The Best Tour of my Life!!! - Firstly, I would love to give this tour 100 stars if it was possible! Without our driver Ahmed, and our tour guide Said, this tour would not have as incredible as it was! We visited 6 locations throughout the duration of the day including a 40 minute trip on the Nile- without them it wouldn’t have been possible!! They made the entire day possible. First we started from Hurghada to Luxor, this ride is usually 4 hours by bus but our private driver took us there in 2 hours and 45 minutes. Our driver opted in taking us 30 minutes earlier so that we could arrive to the Temple of Karnak first, before any of the other tourist buses came. This was an incredible experience to have the entire location to practically ourselves. By the time we were leaving Karnak, the tourists had started to arrive and it was already so packed with people. At Karnak we also met our tour guide Said, where he remained with us for the rest of the day until our last stop. After the Temple of Karnak, we visited a papyrus factory, where we had our own private tour, drinks, and where we were able to see the process of making Papyrus. They were so hospitable to us, and at the end you were able to purchase something if you like! After this, we took the river cruise on the Nile- which wasn’t included but only a bit more additional. It is incredible that we were able to also fit this into the schedule but it was an experience you wouldn’t forget! From the river cruise, we went to lunch. The lunch location was also incredible! It was a buffet style traditional Egyptian lunch, and the staff was absolutely incredible. There was also an artist painting watercolor at the restaurant which was so beautiful! We were able to purchase his one of kind art at the restaurant! This only added to the experience. After lunch we visited one site with large statues, and then we proceeded to the Valley of the Kings. Our tour guide Said explained to us the history, and everything of the Valley of the Kings prior to arrival. Upon getting there, he had the three best tombs picked out for us to see. By this time it was very hot but it was worth it to be able to experience this. I really enjoyed his recommendations as the tombs were immaculate to see! We had the most incredible experience seeing these. Afterwards, then we went to visit the Temple of Hateshput, which was one of the main sites I had always dreamed of seeing this! The temple was absolutely an amazing sight to see- from the outside and inside! The temple was absolutely immaculately built, in all of the glory of Hateshput herself. Our tour guide went with us, and gave us the best experience here, filled with so much information! The last stop was an alabaster factory! We also had our own private tour here, where we were able to see the process of how things are made. They also provided drink here! And at the end of the tour, again we were able to purchase if we like! Of course we had to go home with a few things as it was so beautiful to bring home hand made products. This tour was overall an incredible experience and we couldn’t give enough stars for how much we enjoyed it! We booked the tour initially based off of the reviews- there were so many reviews with 5 stars and that was truly important to us and essentially made the difference in our booking. We were stuck between doing a group tour and booking private but we went with the private tour based off the reviews of group tours and wanting comfortability of a private tour and one that is well done! Thus tour was well worth the value of what we paid, along with the experience which was priceless. Our driver was the best driver, and the the tour guide as well! They also provided us drinks, snacks, and evens Egyptian sweet breads. On the way to Luxor, we also watched a short informational video on the sites we would be seeing as well as a nice movie on the way back. We were back just as the movie was being finished! Our driver Ahmed had us back in time, right before 7pm, where we were able to go straight to dinner from our tour. This was perfect timing after a long day! We are so greatly appreciative of the day, and the tour we booked. We would do this again any day! Thank you to our driver Ahmed, our tour guide Said, and Ramashka Tours for the incredible day and truly unforgettable experience!

- The Tour of a Lifetime! My family and I had an unforgettable experience with Ahmed and Said—they truly made our tour of Luxor exceptional. From start to finish, they were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. We always felt safe, comfortable, and well cared for, even in the heat. The air-conditioned vehicle and onboard Wi-Fi were such great perks, along with the endless supply of cold water and snacks. As it was our first time in Egypt and our only day in Luxor and several other places, we were worried we might miss something. That’s didn’t happened with Ahmed’s fantastic driving skills and Said expertise as a guide and relationships with the community made the most of every minute. Thank you again, Ahmed and Said, for an incredible day we will never forget!

- An Unforgettable Tour Experience! This tour was truly a beautiful and unforgettable experience. It started with our amazing driver, Ahmed, who made the journey to Luxor as smooth and comfortable as possible. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and made us feel completely at ease from the start—he truly went above and beyond for us. Our tour guide, Said, was just as exceptional. He was knowledgeable, patient, and made sure my entire family felt included and informed throughout the day. Thanks to both Ahmed and Said, we were able to see so much of Luxor in just one day without ever feeling rushed. Huge shoutout to both of them for making this such a special and memorable experience!

An unforgettable day in Luxor – perfect for families! - We (1 adult with two children, aged 14 and 5) were lucky to enjoy this amazing private day tour from Hurghada to Luxor – and it was simply fantastic! Our driver Ahmed was punctual, very friendly, and drove safely and comfortably – even our youngest had no problem with the early 4:30 a.m. departure. The vehicle was modern and comfortable, equipped with Wi-Fi and a TV, which made the long drive very enjoyable for all of us. We especially appreciated how attentive Ahmed was throughout the day: he always had chilled drinks and snacks ready – which was a real blessing in the Egyptian heat! Ahmed spoke very good English and some German, which was more than enough for smooth communication. Another highlight of the day was our guide Ismail, who led us with deep knowledge, patience, and warmth. The entire tour was conducted in German, and Ismail spoke excellent German, which made it easy for both me and the children to follow and enjoy the historical context. We visited so many incredible places, including the impressive Temple of Karnak, the Papyrus Museum, a peaceful Nile boat ride, a buffet lunch at the Hawaiian Restaurant, the Colossi of Memnon, the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut, and an alabaster workshop – where we were especially amused by the local stonemasons happily practicing their German with us. It was a small, funny and personal moment that really stood out! Everything was perfectly organized, never rushed, and yet we experienced so much – all in just one day. We can highly recommend this private tour for families with children. The pacing was relaxed, the breaks were child-friendly, and we felt well looked after the entire time. A big thank-you to the whole team – especially Ahmed & Ismail – for giving us such a memorable day! 100% recommendation – 5 stars from us!

Highly recommended! - Our driver Ahmed picked us up on time at the hotel and safely and above all fixed us through all the checks and around the columns. So we were pretty much the first Am Karnak temple! Super awesome! Our guide Zacharias was also great! Both took great care of us two girls (teen daughter with mom). We were able to reschedule according to our wishes and both were super flexible and helpful! So a really successful trip to Luxor. And as promised we were back at the hotel before 18:00. Even earlier, since we missed two points. 2:45 from Luxor to Hurghada is hard to beat! Chapeau an Ahmed! And again a big thank you to Ahmed and Zacharias! 👍🏼

Excellent trip to Luxor - Excellent trip. Picked up at 04:45 and arrived as one of the first excursions of the day. Ahmed was a very friendly and informative driver. Lots of snacks and drinks made available. The icecream was a nice touch. WiFi and tv on board. Our guide Said was brilliant and incredibly knowledgable. Would highly recommend this tour. Got back home safely in plenty of time to relax before dinner. Thank you Ahmed & Said for a great day out.
