Luxor is a must see while in Egypt!!! Amazing history! - So glad we did this trip! Was on the fence at first due to the higher cost but with limited time to try to see everything, this trip was well worth it. Had issues with the plane ticket booking as there wasn't a return flight the original day we planned so had to move it and then flight both ways were delayed but no fault of the tour guide or tour company and they worked with us to make it all work. Such amazing history! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about the local history. He was a little difficult to follow / understand sometimes as there was just so much information being thrown at us at once but learned alot. It was a long exhausting day but glad we got see so much in a day. Lunch was great as well, top notch restaurant overlooking the Nile river.

Once in a lifetime experience - I heartily recommend this tour. I was a first time visitor to Egypt so I needed to rely on local knowledge. I was based in Cairo but seeing the historical sites in and around Luxor was a must for me personally. This tour had everything I needed - I was taken from my hotel to the airport in Cairo, my flight details were provided to me by the tour organiser Mahmoud and check in was smooth (please note, you fly without escort - you will be met in Luxor by another tour representative). In Luxor I was met by another tour representative. Luxor airport is small, you will find the representative very easily. From there I was driven to meet my tour guide Achmed. This guy was the genuine article - his English was better than mine, his historical knowledge was extensive and he was enthusiastic about the sites we visited. We experienced Karnak, Luxor Temple, the Temple of Hapshepsut, the Valley of the King and much more, a once in a lifetime experience. We also had a delicious lunch looking over the Nile. You will be brought to various souvenir outlets - the staff are very good sales people (and very courteous) and you may feel pressure to buy. You are under no obligation to do so. In short, I was dropped back to Luxor airport in good time and was back in Cairo by 9PM where I was met once more and dropped back to my hotel. Be sensible with regard to heat. It was scorching hot, especially in the Valley of the Kings. Wear sun cream and drink plenty of water (your tour guide will provide all the water you need). 5 stars, this is a complete package, you just need to turn up and enjoy.
