I cannot fault the sites they were absolutely breathtaking however the tour itself was very disappointing. They arrived very late for pickup to start - not fun with a 4:30am planned meet. whilst I asked and paid for a tour in English, it turns out the entire tour was in Romanian/ Polish which was a shame as I learnt nothing on the day about the sites we were seeing. I would not recommend this to anyone as everything is a massive upsell and a solo female traveller it was exhausting.
If you have limited time this is a half decent whistle stop tour of Luxor. However the balance of timings was all off. We spent longer in the alabaster factory than in the tombs - which is just wrong. Also Banana Island is a con. It’s a dirty place with some monkeys in a small cage, one being dragged around on a lead by a young child and an aligator stuck in a cage that resembled a well. Definitely not worth the additional £88 we paid as a family. It didn’t seem like it was an optional thing. But if it was I’d defo say AVOID. The time we spent in this place could be spent going to Luxor Temple or just longer at the main attractions
The most memorable part was all as it's all if our History, our English Tour Guide went above and beyond can nit Fault him in any way. Thank you.
Inexplicably I was the only English speaking person in the bus with other visitors from Romania probably. One lady expressed her dissent always when our guide provided me comments in English about a expozition. Also there was massive and aggressive harassment from local sellers when we were about to see Luxor's monuments.
We were picked up very early in the morning (04:45) by our tour operator (alltours) from our hotel with a spacious, modern and air-conditioned coach. After all the participants (about 20) had been collected, the trip started. Already on the way to Luxor we got some information from the guide about the country and people in Egypt. You drive through the desert, along the Nile and through some villages. After about 2.5 hours there was a first rest where toilets and various vending stalls were available. In general, in Egypt, you are very much harassed by the sellers to buy something. You get the feeling of constantly walking through the alleys saying “no thanks”. Our first real stop was the Karnak Temple. An archaeologist (“Aladin”) gave us a lot of information about the sights on the entire tour in German. Afterwards we went to a restaurant with buffet for lunch. After dinner we crossed the Nile by boat, which had to be paid extra (1,50€/person). The next stop was the Valley of the Kings, where we were in three tombs of Ramses II, III and IX. You could also have visited the tomb of Tutankhamun for an extra charge. But since this tomb looks exactly like the other tombs according to our guide, we did not visit this one anymore. The trip continued with the visit of alabaster stone carvers. Here we were shown how to make figures, bowls and vases from alabaster. Then we were at the temple of Hatshepsut. Finally, there was a stop at the Memnon Colossi. Overall, the trip was very nice! Especially the German-speaking tour guide and the German-speaking archaeologist have contributed significantly to our being able to gain so many positive impressions. Despite the long drive and the heat in the desert of Egypt, the excursion is definitely recommended!
Request all costs upfront as there will be excessive additional charges to view everything, admission to tombs and history is essential to experience tour properly and you will be charged for anything possible even toilet paper. Toyr guide was informative
We(our 4 member family) were the only English speaking members of the group. Main group were Polish. In the tour bus there was only Polish tour guide, but in Luxor an English tour guide was waiting for us. Mohammed was absolutely amazing! Very knowledgeable, polite, funny! He made our day so memorable! We learnt many things and had the rear chance to see the sites not too crowded, especially the Karnak temple, where we came early in the morning, before all the groups. The restaurant for the lunch was good. We liked the trip to Banana island too, nevertheless that it was on additional cost.
Very nice trip, it takes all day from the early morning ( around 3:30am) but it is so worth it, one of the best views you will see in Luxor.
Marvellous day out in Louxor! Our guide Mohammed is passionate about his job and will answer all your questions, thank you Ramses ,-)The day is full on and you will see many breathtaking sights. We had to pay £10 extra for a Nile cruise which was worth it! The only issue is the compulsory stop to an Alabaster shop that took far too long as we wished we had spent more time in Karnak! Apart from that a great trip! Thanks Mohammed and the team!
Great day seeing all the sites! Very informative guide and a fantastic experience! I would recommend it to anyone short on time in Luxor!
