          Fantastic private tour of Luxor
          Our tour guide Hassan went above and beyond to show us the sights of Luxor! We had agreed to see the valley of the Kings, Queens, and temple of Hatshepsut. On the morning of the tour we expressed an interest in also seeing the temple of Karnak and Hassan was happy to add this to the tour (for a reasonable additional cost). He also showed us an alabaster workshop, and traditional papyrus making shop. He took us to a local restaurant for lunch which was divine (roast chicken, koftas, rice, pickles, vegetables, spinach, and all washed down with fresh fruit juice). Hassan was friendly, very knowledgeable, and shared facts and nuggets of information throughout, helping us to acquire tickets and avoid hawkers. We would definitely recommend him, and if we return to Luxor would happily book him as a guide again.

          Amazing tour !
          Hassan was the best guide we had in Egypt, he knows everything and is also a very kind person. If you come to Luxor and want a guide to better understand the place do not hesitate it's worth it without a doubt. We visited the Karnak and Louxor temples, the valley of the kings, Hatchepsout temple, Medinet Habu and the colossis of Memnun. Thank you Hassan!

          Kindest guide and a beautiful day
          I learned so much and the guide was phenomenal. My best day in Egypt by far. From tombs and learning all about temples and the beautiful culture to getting gorgeous handmade alabaster, I HIGHLY recommend this tour.

          Well paced tour + good guide = Amazing experience
          It was an amazing experience, the sites were spectacular and the historical artifacts were breath-taking. The 2 days are well paced, giving enough time for self exploration. Our guide was Hassan, a friendly chap who took the time to explain the history at each site in detail. My kids really enjoyed his engaging commentary(he gave little scarbs for answering his quizzes). Overall a great experience!!

          Our tour guide Ragab and driver Ramadan did a great job of bringing us around and sharing interesting bits of history, matched our family's laid back energy and was flexible with rearranging the order of the tour locations when we got tired. It was fun and well facilitated

          Balloon Ride and Luxor Tour
          The entire tour was very well executed! From the balloon ride to the visit to the Valley of King's it was very enjoyable and our tour guide Garap (I hope I am spelling that right) was a wealth of information on the sites! Would definitely recommend!

          West Bank Luxor private tour.
          I was part of a shared private tour of the West Bank organised at the Jolie Ville Hotel via Alhassany Travel. We had a wonderful driver, Mosa, along with Abdalla Fouad, our Egyptologist guide. Mosa, a very kind and courteous driver, collected us on time and assisted in driving us to all the locations safely. He was on hand to pick us up at each location and drive us back to the hotel at the end of the tour. Abdalla is very informative and explained each location and place of interest with insight and detailed knowledge. I learnt many interesting details along the way. Abdalla courteously seemlessly guided us to each tomb location. He clearly explained how to purchase additional tomb tickets and directed us to each site in a timely manner. The whole tour was very well organised, informative and enjoyable, due to Abdalla’s vast knowledge and experience. This tour is highly recommended as are Abdalla and Mosa.

          Unforgettable beautiful Egypt
          Hassan has proven an excellent guide who picked us up on time in a comfortable minibus and with a very good driver . He kept us engaged with his knowledge and happy disposition throughout our amazing visit. I loved his enthusiasm to pass on his country s extraordinary history and he had made me want to come back to visit more of Egypt !!! The choice of the lunch place was lovely too and we greatly enjoyed the food . 6 of us all agreed Hassan was a great guide and we already recommended him to a colleague going to Luxor soon Marie Dega

        We had a fabulous tour with our guide Sabar - he was so knowledgable, passionate, and eager to teach us about this fascinating civilisation, and a genuinely nice person. We especially appreciated how Sabar ensured we were well hydrated and always found shady spots to explain the various sites. Our airport pickup was also smooth and our driver supporting Sabar was punctual and very professional. Setting up the tour directly with Luxor Travels was easy and Ragab was very quick to respond on email and WhatsApp. Would highly recommend this tour company to others coming to Luxor. Thank you!

        I did the 2 day tour. It was fairly relaxed and we were not in any rush. I think if I'd tried to squeeze both the west and east sides of luxor in a day it would have felt rather rushed.

        The guide, Khalid Eltayeb, was really knowledgeable. I think it was definitely better to do the sites with a guide as there aren't many signs or notice boards. You got a lot more out of it when there is someone who can explain exactly what you are looking at.

        Visit Luxor to see the historical egypt, far away from the Sphinx and Pyramids. Valley of kings, Temple of Hadschepsut, Colosses of Memnon and a ballontrip into the sunrise. These highlights are "must do's" if you are travelling to egypt.

        We arranged tours of both east and west sides of the Nile in Luxor through Luxor Travels. This is normally a two-day tour but we managed it all in one long day by staying two nights in a Luxor hotel instead of a single night. It also allowed us to have a 7:00am pickup at Luxor hotels which allowed us to see the tombs in the Valley of the Kings before all the tour buses arrived from the coast. The tombs are a fantastic sight – the highlight of all our days in Egypt - and highly recommend that they be seen in the early morning when not crowded. The regular entry ticket allows visits to 3 of the tombs. We added Seti I and Ramses VI tombs. These two tombs are spectacular, and because of the additional entry cost, very few others competing for viewing with you. We did the other sites on the west bank in the early afternoon, and then the temples of Karnak and Luxor on the east bank late afternoon and early evening. The Temple of Luxor is open late into the evening, and a tour after sunset when the structures are lit with floodlights is very nice.
        Ragab, the owner of Luxor Tours, was very helpful in planning our itinerary, making suggestions on not only where to visit, but also his advice on timing and order. We were especially pleased by his flexibility. We had to rebook to a different month two days prior to planned arrival. No problem. And we sent him a message late in evening the night before the Luxor part of our tour to add several venues and several hours to our schedule the next day. Again, no problem.
        Our guide was Khalid for the full 12 hours on both banks. We never felt rushed. With the extra hours, it was a very relaxed pace with plenty of time for Khalid to do deep into history and details. He did an outstanding job of educating us on what we were seeing, and why it was important. Excellent English, very extensive knowledge from many years of experience, and a strong passion for what he does. We had selected Luxor Travels primarily due to the very positive experiences with his guides that others had written on TripAdvisor. We do a lot of traveling and have had many good guides across the years. Khalid is easily among the best we have ever had the fortune to spend a day with.
        Luxor and the Valley of Kings are not to be missed. Ragab and Khalid made our tour there an unforgettable memory.
