Tour To Luxor West Bank: Valley Of The Kings & Hatshepsut Temple

We had an excellent 2 days with Ghada on our private tour. She knew so much and was also very protective of us and ensuring we had a great time. She pointed out many things we never would have been able to see, and was also willing to adjust when we had different feedback about how we wanted to spend our time. We had an amazing experience and the value was great!

Egypt Tailor Made put together for us a 9-day guided tour of Ancient Egypt and we loved it. Not just was the organization great, but the guides and drivers were excellent. We were shown amazing sights, guides were super knowledgeable and helpful, they knew from where to take the best pics etc, we were driven to all the sites and driven back to our hotel. In a nutshell, fantastic. We highly recommend Egypt Tailor Made.

Amazing. We did hot air ballon too. Just unforgettable. Valley of the kings and Hatshepsuit tombs are a wowser We are with Egypt Tailor Made tours

As our tour guide and driver, Sabry and Mohammed from Egypt Tailor Made Tours exceeded all expectations. Sabry's extensive knowledge of Egyptian history and culture brought each site to life, providing rich context and engaging anecdotes. His passion for his country was contagious, making every excursion a memorable experience. His organizational skills ensured a seamless and enjoyable journey, from navigating bustling markets to exploring ancient wonders. Mohammed was a talented driver, navigating all over Cairo and Giza with amazing expertise. Overall, Sabry, Mohammed, and Egypt Tailor Made Tours delivered an exceptional and personalized travel experience that left us with a profound appreciation for Egypt's treasures.

I had a truly fantastic experience with this company in Cairo, but the 2 days trips I had in Luxor were less great. The time felt rushed and the guide barely spent 10mins talking for each site we visited before disappearing to wait at the entrance. I ended up mostly wandering around myself half listening to other tour groups.

We booked 2 separate days for our family of 4 and were lucky to have Ms Rania Raouf as our guide both days. We spent the entire first day on the West Bank visiting 6 different locations. Rania is truly an expert in this area and she was very helpful explaining each tomb, it's significance, and the story being told on the walls. Without her, we would have no idea what we were looking at. She was always patient with our seemingly unending stream of questions. The second day was on the East Bank where we visited both Karnak and Luxor temples. Again Rania was extremely helpful to understand what we were seeing. The driver (I forgot his name) was also attentive and shuttled us around in a van that was spacious and always cool. This was very welcomed as it was very hot during our visit. Finally, booking through Walid was very easy. Communication was always responsive both during the booking process and during the tours. It's always nice to get a WhatsApp message the night before confirming names and times to meet. I 100% would book with Egypt Tailor Made again.

Rania was the best tour guide I have ever had. She knows an incredible amount about Egyptian history — she has two masters degrees! — and on top of that was so kind and friendly. I did a private day tour to the West Bank. She was happy to start early so we could beat the heat and the crowds. We started at the Colossi of Memnon then went to Queen Hatshepsut’s temple. Rania had a ton of amazing stories about the queen and her conflict with her stepson. Our visit to the Valley of the Kings was also great. Rania gave great recommendations about which tombs to visit and told me what to look for when wandering inside each tomb (guides are not allowed inside). 10/10 day, highly recommend! Ask for Rania you will be lucky to have her

We had a great time at Luxor. Our hot air balloon ride was very well organised and the flight was safe. After that, our guide Ghada was very kind and informative during our tour to the valley of the kings, the valley of the queens, temple oh Hatsepsut, and next day the temple of Karnak. Our driver Mahmoud had a very clean vehicle and drove really safely.

Last February our family visited Egypt, and we couldn't be more happy with our decision to hire Egypt Tailor Made's services! We had a wonderful time thanks to Walid and Omar and all the team in Egypt Tailor Made Tours. They tailor made our 7 day Egypt vacation based on our requests and everything went smoothly thanks to their suggestions and service. Communication was fast, reliable, and constant during our planning previous our trip and during our time in Egypt. We visited Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, and Abu Simbel and were provided with the best guides (Ahmed in Cairo, and Mohamed in Luxor, Aswan and Abu Simbel) who impressed us with their knowledge of Egypt and a super friendly and safe driver (Mahmoud) who drove us in Luxor and all the way to Aswan and Abu Simbel. Do not hesitate to contact them if you are planning to visit Egypt.

My husband and I, we booked a 10 days tour from Cairo, Aswan, Luxor and Alexandria. They were very informative and patient right from the itinerary planning itself. Everything went smooth for us from the day we arrived till the end of our tour. Our guide Ms. Hend, Ms. Ghada and Ms. Sarah were very friendly and good at explaining every detail of the historical sites. We truly enjoyed our trip in Egypt. Thank you to everyone on the team who made our trip a memorable one.

My wife and I did a day tour with Rania as part of a wider itinerary with Egypt Tailor Made, and it was fantastic. She is a very knowledgeable guide who put in lots of effort to make the day special for us. Highly recommended!!

My recent day tour, led by Rania Raouf, was a highlight of my travel through Egypt. From the moment I was picked up from my hotel, Rania's friendly disposition put me at ease amid the hustle of the tourist circuit in Luxor. Rania's passion for ancient Egypt was palpable. She shared personal anecdotes from her life that enhanced my own experience of the sights and at each stop she made sure that I had the context and information I needed to make the most of the sights. With so much information to absorb, no question was too small for her to tackle. She made entry at each site seamless and efficient helping me to see everything I wanted and making suggestions for our day when needed. I can't recommend her enough as your guide. Her, and the staff at Egypt Tailor Made, did a fantastic job and making me feel secure and comfortable. My trip would not have been the same without!

Absolutely fantastic! As part of a larger tour with ETM, we - family with 4 kids, ages 6-12 - spent 9 of 13 days, including 2 “free” days, visiting Aswan and Luxor and, from there, exploring the multitude of sites, temples and tombs in the vicinity. We included a day trip to Abu Simbel and drove from Aswan to Luxor, visiting Kom Ombo, and Edfu on the way. From Luxor we visited the local sites and also made a trip to Dendera. While the itinerary was agreed upfront, we did have the flexibility to make changes to the order of tours, start times, etc, as we pleased which, with small kids, is very pleasant. ETM provided a spacious and comfortable van for all airport transfers and tours. Our very friendly driver Mahmoud kept the car well stocked with ice cold water and would make whatever stop we wanted along the way to buy specific supplies. Some of the days, especially Abu Simbel, were very long with long hours in the van but it was all quite comfortable. To note: Egyptian traffic is a bit crazy but Mahmoud is a safe driver! As guide we had Ahmed Aziz who brought each site to life with not just the face value descriptions but with stories and myths of gods and kings and with a passion and energy that both the kids and adults fully enjoyed. Ahmed always new just that little bit more, or a little less spotted detail on a mural which made each place even more interesting. Also useful was his help with practical matters: finding nice lunch spots, organising a water taxi boat, knowing the best shops and letting us know good price ranges, how much to tip, or even when (not!) to tip. He introduced himself saying he was now part of our family and that’s certainly how it felt. Ask for Ahmed! Our experience is that this is a great destination with kids, even in the heat of summer but make sure you bring parasols/umbrellas, build in some breaks, get up early to beat the heat and end each day by the pool. I’m writing this on our last free day in Luxor, before heading to Cairo for the last part of the tour. Thus far, I can only say that ETM is fully living up to the recommendations I read on Earthtrekkers.com and am looking forward to the next stage.

We did a private tour of the West Bank in Luxor with Egypt Tailor Made. We visited the Valley of the Kings, a family-run alabaster workshop, and the Temple of Hatshepsut. Our tour guide, Rania, was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about everything we visited. We really enjoyed our time with her! Would definitely recommend this tour!

We spent fantastic few days with Ghada on in depth private tour around Luxor and Aswan temples. She is very passionate and knowledgeable and we liked that she had additional print outs which helped us learn visually and easily. Ghada is super helpful, professional, wonderful to be around and she manages the day seamlessly. We highly recommend her as an experienced and capable guide who also shows the best of Egyptian hospitality and warmth. Anything we asked Ghada helped us with. Our driver Mahmoud was excellent and had an immaculate specious van.

Excellent, useful information, very good English, highly recommended. We had a day trip to Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, Alabaster shop. Special thanks to our guide Khaled.

We took a 5 day / 4 night cruise on the Nile starting in Luxor with the Karnak and Luxor temples, and the Valley of the Kings on the West Bank (after a beautiful hot air balloon ride in the morning recommended by our guide). Saw Edfu, Kom Ombo and Abu Simbel. Our tour guide, Ahmed Aziz, was outstanding. He provided great explanations and answered all of our questions patiently. Ahmed went above and beyond with taking us to the market to find specific souvenirs and helping to ensure we got the best prices. What a wonderful time exploring upper Egypt!

Spent 5 days and 4 nights on the Nile Cruise. We toured Luxor, Karnak, Abu Simbel, Valley of the Kings and many more wonderful sites. Ahmed Aziz was our guide thru all of this and also took us to the local market where he helped us find the perfect gifts. He was informative and a joy to be with.

We had two wonderful days with Rania! We have now used 4 of Egypt Tailor Made guides and they are all great! Her passion for luxor shined as she explained each site. She was very flexible and very kind to our kids. She went over and above to make sure we got checked into the right guesthouse after our first day of touring and then even helped us order at a restaurant before saying goodbye the second day. Our kids love that they now have a friend in Luxor! A half day touring the Karnak and Luxor temple and a full day on the West bank was perfect for our family.

Luxor is such an amazing place Egypt tailor made and our wonderful guide Mrs Shaimaa made it so easy to explore this beautiful place in just two days.

Thoroughly enjoyed our two days with our guide, Shimiaa, and our driver Ahmed. Shimiaa is clearly passionate about the work she does and made the tours of both the west and east bank thoroughly enjoyable and informative. She made recommendations that we would not have thought to consider and we were really glad we took her advice on what to prioritize seeing in our limited time. At no point we’re we rushed through our itinerary and we will leave Luxor feeling that we have really “seen” this city. With regards to Ahmed, he was incredibly polite and friendly and always had a smile for us. He was ready to whisk us on to our next destination whenever we needed and he was flexible with making unscheduled stops for cash machines or when I asked to visit a shop. Overall an excellent experience that we will wholeheartedly recommend to others.
