About the operator
- georgepriestley00Great couple days in Luxor with KarimWe originally booked the river Felucca cruise with Karim and enjoyed it so much that we decided to book more! We booked the sunrise balloon trip and a half day West Bank tour (Valley of the Kings, Valley of the Queens, Colossi of Memnon, Temple of Hatshepsut) through him as well. Karim is a very informative and entertaining guide and we recommend everyone to go with him! All the best, George, Matt, James & Tommi
- Dreamer42426400Best Luxor Tour GuideKarin is awesome! We booked multiple trips - transportation to/from the airport, tours of the east and west banks and more. Very informative, made it super easy for us and since it was a private tour, we changed the day to suit our needs. He’s the best. Book!!
- Y2587PRalainf00A VIP Adventure with Abdul of Egypt Crown Tours - Hassle Free and Very Knowledgeable Guide/LocalMy cousin and I had the pleasure of crossing paths with Abdul, the proprietor of Egypt Crown Tours, thanks to a recommendation from Shashti, a jewelry merchant situated near Sofitel Hotel. We openly expressed our concerns to Shashti, sharing our fervent desire for a guide who could ensure a trouble-free and scam-resistant experience, especially considering the unfortunate encounter we, like many others, had faced around the Cairo Pyramids. Our encounter with Abdul turned out to be a truly gratifying one. He demonstrated unwavering transparency when it came to pricing, his wealth of experience, and the commitment of time required. In the beginning, we decided to dip our toes by booking a single excursion. Opting for the Luxor tour, which encompassed both the east and west banks, proved to be a fantastic choice. From the very first day, we were taken aback by the sheer breadth of knowledge he eagerly shared. Adding to the exceptional experience, he arranged for a modern sedan, complemented by a skilled chauffeur named Hussein, for our transportation needs. Abdul skillfully directed us to the significant sites on the west bank, considering our time constraints, and exhibited remarkable attention to detail on the east bank. Following the tours, we took the initiative to inquire whether he had connections for activities such as the hot air balloon ride, a visit to Banana Island, and tours in Aswan. With unwavering confidence, we entrusted Abdul with coordinating all these activities for us. The investment we made in his services proved to be genuinely worthwhile. A single unfulfilled desire remained – a Cairo tour in his offerings. If such an opportunity were to arise, he would undoubtedly become our comprehensive solution for exploring the array of cities we intend to introduce to our family. Abdul ensured that our experience was elevated to VIP status. From in-car refreshments to exclusive privileges during the hot air balloon journey – wherein we enjoyed our own private compartment, accommodating a minimum of four people, in contrast to the usual arrangement – he ensured our experience was unparalleled. This VIP approach extended to our Aswan expedition and boat excursion, which included an exclusive meal experience in the Nubian village. Additionally, Abdul boasts an extensive network in Luxor. He is acquainted with various individuals, including other guides, members of the police and military, workers, and vendors. It's quite commendable that he possesses the ability to maintain a calm atmosphere amidst the vendors and tactfully minimize interactions with other locals attempting to make sales. Our journey encompassed an impressive array of destinations, including Ramses IV, Tutankhamun, Ramses IX, Ramses III, the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, and Medinet Habu (or Habu Temple). Further experiences included a hot air balloon voyage over Karnak and Luxor, a leisurely sailboat escapade to Banana Island, and an invigorating swim in the Nile River. In Aswan, we explored notable sites such as The High Dam, Philae Temple (Isis Temple), the Unfinished Obelisk, and even caught a glimpse of the Nubian Village in Aswan. Abdul's expertise particularly shines in the regions of Luxor and Aswan, where he specializes.
- Passenger4509705119300Great experienceKarim provided an amazing tour. We read the warnings on other posts about bad cars and un-requested shopping stops. He has a great, clean, well air conditioned car and is extremely knowledgeable about the history and people. He also has a great sense of humour. I would certainly do other trips with him. He is flexible and can go to whichever of the temples you pick and make recommendations. Thank-you Karim
- AnkeB36300Relaxing sunset cruiseKaree took good care of us during the sunset cruise. Unfortunately, as nature has her own ways there was no wind to sail. He however made a plan and took us down the river with another boat. We were served the local tea drink and could watch the sunset fro.the boat's roof.
- 847andresz00Amazing experienceWow, this tour with the felucca was amazing, we even got some extra time after the trip to eat dinner right next to the river. Would highly recommend this.
- G M00Adding to the memories!Kareem is charismatic, was attentive to our needs and helped make our trip memorable. His English conversation skills are excellent, with a sense of humor to boot! As a history lover I am hapoy to hear details associated with the sites...well done!

- FernandoB279900Nice experience.A very nice experience. The guide is very kind and patience with his costumers. And by the way, the best price I’ve seen around the city.
- gypsyseoul00Best guide everEgypt Crown Tours organized almost all of my tours while I was in Egypt. From Abu Simbel and Aswan all the way to Luxor. Karim was so knowledgable and cool, it made the experience a lot of fun and very educational. We were treated like family and am so grateful to be taken care of while visiting Egypt. Karim is laid-back and also works hard to go the extra mile to make sure you're having a great time while he takes care of logistics. He also has a great sense of humor and is just all around a kind and wonderful human being. Highly recommend :)
- Qtpy00700WonderfulI had such a wonderful tour! My guide was very knowledgeable and provided so much history of the Egyptian culture. It was such a great experience. I highly recommend this company.

It was suppose to be a surprise for our recent engagement. Sadly it turned out to be a poor experience. Karim agreed to pick us up at Habu Temple instead of our Hotel (distance wise theres not much of a difference) He was on time and picked us up. That happened by a very shabby shared minibus, he hailed over. As we are easygoing that did not bother us. Then we got shipped over by a private taxiboat to the eastbank where we met Said our felucca captain. The ride was in fact no sailing because of almost no wind. Of course that did not make a bad experience because thats neither Saids nor Karims fault. Actually we had a good time on the boat with nice conversation, great sunset and good Hibiscus Tea, and thats why we gave 2 stars. When we came back to the marina I wanted to give Said a 10% tip because we felt he earned it. As I only had 200EGP I asked him whether he can change. He said yes but only into 100s but he will pay our taxiboat back to the west bank. As the transport back to the hotel was included I told him that. From that point forward he seemed pissed and obviously our 10%tip was not enough. He neither said good bye nor did he look at us again. When we arrived at the westbank Karim was nowhere to be found and we waited for the transfer back to our hotel for 15 mins. After that we had enough and took a taxi. The boat ride itself was great the people involved not so much. So no I can not confirm the positive experiences and I can not with good conscience recommend that company.

Went on a sunset private felucca tour with my friend while visiting Luxor. We did not pay for private, but due to the low tourist volume we lucked out. Had wonderful hibiscus tea made for us on the boat and even had the opportunity to learn how to steer and "drive" the felucca. The company was great and allowed us extra time on the Nile and we had perfect weather with a nice breeze. The captain of the boat was nice and provided us information on other tour options the do including dinners and lunches or full/ half day excursions. My only complaint is that he continued to ask when we might be interested in doing those, I could've also been more direct and said no thank you. Tourism is low in Egypt and locals are in need of money and jobs, but it would've been better to only give us the information once and then let it be. Would still recommend them to friends and will also pass along the other activities they do as well.

Captain Mossa was very welcoming and friendly . Sunset over the Nile is a truly mesmerising experience.i cannot recommend this highly enough . The boat, Humpty Dumpty, was perfect. The only reason for the 4/5 was we had no wind so he couldn’t sail . Weather is not something that can be held against the wonderful Mossa but would have made it perfect !

Today my boyfriend and I went to a Felucca Trip on the Nile and it could not be better. Kareem picked us on time and brought us to the Felucca where we met the best captains we could ever had, Ali and Musra. What a nice boys! So young, but so client focused. From tbe beginning to the end they made sure we were enjoying it, served us tea and water. We laughed together and talked about life. They made us to feel at home! It was one of the best tours we had so far in Egypt. I would recommend them to all of you who are looking for a sunset felucca experience in Luxor. You will meet and be guided by honest, kind and very hard working people. I hope you enjoy it as we did. Thank you Ali! You and you colleague made my day! Thank you Kareem for organizing thia for us.

What an amazing experience, being out on the Nile leading up to the sunset ! The 2-hour tour is absolutely perfect as you are provided a private boat with the kindest and friendliest guides ever. The guides were so kind, they even catered to my wanting to see animals by stopping at banana island (not typically part of the tour!). Couldn’t find a better tour or staff or company in all of Egypt, especially if you are short on time and want the best value for money!

Karim picked us up at our hotel and brought us to the dock. Mandu and Hassim were so much fun!!! We had a great time with them on “Hunky Dory” (boat). We listened to great Egyptian music as we sailed around for couple hours. We stopped at Banana Island for a quick tour (plants/animals), and brought bananas back on boat to eat. After sun set, we arrived back for hibiscus tea at Karim’s herb/spice store before returning to our hotel. Truly a wonderful late afternoon activity for our arrival day! Thank you all for a great time!

My family and I took this tour and couldn't stop taking pictures of the amazing sunset views. It was also a full moon so opposite of the sun setting the moon came into full view and displayed an absolute spectacular image of beauty! We got into town late, Kareem was so patient and understanding. He took us to meet Captain Mohammed after giving us a brief tour of the city. Captain Mohammed and his brother took great care of us and even found a horse carriage tour for us. Our horse carriage driver allowed me to drive and took us to a spice shop, where we met other great people, who taught us about our health and offered the right spices for our ailments. We passed on the other shops because we were tired.
I would like to say thanks to our driver (Kareem), our Felucca guide (Captain Mohammed), and our horse carriage driver (don't how to spell his name and don't want to mess it up) and horse (Nadia)
