About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Safari148505573710 contributionsAmazing family holiday in Egypt!Booked a private tour for my family which covered the highlights in Cairo, Luxor and Alexandria, and it was perfect! Mike was extremely responsive and helpful during the planning phase, and provided us with tips on what to expect prior to our arrival in Cairo. During the tour, we had Mike and Mario as our guides, and the detailed explanations they provided about the history of the sights really helped us to understand and appreciate what we were seeing. The drivers were also great and ensured that our journeys to and from sights were smooth and comfortable. We are generally independent travellers, but absolutely no regrets opting for a private tour with Go Luxor Tours. They took care of all the details, gave us great food recommendations and took amazing photos for us throughout. Most importantly, they made us feel safe throughout our time in Egypt. We highly recommend them for anyone looking for a good time in Egypt! Many thanks to the team for making our holiday such a memorable one!Written February 7, 2025
- O3169LFcarolinem0 contributionsThe best way to see the sights!!Having a guide for this tour made all the difference— we had an incredible time and have told all of our friends to move Egypt up their travel bucket list. Over our 5 day guided tour were so inspired by the pyramids, temples, and cities. We got to really open our eyes to this ancient place. So much gratitude to Mike, Francis, Michael, George, and everyone who made our time one to remember!Written February 6, 2025
- O3745VEtaylore0 contributionsThe Real Trip of a Lifetime: GoLuxor Karnak and Luxor TemplesThis was the second leg of our trip after leaving Giza/Cario and this part of the trip had some of our favorite places and moments. GoLuxor gave us one of best experiences we have ever been on. From pick up to drop off, they made planning/logistics seamless and easy so we could enjoy every second without worry. We felt like we packed so much activity and sightseeing into such a short timeframe. We felt truly taken care of by the GoLuxor team and we will definitely be going back to see them in Egypt for more of their tours!Written February 6, 2025

- dirkyboy750 contributionsRelaxing bike tour: history combo with natureI was only 2 days in Luxor and I wanted to make a bike ride. Go Luxor Tours showed up in google and I booked immediately a tour (2 days in advance). Michael was very responsive and listened to my wishes. I wanted to combine some culture with some biking in the greenfields. He made it happen for me. A colleague of Michael that was going to do the bike ride with me, twisted his feet the evening before. But Michael came to replace his colleague and made it a very nice, satisfying bike tour for me. We left early in the morning on the banks of the Nile. As it was on a Friday and in January, the roads were calm. I also got to know Michael better since I booked the trip as a solo traveler. We saw the Valley of the Queens, Habu and the greenfiels of the Westbank. Michael is very knowledgeable, attentive, puts you at ease and pays attention to detail. I really recommend to book a tour with Go Luxor Tours since they are flexible and reliable. A big plus is that Michael's level English is excellent and he is familiar in working with tourists.Written January 17, 2025
- Pooja18090 contributionsSimply the best! Go Luxor Tours!This is truly the most wonderful experience we have had on holiday, I cannot recommend Go Luxor Tours and Michael enough! We have had a fabulous experience travelling all the sites of Cairo, Giza, Aswan and Luxor with Michael and the team helping and guiding us every step of the way. From initial contact with tailor making our itinerary to fit around my family's needs was perfection! They made sure we had the most amazing time, happy to help with any queries in our 6 day trip, hotel recommendations, restaurant advice, booking unique experiences like a hot air balloon rides over luxor. Francis in Cairo was brilliant! His attention to detail and natural ability to teach Egyptology to my teenage children was great. I cannot explain what a great photographer he is too, I have such amazing photos and memories due to him. Last but not least, Michael was truly fabulous, a true friend we have made in Egypt. He was punctual, met all of our needs and exceeded our expectations and treated us with such care and effection- like family. I'm so lucky to have stumbled across Go Luxor Tour and would recommend this company in a heart beat. Weather it's simple day trips, their guides are fabulous or more ideally for tailor made touring and packages they truly are the best. Do not hesitate, contact them straight away, you will not be disappointed!Written January 11, 2025
- AmitOtta0 contributionsAmazing travel experience thanks to GoLuxorWe used goluxortours for a wide range of activities and tours in Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and Abu simbel (including airport transfers and tansits). The experience was amazing - very smoothly organised, well informed guides and polite and safe drivers. They were constantly in touch updating everything in a timely manner. The entire trip for our family of 5 wouldn't have been this enjoyable and hassle free if it wasn't for Mike and his team. Big kudosWritten January 9, 2025
- Jessica C0 contributionsExcellent Private 7 Day TourI have to start by saying Mike is amazing! I’m thankful I found this company for my tour. I started researching and reaching out to multiple company’s and wasn’t liking the communication I was receiving. I came across Go Luxor in the Rick Steves Forums and Mike responded to my WhatsApp message promptly. When he read my email with requested activities I wanted to do, he is the only person that informed me one of the tombs was closed. The other companies actually added it to my quote and price. I also like that this was the only company that confirmed the boat for our Nile cruise portion. The others would only give me a “or similar” answer. Mike was clear with all activities and prices. Before and upon arrival I received messages with instruction and tips for the visit. Each night he would message me details for the next day step by step. We could not have had a better, more relaxed, easy going trip. He took all stress of visiting away. We did 3nights/2 day tour in Cairo (Steigenberger Giza Pyramid view 😍) , a day in Luxor at same brand Hotel , then boarded our 4 night Nile cruise (2 nights docked in Luxor and 2 in Aswan). He had all our guides meet us in the lobby of the hotels and ship and always walked us back to the lobby. The guides he scheduled in Cairo, Edufu & Kom Umbu were amazing and Mike himself was our guide in Luxor, Abu Simbel, and Aswan. I had already pre booked our hotels and flights but Mike took care of everything else from Airport arrival to final Airport drop off and everything in between. This included all drivers, all entry tickets, a few lunches during our all day tours, the booking of the cruise, all guides and extra stops for things I wanted to buy, carpets, essential oils and spices. I really could not have had a better organized trip with the greatest guides. This was booked as a private tour so it was only my husband and me in a private car with guide. This gave us the freedom set start times the night before, to take all the time we wanted to walk through and see the sites. There was no rush to make it to the next stop. It was great . I wanted to try Koshary and our guide in Cairo took us to a local hotspot that is known for having the best, we would also stop at cafes and have coffee or just sit and relax. There was never any pressure to rush.Written January 7, 2025
- PadThaiFamily0 contributionsA great bicycle tour in Luxor with rich discussions on EgyptBicycle Tour in Luxor : we wanted to visit the temples of Karnak and Luxor by bicycle as we always love to use bikes wherever we travel. Go Luxor Tours was referenced in the Lonely Planet Guide (French version) for bicycle visits. We were staying on the West Bank so Mike picked us up early there and we got the bikes together on the West Bank, then crossed the Nile on the public ferry with the bikes (which was already an experience). We spent the whole morning together with Mike and his company was great : not only for the quality of the historic guiding in the temples but also for the richness of the exchanges with Mike talking about Egypt: history, politics, religion, sociology, demography, covid, litterature ... We could have very open and thorough discussions on all these subjects and for us, discovering a country with our European glasses, it was very fruitful to have an Egyptian point of view. On top of all this, Mike spoke a perfect English, was super professional for the organisation of the trip and always very reactive on Whatsapp.Written January 2, 2025
- 958ClaraB0 contributionsUnforgettable Trip with Exceptional Care!Our family trip wouldn’t have been the same without Go Luxor Tours. Planning travel with a family member who uses a wheelchair can be challenging, but they made it completely stress-free and even fun! They took care of everything—an amazing Nile river cruise, flights, hotel recommendations—you name it, they nailed it. I especially want to thank Mike, who felt like an old friend from the moment we spoke. He’s so kind, empathetic, and just “gets it.” His attention to detail and genuine care made all the difference for us. This trip was unforgettable, and it’s all thanks to the amazing team. If you want a travel agency that really listens and goes the extra mile, they’re the one to call. Highly recommend!Written December 25, 2024
- C5659PAwaltern0 contributionsGreat time in LuxorI had a really nice time on a tour with Mike in Luxor this month (December 2024). I was on a compressed timeline and so I had only one full day in Luxor. Still, Mike was able to arrange an excellent itinerary on both the East and West Banks, so I got to see everything I wanted to, including Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut’s Mortuary Temple, the Colossi, and Karnak and Luxor Temples, with lunch. Mike moved at my pace, was very knowledgeable, and able to answer all my questions with ease. The driver he arranged was excellent, drove very safely (even by international standards), and was always there waiting on time. The car was brand new, comfortable and air conditioned. Mike’s got a good knowledge of the crowds and how the other tour companies operate, so I never felt like we were fighting foot traffic in the major sights and I was even able to see a couple of the popular tombs at the Valley of the Kings when they were relatively uncrowded, even though my trip fell squarely in the middle of the busy season. I can definitely recommend Mike and Go Luxor tours! (And, if your schedule allows, consider leaving “early” (7.30) like I did - I think that might’ve helped, and at a minimum you might be able to beat the worst of the heat!)Written December 19, 2024
- Curious035184226620 contributionsAn Incredible Time: Cairo and Nile Cruise Aswan to Luxor, Egypt Tour PackageHad the best of times with Go Luxor Tours! It was a wonderful and thrilling adventure, and I already miss all the fun. Mike was so caring incredibly communicative before and during the trip, and we would beat the crowds so often at each of the sites. Nader had so much information and insight to share everywhere we visited, including more details about remnants of an ancient seabed all around and the fossils embedded in the ground. This was my first visit to Egypt, and even then I feel like they guide you more in depth than usual. I was given the option to descend into the Khufu’s pyramid, but recommended a smaller one of I think queen Meritites. Am so glad for that because the little pyramid was hard enough, and was told the great one’s 10x more! Though I had to bring work on the way, it was absolutely wonderful to be on the Nile. Listening to nature, watching the sunset over the water, and pulling up to one of those plants that closes its leaves when you touch them. At Abu Simbel I also spent time photographing birds, spotted swallows and sparrows, and captured two feathered foes in a conflict. Even if Ramses II’s great battle probably didn’t happen, I witnessed one that day on top ancient walls and writings. Look up if you can at each place! As a solo female visitor the trip was made much easier, with incredible scheduling and great advice. Was very safe going about and it was an all-around enjoyable experience. I am already thinking about the next time right after coming home, they made it such a positive experience and really want to dive deeper and see more!Written November 26, 2024
- emilybG3033GN0 contributionsIncredible Cairo and Luxor Experience!Wow, our Egypt trip was made so special by Go Luxor Tours! Although we booked at the last minute, from start to finish everything went seamlessly. Upon meeting our guides, we immediately felt confident and taken care for. The pick up and drop off at our hotel was so convenient! Our guides handled everything - purchasing the tickets, navigating checkpoints, instructing us at the sites, etc. They were very trustworthy and we always felt like they were looking out for us. We started our adventure in Cairo by visiting Saqqara, Dashur, and Memphis. We had a tour of the Giza Pyramids the following day. Going inside of the pyramids was a truly epic experience! Francis was our guide and he was excellent. It is so evident that he is passionate about Ancient Egypt and loves to share about it. He is very personable and is incredibly knowledgeable! Next we headed to Luxor where we spent three days touring with Michael. Michael was extremely knowledgable and a great storyteller! We started off with King’s Valley, the Temple of Hatshepsut, and Memnon. Wow, these sites were amazing! It was so cool comparing them to what we had just seen in Cairo. The following days we saw Dashur, Luxor, Dendera, and Abydos Temples all of which were amazing in their own way. We also did a Felucca boat ride on the Nile which was incredible - truly an amazing experience sailing the Nile! One unexpected but amazing thing was both of our guides were really good about organizing us to take photos and setting up poses. They both were super creative with the photography which made it fun :) We are so grateful that we chose Go Luxor and highly recommend them!Written November 22, 2024
- relaxbirdies0 contributionsGo Luxor Made our Trip UnforgettableWithout a doubt, Go Luxor made this trip absolutely perfect. We began researching our trip over a year in advance. We got the recommendation for Go Luxor online and we wanted to similarly pay it forward. The initial process was easy - Michael is very responsive 24/7 basically and works off Whatsapp. We built a comprehensive itinerary for a private guide and driver each day. We paid by bank wire which made us very nervous initially but we researched online this was normal practice, and everything was just fine. We meticulously planned everything with Michael - he was so patient with our questions and really made us feel very comfortable with the entire plan. We had Francis in Cairo and Michael in Awsan and Luxor. We booked ourselves to really do it all - we hit all the major temples, pyramids, and tombs and did a mega tour of Egypt's history. Go Luxor made this so easy. We were picked up from the airport, and our guide was with us from our hotel pickups in the morning until our drop offs at night. We got in depth explanations of hieroglyphics, detailed history on pharoahs and temples and the ancient religions, and time to explore on our own at the sites we picked. We were provided water and snacks daily, we had a few meals buffered in throughout our trip, and we enjoyed getting to know both of our guides and trying local food they enjoyed. Michael invited us to do a few stops at local stores, one which was a perfumery in Aswan which was really interesting and we smelled perfume recipes that were thousands of years old. Through our trip we added a few tours - camel and felucca rides, as well as doing a sound/light show at Karnak. The team handled this with ease and everything went fabulous. They took great photos for us and made sure we had the opportunity to interact with locals, take the photos and videos we wanted, and guided us on the tipping/cultural points we needed to know. Each day was a blast and we had fun getting to know them and can't recommend them enough to others. We hope to make it back to Egypt again, and when we do, we know who to call.Written November 11, 2024
- evatV6459AY0 contributionsFlawless Abu Simbel overnight transfer.The communication with Go Luxor tours was easy and fun. Mike was very helpful with planning and had a lot of humour while assisting us from afar during our trip. The driver was always on time with a smile on his face, even in the early hours to take us to Abu Simbel temple. I would use Go Luxor Tours again in the future.Written November 11, 2024

We’ve just returned from a customised 6 day trip with Go Luxor Tour. This is our first trip to Egypt so wanted to see as many sights as possible in this limited amount of time.
Organising this trip from start to finish is a breeze with Michael Samir, who is super efficient with setting up itinerary, pricing and replies to any queries we have. I also like the fact we can choose our own accommodation instead of the usual cookie cutter hotel packages included with the land tours. Go Luxor Tours was also flexible with any changes we may have with the itinerary proposed or start/end times each day depending on our energy levels. They organised all transport (flights and car transfers) to and from each city, and airports, sites and made suggestions on restaurants when asked.
The guides were fantastic (Francis in Cairo and Michael at Aswan/Luxor) and very knowledgeable, imparting information at each site and answering other queries we may have on history and Egyptian culture. We travelled with our 10 year old daughter and they made the whole trip enjoyable for all of us and ensure we were comfortable throughout.
The advice on tips, shopping and security were appreciated, including an incident where the locals try to charge us extra EGP for using toilets instead of the standard amount 😬
We would happily use Go Luxor Tours again on our next trip to Egypt and have no hesitation recommending them to our friends for future trips.

I’ve just returned from a group family trip to Egypt arranged to celebrate my Son’s 50th Birthday. My wife and I live in the UK, but the rest of the family group live in Spain, so as my Son’s part of the family are in to diving it was decided that we would meet up in the Red Sea resort of Hurghada. We were also keen on seeing some of of the Ancient Egyptian sites so on looking into the possibility of incorporating a trip to Luxor I came across Go Luxor Tours. The family group of 9 are so pleased that I did and in view of their excellent service I wanted to thank them again with this review. Even though Go Luxor had good reviews, I am always wary of anything other than personal recommendations but in this instance I needn’t have worried. From my initial enquiry Mike at Go Luxor was efficient and responsive. We decided to stay two nights in Luxor and Mike fixed up our private transfers from our Hurghada hotel to Luxor, a full day trip incorporating The Tombs at the Valley of The Kings, various Temples and our subsequent return from Luxor back to Hurghada the next day. The sites were all fantastic but what made it so enjoyable and interesting was our wonderful, friendly day tour guide George, an Egyptologist who speaks excellent English. Oh! And I must mention that at short notice on the day of our travel to Luxor we asked Mike if he might be able to fix up a sunset felucca ride for all of us from our Nile side hotel that same evening. Although initially not sure he came back to us within an hour to say George our next day guide had fixed it up and at 5pm that evening he was accompanying us on our Nile ride.
A perfect excursion during our Red Sea holiday. We’ll be back to Egypt at some point and next time we’ll contact Go Luxor Tours first.

Go Luxor Tours was recommended to me on a frequent traveler group. I sent a contact email and received a prompt reply from Mike. After a couple of emails to tailor my experience to what we wanted, we accepted the proposal and booked several days worth of tours in Cairo, Luxor and a private transfer to Hurghada in addition to all the airport transfers. As the day approached Mike contacted me to confirm the details and was in contact when we landed at Cairo at close to 3AM. Our tour guide Mario and driver Paul were waiting for us and took us to our hotel. The next tow days we visited the Egyptian Museum, a bazaar, Giza pyramids and Saqqara pyramid. Mario was knowledgeable and fun to spend the days with.
In Luxor, Mike picked us up and we went straight to the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple and an evening boat ride on the Nile. The following day we toured Karnak and Luxor Temples with Mike then were driven in a private vehicle to a few days in Hurghada.
The airport transfers were perfect and less expensive than coordinating with the hotel(s).
Overall, I would highly recommend them for not only the tours, but all logistics while being in Egypt. As an American that has travelled to several countries, Egypt, by far, would have been the most overwhelming to try and navigate alone.

Mike was absolutely amazing both with his responsiveness and ability to accommodate special requests. He helped us put together a fantastic itinerary including some great editions like the tomb of Nefertari ( Must do, worth the money ). We did both the west bank and East Bank through Luxor Tours and the guide assigned to us, Ireney, was witty, patient and very very knowledgeable. She's also a fantastic photographer and really helped with negotations at a couple of places we shopped at.
Mike also helped us book the Balloon ride ( phenomenal experience- a must do) and was kind enough to help with a bunch of things like arranging an RTPCR test for our daughter and helping with restaurant recommendations.
We loved the experience and will definitely book with them again.

The time and travels through upper Egypt were truly amazing. Cruising the Nile River to learn about Luxor and other remarkable locations was worth the money. Our travel guide, Michael Samir provided a great experience by sharing his knowledge and historical elements of the area. Michael’s guidance greatly added to an enjoyable and entertaining experience. I’m already looking forward to returning in the near future.

We had a really good day visiting Karnak, Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple & Memnon. We only gave Go Luxor 1 day’s notice but communication was easy and straightforward and all included and excluded costs were made very clear. Our guide Ereeny was really knowledgeable and with our driver helped shaped the plan on the day to avoid crowds and minimise time in the sun.

We just returned from our Egypt tour a couple of weeks ago and cannot stop talking about how amazing it was.
We were fortunate to have very professional Egyptologists. I especially want to thank Michael Samir for being the best tour guide ever.
Michael is an excellent tour guide, knowledgeable, courteous, accommodating.
His local knowledge is astounding and was able to answer all our questions. We definitely gained an understanding of the history and culture of Egypt.
We learned and saw so many amazing things in the period we toured with him. Felt very safe during the entire tour.
He was great to travel with and I highly recommend him to anyone considering travelling to Egypt.
Everyday was an awesome, true adventure.!
Thank you!

Mike was a great host and guide on our visit to Luxor. Since we started planing our trip he was helpful and willing to accommodate the itinerary to fit best our interest. Always on time since the pick up at the airport until we left Egypt.
Very knowledgeable which made our visits to every site more interesting.
We all appreciated his work and dedication it really made our experience at Luxor a great one.

I have booked private tours with Go Luxor upon reading about them on the TA Egypt Forums. I normally plan my itinerary for all trips but there were too many sites in Egypt that I had no clue what to prioritize for a 4 days stay in Luxor. Thankfully, I got in contact with Mike directly through their Facebook page and told him what we would like to visit. We worked out an itinerary together and his recommendations were also super helpful in deciding what to see. He was our guide for 4 days, including a one day trip to Aswan and airport transfer in Luxor. I believe the prices are fair or even below other tour operators. Having a guide and a car at our disposal was certainly super handy.
As for Mike, our guide, he sure knows his Egyptian history. Before Luxor, we had another egyptologist guide in Cairo and many things that we were told by both of them matched. So I really believe that Mike's knowledge is true and we certainly learned a lot about Egypt and the pharaoh reigns! I also appreciated that he did not try to sell us anything that we were not interested in, on the contrary he was providing feedback on things that are worth it and things that are not (like seeing certain tombs in the Valley of the Kings, for example). I would book Go Luxor again, for sure.

Focussing on the West Bank for our custom tour, George took us in an adventure back in time. A full 8 hour day guiding us through the history of:
Valley Of The Kings
Hatshepsut Temple
Valley Of The Queens
Deir El-Medina
Habu Temple
Throughout the day, George provided some background of the Luxor region as we drove to the sites of the West Bank. At each site he provided valuable information about the history for the sites we would see.
Our guide george is personable and knowledgeable. We enjoyed his expertise and booked for an East Bank tour the next day.

Yes, it did. And the guide was superb. We took many tours and this company and Michael Samir, our guide, was phenomenal.
