Great day in Luxor!

Angie was an outstanding guide! She was so kind, informative, and patient. We asked to stop for shopping and she found us a great spot with no problem. She added in an alabaster factory stop that was a great experience! Our lunch was delicious and we managed to avoid the crowds everywhere we went. Ahmed was the best driver and was a pro at finding shade whenever he could. We had a wonderful day touring the West Bank!

Karnak and Luxor temples

This experience was truly amazing, whether it was the extraordinary Karnak temple or our guide who shared all his knowledge with great passion and humor, not to mention the last-minute arrangements when we completely forgot to change the time of our excursion and the fact that we were suggested to delay our meeting to be able to watch the sunset over the Luxor temple; everything was in place for us to have an unforgettable moment. I warmly recommend this guide and his energy, as well as his driver. The time was very well organized between explanations (always with the presence of mind to do it in the shade) and free time for us to explore and take photos at our leisure. The only small downside, which is not at all their fault: the exorbitant and non-negotiable price of drinks at the Luxor temple, once we said goodbye to our guide.

Excellent guide at the West Bank in Luxor

We had a great experience with Mr. Sayed Gamal as our guide. He helped us really understand the context of the East and West Bank in Luxor in a clear and engaging way, which made everything we saw much more meaningful. He also shared fascinating insights about the Pharaohs’ tombs that we would have easily missed on our own. His explanations were efficient, well-structured, and easy to follow, without ever feeling rushed. I would definitely recommend him.

Incredible guide and experience!

Excellent tour from start to finish. Sayed is a fabulous guide. He is very knowledgeable about all of the sites and the history surrounding it. He provided great background information and context at each of our stops. He is also a very kind guide, coordinated with me starting earlier than planned to account for the heat, and made sure I had enough downtime in the shade or free time around each site for pictures. I felt really well cared for while learning about these incredible places! Our driver was Ahmed, who was very attentive, punctual and got us from place to place safely and comfortably.

Great Guide and comfortable drive

The Guide Sayed Gamal is very nice, explains a lot of stuff and communicates clearly, Amr as the driver was amazing too, the car is very comfortable The tours were amazing but there was one bad experience in a temple where a guy tried to force me to pay him taxes out of nowhere just because he walked down with us - outside of that bad experience this was a really good trip and the Sayed is amazing
