Greatest Luxor tour 👌 - When planning our Luxor adventure, we chose to book a tour with Eternal Tours, and it was an exceptional choice. Our guide, Mohsin, an Egyptologist, captivated us from the very beginning with his extensive knowledge and compelling narrative. His ability to seamlessly weave historical facts and cultural insights throughout the tour kept us enthralled and eager to learn more. Mohsin's professionalism and respect for our needs, combined with the excellent driving skills of Mustafa, contributed to a truly comfortable and enjoyable experience. We had the opportunity to visit a remarkable array of ancient sites, each one brought to life by Mohsin's expert guidance. I have no hesitation in highly recommending the services of Eternal Tours and their exceptional guide, Mohsin, to anyone seeking an unforgettable journey through Luxor's rich heritage.

Westbank visit in Luxor - "Our tour with Khaled was absolutely amazing! He was an incredibly knowledgeable guide who answered all of our questions and gave us plenty of time to explore on our own (which is a must for getting those perfect photos). Our driver was also excellent - he drove safely and kept the car immaculately clean. I would highly recommend this tour company to anyone visiting Egypt."

A great experience - "We had a wonderful day with Mohsen, who took us to all the major sights on the West Bank, including the less-visited Valley of the Nobles and Deir el-Medina. Mohsen was exceptionally knowledgeable, kind, and courteous, with a keen eye for knowing when to provide guidance and when to let us explore on our own. It was a truly memorable experience, and we've already booked the same company for our upcoming trip to Dendera. Highly recommended."

Full day tour Luxor (West Bank) - Our guide, Said, from the Eternal company, was exceptionally knowledgeable, providing us with a wealth of information about everything we saw throughout the day. He carefully balanced his explanations, allowing ample time for us to take photos and absorb the sights at our own pace, without ever feeling rushed.
On a practical note, Said arrived on time, and the vehicle was driven impeccably by Ahmed, who ensured the car was meticulously clean. The combination of Said's exceptional expertise and the team's attention to detail made for an unforgettable day that left a lasting impression on my mind.

Highly Recommend - We had a fantastic day with our guide, Abdo, as he took us to explore the major sights on the West Bank, including the Valley of the Nobles and Deir el-Medina, which many tourists often overlook. Abdo's expertise, kindness, and exceptional knowledge made the experience truly remarkable.
Aside from his deep understanding of the historical significance, Abdo had a gift for knowing when to provide in-depth explanations and when to allow us the freedom to take in the sights for ourselves. This balanced approach ensured we had a wonderful time, and we have already booked the same company for our upcoming trip to Dendera.

Fantastic - Mohsen provided us with a fantastic tour, demonstrating exceptional knowledge of the history and skillfully explaining the significance of the sites we visited, including the Valley of Kings, Valley of Queens, Workers Village, and Ramses III Temple. The driver accompanying Mohsen delivered an outstanding driving experience, treating us with the utmost care and professionalism, akin to a luxury limousine service.
The historical sites themselves were incredibly impressive, but what truly made this tour outstanding was Mohsen's expertise and positive attitude. His polite and helpful demeanor, coupled with his excellent explanations and good sense of humor, have led me to strongly recommend this tour to everyone.
