Amazing experience!

We had the best time with Ahmed. He picked us up on time, explained everything to us, he has a great knowledge of history and was able to answer all our questions. He told us the story of every place we visited, with dates and details. He even helped us with taking photos and made sure we catch our bus on time after the tour. He is just too experienced and very polite. I totally recommand booking this tour, we covered everything in one full day.

First class tour , highly recommend

Fabulous day. Ahmed tailored the day to our exact needs. He was punctual and communication before was excellent. The tour started the moment he picked us up explaining the history of Luxor before we went up the West Bank. At valley of kings he made recommendations as to what extra tombs to visit otherwise no queuing for tickets he organised it all in advance. He is very knowledgeable and stopped for drinks and food when we need to . We are using this business again this week and hope to arrange another day before to go home.

I will miss it

The most beautiful visit I had in Egypt with the brilliant guide Ahmed Imam, who always had something new to talk about ancient and modern Egyptian history. A visit to the Karnak Temple Complex, Luxor Temple, the Valley of the Kings, and Hatshepsut Temple. An unforgettable day of memories.

A Fantastic Experience From Start to Finish!

We had the best time exploring Luxor with Hello Egypt tours! Ahmed was a fantastic guide from start to finish! We managed to see everything that we wanted to given our relatively short stay in Luxor. Ahmed was very punctual, flexible & most importantly very knowledgeable! We felt like we'd learned a lot throughout the day & were also given plenty of time to explore the various temples/sites in our own time too! We'd highly recommend Hello Egypt tours to anyone wanting a professional guide to explore all the amazing sites in Luxor =)

A one-day binge-watching tour of Luxor's highlights!

Touring with Ahmed is very recommended as we are happy!! I was glad that they explained each of them in English, which was very easy for me to understand, even as a non-native. "They also take a lot of nice pictures for me when I'm traveling alone, and it was a very satisfying tour, as Ahmed said, "I'm going to make it the best tour I've ever been on."" In the Valley of the Kings and other sightseeing spots, some guides can come in with me and not explain there, but Ahmed politely explained to me where I didn't understand later, saying, "If you don't understand anything, go take a picture and tell me." I sometimes stop by souvenir shops along the way as a workshop, but you don't have to force yourself to buy them, so if you only buy what you want, it's fine. (I wish I'd bought a few Egyptian stone candlesticks...) If you come to Luxor, I recommend you get him to guide you! You can efficiently travel around the tourist sites in one day, and the historical background will multiply the fun of your trip!!

An unforgettable experience with Ahmed

An Unforgettable Experience with Ahmed in Luxor An Unforgettable Experience with Ahmed in Luxor We arrived in Luxor from cold Denmark and were warmly greeted by the incredibly friendly and professional guide, Ahmed, at the airport. From the very start, we could tell we were in good hands. Ahmed is not only an outstanding guide, but he also has an amazing ability to tailor tours to our interests and energy levels. He made sure everyone was included, regardless of pace, creating a truly unique and personal experience. Ahmed's knowledge of Luxor and its history is impressive. He shared his passion for the 3500-year-old cultural treasures with us in a lively and engaging way, allowing us to understand and appreciate the area's rich history on a deeper level. Over the three days we spent together, Ahmed took us to all the major temples and sights in Luxor. But the experience didn’t end there. Ahmed invited us to some of Luxor’s most wonderful restaurants, where we were treated to delicious meals and had the pleasure of enjoying the company of local people. This extra touch made the experience even more special. On the third day, we suggested swapping the luxury car for a tuk-tuk, and that turned out to be one of the best experiences of the trip. We spent the day exploring the agricultural areas around Luxor, getting an authentic glimpse into local life – an unforgettable experience. Ahmed also arranged a hot air balloon ride for us, which began early in the morning at 4:00 AM. We floated over Luxor's temples for an hour before landing softly in a field. Ahmed made sure we had the most experienced pilot, and the entire experience was safe and professional – a truly incredible adventure we will never forget. We highly recommend Ahmed as a guide. His passion, professionalism, and ability to make every experience unique make him the best guide we could have asked for in Luxor.

The best solution for tourists who like to learn

I went with the driver and our guide Ahmed Eman . We left at 6am and went to the Valley of the Kings, where the sunrise was so beautiful and there were so few tourists we could fully enjoy it. The guide's explanation was very detailed and it was great. It was a private tour, so they made a good plan to send us a list of where they wanted to go. They also introduced us to some of the best places to eat lunch, which is more relaxing than going on a tour with lunch. My guide had a great knowledge of ancient Egypt, so I enjoyed the tombs of nobles and queens, which I had not expected much. I also went to the temple, where he explained the patterns on the walls one by one, and he explained them in a way that even I, who had little knowledge of Egypt, could understand clearly. I was worried if I could understand the explanation in English, but he explained it in an easy-to-understand way when there are words that I did not understand.

Best experience. Make a reservation now, everybody! I won't regret it. Fully Private Tour

It has been a great day! This time, the plan was to spend a day touring the ruins of the West Bank of Luxor. This is a completely private tour with free customization. You can make a list of the places we want to visit, allocate your time freely, and see as many ruins as you like. We also decide the departure time. (We went from 6:00 a.m. to 16:30 p.m. to the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Queen Funeral Hall, Valley of the Queens, Medinethab, Tomb of the Nobles, Seti I Funeral Hall. We went to the Valley of the Kings early in the morning, so there are very few people and it is almost reserved. It was nice to take a long, slow tour!) My guide Ahmed was very kind to me. Since we were not good at English, they explained in simple English in a clear way. And he did everything we wanted and wanted to go to. They took me to a good place for lunch, to an alabaster craft shop and a gallery of replica murals near aristocratic tombs, bought me a drink, arranged for me to see the Nile on my way back, and even arranged for me to ride a horse-drawn carriage that I had given up on because it was difficult to negotiate on my own, giving me a valuable experience not only of visiting the ruins but also of learning about modern Egyptian culture. He helped me when I couldn't get away from the staff at the alabaster shop. I was really, really happy with his thoughtfulness and I almost cried because I was half happy to experience so many things in Egypt for the first time in my life, and I was also a little scared to interact with people. Thank you, Ahmed, for giving us a wonderful experience today! It was a lot of fun. Thanks to you, I love Egypt even more than before!
