Beautiful Karnak and Luxor temple - Our Luxor tour guide gave us the perfect tour in Karnak and Luxor temple. The amount of knowledge he has about the temples is really impressive and it made our visit even more special. The temples itself are amazing. We were especially impressed by the huge columns at Karnak. I would love to visit Luxor again, and would ask this Luxor tour guide again to show us around!

Excellent! Highly recommend it! - Had an amazing day at Karnak and Luxor temple! This tour is perfect thanks to the very kind guide Abdool. He was patient and let us explore at our pace.
After our tour ended we asked for restaurant recommendations. He was kind enough to spend an extra hour, to take us to an excellent Egyptian cuisine restaurant. He waited outside the restaurant for us and then even took us to an ATM after because we were low on cash. He spent an extra hour helping us out, which we are thankful for.
The tour was a good mix of information followed by free time to explore the temples and take pictures.
The car was also comfortable, clean and nice.
I Highly recommend this tour!

Visit to Karnak Temple Complex Luxor - A stimulating trip to Karnak Temple which is amazing covering 60plus acres of Luxor.
Since we last visited there has been significant clearing of nearby local housing which improves access to the site significantly
Our guide Khalid was very knowledge about the site the pylons and history. He speaks fluent English and made the trip very special

Aswan and Luxor - We are a family of 4 and spent two days in Luxor and visited Karnak, Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut's Mortuary temple and Colossi of Memnun. The sights were mind blowing and we would have spent more days in Luxor if we could. Khalid was our guide for both Aswan and Luxor and he helped us have a great experience.
