Salwa was phenomenal! Great pace. Learned lots and really enjoyed the tours.
We had an amazing full-day tour covering both the East and West Banks, and Khalid was a fantastic driver for us! Traveling as a family of two adults and our young child, we decided to start the tour bright and early in the morning so we could arrive right at the opening of the places we wanted to visit. Khalid's car had great air conditioning, which is an absolute must during the heavy heat of Luxor’s summer! Even though he speaks just a little bit of English, we had really good conversations together and thoroughly enjoyed chatting with him. He was also super accommodating—whenever we needed bottled water, he always made sure to get some for us. Highly recommend booking him if you need a reliable, friendly driver for your sightseeing in Luxor!
Here’s a polished review you could post: If you’re visiting Luxor and planning to explore the East and West Banks—including the incredible Valley of the Kings—we can’t recommend Salma highly enough! She is exceptionally knowledgeable and brought the history of every site to life in a way that made our experience unforgettable. She was warm, friendly, patient, and incredibly flexible, tailoring the day to our interests and pace. We truly can’t imagine doing this tour without her. If you want an informative, enjoyable, and stress-free experience, Salma is the guide to book!
Salwa was fantastic, extremely knowledgeable on the history. Very timely, and a pleasure to be around.
Great tour… it was just really hot… 111 degrees .. but we had an amazing time .. we def would do it again
Ahmed our guide was knowledgeable person and explained us things. He has good sense ou humour, mage our trip memorable
Ahmed Kassem did an amazing job! He knows so much about Egyptian history. We made some last minute changes to the schedule and he still knew everything about all the temples and statues. He was kind and we really enjoyed our time in Luxor thanks to Ahmed.
Great experience in the West Banks, our tour guy was amazing, I totally recommend them 100% Very awesome time in Luxor
This tour covers what you absolutely must see in Luxor. If you have little time in Luxor, this is the right tour. The Karnak Temple is impressive, as are some tombs in the Valley of the Kings. Visiting them in summer (July) is very difficult due to the heat, but it has the advantage that they are not as crowded as they can be in winter. The key is to arrive as early as possible. I give it 4 stars because although the guide and the driver were very kind, I prefer it when the guide is with you during the entire tour, explaining the inscriptions, history, context, etc., something that in my case did not happen: the guide gave brief context, and then waited for me at a specific place for a set amount of time. If it hadn't been for my curiosity, I possibly would have missed some key points of the tour. I also feel that the historical context could have been deeper.
We had an amazin time in egypt thank you Ahmed Kassem for this great experience! Such a nice guide with lots of knowledge about egyptian history, very patient and very polite!
