Mansour Luxor tour guide

The agency seemed a bit spartan in its organisation, but was immediately ready to respond. The tour then turned out to be excellent. Our guide, Mansour, was very professional. A very kind and helpful person. I recommend it! Ps. I contacted them directly via email.

Khaled is fantastic!

Khaled was wonderful, we both highly recommend him. He is extremely knowledgeable, shared a lot of information I never found in a guidebook. He gave us time, we got stunning photos and really had the best experience. So much so that we booked several whole-day tours with him. You couldn’t do better than to go with Khaled.

Perfect visit to the west bank!

We really loves the west bank of Luxor, with the beautiful Valley of the Kings and the temple of Hatshepsut. Our Luxor tour guide was amazing and told us so many interesting things about ancient history and more recent history. We enjoyed every second.

Amazing tour! 満足!さいこう!

Amazing Tour! 最高なおもてなし! This is the best tour we ever got in Luxor! The company reply you very quickly, they are very organised and on time. Especially our tour guide Karam was excellent! Very caring, kind and very knowledgeable about Egypt history. Karam was taking care of us, giving us some resting time and he waited us while we were shopping. We went in family and all of three we really enjoyed our trip with Karam. If you want to visit the West Bank of Luxor, you should definitely take this tour. 日本人にもおすすめ! プライベートツアーで家族3人でのツアーでした。出発時間も自由でした。私達が出発時間を変更しために、船ではなくミニバンでしたが快適でした。 ガイドのMr. カラムさんはエジプトの歴史を通して私達にルクソールツアーの喜びを頂いた!私が一番見たかったツタンカーメンの墓の中まで入れ満足です。 とてもクレアーなのはチケットを現場で並んで買うこと。現地の値段でカラムさんが一緒に並んでくれ、エジプト語で料金を伝え正規料金で買えた。割り込みを注意し、守ってくれる。 WhatsApp の応答がスムーズである。 エジプトの場合チップをあげるべきであると確信した。あげて欲しいそれだけ1日私達の希望に応えてくれます。 チップの理想 プライベートの場合:ドライバに10~15USdollars でガイドさんは20~30USdollars. もちろん気持ちでもっと渡すと喜びます。

Khaled is a fantastic guide

We had a great guiding tour with Khaled whom was very knowledgeable but also honest and transparent. He had vast knowledge of many topics and also didn’t hesitate to answer our questions outside the direct tour topics (Karnak & Luxor). But he also told us there’s a lot we still don’t know and there are still many mysteries and it’s impossible to claim 100% veracity for the things we do know. In any case it was fascinating and we learned a lot! Highly recommended.

A superlative tour of an incredible historical site!

Khalid gave us an awesome experience on this tour. I really appreciated how we started on time, and we received expert guidance on what to see and (very impressively) what to omit. Khalid is a wonderful tour guide. I really appreciate exploring Egypt with him. And my wife and I would never go to anyone else.
