          Hidden gem on the west bank
          This was such a great tour! I was a bit worried at first, as they didn't contact me until the evening before the tour. But they are really trustworthy, the tour was perfectly organised and executed. The driver was waiting at the reception a few minutes before the start, and he was great. We met our tour guide Adam at the west bank. Very knowledgeable about the history of the sites, he gave us elaborate explanations about everything, he was very engaging and his English was great. We were taken to a traditional alabaster factory, where they put a bit of a show and showed us some overpriced (beautiful though...) decorations. This is always part of touristic tours. But we were not pressured to buy, everyone was polite and we had a nice break with some coffee. The highlight for me was the Habu temple (Ramesseum), what a hidden gem! It is definitely worth to explore west and east banks separately, as you see more on the west bank compared to the tours that go on both sides. The day after west bank we did the east bank by ourselves and took our time at Karnak and Luxor temples. We took a horse carriage to the temples, bought tickets ourselves and went with one of the Egyptologists that work there for 500 EGP on each temple, much cheaper than organised tours, and they were both very good guides! The west side is better with a private driver and a tour guide, as there are a lot of small car drives needed between monuments, and not every site has on-site guides, only the biggest monuments. So if you have 2 days in Luxor, book a hotel at the east side, book a tour for 1 day west, and plan your east side visits yourselves to save some money! If you decide to go separately to the west side, this is the tour you want to take! I spent a lot of time comparing alternatives online before booking this tour, and it was the best one in my view in terms of itinerary, price and reviews. Now that I took the tour it was for sure the right choice, we loved it!

          The Great Luxor Tour with Yahya, Airport transfer and travel to Hurghada
          I met Yahya in the airport, and I saw his smiling face and beautiful heart. From Airport to Hotel, next day West bank, full day tour and my transportation to Hurghada. He was helping us gently every where. You feel safe. He is very trustworthy person. We should keep rewarding these people. Thank you so much Yahya

          Thank you! Best driver ever.
          It was a wonderful experience. The Temple of Hathor is definitely worth seeing. After visiting Dendera, we were planning to be taken to Luxor Airport, but they checked our flight number and checked for flight delays. Thank you so much for accommodating us perfectly, even with our tight schedule!

          Amazing tour!
          We had an amazing trip with a very helpful taxi driver(s). Everything we wanted to do was an option and had all the time we needed on the sight seeing sites. We were driven around by Hassan Ahmed.

          Mahmoud is the BEST tour guide!!!
          I cant say enough good things about our trip. From the moment Mahmoud picked us up at the airport we felt so safe with him, he speaks english very well and is very personable. He was so helpful, he took us to all the best attractions and made sure we had waters and snacks (which we didnt even think of) he even leant us money at the Valley of the Kings because the bank machine was too far. He waited outside at every venue and happily came to take us back to the airport at 4am!! We will definitely hire him again when we return!
