Fantastic full day West Bank tour - Our guide Noby was really fantastic. A trained Egyptologist, he knew absolutely everything about everything, the hieroglyphs, the story behind all the inscriptions, the full history of all the sites, etc. He had the answers to any questions we had. Our driver Ahmed transported as around all the sites with ease and we had a lovely minibus for just the two of us. We stopped for lunch which was also very nice. All in all a full and enjoyable day. Thank you Noby and Ahmed

Fantastic tour, fabulous guide - highly recommend! - Wonderful tour with a fantastic guide and driver. We learned so much about the history but Angie did it so well that we never got overwhelmed. The lunch at Carter’s house was also a welcome break and was delicious. Angie was brilliant and I’d highly recommend the tour, Angie and the lovely driver Tamer!

Quick temple tours - We did a half day west bank temple tour (karnak & luxor). The tour lasted a couple of hours and was given free time to explore both temples. Our guide Sarah was very knowledgable and extremely helpful when we discovered our pre-brought online tickets were issued on for the day of purchase not for the tour date! Thank you for sorting this out for us it was much appreciated.

Proper tour of west bank - Overall the tour is good for the price (driver + guide 40€ pp in two, no tickets), we saw a lot of the west bank with flexibility on what we wanted to see: in valley or kings three standard tombs + two extra (ramses 5&6 beautiful and cheap, and seti I also beautiful but really too expensive), hatshepsut temple, valley of the queens (nothing special because nefertari tomb is closed), valley of the workers and habu temple, these two were great surprises and highly recommended. Unfortunately there was no lunch because of ramadan so we just bought snacks. We liked the guide Noby who is very kind and friendly, surely he is knowledgeable but maybe he should improve a bit his english because sometimes it was hard to understand him and i he was often repeating the same things.

Great day out with Angie and Tamer - Had a brilliant day today with Angie our guide and Tamer our driver, both were great. We visited 6 sites of interest including Valley of Kings, Valley of Queens & Hatshepsut's temple on a 7hr tour. Angie's knowledge of the sites was superb and her English is perfect so it makes everything engaging and easy to understand. All of the sites were amazing, definitely recommend paying extra to see King Tut's tomb and mummy. Merenptah's tomb was especially good as it is very deep and the sarcophagus is incredible. My favourite was Valley of the Queens as it was really peaceful and the tombs were incredibly small yet the artwork has kept most of its colour. We had plenty of time at each site and didn't feel rushed. Tamer opened the doors for us and helped us out of the car and his driving felt safe and comfortable. Highly recommend this tour with Angie and Tamer

If you go to tour Luxor pick This Guide Mr. Sayed Gamal and Driver Ahmed!! - We had an incredible private tour of the Luxor West Bank thanks to our guide Mr. Sayed Gamal and our driver Ahmed. Sayed was kind, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. He guided us through the Valley of the Kings, where we visited the extraordinary tomb of Seti I as well as the beautifully decorated tomb of Ramses V and Ramses VI. We also visited the magnificent Temple of Hatshepsut. Each of these sites was made even more meaningful and impressive through Sayed’s explanations and guidance. His ability to explain the history, symbolism, and context of what we were seeing made the experience unforgettable. Ahmed was a very professional driver who made traveling between the sites comfortable and easy. The private, tailored experience truly enriched our visit, and their recommendations were always excellent. If you are booking a Luxor West Bank tour, I highly recommend requesting Mr. Sayed Gamal and driver Ahmed.

Luxor (East & West Banks) private tour for couples. - Our tour guide, Sayed, was fantastic, great knowledge, warm and friendly and showed us round lots of sights with the advantage of never making us feel like we were ‘following the crowds’. His recommendations always felt to our advantage and we enjoyed his little quiz question and answer sessions to see if we were paying attention 🤣. So many kings, tombs and gods to remember! It’s important to note that have been to Cairo first, lots of history dots get joined up in Luxor. Perhaps would other way round but the two trips must be done together to see the places in Luxor everything came from and then ended up in the Museums. Lunch was also really good on our trip, as Vegan travellers that was also respected and caused no problem for the restaurant. Our driver was great too, albeit an easy job on the roads than the madness of Cairo. All in all very good trip!
