Day trip Luxor and snorkeling trip on the Red Sea - We booked 2 excursions at Egyptra via Getyourguide. The 1st was a trip to Luxor where we visited the Karnak temple and the Valley of the Kings. The trip there took about 4 hours but definitely worth it. Our guide was a cheerful guy who could tell us a lot about Egyptian antiquity. The boat trip on the Nile was a bit disappointing and the lunch was also mediocre. But we were mainly concerned with the temples and the Valley of the Kings and that was very impressive. The 2nd trip was a snorkeling trip including dolphin spotting and so on. We've seen that one. Very nice. The snorkeling spots were beautiful and the lunch on board was also excellent. Those who wanted could still ride on a banana pulled by a speedboat. And all that for less than 20 euros. Had a fantastic day.

Great tour to Luxor with awesome Guide - We bokked a private Tour to Luxor from Hurghada via GetYourGuide. The hotel pick up at 5:00 a.m. was excellent. Aly, our wonderful driver, picked us up in time and drove us to Luxor. Aly offered us drinks (water) and breakfast snacks on the way. At Karnak Temple we met our Tourguide for the day, Mohamed Baraka, who guided us through the sights all day. Mohamed is a great guide, who explained everything perfectly and was open for every question. On every single stop, he explained first and guided us, and then he gave us enough time to explore the places on our own, which was great. After our own exploration he always ask us, if there are any questions, and if yes, he answered them all very fundly. After Karnak Temple we did a boat ride at Nile (which had to be payed extra, but was worth it) to our lunch stop. Lunch was good, but drinks there had to be payed extra. After that, it was Hatschepsut Temple, Valley of The Kings and Memonon, where Mohamed gave us enough time again. It was a great tour which I would highly recommend!!! Guide and driver were AWESOME, and made a great day for us!! Do the tour with them if you can (Mohamad does the tour in German and English). :)

Excellent - Great experience. Tour guide is a relative of King Tut. The Crocodile Resturant is great. Nile cruise is additional cost but so much fun

99 out of 100 point (100 is just not possible 😉) - You know the difference between herded in a big group following an erected umbrella and a nice cozy group moving independently within the visited sights in Luxor? We were the well treated small group, where also special questions of prepared people were considered by our knowledged guide(s) - as native german speaking, we took the „german“ tour, because that old and amazing, but partly also complexe history told, our not too bad english abilities may not have let us understand all or in clear. In german, it did. Driver(s) and our german speaking history or guide were with our small group full time from Hurghada and back and there was also a certain flexibility and where not hindered by all sort of constraints on the way, our driver was faster to the big buses (well, imagine the distance, the lot of tourists and thus a crowded bus caravanne to and between the usual visited sights, there is not much individual time left, of course). So we had indeed a 100% treatment. If the usual and additional Felucca trip on the Nile is good or bad and expesive or not, is very individual. But for those not experienced with such rivers, it gives a quiet and additional time to get explained the importance of the Nile and see some about - the typical sail boats, farming - famous Hotels of famous crime stories from the Nile. The just as usual commercial visit of a shop seem a waste of time in the otherwise tight schedule - but there was no hard selling (that would be to the advantage of the guides) and at least informative on how these artefacts are made. In best german, by the way. We greatly enjoyed a long (we were back over an hour later than anticipatet - missed dinner, but it shows time was used for the customers without hectic to shorten the Luxor sights) but interesting trip to Luxor. Premature organization started perfectly with an Wh..app group information, lucked a bit of information in between, but probably was a busy time for Egyptra, the upper Nile valley having had its >20 year hail and thunder storm, flooding scorpions out of their caves and causing a one day interruption and delay of our and those tours …. But all worked out perfectly indeed.

Nice small group trip - Good air-conditioned mini bus for an 8 people small group pick up from our hotel. There was a little problem with the trip being canceled and altered the day before departure but we managed to get it rebooked. The local tour guide Gogo was fantastic. Not only she was knowledgeable and very organised, but also she was very thoughtful to try to look after everyone along the way with snacks, drinks, communications, personal advice about tips and how to deal with local merchants etc. It saved me a lot of money and hassle. It is strongly recommended such a nice tour guide who has no experience traveling to Egypt or similar places. The only issue not perfect, if there has to be something, might be the ride to Luxor was a bit exhausting which made us especially my little daughter very sick and vomiting in the morning due to the driving and road conditions.

Must do Karnak and Valley of the Kings! - Lets start with the highlight! Loved Karnak temple, and Valley of the kings. Laila was a great guide and made it easier for us to appreciate what we were looking at. I also really enjoyed getting there, we were taken along a road where we could see the daily life around the farm fields. The food at the restaurant was very good! The negatives: felt pushed to buy the Nile River boat ride to the restaurant. I liked it and it was in my to do list but maybe they should offer it as an option. They took us to a shop so we can buy stuff but I would have preferred to use that time at Karnak temple or Valley of the kings that felt rushed. Last was the driving. On the way back one of the drivers was driving like a maniac! Some of the fellow passengers were very scared and asked him to lower the speed. He did for a while but it didn’t last long. Tip: have small bills for toilet stops, and tips.

Horrendous - Hi getting back to my hotel was excellent. The guide who met us for the tour,the only thing he wanted to have from our experience was money. We were taken to the museum great then left yo show ourselves round with a huge language barrier. Pay for food again which we thought was already payed for. Taken to a food and beverage establishment that he must frequently use which was horrendous. Then before valley of the King's another establishment he was very friendly with to buy items which none of us wanted.
