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

We had a great half-day private tour of Karnak and Luxor Temples with Salma as our tour guide. She was friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Our driver Mahmoud was also fantastic. He went above and beyond what was expected of him when he helped me navigate a very busy post office so I could buy postage stamps for my postcards. Overall, we were very satisfied with this tour thanks to Salma and Mahmoud.

Asma is awesome. Very knowledgeable. My husband and I enjoyed the tour. Definitely recommend this tour. Thank you for welcoming us.

Very pleasant half-day! The guide Maria was interesting and knowledgeable and spoke French well. The meal is optional, or else we should think about a more traditional meal.

Our guide Demi was very good and knowledgeable and showed us around well. we wanted to spend more time in Karnak temple than luxor temple and we would have appreciated if she could have made that small change in the tour

Nice guide who was knowledgeable and did a good job of taking us everywhere that we had signed up for with good price.

Mena oweda my guide was amazing, he answer all of my questions and was gentle. The driver was amazing also, they pick me up punctual and drive really good! I would definitely do it again. The place wasn’t that crowded because I went at 2 PM so I could definitely take good pictures.

I want to thank Asma for providing so much information about the history of Karnak and Luxor Temple. I highly recommend her. You will get so much for the tour. Thank you for welcoming us!

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.
