I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. Gabriel was a great guide, very knowledgeable about ancient Egypt, sharing all the information I wanted and then even more. He was polite, professional, and waited for me patiently while I took my time roaming the tombs. If you want a comprehensive and professional tour in Luxor, look no further. Highly recommended.
Marwa fatafeat elsoker was a great guide and very knowledgeable. The temples we were shown were very beautful. Had a lovely lunch afterwards.
Mohamed, our guide through the Valley of the Kings, was an absolute treasure. His passion for history and engaging storytelling brought the ancient tombs to life. He patiently answered all our questions and shared fascinating insights we would have otherwise missed. His expertise truly enriched our experience of this remarkable historical site. We are so grateful for his guidance and the wonderful memories created.
Booked this trip the night before with my Grandmother. The agency were incredibly accomodating and were more than able to squeeze us in on this once in a lifetime trip! Unlike other offers for the same experience, you must purchase your own entry, however this is incredibly straight forward and is completely worth the experience you will have. Our guide, Gabriel met us in our Hotel Lobby and made us feel incredibly welcome. Gabriel escorted us through both Valleys and his knowledge of egyptology was clearly second to none. No question was too small and he always went out of his way to point out and explain sites of interest. Be prepared to spend more than 5 hours at this activity as Gabriel will completely follow your lead and not limit you or your interest at all. He and his driver Michael were both such a pleasure to spend the day with and went out of their way to be helpful. Michael was incredibly kind in escorting myself and my grandmother personally on and off the bus, and Gabriel was (not to be punny) an angel. I happened to fall ill during the trip, and he was very compassionate in ensuring that I was okay and out of the sun. As Gabriel often said, we were his family, and that is what you should expect when spending the day with him. Both members of staff were a credit to the agency and anyone should feel lucky to be spending time in their company. Thank you Gabriel and Michael for an amazing day out!
It was a great excursion with guide Gabriel Kaddees. He has superb knowledge of ancient Egypt and is passionate in explaining. This holds not only for the temples of Luxor and KingsValley, but also in his guiding during the tours in Edfu and Kom Ombo.
Very good, with a great Guide, like Mohamed, it was great. He explained us well, he made us travel. To visit.
Great experience, knowledgeable guide, good food! The different tombs were amazing to see - they’re very intricate and colourful.
It’s a scam. The tour guide didn’t guide me around most of the exhibits. She made me pay for her lunch which she charged me $20 for. She said she had to leave early so I was dropped off at the airport and had to wait 5 hours before my flight. When she realised I tipped her 600 EGP, on top of paying for her lunch, she drove to the airport to demand more money from me. To be clear, I paid for the full tour up front. Please go with another provided.
Marwa was amazing. The tour was great. I recommend. Marwa is the queen of the valley, the modern Nefertari. You will have very explanations.
Ahmed Yossry is an exceptional guide - his wisdom and knowledge about Luxor and Egyptian history is astounding! He spoke well & shared a lot of insights to our visits and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Ahmed. Food was amazing too!! This Luxor tour was excellent, highly recommended to book now!
