Luxor West Bank Private Tour: Valley Kings, Hatshepsut Temple med lunch

Picked up from the Hilton after early morning balloon ride (booked with another operator) and visited the Valley of the Kings and Mortuary Temple. Our guide was knowledgeable on the history and background of each site, and explained options for visiting the various tombs as the park ticket only allows 3 tomb visits with any more requiring additional fees. We had done our homework and had our top five tombs to see and in 30 C weather at end January saw them all. Our driver was very polite, courteous and drove very professionally. Excellent group to use for tours in Luxor. On time and made visit very enjoyable.

A great afternoon seeing the amazing sites of the West Bank. As a family we really enjoyed this whole tour.

Our driver, Abanaub was great! His English was limited but, he drove safely and found ways to communicate using his phone. He was on time and was very respectful. The car was nice and clean. He did offer to take us to eat lunch, however we decided not to go. I would definitely recommend the car and driver package we bought!

We had a great trip around the West Bank to Valley Of The Kings, Temple of Hatshepsut etc. Our guide was very friendly and informative and she had a lot of information for us to understand what we were seeing. Our driver was also very good and always ready to take us to the next stop. A great afternoon out.

Fantastic trip and guide Dina was an absolute asset. Relaxed and chilled at a pace that was easy and Dina had phenomenal knowledge. Plenty of time given for photo opportunities. Obviously an obligatory stop at an alabaster factory where prices are inflated but tbh no real hard sells. Great value for money and will use again on next visit.

Really wonderful experience Michael was a really great guide. Made sure we got breaks and gave details and interesting facts which were interesting different without being overwhelming would very much recommend this trip

This was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. I highly recommend a guided tour. It only to learn about the history if the site, but the guide knew which sites to visit first. That made a big difference as it felt like we were the only ones there. The crowds came in as we were leaving. The guide, Bassem, was my favorite guide of the whole trip. Very relatable. Great energy. He spoke great English and was very knowledgeable about the historical events.

Just perfect! Drivers were all very kind and professional. They were kind and nice. And a whole tour was just like it was described. I definitely recommend this tour.

The guide Merit was extremely helpful and social, she provided me with knowledge prior to entering the tombs, which made me know what to focus/look at while inside the tombs, instead of being overwhelmed. It was also just purely amazing to just stand in the valley of the kings and see the view, the natural pyramid and the tombs.

I want to make additional comments. I am very happy with the private tour to Valley of Kings, Temple of Hatshepsut. My guide Mark came to pick me up exactly at the appointed time of 11 am. He was patient and polite throughout the tour. He was knowledgeable and recommended the most interesting tombs to visit. Since there was still time after the tour, he organized for a reasonable extra fee a separate boat trip to banana island and to Luxor Temple upon my request. While visiting Luxor Temple, he pointed out a mosque still in use sitting on top of an old church which had in turn been built on a pharaonic temple. I was awed by the sight of the political or religious history of Egypt embodied in this unpretentious building. It is worth mentioning that Mark took photos of me in strategic locations and skillfully shot panoramas, which is amazing. I liked the tasty oriental Falafel for lunch that he bought me. He made a point of not including salad in the Falafel as my stomach was somehow sensitive to raw vegetables in Egypt Mark never gave me any pressure when proposing sites to visit. He was a thoughtful and resourceful guide. Many thanks to Mark for the wonderful tour. I highly recommend the tour and guide.
