Traveler reviews
Great experience in Luxor
We had a wonderful, and packed, day tour of the main sights in Luxor with Taia. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly, making sure to give us the main information at the start of the tour and then giving us sufficient time to explore on our own. The driver, whose name I regretfully didn't catch, was great as well. I would highly recommend booking a tour with Emo Tours (I booked via Viator).
The best trip in Egypt!
We had an incredible experience on our Luxor trip, and we can’t say enough good things about our guide, Sam. 5 star review, if I can give 10 star I will that how good he is! He is extremely knowledgeable and truly knows what he’s talking about. Every place we visited, from the temples to the tombs, came to life because of the way he explained the history, culture, and stories behind them. Sam has such a rich understanding of Egyptian history, and he shares it in a way that’s both interesting and easy to follow. He’s also very engaging, patient, and fun to talk to, which made the whole day even better. We learned so much and enjoyed every moment of the tour. If you’re visiting Luxor, we highly recommend Sam—he made the experience unforgettable!
West Bank Tour and Alabaster Shop
Visited Sakhmat’s shop. Very honest and easy to deal with. Good price, but takes some haggling, like everywhere in Egypt. Overall a very pleasant experience
Amazing tour of Luxor sites
We had a wonderd and very informative tour of Luxor with Mahmoud Oraby. He was very helpful explaining both the big picture and the details of everything from the Valley of the kings to the east bank temples. Never rushed us and really felt like a friend was touring around.
Super recommended, ask for the Samar guide.
The tour was just amazing. Our guide, Samar, was a 10/10: friendly, attentive and with impressive knowledge. He accompanied us throughout the tour, explaining every detail with passion and clarity. We learned a lot from it and patiently answered all our questions. Your warmth and dedication made our day in Luxor unforgettable. An experience I would recommend without hesitation!
