Very fun and calm. The guide Mastafa was an amazing and knew the history very well and a good story teller. - Mustafa was very fun and friendly guide. Very knowledgeable in Egyptian history. Everything during the day went smoothly, we went at our own pace which was nice as a private tour. Both company and guide on the day were very accommodating to us, making sure we’re were alright with the activities during the tour. The food during lunch was also very nice. The beef tagin and grilled chicken would probably be the best pick.
Would definitely recommend this private tour for people that wants to go around without having a massive group to be with. The guide is there mainly for you and your group alone so you don’t feel rushed while taking the history of Egypt.

Must do private tour in Luxor! - Started off a bit sceptical as I originally booked through Viator but the pricing on Viator was incorrect so paid in cash.
The day started of with a prompt 5am pick up from our hotel in Hurghada, all info needed (passport details, names etc) was collected in advance so it was smooth sailing to Hurghada (approx 3h25min drive).
We visited all the sites, Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temples, Luxor Temples, Colossi of Memnon etc and were thoroughly looked after the entire day. From making sure we had breaks between stops to making sure we walked in the shade to escape from the Luxor heat!
Mustafa was our guide for the day and was absolutely FANTASTIC, he kept us all immersed in the history and culture we saw and made it so so fun by adding quizzes. I’m amazed I retained so much info LOL
All in all, you should DEFINITELY let Wow Travel host you to enjoy the beautiful culture and history with you rvisit to Egypt but most especially Luxor with the fab Mustafa!
