Alaa Hassan is guide for me in English. His explanation is very good.
Great experience. The guide (Demiana) and the driver are really friendly. A very complete explanation of each of the places, always with a smile. Thank you very much.
We had this tour today with our guide Demiana and it was an amazing experience. She was incredibly kind, very knowledgeable, and super friendly throughout the entire tour. You could really tell that she is passionate about her work and enjoys sharing the history and stories of the places we visited. The tour was well organized, informative, and very enjoyable. Her warm and positive personality made the whole day even more special. Highly recommended. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!
Fabulous tour. Gabriel, our guide, was full of knowledge and very friendly. He supplied us with lots of information and never rushed us when we had stops. Would highly recommend.
My guide Amr elzen took us on a brilliant day today to valley of the kings, temple of Hatshepsut and collossi of Memnon. Amazing experience rich in history. Amr gave us a very detailed account of the ancient history
Tuve la oportunidad de realizar el tour “Shared Day Tour to Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut, Memnon & Lunch” y sinceramente superó todas mis expectativas. Es una experiencia perfectamente organizada, muy completa y absolutamente imprescindible si visitas Luxor. Desde el inicio, todo fue puntual y bien coordinado. El transporte fue cómodo y seguro, lo que permitió disfrutar del trayecto mientras nos dirigíamos hacia la majestuosa Valle de los Reyes. Allí, visitar varias tumbas fue simplemente impresionante: la conservación de los colores, los jeroglíficos y la historia que encierran hacen que uno se transporte miles de años atrás. Luego, el recorrido continuó hacia el espectacular templo de la reina Hatshepsut, una obra arquitectónica única enclavada en la roca. Nuestro guía, Alaa Hassan, hizo que cada rincón cobrara vida con sus explicaciones claras, apasionadas y llenas de contexto histórico. No se limitó a repetir información, sino que realmente transmitía conocimiento y amor por la historia egipcia. La parada en los Colosos de Memnón fue breve pero muy significativa, ideal para fotos y para comprender su importancia histórica. El almuerzo incluido fue delicioso, bien organizado y en un lugar agradable, lo que permitió recargar energías para continuar el día. Quiero destacar especialmente a Alaa Hassan: su profesionalismo, carisma y atención al detalle marcaron completamente la diferencia. Siempre estuvo pendiente del grupo, respondió todas las preguntas con paciencia y logró mantener el interés en todo momento. Sin duda, es uno de los mejores guías que he tenido en cualquier viaje. Es una forma eficiente, enriquecedora y muy agradable de descubrir algunos de los tesoros más importantes de Egipto. IMPORTANTE: Antes de finalizar el recorrido, el guía nos advirtió que el pago para él y el conductor no estaba incluido en el monto que pagamos a Viator, por lo que nos pidió que les diéramos una propina "amable" por el servicio. ====== I had the pleasure of joining the “Shared Day Tour to Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut, Memnon & Lunch”, and it truly exceeded all my expectations.

An excellent journey through history! Our guide, Gabriel, was excellent, sharing countless details about the monuments we visited in the Valley of the Kings and other historical details. He went the extra mile and made this trip memorable! We are immensely grateful for his effort, dedication, commitment, and professionalism. We highly recommend his services. Thank you again, Gabriel!
We visited the valley of the kings, the Hatshepsut temple and the Karnak complex with the guide Roman. He was very prepared and involving about egyptian history and culture and we had a great time. I recommend him much!
I had an incredible experience on this shared day tour. As a solo traveler, I really appreciated how perfectly organized everything was from start to finish; it made the whole day very smooth and stress-free. Demiana, my guide, was absolutely wonderful. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the Valley of the Kings and the surrounding history—her explanations really brought the ancient sites to life. Beyond her expertise, she showed great attention to detail and was very attentive to my needs, making sure I was comfortable and well-informed throughout the day. If you are looking for a well-managed tour with a top-tier guide, I highly recommend booking this one!

A great tour. Our guide Demi made it very easy, and was knowledgable about all the sites. We saw everything we wanted to, with no hassle. Would highly recommend.
5 stars Gabriel Is not only our great Tour guide but also a professional egyptologist and teacher. He makes lots of exciting speeches of ancient Egypt stories and theories. Our tour team members all learn great understanding for all Tombs of kings. Nice tour and enjoy one day history class and amazing places. Gabriel 不僅是我們出色的導遊,也是一位專業的埃及學家和教師。 他講述了許多精彩的古埃及故事和理論,讓我們受益匪淺。 我們旅行團的成員都對所有國王陵墓有了更深入的了解。 這是一次很棒的旅行,讓我們享受了一天的歷史課,並參觀了許多令人驚嘆的景點。
Amazing tour, learned a lot about Egyptian history thanks to our tour guide Madrona she was amazing! The tombs was so well preserved and the hieroglyphics were so cool to see! We then went for lunch at a lovely restaurant and had a tasty buffet along with visiting an alabaster factory which was very nice!
Spent an amazing half day with our tour guide, Gabriel. His knowledge of the history of Egypt and the sights was second to none. Entire group thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend
I highly recommend Shady as a tour guide! He explained the whole history behind the temples with passion, which make my trip more memorable!
The tour was very nice, I took the one with Guide (Nelly) and without tickets but it was very easy to get the tickets on site. Nelly was not only a guide who explain things very well, she is very funny and make a nice group so the tour was really nice!
Demi, my guide was very helpful throughout the tour and did an amazing job helping me understand the history of the temple and tombs, she is always ready to take pictures and makes me feel safe, would recommend
The tour was a wonderful experience and definitely one I will recommend to others. The organization was flawless, and the itinerary was well-balanced between sightseeing and free time. A special word of appreciation for the guide Mahmoud Issa– he was extremely well-prepared, friendly, and always willing to provide extra information or answer any questions. He contributed greatly to the pleasant atmosphere of the group and shared many fascinating details about each place we visited. Thank you for this amazing experience! I will definitely use your services again. Warm regards, Anca Dana
Aladdin is an amazing guide, punctual and full of historical knowledges. Provide very clear information on each places.
A day well spent Nice tour van was comfortable and the tour guide was informative and tour well organised Nice tours 11 days tour has been nice till now and am sure it would be great till the end of the tour
led by our expert and flexible guide Manal, we visited the valley of the kings, and various temples, she is an expert in the stories and also the questions of our daughter were no problem the lunch was well arranged
We went to Luxor from Makadi Bay with a shuttle just for us. Our private guide Basem was very nice an passionate about ancient egypt. The tour itself is very extensive (almost a bit too much). The ~ 4h Drive + all the activities + 2 tourist shop stops + 37°C wether can be quite exhausting. Over all it was a nice trip to expierience and learn about ancient egypt.
The tour was really well organized, Adam was lovely and provided very interesting storys about the architecture. Lunch was included and tasty ! Thank you again Adam, we really recommend this tour.
Absolutely Fantastic 💯 would recommend 👌. Our guide Sama was lovely, really enjoyed listening and learning her knowledge was incredible and made it very interesting 😀. The whole day from pick up to drop off was great. Plenty of refreshment stops and lunch was delicious 😋. A big shout out to our driver also ,he even stopped so we could see the beautiful stars in the sky on our way back 😀 ⭐️⭐️🌃🌠 The whole day was fantastic ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Jacqueline and Trevor Belfast
Thank you Sama for an unforgettable day. You were very helpful in everything we needed all day. Very informative in all aspects of the Valley of the Kings and made a long day very enjoyable. At first she was moving very quick but after I told her I had half a lung removed she gave me time to recover at each trip and continuously asked me if I was ok. Thank you Sama. Highly recommend.
Our guide Hassan brought us along and was very informative. Engaging and was comprehensive in the details shared. Walked us through the throngs of people trying to sell products. The ride for the tour was comfortable too.
I highly recommend Ahmed Yossry as a guide for anyone visiting Luxor. His deep knowledge of Egypt’s history, passion for storytelling, and warm hospitality make for an unforgettable experience. Ahmed not only provides fascinating insights into Luxor’s ancient temples and tombs but also shares local traditions and hidden gems that most tourists miss. His professionalism, punctuality, and ability to tailor the tour to different interests ensure that every visitor gets the most out of their time in this incredible city. Whether you’re a history enthusiast or a first-time traveler to Egypt, Ahmed’s guidance will make your journey truly special. If you’re looking for an exceptional guide to explore the wonders of Luxor, Ahmed Yossry is the perfect choice!
Brilliant one day tour with the a very knowledgeable guide named Aladdin. Delicious food, steered a boat along the river Nile. Visits to Hapsheput and Karnak temples: what an experience.Highly recommend tour
Ir was an awesome day, visiting yhe valley of the kings, hatshepsut, and the mamoths. Impressive the grandiosity and the conservation off the monuments. Super thanks to our great tour guide Manal, for proporcionate us this great day, and for Share her vast knowledge with us 😀
The best tour so far Remon is the best and so professional and friendly tour guide We enjoy all day in Luxor It's really worth it to take this day trip in Luxor and spend time with Remon
Great tour. Very knowledgeable and patient with children. Answered all the questions we had and provided advice on the best places to see. Having done this and observing the entrance process at each site, I would recommend that if you are visiting with young children, don't try to do this yourself. Mahmoud and Elia made the trip so seamless and easy. We were restricted on time and had to check out but they waited for us while we moved our luggage which was great. Also we switched collossi of memnon to Karnak Temple which wasn't a problem at all and I'm really glad we did because Karnak was one of the best sites we visited. Also, take cash. This may seem obvious but some places take card but the transport within doesn't. Thankfully Mahmoud paid the cash for us so we didn't have to walk. Overall couldn't recommend these guys more
The guide aladdin was a very enjoyable tour guide. They picked me up on time and explained the history carefully. I had the most enjoyable time on my trip to Egypt. Thank you!
Aladdin tour was really fun! Even though I couldn't speak English, he explained it politely. If you're going to Luxor, you should definitely take part in his tour
Such a great experience to visit the Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut Temple. Our guide, Manal explained all places and stories very clearly and answered all our questions. The included Egyptian lunch was very good! She also accompanied the group to a Alabaster stone making place and a Cartousche jewelry shop. Highly recommended!!
The trip was so amazing! Definitely a long day but they were very patient with us if we took a little extra time for photos, and the information was presented very well by Mina! We also were given some choice over what we were most interested to see in the Valley of the Kings and could personalize the tour to our interests a little bit. Our group was small and very friendly, and we stuck together throughout the trip easily. We managed to avoid any extra fees, but I would not recommend paying for the small shuttle at the sites as they are definitely within walking distance. We also made a couple quick additional stops for refreshments which were much needed. The lunch was really tasty and so much food, definitely a big plus on this tour! and the restaurant had a lovely view of some fields, and was away from the city a little so it was very peaceful. In all, it was definitely worth every penny and I highly recommend this tour to anyone traveling in Luxor with limited time to see everything.
very well organized tour and the guide mina was really patient and knowledgable about the site, i learnt a lot! definitely would recommend :)
My tour was only for the east side of Luxor, I was picked up one hour late, and my tour which was in the afternoon was shared with a group that was on tour since 8am, so everyone was super tired and wanting to go home. The tour was supposed to be 4 hours, but at the temples itself we said so little time, was only 1 hour at the Karnak temple (which is a huge temple) and 45 minutes at Luxor temple, I didn’t like. I understand the group was tired from the morning tour, but it’s not my fault. The lunch was ok, and we went to the tour office for a coffee which was nice, the employees was nice and we got a little gift also which was lovable, but the pressure to write a review in TripAdvisor was so big, and they kept pressuring to write a review immediately with the guy next, so I was uncomfortable and embarrassed.
We did a private tour of the valley of the kings and queens with Ayman. From the many tours and guides, this one was the best. Ayman is a guide that differs from all others. Knowledge, a great way to tell the stories, very attentive and flexible to our needs. Simply great
Brilliant tour with amazing guider Andrews and Adam,warmly help and nice tour!highly recommend!!will ask my friend come to join
All good experience. Adam was very experienced, knowledgeable and protected us all the way. Andrew was polite and easy to speak with. Very recommended
The views are amazing ! We had a great time! The staff was really welcoming , very good experience , I recommend it 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Amazing Andrew and Adam. Everything was perfectly organized and also the guide was very charming. I really recommend this
The excursion was amazing. The driver, the guide, the captain of the boat were all very nice. The views were beautiful. The hotel and the food were both also good.
My day-long tour of Luxor was absolutely incredible! We visited all the major sites—Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple, Hatshepsut’s Temple, and Luxor Temple—and each one left me in awe. The Valley of the Kings was a breathtaking journey into ancient history, and the vibrant colors inside the tombs were astonishing. Karnak and Luxor Temples showcased the grandeur of Egyptian architecture, and Hatshepsut’s Temple was a masterpiece carved into the cliffs. Our guide - Mahmoud Issa - was knowledgeable, funny, took great photos and videos and shared fascinating stories that brought the history to life. Highly recommend this unforgettable experience for anyone visiting Egypt! I would also recommend bringing a hat and some sunscreen because a lot of the temples are directly exposed to the sun !
We booked full day tour with flights, we had a driver & guide, the van is cozy enough & too big for 2 of us. it's amazing to see the historical places, however, not enough to enjoy just in one day, too rush. Guide wasnt explaining about the history of each places, he'd rather wait at the gate while we're exploring all places. Everywhere, the site officers including police are always asking tip/ money to tourist, unpleasant experience.
During my visit to Luxor, I had the pleasure of being guided by Andrew, and he truly exceeded all expectations. Andrew is not only incredibly knowledgeable about the history and culture of Luxor but also has a talent for making every moment of the tour engaging and memorable. From the Valley of the Kings to Karnak Temple, Andrew shared fascinating insights and stories that brought the ancient sites to life. His passion for his work is evident, and he patiently answered all my questions, making the experience both educational and enjoyable. What impressed me most was Andrew’s professionalism and attention to detail. He ensured everything ran smoothly, from transportation to timing at each site. He also went out of his way to provide recommendations for local dining and hidden gems, making my trip even more special. Andrew’s friendly and approachable nature made me feel completely at ease throughout the tour. It felt like exploring Luxor with a knowledgeable friend rather than just a guide. I can’t recommend Andrew enough to anyone visiting Luxor. He made my trip unforgettable, and I’m so grateful for his dedication and expertise. Thank you, Andrew, for an incredible experience!
It was a great experience. Enjoyable and very nice environment. Thanks for everything Andro!! 100% recommended!! :).
