The best tour in Luxor, pilot and not ask for extra hidden expenses - This is a very good tour. The owner and driver were polite and kind.
Even though I didn’t book a tour guide, they still explained some history at each place.
The car was very comfortable, and pickup was exactly on time, no delays.
If you’re worried about scammers in Egypt, choose this tour. No extra tips or hidden expenses

Dreams come true ! - Our family recently enjoyed a 5-day, 4-night Luxor to Aswan Nile Cruise within the 8 days Itinerary arranged by Elite Trip, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. We faced some last-minute issues with our train tickets to Luxor, but Elite Trip was incredibly accommodating, adjusting the schedule to ensure our trip went smoothly.
A special mention goes to our guide, Mena, who was nothing short of exceptional. His extensive knowledge and kindness made all the difference throughout the journey. He expertly handled all the logistics, from tickets to tours, and kept us well-informed at every step. After dealing with some travel hurdles in Egypt, it was a huge relief to have Mena taking care of everything, allowing us to relax and truly enjoy the experience.

Egypt-Luxor!!! - This visit to Luxor was truly one of those moments that remain etched in memory for a lifetime. We embarked on an unforgettable daytime tour, accompanied by the exceptional tour guide, Emad, and the friendly driver, Romani. From the very first moment, Emad took us to the West Bank, offering us the opportunity to explore those sites that pulse with Egypt's ancient history.
It was an extraordinary journey, as if we had traveled back in time to the Pharaonic era, with Emad allowing us to witness historical events as though we were living them ourselves. He succeeded in transporting us to a pre-historic epoch in a captivating way, making us feel like we were part of those timeless moments.
As for the driver Romani, he accompanied us with a constant smile and a cheerful spirit, adding an atmosphere of warmth and comfort to the trip. His human touch, along with his professionalism, added another layer to this remarkable experience.!!!

Great Tour, But Disorganized Start and Uncomfortable Tipping - Rating: 4/5
This was a good West Luxor tour overall, but there were a few issues that future travelers should be aware of.
The itinerary was solid and the guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, and informative. He clearly knew the history well and explained the sites in an engaging way. Once the tour was underway, I genuinely enjoyed the experience and learned a lot.
The main downside was the organization at the start. My pickup was scheduled for 8:00 AM, but the driver arrived late and did not seem sure who he was picking up. I ended up waiting and driving around while the guide was still on his way, and we didn’t actually depart the meeting point until after 9:00 AM. This made the morning feel disorganized and took away time from the tour.
Another issue was the tipping at the end. I tipped generously for an all-day tour and also reimbursed lunch, but the guide directly asked for more and appeared disappointed with the amount. While tipping is common, being asked for more made the situation uncomfortable and left a negative feeling at the end of the day. Tips should feel voluntary, not pressured.
Overall, the tour itself was worthwhile and informative. With better time management and clearer boundaries around tipping expectations, this would easily be a 5-star experience.
