Great Tour with Moss in Luxor - Our trip with Moss was fantastic! He was super informative and provided an excellent balance between explaining everything and letting us explore on our own. The lunch was so good, right near valley of the kings. Water provided throughout driving. And all tickets sorted for ease.

A truly magical experience! - Great tour around the main highlights in Luxor. We had a great guide in Mo who was not only quite knowledgeable as an Egyptologist himself but also doubled up as a great photographer. We cannot recommend this tour enough.

Great visit - A great visit, Mansor explains, shows, gives lots of interesting details. If you have additional questions, as many as you want, he will gladly answer them!
At each location, after the guided tour, you have time to walk around and take pictures.
The guide was kind is respectful, so I had an informative and pleasant visit.
I recommend!

Luxor day tour - We had a great experience with Roshdy. He was kind, funny, and easy to chat with. Also, he was very knowledgeable about Luxor's history and guided us through a wonderful day. He was so kind, when I asked about purchasing a scarf, he brought us to a local maker where we got to see them weave the scarfs and had amazing textiles (for all budgets!). We only had one day to spend in Luxor and Roshdy made it great!

Solo Traveler - 1st time visiting Egypt - Tour Guide: Mohamed
Driver: Mahmoud
- Easy and punctual pick-up: Mahmoud picked me up from the airport on time and greeted me politely. It was a very long day for Mahmoud with a 7am pick-up and then dropped back to the airport that evening at 6pm.
- Clean and hygienic car and professional driver: Mahmoud was a good driver, helpful and polite.
- Time management: I was able to see all the places on the itinerary with sufficient time to explore each place.
- Helpful guide: Mohamed went above and beyond. He is a fountain of knowledge. I really enjoyed learning the history of each place.
As a solo traveler both the men made me feel comfortable and safe.

Learning with an exceptional guide about Luxor - Very well planned and detailed tour of all the major temples and tombs in and around Luxor. Our guide Hassan Maghripy was very knowledgeable, attentive and passionate when talking about the history and life of Ancient Egypt, delving into both the larger stories and minute details of the design. He even taught us how to read the hieroglyphics, and identify the gods and goddesses. He prioritised visiting and spending time at the sites as we wanted, over lunches and shop visits. We spent the whole day (over 8 hours!) with him easily, and only wish we had begun the trip sooner than 9 am so we could get more time at each site. The driver Ahdab was also very helpful and careful on the winding roads. Highly recommend this tour and Hassan personally. Luxor opens earlier (6 am) than Cairo and Giza, so suggest starting the tour as early as possible.

Thorough and educating. - We were picked up late because of a misunderstanding of hotel location even though I did clearly include the address. The day was expertly led with a nice lunch. We were not taken to the valley of the queens even though the event list said we had paid the entrance fee to that location. The Alabaster place was nice but preferred to skip the oils place and gone to Medinet Habu which I would recommend.

Guide can be inexperienced and demanding - Inexperienced guide acting like a school teacher
I wasn’t sure who is guiding, me or she.
Knowledge acquired from books.
But operator nicely found a solution as she was replaced. The other guide was good
