It was an amazing time all was Organisation we Drive to Luxor and I was on a Boat to Nil and we Go to Karnak Tempel was a beautyfull time whit history Thank you very mutch

This is the 2nd time we booked an excursion with Essential Egypt Experiences and like last time, everything was beautifully worked out and planned in detail. The guide was friendly and very passionate about his work. For us it is a no brainer to only book excursions with Essential Egypt Experiences again.

Amazing experience made so simple and enjoyable by Mahmoud (driver) and LT (Egyptologist). Picked up on time, made you feel at ease, very friendly and helpful Mahmoud took us to all our destinations in comfort and pretty much to the front door of everywhere we were going! Lots of different places to visit, first stop for a cuppa and chat about the day so we were fully informed and not left guessing what we were doing then into the valley of the kings - three tombs are included to go inside and look, LT sat us down and asked about what we were interested in seeing and suggested some tombs - they were all amazing- absolutely breathtaking and having more knowledge about what you are about to look at just makes it a little more awe inducing! If you want to go to king tuts tomb you do need to pay extra for this as the entrance includes three tombs but not this one. Then off to the temple of Hatshepsut which was again amazing, then a stop to look at an alabaster shop where you aren’t pressured to buy anything - literally 5 minutes of your day and was nice to see how it’s hand made in the area and we managed to squeeze in a quick stop to look at the collosi of memnon before lunch which was really tasty - they do cater for veggies too. After lunch on to an optional boat trip of the Nile - additional charge but you only go there if you have chosen to add this into your trip - it was £10 each and I really enjoyed the still of the Nile! Our last trip was to Karnak temple as we added this in too and it was just phenomenal! Couldn’t fault the day - organised around our choices and at no point did we not know what was going on. Felt safe and had an absolutely fantastic day, thank you essential Egypt and especially Mahmoud and LT! X

Very good private tour with excellent driver. Arived before all tour bussen because of a shortcut. Also had e very good lunch

Well organized (restaurants, shuttle, apartments), safe travel feeling, no hidden prices, nice tour-guiding. Thank you Mahmoud!

Great company to use!!! The taxi driver Ahmed was FANTASTIC!!!! Really polite and kind! Our tour guide Akmed ( sorry if spelt wrong) was really kind, helpful and very knowledgeable!! Highly recommend as makes the trip to Luxor a lot easier and smoother!! Just be aware they will take you to shops, just say no and they will listen.

We had a brilliant day in Luxor, our driver was so kind and interesting to chat with during the journey about the history and culture within Egypt. Our tour guide was full of energy and clearly knew a lot, I have a keen interest in ancient Egypt so I knew a lot of what he had to share but that's not his fault, I've just done a lot of reading and watched a lot of documentaries! My favourite stop was at Hatshepsut's mortuary temple. Our guide didn't come up with us but did speak outside the temple about it and pointed parts out. This was fine for us as I knew a lot about it already and was the one place I was most keen to visit but had we not had that knowledge I think it would have been difficult to really appreciate everything we were looking at. The lunch stop at Cafe Paris was absolutely outstanding, wonderful hosts and the best food we had during our holiday. Such authentic food, we sat outside overlooking their farmland. We thought the trip was excellent value, we could have done without the trip to the Alabaster factory, we don't do "stuff" so felt we were wasting their time as we wouldn't be purchasing anything despite them having some beautiful and well crafted items, hence the 4 not 5 stars. Thank you for a wonderful and mind blowing day, we are returning to Egypt next year and plan on using Essential Egypt Experiences for a trip to Cairo this time!

We scheduled a last-minute excursion at Hurghada with the intention of resting. We decided to spend a day visiting some of the sights because we were so close to Luxor. We're so delighted we did. A private car brought us up from our hotel at 5 a.m. The driver was wonderful, and we always felt protected (which is not often easy on Egypt's roads!). Due to the early start, the driver even brought me coffee as we began our adventure! We met our guide Mahmoud once we arrived in Luxor (after a grueling 3.5-hour trip with various security checkpoints). Mahmoud was an excellent guide, knowledgeable, and kind. Throughout the process, he came to know us. we highly recommend them for unforgettable trips.

Essential Egypt Experiences is an excellent excursion company that impresses on many fronts. Their organization is seamless, allowing travelers to have peace of mind regarding logistics. The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful, always ready to assist and answer questions. The experience they provide is truly unforgettable. The guides are knowledgeable and passionate, bringing Egypt's history and culture to life. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend Essential Egypt Experiences to anyone seeking a well-organized, friendly, and unforgettable travel experience in Egypt. They exceeded my expectations, and I will definitely travel with them again in the future. ~Melvin & Tonia

He made sure that we were comfortable and the best driver.. honestly wouldn’t ask for anything else thank you Mahmoud is the best..

An excellent, well organised tour from start to finish with David our punctual driver taking us on a fantastic drive across the desert to the Nile valley and then to the Valley of the Kings where we picked up our amazing Egyptology trained guide Yasser (I really can’t speak highly enough about this guy!) Colossi of Memnon, 5 tombs in the Valley of the Kings (incl Tutankhamen and Ramasses V & VI that cost extra but well worth it), Hatshepsut Temple (I requested this for a small extra cost and it was unbelievable). Also great local food and hospitality at the ‘Paris restaurant’ overlooking the Nile valley fields. Finished in Luxor at the Karnak temple which was absolutely stunning. It’s a long day but absolutely worth it and would highly recommend

Everytime we go to Egypt we always use Essential Egypt Experiences, nothing is ever too much trouble for them and anything we'd like is catered for. Everyone is also so friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend.

One of the nicest people you will ever meet. Made our holiday very special. Thank you for the greatest trip ever! Highly recommended

Great experience with essential Egypt. We were recommended by coworkers and the tour guides invited us to their homes in Luxor. The heat was tough to bear but they adjusted the schedule to help us put up with it. Always had a constant flow of water coming in and knowledgeable. The hot air balloon experience is not to be missed ! Mahmoud did an amazing job , thank you

From the start the communication was very good which put us at ease. Picked us up on time, and we were the only 2 guests. Brilliant personalised tour around Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings with a very knowledgeable tour guide. Would highly recommend this tour, and Mahmoud was extremely helpful and friendly, which resulted in us booking 2 more trips directly through him, which we wouldn't have known about. When we return, we will definitely book through him again.
