I had been to Luxor several times before and each time been amazed and captivated by the history. Having a week in Hurghada made me think that it would be great to go back and see Luxor again. I did not really want the 4.00-5.00 hotel pick up of a regular excursion, so I decided to book a private tour. Driver picked me up on time at 7.00 and I was surprised that he was Luxor based so had left home at 02.00! He was very friendly and offered me drinks. The car could do with a bit of an upgrade but it was ok. Arrived in Luxor for 11.00 and met up with the guide. His English was good and we got straight into Valley of the Kings and he recommended the best 3 tombs to see that were included on the ticket. Then to Hatshepsut Temple a short ride away and again quick entry and enough time to look around. Then over the new bridge to Karnak Temple - really shortening the travel time between the 2 sides of the Nile. Guide was again very informative. Before I knew it, it was 16.00 and time to set off back with a back up driver. The first one still came all the way back though - but it is good he was not driving all the way 4 times in one day! Could really do without the obligatory stop at the alabaster show room and workshop, and i would have preferred the extra 30 minutes for example to see the Colossi of Memnon. But all up a highly recommended tour. Long day and tiring, but well worth it.

Best thing about this was our very knowledgeable and courteous tour guide, Sam. He was very knowledgeable and knew everything about the sites we visited and Cairo. We are so glad we had a private tour rather than trying to find our own way around, which would have been very difficult and stressful. As the sites are very widely dispersed on the roads in the city are horrendous. There was no queuing or anything, so there was plenty of time. There were a few niggles which I'll mention. The hotel, the Ramses Hilton, was certainly 5 star in the lobby, but the 2 rooms we tried were very tired indeed, and more like 3 or 4 star quality, though very spacious and with great views of the nile. The Saqqara restaurant we went to for lunch wasn't the best: toilets were dirty, food wasn't great, and the owner pressured for tips, which I didn't appreciate. The car we had was ok, but the frequent high bumps in the road meant that the floor of the car frequently scraped on the tarmac, which you could feel with your feet, so perhaps an SUV would have been better. Finally, pick was scheduled for 6am but changed to 4am, which seemed unnecessarily early, meaning we were more tired than we might otherwise have been. Having said all that, these were fairly minor nighles, and it did not take away from what was an all round fantastic 2 days with an excellent guide.

The confirmation that I received on paying for this tour said “Private Tour” which we found out it was not, as we were told a different pick up place to the other 14 people apparently on the same tour ???? After saying that, after some insistence on my part, Viator did arrange a refund. If you don’t want a private tour and want to pay a lot of money to share your day trip, this is the one for you.

This is a “mandatory to do trip”😀 We booked the trip also thtough MTS travel agency. The price is 53 eur/adult and 35 eur/child and included: transfer from the hotel to marina bay and transfer by boat to the submarine. We stayed under the water 45 minutes and we dived 25 m under the water. The view is amazing, lot of fish and of course we had a diver who fed the fish. For me is a unic experience, probably was the first and the last time when I dived 25 m under water in a submarine. It’ s safe and the pressure is normal and we felt very comfortable. Do this, it’s almost magic.

good place to make private vacation , and you should to visit lavaander bazar in El Mamsha St, Sinbad Hotel , Next To Submarines , Hurghada, Egypt.

The trip wtih Anna was great! We recomand the this submarine ride. Its 2 hours in total, with a 45 min submarine ride. Great times

Lovely trip. Seeing the fish was amazing. Staff is fun. I would recommend this excursion. Just the boat ride to the submarine was worth it.

Such a great experience,you should try this if are in Hurghada. The sea and the fish are amazing ❤️ The team also is amazing

Had a lovely time. Saw lots of different kinds of fish under water. Would recommend it to anyone and any age. Thanks to the crew for welcoming me and thanks to Asma for being very informative with the whole experience.

Very good trip. Kids loved it and saw so many different types of fish. The divers were great too. Very well organised and good value for money. Booked by Walid Ahmed who was very helpful and informative.

This Tour has been all that My Dad and I expected and more!! From our pick up at the Hotel to our checkin at the airport, the flight all went smoothly. When we arrived in Cairo "Sam" our Absolutely Amazingly Knowledgeable Guide called my name out as soon as we stepped out of the airport. I asked him how he knew it was me and he said that he looked me up on Instagram!! I thought how wonderfully clever that was! The Tour has been so fantastic because we didn't have to think about anything as everything was already laid out for us. Sam is a walking information booth and also a Fabulous photographer! Our 5 star Hotel was wonderful (Fantastic Breakfast). I will most certainly use Reflections Tour Company upon my return and will share this information with all of my friends!! Sam deserves 100 Stars!!! He is The Best!!

We went on the submarine , it was great, we had a lot of fun , it was an experience of a lifetime, I can’t wait to do it again soon, also thanks for the great staff, they did an excellent job, especially mr Mohamed el-sherbiny, he was more than welcoming and helpful
