          I appreciated Abod’s knowledge and also his flexibility to go with my flow. I wasn’t feeling well and he accommodated my needs to go slower.

          Abdul was awesome. He was so knowledgeable about all of history at each of the historical sites. The lunch that was provided was also incredible.

          A highly recommended venture!
          We had an excellent experience during our day tour in Luxor last week with Sir Hassan as our guide. The transport from the airport to the hotel, the visits to temples and Valley of the Kings, the Nile cruise, and the return to our hotel were all executed smoothly. Mr. Hassan's extensive knowledge of ancient Egypt's rich history ensured that we not only appreciated the stunning scenery but also gained valuable insights. We appreciated the tips and guidance from him as well. We highly recommend this agency and Sir Hassan, as the service provided is truly worth the investment. Kudos!

          Incredible Private Tour In Luxor
          Here’s a polished review you can leave for your Luxor tour: We had an absolutely unforgettable private tour in Luxor, Egypt! From start to finish, the experience was seamless, enriching, and beyond expectations. Our guide, Abdule, was phenomenal—his deep knowledge of Egyptian history and culture brought every temple and monument to life. He had an incredible way of explaining complex histories in an engaging and understandable way, making the tour both educational and fun. The itinerary was well-planned, and every detail was taken care of, allowing us to relax and immerse ourselves in the beauty of Luxor. Abdule also ensured we had plenty of time for photos and personal exploration at each site, which was a thoughtful touch. The private nature of the tour made it feel special and personal, and Abdule’s warm, friendly demeanor added a lot to the overall experience. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Luxor—you won’t regret it!

          Incredible Experience!!!
          I booked a Luxor private tour with a friend and it has exceeded all of my expectations. Our tour guide was Abdule and he was absolutely AMAZING! Such a knowledgeable man and showed us so many incredible places, along with explaining the history of everything. He speaks great English, so it was good that there was no language barrier. He was able to answer/explain in great detail any questions we had without hesitation. We felt very safe with him and I think this was one of the best tours I ever had. I recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Luxor, & make sure you book it with Abdule!! Thanks again for everything!!

          Abdul was a very nice guide. He led ua through the various temples and tombs in the East and West Bank. He was knowledgeable and gave us some tips for food and was flexible with our requests. I would probably go back.

          Expensive, but worth it.
          Price was a little high, BUT: Hassan the guide was a super good and friendly person, good english with clear explanations. He didn't put us in any tourists trap-shop and suggested a very good local street food. Because of the early time in the morning, they provided two drivers, both really good.

          Excellent Tour Guide Egyptologist Mansour
          If I can describe with one single word my experience with Mansour, I will describe it as EXCELLENT he is extremely knowledgeable in Egyptian History and Language. He has a complete understanding and knowledge of every historical site that we visited. He took the time to explain to us everything so we had a clear understanding of what we were looking at. He is truly an Egyptian historian. Thank you so much for a very informative tour. The Driver Ramadan was very professional and courteous. Thank you very much. And finally the Ballon Ride .. it was AWESOME. The ballon captain Osama was great !! This is a must do ride, it was incredible experience overlooking the Valley of the Kings. Thank you. Highly recommended Tour Operator

          The tour with Hassan was the best! He’s not just a guide, but a true Egyptology enthusiast.
          Egypt is a wonderful country, full of history and hidden secrets, fascinating in every way. That's why we made an effort to choose the best guides for our tours, carefully reading all the reviews. We are also quite precise and demanding when it comes to our tours, and as a result, so are our comments. By far, the tour with Hassan was the best! He’s not just a guide, but a true Egyptology enthusiast. With his energy, charm, and storytelling, we were completely immersed in another world. Without a doubt, we didn’t have the same experience with the other tours. If it had been up to us, we would have taken him with us on the plane to visit other parts of Egypt that we had seen with the other guides. Highly recommended! If we return to Egypt, we’ll definitely reach out to him!

          Private morning tour to valley of the kings
          We took a half day private tour with Hassan as our guide and Raman as our driver. We were picked up from our hotel in a lovely air conditioned mini bus and then enjoyed a morning visiting Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut’s Temple amongst some other monuments. We couldn’t fault it- Hassan was an excellent tour guide, so knowledgeable and gave us a real insight into the history and Egyptian culture. And Raman was always there ready to take us in to the next sight. I would highly recommend this tour.

          Ask for Khalid and Ahmed when you book!
          **Excellent Luxor Tour with Khalid and Ahmed!** We had a fantastic full-day tour of Luxor's highlights on both the East and West Bank with Khalid as our guide and Ahmed as our driver. Both were outstanding! Khalid was incredibly knowledgeable, handling tickets smoothly and sharing fascinating details about Luxor and the incredible sights we visited. Ahmed was always punctual with the van, ensuring a seamless door-to-door service—which was especially appreciated in the intense heat. The van was spacious, private, and blessedly air-conditioned, with the AC on full blast throughout the day. We didn’t have to walk far from the parking lot to the attractions, making the experience very comfortable. Both Khalid and Ahmed were polite and attentive, even opening and closing the van doors for us. We aren't fans of the heat, so we asked Khalid to focus on the must-see sights, skip lunch, and avoid shop visits. He tailored the day perfectly to our requests, making the tour efficient and enjoyable despite the rising temperatures. Khalid also gave us insightful perspectives on geopolitical issues surrounding the Nile River, which we greatly appreciated as visitors from Washington, D.C. Another highlight was Khalid’s excellent photography skills—he captured some amazing photos for us! He matched our pace perfectly, ensuring we saw the best of Luxor without lingering too long in the heat. The only suggestion for improvement would be to offer cold bottled water, especially during hot days like ours. Overall, Khalid and Ahmed made our day in Luxor unforgettable. We highly recommend requesting Khalid as your guide for a customized, informative, and comfortable experience. Thank you both for such a memorable day!

          We had a very good experience with this tour. Thanks to our tourguide Hassan! He showed us the highlights of the West side of Luxor. Helped us with buying the tickets and explained many interesting things about the highlights, but let us explore by ourselves as well. And.. He did that all with a smile and enthusiasm! We would highly recommend.

        Ragab is very kind, friendly, sociable, educated. He told us the whole story of the valley of the kings and Hatshepsut’s temple.
        He was unobtrusive and also help us to buy local food for lunch to take away (for a little money).
        It was a wonderful experience.

        Abdul was an incredible guide. As an Egyptologist specialising in hieroglyphics, we had a detailed explanation of all of the sites we explored. The itinerary is more “flexible” than advertised but it meant we spent more time at the most interesting and beautiful sites, missing those that were closed such as valley of the queens. The souvenir shop that is part of the trip was not particularly enjoyable but seemingly part and parcel of a tour in Egypt. Overall would recommend!

        This tour was fantastic. We had done a fantastic tour and were hoping for the same. We found it. The tour was just us. Our tour guide was Kahid who was a weath of knowledge. The guide can make or break the tour as we had used a diff company for the East Bank the day before. Highly Recommend!

        Abdul was the absolute best tour guide - an endless fountain of history, knowledge, and stories about ancient Egypt. He directed us so well within the valley of the kings, explaining which tombs to go to first and why. We were sad when the tour was over. I highly recommend anyone looking for a private tour, we would do this tour 100 more times with Abdul if we could :) thank you so much for an amazing experience Luxor Travels.

        This is one of those tour you will remember for a lifetime. Luxor Travels is the company to go with. Not because you have limited options; actually there are lots of other tour companies in Luxor. What makes Luxor Travels different is that they actually send you out with a real Egyptologist like Abdo. So is like going out on a tour with Zahi Hawass; if you know the man. Abdo is actually a student of his! My kids got quite history lesson with him! Communication as perfect with the tour manager (Ragab El Motgalye) via whatsapp +20 122 4689271. The price was on the range of other tours. They picked us up around 8:30 as it was a short drive to the valley from our hotel. Nice van, safe driver (you need one in Egypt. They drive very fast). Abdo made sure to keep my kids engaged; they had a lot of fun. We felt like we went out with an old friend and not just someone that we met that day.

        We were really satisfied with Abdul’s knowledge, and professional demeanor when guiding us through our visit for the Valley of the Kings and Habu Temple. He made our visit richer with his enthusiasm for Egyptian History, and readily answered all of our questions. He was on time, and attentive to all our needs during the tour. Picked us from our hotel lobby and returned us back, including a ride on a boat to cross to the Nile river’s West Bank and our car rides to the sites. We happily recommend Abdul to anyone visiting Luxor.

        What a fun and interesting day spent with one of the best tour guides we have ever had. The day started with a pickup from our tour guide, Ragab Elmotgalye. From there we were off to the valley of the nobles and the valley of the artisans. On the drive there we learned a little about Ragab's personal life and enjoyed him bringing us up to speed on the history of how the places we were about to visit had come to be. The background information was very interesting and insightful, and I have come to realize that I will never forget what was thought to me in just the little time spent on the drive to the locations. Once at the location, Ragab did a wonderful job explaining the history behind the hieroglyphics we were looking at, as well as the depictions on the tombs we were visiting. It was there we realized how much this man really cares about the history of Egypt and you can tell it truly excites him. Once done with our tour, one would think that we were just going to be dropped of at our hotel, but instead Ragab was gracious enough to take us to the Medinet Habu (Ramses III Temple) here in Luxor, but not before sharing a cool drink with him. If you have a choice in visiting this temple, I would really recommend it. Every wall is highly detailed with deep carvings of ancient writings. Of course Ragab knew a great deal and was happy to share his knowledge with people who really valued it. Afterwards,Ragab was gracious enough to take us to lunch at a location a mere 5 minutes from his home. For him to do that shows a lot about what kind of man this person is, and my mom and I truly appreciated everything he did for us today. It is safe to say we will never forgot what we learned today or the man from whom we learned it from.

        If you have a choice in guides for your Luxor vacation, be sure to ask for Ragab. I promise you wont regret it.
