Be very careful as this operator is not super forthcoming with information once you book. Very unresponsive to WhatsApp when we asked for a timeline of our two day trip and especially when it came to the hot air balloon ride. We booked the sunrise balloon ride or at least that is what the add online indicated but that did not happen. We were finally messaged at 10:30pm the night prior to our booked and told pick up would be 5:40. Obviously not early enough to make the 6:30 sunrise as pickup for that is at 4:00. Every single person in the shuttle and on the boat thought the same as us, that we booked the sunrise trip so we are confident that it wasn’t just a miscommunication for mix up on our end. I am confident that this is an every day occurrence that when the sunrise trip is full this operator just puts people on the next one later in the morning. Maybe they don’t but the fact there is very little communication prior to the booking leads me to believe it’s not exactly an accident as there is only so much room every day for actual sunrise trips. With that said the trip we did was great but just not what we booked. As there is no shortage of tour operators I would not book through this one again.

Colossi of Memnon, Thebes, Luxor Egypt
Then you will be transported to the Necropolis of Thebes, the Valley of the Kings on the West Bank of Luxor. This ancient necropolis is a must-see for Luxor travelers. There you visit four royal tombs, including the Tomb of Ramses, the Tomb of Horemheb, the Tomb of Merenptah .Valley of the Kings on the West Bank of Luxor.
Tomb of King Ramesses lX was the third pharaoh of the Twentieth Dynasty of the New Kingdom of Ancient Egypt. His name prior to assuming the crown was Amonhirkhopshef. He was the fifth son of Ramesses III and was appointed to the position of the crown prince by the twenty-second year of his father's reign when all four of his elder brothers predeceased his promotion to the crown prince. The tomb has so much colour and details even the ceiling above the sarcophagi with its goddess Nut stretching across space. The sarcophagus is one of the largest in the valley, even though some of the paintings have deteriorated this is one of the most decorated.
In Egyptian mythology, Ptah is the demiurge of Memphis, god of craftsmen and architects. In the or simply in its falcon form of the new deity, it began to be placed in tombs to accompany and protect the dead on their journey to the West of Luxor. Tomb 8, which is located in the Valley of the Kings, was the burial place of the Pharaoh Merneptah and is the model of royal tombs Merneptah was a son of Ramesses II and Queen Isis-Nofret.the tomb was discovered by Howard Carter in 1903. Of course there is a material decrease in the number of lateral rooms, and a dramatic increase in the height of the corridors and rooms. He did away with the jogged axis used since the time of Horemheb and instead built the entire tomb on a single axis. Also, for the first time, the entrance was made considerably wider than earlier tombs.
Extra Tickets if you Would like to Visit it
After visiting the tombs you will be transported to the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut (Deir el Bahari), the only woman ever to reign over Egypt as Pharaoh. This queen was an ancestor of King Tutankhamun and belonged to the same dynasty. Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, the only woman ever to reign over Egypt as Pharaoh.

The company and Dr Mo lack accountability and organization. Booked a sunrise hot air balloon ride with a two day tour of Luxor. The hot air balloon ride was sold as a sunrise hot air balloon ride, not the ride after the sunrises. The description does not match what all English speaking foreign people on our boat this morning believed they had booked. The day I booked the tour I sent a message via the viator app to ensure our itinerary was set and the transfers from the airport were set. It took 2 days for the company to respond. Dr Mo was not responsive to WhatsApp messages either. The day before the hot air balloon ride my fiancé and I did not know when we were being picked up for the hot air balloon ride until 10:30 at night. I had sent several messages inquiring. I had been on one before that didn’t go due to wind. The pickup was 4 am and I wanted to be ready. We watched the sunrise on a boat on the Nile which was to transfer us to transport to the hot air balloon field and saw all of the other balloons take off. Everyone on our boat had received the very same impression that they were buying a sunrise tour. When messaged with my disappointment that he had scammed all of us into believing we had a sunrise tour, he messaged that it would have cost more and left at 4 am. At no point was this communicated. I would not use DR Mo tours ever again. I live in Cairo and will not be bringing any friends or family through his company. I will ensure that the international community that I am a part of will know of my experience and beware. Upside, The tour guide, Hassan, and our driver, Mohammed, were great.

Amazing experience, the pilot and crew were friendly and professional. Felt completely safe in their capable hands. Worth the early start! Thoroughly recommend.
Had a great time enjoyed the sunset and the lunch made my time in Egypt a good one and can’t wait to visit again
thank you DrMo Tours for perfect trip in Luxor, really its amazing tours and moments i cannot never forget with you,, again thanks DrMo Tours :)
Disappointing driver demanding tips nonstop. He even followed us after getting dropped off asking us to withdraw cash from an ATM for more tips. Might as well have hired a local taxi instead.
Great pick up experience. We had an amazing drive to our hotel with a great conversation with out driver. He made us feel welcome and shared a bit about his beautiful city.
Prompt pickup and a great driver! I felt safe the whole ride and they helped me with my luggage. I would definitely use them again
The driver picked us up in front of the station and saved us the headache of the taxi drivers. Definitely recommend it. The car was clean and had a good AC.
Driver was on time and helped us with the baggage. The car was comfortable, clean and had air conditioning.
Dr. Mo was on point with communication was on point. Even though we had a little delay with our flight, he was extremely patient. He even booked our transfer back to Cairo and in Cairo as well. Great experience.
The tour experience was outstanding. He offered various sightseeing locations. Had sense of humor. His translating and interpreting was excellent. Okay He was very knowledgeable. Transportation was very efficient and he accompanied and assisted well with our questions. Overall fantastic experience I highly recommend him.
Very comfortable and cool car. We were picked up and dropped off on time without issue. Driver was professional and navigated the somewhat hectic traffic well. Would recommend!
All went perfect. Good communication before pickup. Clean car would use again. Thank you for taking care of us.
Very nice car, driver speaks very good English, fast and efficient trip to the airport, good communication over WhatsApp.
The driver was very nice, he speaks English very well. The car was very comfortable and very new. Thank you I LIKE EGYPT TOURS for the arrangement.
Upon arrival to Luxor airport we meet the representative of the agency holding sign of " I Like Egypt Tours" And he picked us up by First class air conditioner Luxury car in 30 minutes and drop us off to our hotel. Highly recommend
Our guide was already there when we arrived, we even ask our driver to bring us to near mall in which he willingly obliged without a fee. Thank you so much.
We booked private transfer to hotel via viator and no one showed up for pickup at midnight. The guy contacted us next day saying that he did not have flight information. I don’t understand how as we provided everything on viator. Also when we booked the tour he contacted us with all the extra tours they provide in luxor, if they dint have the most important info he should have asked about it in the first place instead of marketing what tours they provide We were stranded at the airport at midnight and got ripped off by another cab driver for transfer to hotel
Other than negotiating and arranging your own after you arrive there, I think it is the cheapest area for private transfer vehicles. I believe that negotiations and arrangements in Egypt require patience and energy, but I think that if we don’t want to bother with that kind of thing, we can ask them to do it. As of 2021, Uber taxis were not available in Luxor, so it was very easy as we were able to meet up with them immediately upon arrival using this pick-up and drop-off service and smoothly get to the hotel. We also asked for a private tour of Luxor, so it was good to be able to secure both the tour and the transfer in one contact.
