Me and my girlfriend went with Ahmed Khalifa for about five hours and he was a great guide with a lot of knowledge! Every question we had he had a really in depth detail explanation for since he had been doing this for many years, I think since 2007. We booked through the hotel and paid 110$ for everything (not the entrances) which is a little more than with the online options but it was worth it!

Itinerary
We visit the rock hewn mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut. After the death of her husband, Thutmose II, Hatshepsut took the reign as either co-regent with or self-proclaimed Pharaoh instead of Thutmose III. Either way, she was a skillful warrior and strong ruler re-establishing trade routes with foreign countries. Prove of her successes and accomplishments are written on the walls of her memorial Temple at Deir El-Bahari.
You will visit the old necropolis of ancient Thebes on the West Bank of Luxor. We will take you to the spectacular Valley of the Kings, where up to now, 63 tombs have been found varying from a one chamber crypt (KV54) to a tomb with 120 chambers (KV5). You will be able to visit 3 tombs with the entrance ticket. The tombs of Tutankhamen and Seti I require separate tickets (not included).
To conclude the trip, we stop at the base of the magnificent Colossi of Memnon, two immense statues guarding the ongoing excavation of the palace of Amenophis III. The statues are actually likenesses of Pharaoh Amenophis III. Memnon was a hero of the Trojan wars, said to be the son of Eos, Goddess of Dawn. Because of an earthquake in 27BC, one of the statues was damaged and due to forces of nature, was said to "whistle" or "sing" at dawn.

Ahmed Khalifa was a very good guide! He allowed us to stay as long as we wanted in the Tumbs and explained the queens temple super clear. He also made us enter the areas when there were less crowds. He seems like a kind man and i would def book it with him again!
Good experiance, all was as planned…
Organised through the fantastic Aracan Eataby hotel where we stayed, who tailored a day in the West Bank to the places we wanted to see which included the wonderful Habu temple. Our guide Ramez was very knowledgeable giving us information before allowing us to wander and take photos ourselves at each place. Transport was good, always ready to ferry us from place to place with the day starting at 10am and finishing at 4.30pm door to door. Tour price did not include tickets for Valley of Kings, Hatshupset and Habu temples and whilst not cheap for our family of 4 as a private group, I'd consider it worth the money for overall a great experience.
Aracan eatable hotel is safe and clean. Best view Nile side rooms to King Valley and Air hot ballons. Employees are polite and helpful. I would like to thank Mr. Hassan who arrange our privet tour and transportation even for Airport such a acknowledge man. Thank you for having us.
I stayed in luxor for 2 days and we visited luxor temple, karnak temple , valley of kings etc .which was phenomenal. I loved every bit of it. Ahmad was very welcoming and a nice person
We had a wonderful time with our guide Ramez. He's incredibly knowledgeable regarding the history of Luxor and all its monuments. He was very flexible with us and answered all of our questions regarding the tour. His English is excellent and we found out he speaks Italian as well! Overall, we would definitely do the tour again with Ramez.
I only had one day in Luxor, but I wanted to see as much of it as I could while there. EgBride Travel and my guide Smiley (and driver Mohamed) made this possible for me. I did this tour, then Karnak and Luxor Temple, and the sound and light show at Karnak to finish. The Valley of the Kings was incredible, and it made it much more manageable and streamlined to have Smiley as my guide through it. The tombs are so well preserved and highlight the magnificence of pharaonic Egypt’s art work and craftsmanship in devotion to their rulers and gods. Walking up to Hatshepsut Temple, with the mountain of rock behind it, and the city of Luxor in front, was a remarkable experience. Smiley again helped bring the temple to life with his knowledge and care to point out important details. The Colossi of Memnon were huge impressive monuments and a testament to ancient Egyptian builders. My favorite part of this final part of the tour was the tasty lunch at a restaurant very close by to the statues.
After booking, we received several messages via Whatsapp welcoming us and advising us of pick up details. We were met in our hotel reception on time by Smiley, our guide. We were then taken to the car outside where we met our driver. Smiley was incredible, so knowledgeable, so friendly, so helpful and informative. He could not have been a better guide to the Valley of the Kings. Any question we asked he answered and nothing was too much trouble. We felt very comfortable with him and the driver at all times and could not have wished for a better visit to this incredible place. We were so satisfied with Smiley and the driver that we booked them to take us to Karnak Temple a few days later where we received the same level of service. We would not hesitate in recommending this company and especially Smiley as your guide. I doubt you will find a better guide in all of Egypt to take you around these sites. When we return next year we will again ask for him to take us to some more places.
The tour was amazing and rich with knowledge I learned many things about the history of Egypt and the Pharoahs , I definitely advice everyone to visit Egypt especially Luxor
We stayed at the Aracan Eatabe Luxor hotel We has an amazing tour guide Khalid Very informativ ,profesional recommending for everyone
We really enjoyed the excursion! visited the valley of the Kings, the valley of the Queens, the Temple of Hatshapsut and the colossi of Mnemnon. Grandiose and mysterious places! Amazes with its scale! Special thanks to guide Ramez. He spoke very interestingly and took great care of us!
Fantastic ride and very good team . Nice people and very experienced tour guide. Enjoyed with my family and my son has great fun.
Excellent private services with affordable prices. The manager proposed excellent services for our very short trip in Egypt. The guides, the drivers and the staff was always ready to help us and cared about us.
The service Iman provides is a friendly personal service I would recommend him to all my family and friends the temples are amazing The balloon to see the sunrise is a must see experience
Remes tour guide met us in the hotel on time. He had smile and friendly manner. He gave an outline of the day and took us to the car, with glass top and ac. Comfortable drive to the West Bank of Nile. Then made sure we clear about what to do and when. He knew his history. Next time I’d like him to visit each site with me inside the tombs. I’d could have learnt so much from him. The details. Otherwise very good.
Was amazing first the begging. The guide was really nice and explain for us everything that matters. Also in Luxor temple, he took us to places that it’s not so visit inside the temple but it’s very important. The agency was also perfect in everything since the price until help us in tips of good places to eat and taxi to the next destination. For sure I indicate this agency
Wonderful people, helps you everywhere. Instant bookings. Highly recommended. We used Luxor Temple, Karnak Temple, Hot Air Baloon and Vallehy of the King, Hatshepsut, Valley of Queens, Colossi of Memnon. We also used their services for transfer to Marsa Alam
The transfer to the West Bank was smooth. The guide and driver were very helpful, we were able to take our time during the visits and the guide was speaking in French. The activity was booked through the staff of blue heaven travel at Aracan Eatabe hotel, very friendly and helpful!
I would like to thank Blue Heaven Tours for the nice private tour they offer me in the morning ( included: Hatshepsut Temple, 3 Tombs in Valley of the Kings, a place were you can see hand crafted alabaster, and Colossi of Memnon) and felucca trip in the afternoon. The transportation was excellent, clean, new car with AC, the driver was always on time to pick us up & drop us off. The tour guide, Mr. Smiley very professional nice person and Mr. Hussein who organized the journey as well. I'll definitely recommend Blue Heaven!100%
It was very nice experience to visit west bank (Hapu-Hatshepsut-dier elmidena-Valley of the Kings ) with driver and staff! Nice customer service and efficient bookings. Definitely I will go back soon.
We took a car with a driver and we had a beautiful day trip. Thanks to Kamal, he was very kind and understanding, very professional. I definitely recommend them.
i visites Luxor this time With my husband. We were super happy we choose you. Excellent customer service and good manners from all your employees
Had some friends over for a first time visit to Luxor. No time to put a program together and do research myself so i desided to let the pro's handle it. We had a marvelous time. Mamdouh, our guide had so much to tell about the ancient kings and gods and truly enjoys his work. He even gave us extra time to visit the tomb of Seti I, although that was not part of the program. Highly recommended.
Beautiful monuments and a comfortable journey in an air-conditioned car with a very experienced and helpful driver
Hassan advised us very well, both for the hot air balloon ride as the excursion to the different sites to visit. We highly recommend
Thanks to our exceptional French-speaking guide, Mr. Mamdouh Kamel, a real and then a scientist, we really touched ancient Egypt.
A great excursion to immerse yourself in the exciting history of Egypt. After an uncomplicated booking a day earlier, we were picked up on time by our guide at the hotel on the day of travel. The coach was comfortable and well tempered. Our guide responded well to the needs of our tour group, sometimes we wanted a lot of information about temples and tombs, the next moment we just wanted to enjoy the impressive architecture in silence - the balance was right. We highly recommend EgBride Travel!
Everything was fantastic, the drivers, the guide and the excursions. I would definitely repeat. Everyone was super friendly and helpful.
Everything excellent!! Very good hosts, we took a tour of all of Luxor and the hot air balloon, they also picked us up at the airport and took us from Luxor to Aswan.
Thank you for the fast service and a fair price and the professionalism of the taxi agency in the Aracan Eatabe Luxor Hotel
We contacted EgBride before coming to Egypt because we wanted to get a local agency to work with us. They accompanied us on tours to Luxor / Abu Simbel / and on the trip to Marsa Alam where we spent the last days of our holiday. Punctuality, reliability, safety and competence! Top!
Notre guide, Mohammed, était très compétent, très intéressant et il a su adapter la visite à mon enfant de 4 ans.
