Great private tour organised by Sam - highly recommended - Great private tour with Sam he is very knowledgeable and passionate about Ancient Egypt. Something I really liked is that during the common visits to some handcraft shops etc he was not pushing us to buy anything. I would definitely recommend Sam to anyone . He organised everything from the pick up to the tickets and lunch and drop off with a nice and very clean car

Highly enjoyable tour with excellent guide - I took a full-day tour of the Luxor West and East Bank with Samer, and since I only had one day there, I couldn’t have spent it better. At each site, he thoroughly explained the history and meaning of it in a well-structured way, then gave us time to explore on our own and take photos. I felt like the time management was perfect. He was extremely knowledgeable and could easily answer all of my questions. When I asked something about hieroglyphs, he even translated a section of text on the wall for me. From an organizational point of view, the tour ran very smoothly—small details like using shuttle carts at different sites were handled efficiently, with no waiting time at all. I can highly recommend exploring Luxor with Samer!

Amazing Tour Guife - Samer my guide gave a great experience, taking care of everything and giving in depth knowledge of the sites that I wouldn’t have been able to get anywhere else. Would recommend to anyone going Luxor.

Great Tours with Samar in Luxor - We had a great time exploring Luxor with Samar! She was not only very knowledgeable about the history and sites, but also fun and enjoyable to be around. Her personality is warm and humorous, and you could really feel her excitement and enthusiasm for both her work and the ancient city. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a memorable, fun, and informative journey through Luxor!

A great tour for when you're short on time! - Samer is an expert guide who does a great job telling stories and explaining the history, art, and culture of Luxor sites. He's passionate about his job and will answer any questions you have about each site thoroughly. This tour lasts the entire day so bring comfy shoes and water. Together we saw the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, the Colossi of Memnon, Karnak Temple, and Luxor Temple. Lunch was included in our tour, as was a trip to an alabaster workshop. This tour is perfect if you only have 1 day in Luxor!

Incredible visit to Luxor with our guide Samer - My husband and I visited Egypt for the first time this November and had the most amazing time in Luxor with our guide Samer! In fact this was our favorite part of our trip which also covered Cairo, Giza, and Aswan. Samer was professional and really went the extra mile to ensure that we saw everything we wanted to / should in our very limited time in Luxor. He waited for hours at the airport to receive us when our flight was unexpectedly rescheduled and then offered to bring us around all the sights until late in the evening to make up for lost time, all without a single word of complaint or expectation. He also took the initiative to rejig our itinerary to ensure that we could fit everything in as originally planned. Thank you very much Samer for making our visit such a memorable one!!

Excellent private tour of Valley of the Kings - Excellent experience from start to finish. We booked a private tour and was totally worth it. Samer was very friendly, professional and shared a lot of knowledge with us, which made the trip so much more enjoyable. He patiently answered my many questions! Would highly recommend.

Great way of making the impossible task of experiencing Luxor in 12 hours possible! - This was honestly a great trip. My tour guide Sam was very informative and knowledgeable of the area and different sites. The reason I didn’t give this tour 5 stars is because I think the company could have done much better booking at booking my flights to and from Luxor at better times because I left my hotel in Cairo at 2:30 am and spent form around 6am-12 pm on the tour to which I got put into some hotel to lay and wait around for 7 hours until my flight back at 11pm which ended up actually leaving at around 12 am (causing me to return back to my hotel 24 hours after I left). Overall still a great journey with great guides just maybe better organization could have left me feeling a little more energized and less burnt out to see all the sites instead of touring them on no sleep and leaving me at a motel for 8 hours. Nevertheless great job Sam and my driver they were really wonderful!
