My guide and driver were so friendly and informative. I had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend this tour.
It was a great experience and very complete. The tour guide, SALWA, was very knowledgeable and kind. She made plenty of passionate explanations. I also visited nice places to see artisanal essential oils and stone crafting as they were made in ancient times and you are not pressured to buy. All in all a wonderful tour, very professional. The driver was very kind too and car was clean.
We booked a sightseeing tour that turned out to be a very disappointing experience. We did visit the places listed in the itinerary and saw a lot, but in addition to that the guide added three extra, unplanned stops along the way, all clearly set up to pressure us into buying things. In fact, almost every sightseeing point was paired with a stop at some shop selling low-quality souvenirs that were not mentioned in the itinerary. Viator itinerary focused on historical sites, so these shopping stops were an unpleasant surprise and a waste of time. The guide’s behaviour towards other people was unacceptable - she was aggressive, shouting and creating a very uncomfortable atmosphere. We felt stressed, uncertain and frankly embarrassed to be part of it. At some point, we mentioned that we wanted to buy a specific type of necklace with a cartouche. At the end of the tour, the guide suddenly took a necklace out of her pocket, said she had already paid for it, and handed it to our friend. The whole situation felt very uncomfortable and non-transparent. She refused to give us a receipt. Later we found out we had been charged about three times the actual value. This was not a misunderstanding – it was a deliberate rip-off. To make things even worse, there was a very awkward situation at the end regarding tips. We gave the guide a tip, clearly stating it was for both her and the driver. She immediately objected, saying she would not share it because she deserved more and that drivers always get less. When we suggested they split it and even proposed an amount, she started arguing. In the end, we had to give a separate tip directly to the driver.
Amazing tour with an amazing tour guide.. Jasmina made our visit more incredible, her knowledge and expertise were outstanding... A wonderful and charming person.
Such a great tour with Salwa. We saw so many sites, learned so much about Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, and so much more! Would highly recommend this tour - well worth it :)
I had a wonderful trip today with guide Salwa and driver Syaid. I reccommend you ask to go to the grave of Seti I or some of the other graves where you have to pay extra (not King Tuts grave as it was a bit disappointing compared to the others). Seti I was even more amazing than some of the other tombs I saw among them Ramses IV. The Valley of the Queens is not worth a visit since the main attraction - tomb of queen Nefertari - is closed at the moment. Our trip began at 8 am and ended at 4.30 pm. It is a long trip and I have walked 18.000 steps today, so a good physique is recommended.
The best tour we booked for private tour in Luxor .Salwa was very nice, friendly and very knowledgable. She gave us full explanations about thombs at the temples and describe the story of the images.We would highly recommend this tour.I would give it higher than 5 stars!!!!!⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️Karnak Temple,Valley of the Kings, Luxor temple and Queen Hatshepsut temple.....I really learned a lot of knowledge....Thank you Mama Salwa for giving us the best full day of trip to luxor ♥️♥️♥️ Thank you also to our driver, gentle man clean and new van!!!!
Good experience with Salwa, me and my friend enjoy the time in temples, my favorite is the temple hatshepsut
We had a great tour organized by Mrs. Salwa from Emo Tours. She is patient and explains everything well. A fantastic experience.
Our guide Sam was excellent, he was an Egyptologist had a great knowledge of all the sites, provided insights into the the history and spoke clearly without rushing us. We highly enjoyed the tour which was on time and extremely professional
