Review of a 2-day Hurghada to Luxor tour with a sunrise balloon ride, temples, tombs, felucca cruise, hotel, meals, and private guide.

“Today was the second day of our tour in Luxor with the Magic Guide (Aladin). We visited the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, and the Colossi of Memnon, and the whole experience was truly fascinating. Our guide explained every detail and shared the full history behind each site and the different tombs. He highlighted the most impactful ones to visit, which made the experience even more meaningful and enriching. We also had the chance to see how local artisans create beautiful objects from natural stones, which was incredibly interesting and unique to witness. A truly impressive day — full of culture, history, and amazing insights. Highly recommended!”

Review of a two-day Cairo camping trip through Egypt’s Black and White Deserts, with 4x4 rides, stars, meals, and practical advice.

“We are giving this tour 3 star overall. The pick up was on time and Amir was very nice to communicate with us prior to pick up. Our tour guide did not talk to us almost at all during the whole trip, only said one-two sentences at each stop about where we arrived and what we see. We would appreciate having a bit more friendly atmosphere and maybe hear more interesting facts about the places we visited, we thought the tour guide was a very nice guy but maybe he had a bad week. But he including a tour guide from another group took a good care of us in…”

Review of a two-day Bahariya Oasis, Black Desert, Crystal Mountain, and White Desert camping trip from Cairo, with practical tips and value advice.

“Fantastic experience with a very friendly team of guides. The white and black desert locations were incredible and truly like a different world. We also got to see some wonderful spots at the oasis including the springs and salt lake. Getting to see a rural, off the beaten track, side of Egypt was a treat. We are very grateful to our guide for their hospitality, banter and for sharing their extensive knowledge.”

Second day of the tour we had a different driver, and we were really desperate to get an Egyptian SIM card from Vodafone, we asked our guide to stop several times, but they didn’t, so she suggested the driver will get a sim for us, we needed data, we gave him 400 Pounds because the guid said she didn’t know how much it would cost, after he got the sim and activated, he said the cost was…”

See Luxor Temple and Karnak, float over the Nile at sunrise, and stay overnight on this practical two-day trip from Hurghada.

“The first day I visited Luxor Temple with Mahmoud Hassaan. He ensured I was comfortable throughout the whole visit and began by asking what I already knew, then thoughtfully built on that knowledge. This made the tour both engaging and personalized. He also checked in regularly to make sure I was following along and remembering the key points, which I really appreciated. My second day I went on the hot air balloon, definitely recommend, and afterwards I visited Karnak Temple with Martina Tanyous. She is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. She explained everything clearly and thoroughly, taking her time to ensure I fully understood the history and significance of the site.…”

“We were so disappointed. We were not picked up where we were told, we finally were put on a bus to join our bus in Luxor 3 hours later. The tour we bought was supposed to be in a car and we were with 40 other people. Our guide Omar was wonderful. Other than that I don’t have anything positive to say. Too bad.”
