to visit, and you must visit them if you are in Luxor. The temple is not overcrowded, but be aware that it was hot even in May so bring a hat and sun protection.
