I can't say enough about my great experience in Luxor with Egypt Sunny Tours! I spent two days with Khaled Fangary, an excellent guide, and partner in the company. He contacted me as soon as I booked the tour, listened to me and customized the experience according to my preferences. He is a wonderful Egyptologist who offered helpful explanations as we toured the Luxor Museum, Karnak Temple, Valley of the Kings, Luxor Temple and much more. I was glad that I had scheduled a private tour as we were able to take time to answer all my questions without being rushed by a group schedule. In addition Khaled gave me glimpses of life in modern Luxor. We spent time in a coffee shop near his home where I met his daughter, son, and business partner. I felt like a friend from out of town being being introduced to all Luxor has to offer. Khaled provided wonderful advice that made my trip a complete pleasure. He arranged my land transfer from Hurghada, booked a hotel room for me when the property had none available for direct booking, and saw me to the airport for my late night departure. The tour included all admissions, transfers, and a relaxing lunch. He offered, but did not push, a few extras that made the time more rewarding. My time in Luxor couldn't have been better.
We are all here had the great honor to had you with us and we looking forward for seeing you again Khaled
