Good car, good driver

My driver is Zeko, and he is a very nice and polite person. He provided drinks and snacks on the way. The car environment was excellent; it was a new model and very clean. Overall, this was a great experience in Luxor.

Most Medandala, full day, highly recommended!

It was a very nice experience. The whole trip was full and relaxing. I wanted to go to the Temple of Dandara, and finally got what I wanted, worthy of being the most beautiful temple in Egypt. But there are few resources on Trip Advisor above East Coast + Dandala, making it harder to find resources in Chinese. I was worried about not understanding the guide's Chinese, but I didn't think I was actually worried. Our guide, Ali, speaks Chinese well, has a good knowledge reserve, and is also well-communicated, with questions and answers and lots of practical advice. Very trustworthy. Very recommended.

Highly recommended!

The best tour agent is ‘Eyes of Egypt - Luxor.’ Here are some reasons why I recommend them: - Prompt Communication: They contacted me several days prior to the tour date to reconfirm the details, which other agents didn’t do. - Quick Responses and Flexibility: They responded quickly, and when I asked to change the pick-up time, they were flexible and accommodating. - No Pushy Sales Tactics: Unlike other agents who tried to sell additional tours or SIM cards, ‘Eyes of Egypt’ focused solely on providing a great tour experience. - Helpful Driver: The driver, Ahmed, was very helpful and responded sincerely whenever I had questions. I’ve used three tour agents booked via TripAdvisor during my trip. I would like to emphasize to fellow travelers in Egypt how crucial it is to choose trustworthy agents and reliable guides or drivers. Unfortunately, I had a negative experience with a guide from another agency and also from other agent staff who prioritized selling over addressing my inquiries promptly. In summary, if you’re traveling in the Luxor area, I highly recommend using ‘Eyes of Egypt - Luxor’ as your tour agent.

I definitely want to visit Dendera

Everything went very smoothly, from the communication beforehand to the actual tour, and they responded quickly to our questions. The driver was on time to pick us up at the hotel. I was traveling alone, but the driver asked me how long I wanted to stay at each temple, so I was able to look around to my satisfaction! I had contacted them in advance to ask for a ride to Luxor Airport after the tour, and they accommodated that as well (for an additional fee). If you want to visit Dendera but aren't sure how to get there, I recommend this tour!!

Best day in Luxor

It was a best day of our stay in Luxor. This is highly recommended. The driver was very nice and it was very comfortable, calm, and safe. The temples were very beautiful and we enjoyed alot. It was very easy to communicate with the company, so that we could leave earlier to enjoy the temple with less people and they told us very detail about the trip beforehand and lt gave us clear view.
