From East to West: A Satisfying Luxor Tour with My Mother
Thank you for accepting our reservation even though we made it suddenly the night before. Thanks to you, my mother and I were able to complete the West Bank tour in Luxor. The tour, which started early in the morning, was very satisfying. It was a one-day tour covering both the East and West Banks of Luxor, but since we had already visited Luxor Temple the previous day, we requested in advance to replace it with another site, and our request was kindly approved. The car’s air conditioning worked well, it was clean, and the driver was very kind. He was a veteran driver who had worked in Luxor for many years and clearly had great affection for his country. We were also able to leave our belongings — such as water, snacks, and a power bank — in the car and explore the archaeological sites freely without carrying extra bags. However, because the weather was extremely hot, my mother became tired quickly, so we ended the tour early and took a rest. I’m glad that we chose to travel with a private van instead of joining a group tour. I’m still traveling abroad, so I don’t have time to write a longer review right now, but we were very satisfied with the tour and I’d definitely like to recommend it to my friends once I return home.
Great experience
We had a great experience with this tour. Easy pick up and transfers all over Luxor. Our tour guide Ashraf was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. It really made our experience and time in Luxor memorable.
Overall everything went...
Overall everything went well, except for the part where they say the water is free, but the driver tried to charge us for the water, but then we got in touch with the company and everything was resolved.
Once in a lifetime experience
Mohamed Eltiba was a great guide. It so was nice to be informed about the temples, the tombs and everything
Full Day exploring Luxor!
Our guide Ahmed was great! He was super knowledgeable about every stop we made, friendly + personable. We were able to take our time with each stop and got great pictures. Our pick up from the hotel was on time and drove us to each stop. We started early 8am and we’re back by 4pm. We were able to stop for water and snacks in between the temples and Valley of the Kings. Overall our experience was a 10/10!
