Luxor Spectacular

Have to give it to this company. I dropped a request to do this tour with them with 36 hours notice, after having my tour cancelled at the last minute with another company, and they pulled off the arrangements with ease. Outstanding. The tour itself was full-on and well worth the effort of the long day. The tour guide, Mahmoud Oraby, was a veritable font of knowledge, and unobtrusive in his approach. Thankyou, you made our day. The driver, Mohammed, was punctual and professional. We will definitely be back to Luxor, and we have some wonderful memories thanks to this company and it staff. A big thank you from us, you save us from a significant disappointment due to the failures of others.

Discovering Luxor Through the eyes of a True Expert

I had the pleasure of enjoying a private one-day excursion in Luxor with the Egyptologist guide Sam, and it was truly an exceptional experience. From the very beginning, he demonstrated great professionalism, punctuality, and an impressive depth of knowledge about ancient Egyptian history. His explanations at each temple were clear, engaging, and full of fascinating details that brought the monuments to life. Sam answered all my questions with patience and precision, sharing not only information but also his genuine passion and respect for Egyptian culture. He was attentive, kind, and made sure that every moment of the tour was comfortable and enjoyable. The itinerary was perfectly organized, allowing me to make the most of my time without ever feeling rushed. Thanks to Sam, my visit to Luxor became an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend him to anyone wishing to discover Egypt through the eyes of a true professional who clearly loves what he does. A big thanks to the driver as well!

Experience of a lifetime

There was so much to see. The scale of these monuments is humbling. The artwork is mesmerizing. The history is very interesting and my guide Angie was fabulous at bringing it all to life.

Beware of guides and their agenda!

Luxor is very nice and tons of history there but beware of being taken to stores that have nothing to do with your intentions! I found many guides are very much interested in taking you to places they have connections with so you will buy and they will get a cut of the profits! It takes a ton of time away from them having to actually be a guide.
