Very good - It was a very, very exciting tour. Unfortunately, we arrived very late in Luxor because we had traveled from Hurghada. The advisor from Sherif Tours was extremely helpful. Our tour was actually supposed to start at 2 p.m. She was kind enough to organize a guide from 3 p.m. That was probably fate. Our guide was extremely good. Really, really good. Our hotel was on the West Bank. So we were picked up by a driver, Abanoub, on a motorbike. He took us to the felucca and we took a boat across the Nile. When we arrived on the other side, we were picked up by the driver and our guide, Mo Salah, and drove straight to Karnak Temple. From there we went to eat. It was really delicious. At our request, there was fish with vegetables and salad, babaganoush, rice and cocktail. Then we went to Luxor Temple. From there we crossed the Nile again to our hotel. There was one surprise after another. We are happy.

Very good visit - The visit was very well organized from start to finish. We visited the Karnak temple and the Luxor temple. Salah our guide took his time to explain things to us in detail. An excellent first experience with “Sherif tours”.

Excellent tour - The transfer from the hotel went smoothly despite booking late the day before. The tour was very well organized and very informative. The guide told us a lot about the country and its people during the trip. The guide spoke perfect German. The individual stops were quite short and everything was very timed. However, time was still taken to answer questions and respond to the participants' wishes. The group consisted of 12 people. The ("standard") entrance fees on site cost 800 pounds per person. The bus ride (around 5 hours each) was very long and tiring. We were picked up from the hotel at 4:30 a.m. We returned to the hotel at around 10 p.m. All in all, the tour was still worth it. Highly recommended.

Outstanding - The pick-up and drop-off at the hotel worked wonderfully! If you have a tour guide named Salah, you've hit the jackpot! During the entire trip there and back, he provided us with information and stories about Egyptian history, the mentality of the people and the cultural peculiarities! We noticed that he has a broad knowledge of Egyptian history and that he is involved with heart and soul. The excursion destinations were really worth seeing and perfectly chosen. The Nile boat trip is not optional (as it says in the description, you should know that). The drivers took us safely and well from place to place. On the bus, we could drink as much water as we wanted for FREE at any time - that was great! We saw: the city of Luxor, the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut and the Karnak Temple. Lunch was included, plentiful and organized as a buffet! 100% recommendation from us!

Memorable experience! - Beautiful experience! With this tour we managed to discover wonderful pieces of history! Our guide Mo has a deep knowledge of the history and places and managed to make the experience extremely interesting, great Egyptologist! we give 5 stars because you can't get more! Kind, helpful and in addition to helping us a lot he also pampered us with drinks and snacks! Special praise also goes to our driver, if I'm not mistaken his name is Basem, he was also very good. We went on an excursion with our little 3 year old and everyone was extremely helpful and kind to her too, she was so happy at the end of the day! Thanks again and see you next time

Magnificent - An absolutely wonderful experience that we will remember always. Luxor is a history fans dream come true. The tour guide was so knowledgeable and we saw so much on the trip. We'd definitely recommend you pay the optional extra to go inside the tombs, they're magnificent. It's a very long day - we were picked up from our hotel at 4.45am and dropped back at 9.30pm, with a 5 hour drive in each direction (with a loo break half way) but it was so worth it. We will remember Luxor always. It's a trip that really shouldn't be missed

AMAZING - AMAZING!! Rasha, our guide was just exceptional, I highly recommend her. Thanks to her, we learned a lot about Egyptian history, she masters her subject to perfection. She was so patient despite the heat being very hard to bear so another THANK YOU to her. The temple of Karnak and the valley of the kings are to be seen. You just have to be aware that the temperature (in May) is very high, 44 degrees with a sometimes stifling blazing sun so be prepared and aware that it will be a tiring day. I can only recommend (SHERIF TOURS) for the following reasons: perfect support (security, transport and guide), unmissable excursion (beauty of the place, efficiency/optimization of the visit). THANK YOU to your team for your efforts, this excursion was a success for us

Not be missed - Excursion not to be missed!!! Everything was perfect from start to finish. The drivers were punctual, smiling and driving smoothly (pleasant transport, the 5 hours pass quickly with a break to cut a bit). Regarding our guide: just exceptional!! Rasha speaks French very well, she is passionate and explains the history of this civilization very well! She is smiling, good advice is very pleasant. Then whether it is the temple of Karnak, Valley of the Kings, etc etc everything is just incredible: seeing so much history: you feel like you are “very small”! Without hesitation I recommend this excursion which went perfectly. Thanks again !

A beautiful tour - I would like to thank Mo very much, our Italian guide in Luxor, who kindly accompanied us on this beautiful tour of the Karnak temple, the colossi of Memnon, the valley of the kings and the temple of Hatshepsut. Seeing these incredible ancient works is truly exciting, and doing it with our friend Mo really enriched the experience, thanks to all the interesting information he told us. This was our first experience with (SHERIF TOURS), and we are very satisfied, so much so that we have already booked another tour for tomorrow. The bus was very punctual, we were richly refreshed both during the journeys and in the restaurant (the only flaw: the drinks had to be paid separately. We would have preferred to pay a few euros more and have a drink included). However it was a very interesting experience that I would recommend to everyone. thank you very much Giuseppe! Salvatore, Francesco and Beatrice
