Tour operator did not show up. Waited over an hour and a half. No contact from the tour operator. Very disappointing. Been up since 4am.
Great trip! The driver was good and the tour guide was very knowledgeablle and kind. I can recommend this trip to everybody!
We had a wonderful trip, and can't thank our guide Said enough. He was very knowledgeable and looked after us very well all day. From start to finish he guided us through the day perfectly. Can't recommend him highly enough! Also a shout out to our wonderful driver Mohammed (I hope I have the spelling correct!) He was with us every step of the way, also very helpful and knowledgeable and was a great help throughout the day.
The Private Luxor Day Trip from Hurghada surpassed all expectations – a seamless blend of personalized service and mesmerizing historical wonders. Highly recommended for an unforgettable adventure.
The private tour added a personal touch to exploring ancient wonders. Our expert guide brought history to life, from the awe-inspiring Valley of the Kings to the grandeur of Karnak Temple. The flexibility allowed us to savor each moment at our own pace. A truly memorable experience – highly recommended for couples seeking a tailored adventure!
*My wife and I had an amazing experience in Luxor yesterday, as we had a great team behind all of it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *Firstly, Michael, our driver, came and picked us up with a clean and comfortable car, from the front hotel, early in the morning. He made all the long journey feel nice and smooth. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *Secondly, our guide, Said, welcomed us in Luxor and didn’t miss one thing to show and explain to us. He was really professional, patient (helping and waiting for us to take pictures everywhere) and a great energy. His English is very good and he’s also experienced and explains really well. *We were so impressed with the whole experience, the historical places and temples we visited, all sightseeings and the way people live their lives in Egypt. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *We highly recommend both Michael and Said to accompany your journey and make your visit even more meaningful. Thank you so much, guys! We hope to see you again :) Dragos & Jolie
The guide was excellent as was the driver and I could not fault them. It was an amazing trip. Casper, the guide was excellent. Casper really knew his subject and did not rush at all. DO NOT go into the café place they stop at on route as they are a total rip-off. Because I was paying attention to my boys, I did not initially pick up on the fact that the café charge £30 for four drinks and for bars of chocolate. If it was not for this. I would have happily given them five stars. Apart from the café, I would be more than happy to book with them again.
On our summer holiday to Hurghada, we wanted to see something from Egypt. We chose Luxor to visit as it was less far then Caïro. With this trip you get picked up by a nice, airconditioned vehicle. We had a really amazing driver Achmed who picked us up at the resort at 5:30. He was such a kind person and made sure we had a good trip to Luxor, as he takes real good care of you! It takes 4 hours to get there. As we arrived, our tour guide Saïd was immediately ready to start. He was such a smart smart person and had so much knowledge. He could answer all of our questions and even though it was 43C degrees, he tried to make it as comfortable as possible. In fact, the whole trip was mesmerizing and mindblowing!
We had a great experience and trip to Luxor through this agency. We were picked up in front of our hotel in Hurghada early in the morning and driven to Luxor where we met with our tour guide at the Karnak Temple. We visited a series of historic sites on both sides of the river and also had a nice lunch and a short cruise on the Nile River. Some negatives: - No bottled water provided even though it was supposed to be included in the price. - Driver barely spoke any English. Overall very good value for the money. This package does not include the entrance fees but this is still a cheaper option than some of the other packages out there.
It took 5hrs from Hurghada to Luxor and 4hrs for the ride back. Though the ride was long, going to all the sites was worth it. Plus the tour guide was very knowledgeable and the drivers did their best to get us on time.
