Absolutely brilliant. Ended up being a private tour so made a special experience for our small group. Laila, our guide was lovely and very kind. She was extremely helpful with navigating the attractions and the vendors. She was very knowledgeable about the background and history of the ancient Egyptians, helped us book an extra short trip on the Nile to meet some lovely animals and their carers on banana Island. The experience of travelling on the Nile was worth it on its own. Also helped us get a good deal on some authentic souvenirs and took us to a very tasty local restaurant. She made things very clear and her English was very good. Highly recommended! Well worth it!

We visited Luxor yesterday. Our lovely guide, Laila, took us to see all the sights in a pleasant, friendly, and memorable way. We highly recommend it
Our tour guidd Laila was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Despite having read mixed reviews me and my husband decided to still book because of the good reviews outweighing the bad ones. And we are most happy with our trip. We were picked up at 3:30 in the night, the drivers were on time and polite. The pick up being so early is to arrive around 7 o clock in order to escape the peak burning sun in Luxor which we appreciate as otherwise it will be too hot. The sights are magnificent as you take a look at the remnants of ancient Egypt and learn more about their way of thinking. We had enough time to see what we wanted. I recommend wear a good closed shoe, bring a hat, and wear loose linen or cotton clothes! Cold water was also free and included in the trip as well as an ice cream at the end of the trip which our guide Laila bought for us. The nile river trip was nice and worth the 20 euros for 2 person. A great moment to get some shade from the sun and see the views from the riverbanks. The Alabaster factory was interesting to see altough we did not buy anything and were also not pressured to buy anythinf as other reviews stated. Furthermore there was enough bathroom breaks yes for some you must pay 20 egyptian pounda but this has been the case with many other bathrooms we noticed. And coming from holland this is nothing new to us, it is common to have to pay for public restroom during the lunch included the bathroom was free. We will remember our guide Laila and all her knowledge. The trip is worth it if you are a history lover just be well prepared for the sun and expect a lot of walking.
The experience was great. From the pick up, the core of it all and the drop off. The guide was really informative. Very friendly and interactive with her explanation. We had Laila, very sweet, kind and attentive guide. Price wise was great, the time of the explanation and for your own time for picture was perfectly balanced. The group was small enough for everybody can get the attention they deserve. Once again, I would love to recommend Laila!!!
Our experience on this trip was really amazing! Luxor was beautiful and we had a wonderful guide Laila that explained absolutely everything thoroughly and well. We learned a lot about the history and ways of people in ancient Egypt and it was overall very fun! What I really appreciated was the fact that our guide was open to questions and discussions and was very kind to us! If any of the people I'm close with ever go to Egypt I will definitely recommend this because it was a truly unforgettable experience.
An Absolute 10/10 Experience! I booked this company last minute for my mum and myself, and they completely blew us away! Right from the start, their communication was flawless sending welcome messages and multiple backup contacts so we felt totally taken care of. Our driver was prompt, professional, and navigate the roads perfectly. But the real star of the day was our incredible tour guide, Alahdin! He was a wealth of knowledge, answered every single question we threw at him, and gave us the perfect balance of fascinating history and plenty of free time for photos. He truly went above and beyond, keeping us safe with local tips and constantly looking out for our well-being reminding us to stay hydrated, reapply sunscreen, and wear our hats. Every single site on the itinerary was spectacular and exactly as promised. Thank you so much for an unforgettable day. If you’re on the fence, book them immediately I cannot recommend this company enough from what I have seen..
Everything really perfect! Three years ago I had already done an excursion to Cairo from Sharm with them and I had a great time! I contacted them to ask if pickup from Marsa Alam was possible, they organized everything down to the smallest detail. Adel came to pick us up by private taxi at 4 and at 5 he took us to the meeting point with the rest of the group where the excursion then started. Being the only Italians, my partner and I were lucky enough to have a practically private guide, Mr. Islam, who explained so many things to us and also gave us time to take photos on our own while he waited for us. It was truly perfect in every way, thanks again from Silvia and Giuseppe ♥️
Had an absolutely amazing experience with Book Tour Egypt! Everything was flawlessly organized from start to finish, and their attention to detail made the trip truly unforgettable. I had the best time, and I’ll definitely be booking my next trip with them again!"
Well organised tour with timely pickup and travelling. The minibus was comfortable and the drivers careful. The guide was funny and knowledgeable and the sites speak for themselves. Recommended.
