Full view of Lúxor

Complete and reasonably detailed tour to Luxor's ancient monuments. Karnak-Luxor temples and Valley of kings & Hatshepsut tomb. Salma, our guide, was a great professional plenty of knowledge, information and curious details. She speaks clearly in perfect English and despite we're not native we can follow all of her discuss. Lunch acceptable, included. An inevitable visit to an alabaster workshop—but with very good products at reasonable prices.

Amazing tour to Luxor

5-star experience in Luxor! Prof Mahmoud Hasan is an amazing tour guide who brought the temples to life. He was punctual, highly organized, and provided great quality information without ever rushing us. We saw so much, including [mention a tomb or temple], and learned even more. Thank you, Hasan for making our trip a highlight of our time in Egypt
