Private Full Day Tour To Giza Pyramids, Memphis And Sakkara Pyramid

We had an excellent experience with Go Luxor. The driver was punctual and professional. Our tour guide was very informative and answered all our questions! We had a very short amount of time in Cairo but the Mike was very helpful in building a custom itinerary for us. We also had the option to spend more time in specific places on the day of if we wanted to. Overall, I recommend Go Luxor to anyone who wants to experience ancient Egypt in a private setting.

Me and my friend booked with go Luxor for day tours in Giza and Alexandria and a full 6 day cruise/tour experience down the Nile. I really enjoyed the experience we had a private Egyptologist the whole trip. During each tour we had zero stress, meals, snacks, water, transport, tickets, scheduling, everything was taken care of. All we had to do was get in the car and enjoy our day! We even had special requests catered to us so we really got a tailored experience based on our needs and wants. Since there was only two of us we could take breaks or ask lots of questions if we wanted. This was a great experience and I am glad we went with go Luxor, it is well worth the money to be at ease during the entire trip. Plus I really enjoyed that we would get detailed explanations for each site and you can ask for more or less detail.

My best friend and I planned our entire Egypt trip with Go Luxor Tours, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We’ve traveled to many places as solo female travelers, and we honestly felt incredibly safe and cared for here. Everything was catered to our needs from the moment we booked. I highly recommend booking your entire itinerary with them if you’re planning a trip to Egypt.

This was our first time to Egypt, and our first time booking a private tour. We compared many tour guides and ended up with Go Luxor because Michael was responsive and understood our needs. We found their guides, drivers, and cars were all amazing. Michael was able to customize our tour based on our interests (we want to see more of the museums and famous temples), and Michael fully accommodated our needs, plans, and pace. We visited Cairo, Aswan, Abu Simbel, and Luxor. At the last minute, we wanted to change the trip to return to Cairo earlier to visit the old Egyptian museum, and Michael helped make it happen. We learned a lot from this tour. The driver was safe and reliable. Highly recommended!

Great experience overall. Michael was incredibly communicative and resourceful. Not only did he arrange tours and transportation he also organized great deals on airfare between Cairo and Luxor. Mina and Shereen were great tour guides and very knowledgeable. They were happy to answer all of our questions and went out of their way to educate us on Egyptian Antiquity. I'd not only recommend but also book use Michael and Go Luxor tours again.

For over a decade, we have consistently opted for personalized private tours when organizing trips globally, collaborating with local tour agencies in each destination. Go Luxor Tours, a remarkable agency based in Luxor, provided us with customized tours that included a car, guide, and driver, making them an ideal choice for us. We are thrilled to recommend Go Luxor Tours to anyone looking for specialized, professional, and personalized tours in Egypt without any anxiety. Michael Samir of Go Luxor Tours played a key role in planning our trip according to our exact preferences and supported us throughout. He offered valuable advice on choice of accommodations for our seven-day tour, managed our flights between Cairo-Aswan and Luxor-Cairo, and arranged all tour tickets, including a visit to the New Grand Egyptian Museum at Giza. Mike was incredibly responsive, adeptly handling our last-minute requests for additional tours. Initially, we doubted the speed of his responses, but further research showed that both Rick Steves Europe: Tours, Travel, TV & Vacations, as featured on PBS, and Trip Advisor gave glowing reviews of Go Luxor Tours. The guides selected for us were highly knowledgeable, kind, and helpful, addressing all our inquiries. Special thanks go to Mina, our guide in Cairo and Giza, and to George, our exceptional guide on the Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor, who was informative, caring, and patient. Michael Samir ensured we had an outstanding cruise boat for the Nile Cruise. We wholeheartedly recommend Mike and Go Luxor Tours to anyone planning a tour.- Mandyam and Rama Tirumalachar

We selected Go Luxor tour as our main travel partners as a family friends had used them previously and recommended them. Mike was very prompt in responding back to our questions and arranged everything for us as requested. On the day of the trip, we were collected by Aya our tour guide from our hotel and taken to the Sakkara Pyramids, Memphis and then to the Giza Pyramid complex.. She was a wonder host and excellent guide. The trip was well arranged in a very comfortable van for us. Aya was very knowledgeable and a fun guide who informed us about the history of the places we were visiting. Would definitely recommend

We had a wonderful time. Mr Samir was excellent in all of his recommendations and knowledge of Egyptian history. All tours were private with precision and the greatest care for our wellbeing

Everything went very smoothly. I got the airport transfers and the private day tour to the Giza pyramids. Pricing seemed very fair. My driver, Michael, was on time for everything and was good at navigating the crazy Egypt traffic. My English speaking tour guide, Yehya, was very knowledgeable and highly educated in Egyptology. He took me all over the necropolis, explained everything, and answered all my questions. I opted to pay extra to go inside of the Great pyramid. Note that going inside is a bit of a workout and requires walking up some steep cramped tunnels while crouching in hot temps. They also made a reservation for me at Khufu’s for lunch, where I got to sit with a front row view of the pyramids and the food was excellent too. Overall communication was excellent and I was told what to expect over WhatsApp. I would recommend Go Luxor Tours.

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Mike to arrange four days of tours in Cairo before and after our Red Sea diving and Nile dahabiya. Mike was an amazing communicator and helped us sort out an incredible itinerary and was always so responsive whenever I had questions. Our tour guide, Fady, was such a great source of information and always made sure we were taken care of on our tours. We were able to see the Giza plateau, Sakkara, Dahshur, the ole museum, the GEM, Islamic and Coptic Cairo, and multiple palaces. I would not hesitate one moment to recommend Mike and his company Go Luxor Tours to anyone wanting a fantastic guided experience in Egypt! My only regret was that we didn’t get to tour with Mike in Luxor - although we didn’t run in to him at Valley of the Kings while we were with our dahabiya boat!

We had a great time in Cairo. Michael arranged the trip-- he did a great job, our tour guide was Fady, he provided great background information about the Giza pyramids. He is well versed with the history of the Pyramids. The driver, (Michael had arranged) was also on time. The Giza Pyramids as one can imagine are always crowded and in the summer it is very hot. I recommend, getting there early, bring water and wearing a hat, and wear comfortable waking shoes. you can go inside the pyramids but the entrance steps are very narrow and some are steep. Lots of vendors selling various trinkets/things etc.PS. Binoculars are not allowed in the Pyramids we had to pay 200 Egyptian pounds to have our stored at the Pyramids and then we retrieved them after the visit. We enjoyed our trip thoroughly

4 of us traveled via private tour for 2 weeks with the amazing Go Luxor crew - starting in Cairo, then to Aswan, sailed the nile for a few nights, time in Luxor, organized transfers to/from Hurghada, and then a final few days in Cairo. The whole trip was seamless start to finish! Michael is incredibly responsive and let me tailor the trip to meet exactly my families' needs. All of our guides were extremely knowledgeable and fun! We enjoyed getting to know them as much as learning from them throughout the trip. Drivers were incredibly kind & punctual and safe drivers - which if you've driven in Cairo, you know means a lot! Michael organized our nile river cruise which was also a hit, especially as a family that typically doesn't like to cruise. The experience was amazing and the boat we were on was a great fit for a normally non-cruising crowd. I'd recommend the Go Luxor team to absolutely anyone. The organization is fabulous, and they made our trip as easy as possible (even escorting us to the front of the visa on arrival line at the airport to save time!!) Thank you thank you thank you Michael & crew! :)

Would highly rate this company. Did a 1 day tour of the pyramids and Cairo in late December on a long layover. I was initially hesitant to visit Egypt traveling with young children, but Go Luxor had very good reviews and Michael was super helpful in arranging a custom private tour and taking care of all the details before and during the tour. Logistics were seamless and we really enjoyed seeing many sights, riding camels and visiting local markets in the city. Maged was an amazing tour guide that was very friendly and organized and had extensive knowledge about all of the places we visited. Would highly recommend without hesitation

This was such an amazing day! Francis was a spectacular guide and answered our million and one questions and showing us the hidden gens to be found at each site! We can’t recommend this tour enough!

For anyone not wanting to read the entire review, here is a summary. AMAZING, BREATHTAKING and just WOW!!! If you are considering going to Egypt, reach out to GO LUXOR TOURS and you will have the TRIP OF A LIFETIME!!!! We wanted to do something special for our daughter’s high school graduation that would create memories rather than gifts, so we let her pick any place she wanted to go for a family vacation. She chose Egypt after taking a world history class her senior year. It was easy to say yes to it as I have always wanted to see Egypt since I was a kid. Deep down I always wanted to be an archeologist :). So I started looking into what it would take to travel to Egypt and our options. I have traveled to around a dozen countries across Asia, Europe, South America, Central America plus numerous Caribbean islands, so I feel pretty comfortable traveling most places. For the most part when we travel, we plan things out on our own, rent air B&B’s and are adventurous. After a few days on the internet I quickly realized that Egypt is probably not a place where I would want to try traveling on my own with the family. This was a trip of a lifetime and I wanted to ensure my family had the best experience possible, learned as much about the history of Egypt as possible and most importantly had fun. I started off by watching lots of YouTube videos of people traveling to Egypt and visiting the sites to get a feel for what it would be like. if you go watch any YouTube videos of visiting Egypt you will see there is a lot of haggling at the sites with vendors wanting to sell you stuff, guards wanting tip money to show you things at the sites, people trying to get you to go to bazars, having to pay to use the bathroom and negotiating for most things. The one thing you may not notice is most of the YouTube videos you find are people traveling on their own without a knowledgeable guide. My first recommendation is don’t let the YouTube videos scare you away, go book Go Luxor Tours and you will have the most amazing vacation you could ever dream of. Don’t for a second be worried about being haggled for everything. Just ignore anyone trying to offer you items if you aren’t interested and worst case, your guide will help get rid of anyone bothering you :). My wife and 15 year old daughter were a little hesitant about traveling to Egypt after watching the YouTube videos as they really don’t like dealing with haggling for things. I thoroughly enough haggling for things, so it didn’t worry me….but I wanted to make sure my family had an amazing time too. This is one of the most valuable parts of having a guide from Go Luxor Tours. When you are traveling with a guide from Go Luxor Tours, they will help you with everything from advising you how much you should pay for bathrooms, how much to tip a guard to show you something special and most importantly help if someone won’t stop trying to sell you items. I really can’t iterate enough how helpful and valuable the guides were at Go Luxor Tours. We left Egypt with the entire family absolutely loving it and wanting to go back again. This is truly thanks to our guides at Go Luxor Tours as they made this trip perfect for us. When we decided on going to Egypt and finished watching countless YouTube videos, I immediately started to look for tour groups that we could use so we could have an Egyptologist that knows the sites inside/out teach us the history of each site, help us learn the local culture and help if the haggling was too extreme. One of the big problems I originally ran into was we are a family of 5 with 3 kids aging 18, 15 and 7. Most of the big tour companies would not allow a 7 year old, so that left me to do more searching. I received a couple of recommendations for private tour companies from people who had been to Egypt in the past. I read through their trip reports, read reviews of the tour companies and reached out to both. Go Luxor Tours responded nearly immediately and connected with me through WhatsApp. I was connected with Michael and he quickly replied to all of my questions. He was so personable through chat, helpful and fast. I quickly decided this was the right guide company for our family to go with and let me tell you…….this was by far the best decision I have ever made for any vacation. I continued chatting with Michael for a few days and he was extremely responsive and would reply within minutes regardless of how late it was in Egypt. He asked details about what we wanted to see and provided recommendations on what else we should add to the itinerary. Michael took into account the ages of our kids and planned the most amazing itinerary we could ask for. We locked down the details of the trip and next step was to wire a small deposit for the trip. I don’t know about you, but wiring money to someone you don’t know and is international was a bit nerve wrecking at first. All of the vacations we have done to date I have always put on a deposit on a credit card with little risk, so this was our first time having to pay deposits in cash for a trip. One thing you will learn is a lot of things are still cash only in Egypt……its quite a difference from the US. I kept thinking what happens if we show up at the airport in Cairo and no one is there :). Let me tell you….do not be worried. Michael and Go Luxor Tours are some of the most respectable and trust worthy people I have ever met. I would not have any hesitations doing it again. Our planned trip consisted of arriving in Cairo, having a day of rest and then spending 2 days seeing Sakkara, Dahshur Pyramids, Memphis, Giza Pyramids, Sphinx and the Egyptian Museum. We would then fly to Aswan and spend 3 days seeing Philae Temple, Nubian Village, Abu Simbel Temple, Kom Ombo and Edfu Temples. After that we would drive to Luxor to spend 3 days seeing Valley of the Kings, Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, Colossi of Memnon, Habu Temple, Valley of the Nobles, Valley of the Workers Karnak and Luxor Temples. Once we finished touring we had a private transfer to Hurghada to spend 5 days relaxing on the beach. It was a total of 2 weeks we were spending in Egypt. Our entire trip included private vans and a private guide on all days touring. One of the best parts is the entire trip is designed around what you want to see and do. You can spend as little or as much time at any of the sites and are not being rushed. Michael frequently checked in with us during the 8 months leading up to the trip. We had planned the trip back in Nov 2022 for a June 2023 trip. On our day of departure Michael checked in with us to ensure our flight leaving the US was on time and confirmed again that our guide Francis would be waiting at the airport for us. Our flight arrived just after 5am local time, so it was early. We exited the arrivals hall just like he said and found Francis waiting for us with our name on a sign. This trip was already off to an amazing start……my first worry of will anyone be there to pick us up was a needless worry :). Our guide in Cairo was Francis and he was simply AMAZING!!! His historical knowledge was not only exceptional, but the way he shared it to keep everyone engaged including our 7 year old was unreal. He would even take the time to point out the seashells and fossils in the stone paths and rocks to our 7 year old who was fascinated with it. They would race between the sites and just had so much fun. One of our biggest worries was that it might be tough keeping the attention of a 7 year old, but he had just as much fun as everyone else thanks to our guides. Francis did an exceptional job planning out our day and timing our arrival at the sites to avoid the large crowds. Everywhere we went it seemed like we would always arrive when a big group was leaving or we would leave just as a big group was showing up. We had some of the sites almost to ourselves. During just a short 3 days in Cairo, it felt like Francis was part of our family. I never dreamed we would have a guide who would blend so well with our family and that the kids would miss leaving. We then traveled to Aswan where Michael picked us up. I joked with him that he had big shoes to fill after we had such an amazing time with Francis in Cairo. Let me tell you, Michael did not disappoint. He was also AMAZING and had so much knowledge to share. I am just blown away by how great both Francis and Michael were. Not only were they amazing guides, but they are great people. You feel like you have known them forever after just a short time with them. We spent 5 days touring Aswan and Luxor with Michael seeing so many great sights. Michael did a fantastic job planning out the timing of seeing sites. We always arrived before/after a large group, so most sites were very empty. They know the schedules of other tour operators so well and can plan around them. Michael also did so well with our kids and kept our 7 year old entertained and engaged the entire time. Michael fit right in with our family and we would all joke and just have fun. Our kids and all of us had so much fun with Michael. It seriously was like he was part of our family on the trip. He fit in so well and helped us not only learn about the history, but to have fun while doing it. I tried to pay attention to how some of the other larger tour groups did things at the sites and I am beyond thankful that we chose Go Luxor Tours. We had a completely personal experience that led this to be the best vacation we have ever taken. If we had chosen a large tour group or tried to do this trip on our own, we would not have had anywhere close to as great of a trip. I can honestly say that our trip was made amazing thanks to Michael and Francis. If you are considering going to Egypt, do yourself a favor and reach out to Go Luxor Tours. My entire family loved the trip and talks about Michael and Francis all of the time. They made such an impression on our kids that will last a lifetime. We all left Egypt wanting to come back again and this was all thanks to Michael and Francis with the experience they gave us. Thank you Go Luxor Tours for helping us make this truly a trip of a lifetime!!!!

I really loved the tour that I booked. We got Francis as our guide and he can take awesome pics. Always accommodating our requests and off corse expert in take videos shot too. We came back with great memories in our spirit and in our phones hahahaha.

The guide Francis and the driver Sadic (not sure about spelling) met us in airport hotel (Le Meridian) to provide exceptional service during our so short one day stay in Cairo. I intended to have a quick overview of the Pyramids during our stopover, and it worked perfectly. The team worked non-stop to satisfy our needs, including what was initially planned and whatever came during the trip. Francis is a knowledgeable guide with huge expertise in delivering the info accordingly clients expectations. The driving was relaxed and safe in crazy chaos of Cairo traffic. Everything was perfect. Recommended

I have to say that I had an amazing time in Egypt with the best tour guides in all of Egypt. Francis & Mike were outstanding, and very knowledgeable in the history of Egypt. Francis showed me all around Cairo. We covered a lot of territory in a short amount of time. I saw the Giza Pyramids, Sakkara, Dahshour & Memphis pyramids. Also, we managed to squeeze in The Egyptian museum tour, and a couple of amazing lunch stops on our tour days. I am still in awe of the beauty and history that I witnessed in person in Cairo. After 3 days of being in Cairo I made my way to Aswan where I was greeted by the amazing Mike. I arrived late evening, and was greeted at the airport by Mike who transferred me to my hotel at Movenpick where I stayed during my time in Aswan. It was late that evening. Once I checked in Mike went over our itinerary for the next day which would be a drive out to see Abu Simbel Temple. We departed Aswan at 5am on a 4 hour drive to Abu Simbel, which is very close to the Border of Sudan. The round trip of 8 hours were worth every bit of it to see Abu Simbel. I felt like I was in a time warp witnessing it’s spectacular beauty. I was pinching myself to make sure I was witnessing the moment. My second day in Aswan was spent take a ferry along the Nile and stopped off to visit the Nubian Village. It was another great opportunity to immerse myself in the history and culture of the Nubians. Once we were done we took the ferry back to the hotel and transferred over to a car and driven to visit Philae Temple. Another hidden treasure. Still in awe with my jaw dropped viewing this beautiful temple. From there I visited an aromatherapy factory and a spice shop where I was able to witness the history behind making each essential oil, and the history spices. Before I knew it Mike & I were on a train to Luxor that at the end of the day. We arrived in Luxor that evening and I checked into my hotel for dinner and a good nights rest. Mike met me the next morning at 8:30am, and I spent the day that I had in Luxor

Outstanding, Amazing, Unforgettable, Exciting .... We, me and my wife, arrived back home in Austria a week ago from a 3 weeks trip, travelling throughout Egypt. The whole thing started actually long ago, back in beginning December 2019, when I first contacted Michael to start planning the whole trip. I decided to do it with GoLuxorTours after reading many unbiased reviews on Internet and how the travellers were satisfied with the level of performance and professionalism that Michael offer to his clients. In this meantime we had kilometres of conversation on WhatsApp, on what, when and how would be the best to do. Due to Covid and therefore lockdown in Tirol (in the whole world actually), plans for travel abroad were temporarily cancelled, but Michael kept my deposit intact and available, if in the near future we could be able to make it. Itinerary was changed many times, because me or he came up with a new idea or place to visit (thanks for your patience), but finally it was set up when I called him and said "hey man, nothing else matters, we're coming"... I transferred money to him, for buying domestic flights from Cairo to Luxor and from Hurghada to Cairo, he got even a better deal, not to mention he made us a modest price for the whole travel program, including all tickets, transfers, and much more. He arranged everything in such a way that nothing, absolutely nothing went but smoothly and very, very comfortable, no stress at all... When we first arrived in Cairo, there was a driver waiting for us at the airport, together with our lovely and very knowledgeable guide Francis (big hugs my friend🤗) to bring us to our first hotel in Giza, in front of the Sphynx and discuss our pick up times for the next day trip to the Pyramids, Sphynx and the Egyptian Museum, and he came in the exact time we had combined, and we had lunch at a floating restaurant on the Nile, good food. Next day we headed to Saqqara, Dahshur and Memphis, went inside the Red Pyramid, and had a delicious lunch at a local restaurant quite close to Imhotep Museum, in the middle of a dates plantation, next to it a tapestry factory, where I got a beautiful hand-made tapestry. On the next day we visited the NMEC, we saw the mummies and a lot of amazing objects from different times of the Egyptian history and flown to Luxor, where Michael was waiting for us at the airport and drove us to our resort on a private island at the Nile, Jolie Ville, a place with the foremost exuberant nature, and from our bungalow we could enjoy the Nile flowing few meters away and the stunning scenery of the West Bank mountain, to where we headed next day to visit Valley of the Kings, and so many tombs as was possible, including Seti I and Tutankhamun because Michael got us a Luxor Pass for a very affordable price and with it we could visit Valley of the Queens, Nefertari, Hatshepsut, Valley of the Nobles, Valley of the Workers, Karnak and Luxor temples, Mummification and Luxor museums, we have even been able to go a second time to Nefertari tomb. Next day we drove some hours to arrive at Abydos temple and on the way back to Dendera temple. Next five days we sailed the Nile on board of a Dahabiya, pretty much like English lords had sailed 100 years ago, and we visited lots of local life and villages and temples on the way, one must experience it. Arriving in Aswan, we did stay at the Old Cataract Hotel and its amazing view and historic premises, and Michael picked up us next day with a driver and a comfy car with AC, then we drove to Abu Simbel and later on the day with a motor boat through the old rapids to a Nubian Village, with its beautiful people, brilliant colorful houses, we held a small Nile crocodile in our hands!!! On the day after we enjoyed the hotel a bit to chill out and later we travelled back to Luxor by train, together with Michael, he dropped off us at our hotel and arranged the same driver to bring us to Hurghada next day, where we spent the last week of our holidays at the Desert Rose resort, also an indication from Michael, he even went further to contact the manager and we had a VIP treatment... During the whole trip, Go Luxor Tours had made all efforts to fulfill every wish or need we had, even going out of their way to make it. Not to mention Michael and Francis complied the whole time with Covid protection measures, even if I said they didn't need to be so strict about. To make a long and unforgettable story short, you, that's reading this review right now, make sure that you make your trip to Egypt, full program or a single tour with Michael and Go Luxor Tours...You'll get the best guides, good prices and no hassle. They will provide you with all tips you need about dressing, tipping, money exchanging, and whatsoever... Thanks for every little part of this trip, Michael, I am sure it would not be the same If we didn't made it with Go Luxor Tours, now we have life-long lasting memories (and hope you're enjoying your Tiroler whiskey, hahaha)...
