Excellent Tour & Guide - Everything went very smoothly from the moment of pick up till departure. Our Guide Hesham Hamd was excellent! Had an astonishing amount of knowledge and was willing to answer any questions we had. He also gave us time to explore the different temples ourselves. It was a well paced tour and we never felt under pressure to move onto the next temple which can be a problem with tours in Egypt. Overall a great experience and I would highly recommend this tour and tour guide to anyone who is planning to visit Luxor.

The amazing Luxor - I can't even begin to say how much it was a pleasure to work with Walid. He was an amazing tour guide--knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and shared so much about the history and culture of Egypt. We were lucky to have him and would highly recommend. He made the trip so great and memorable!

I think you can do better - For a single person this is very expensive. The food was pretty much the same each day and was mediocre at best. I had different tour guides and drivers frequently. Tips are enforced, regardless of service. Paying online is like nothing I have ever seen before with extra charges. They charge such a large fee, it is really overpriced.
