Great guide great time

Susan was a wonderful guide - she was able to answer all our questions and was very friendly. Highly recommend!

The most mind-blowing trip down ancient Egypt

JugRaj_G, Apr 2024

This trip was a gem to find - it had every key bit of Luxor's incredibly rich history! We're so glad we did it. The Valley of the Kings and Hapshetsut were mind-blowing. The temples too were just incredible. Our driver Khaled was right on time at Luxor Airport and had a sign with our name on it which we really appreciated. The vehicle was modern and air conditioned. He was very accomodating and kept us feeling safe and comfortable. We were lucky to have him as our driver!

The Tour company in Luxor very Professional Specially Driver Abod, very nice person also good driver. Thank you so much for taking of us.🙏🏻

Hamid was the most friendly and genuine guide

Pieter_L, Apr 2024

Hamid was the most friendly and genuine guide. We have booked several extra days with him to explore Luxor. We don’t recommend staying more than 3 days in Luxor :). You might visit some shops where you can probably haggle down 4x the price.

Vibushana_E, Apr 2024

This tour was the highlight of my visit to Egypt. We started the tour early, and were the first ones at the Luxor temple which in itself was a special experience. Special shoutout to Ahmed Omar - he was my guide through this tour and was exceptional in briefing about all the places we visited. He was a pretty great photographer too! Mohammed, the driver was always there with a smile at every pickup and drop. Absolutely loved every bit of my time at the Luxor and Karnak temples, the Valley of the Kings, the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut and the Colossi of Memnon! Would one hundred percent recommend taking this tour with Omar and Mohammed!

Amazing Day in Luxor

Caitlin_B, Apr 2024

All of it! So much knowledge from our tour guide Ahmed, he answered all our questions and he was so friendly! Adam our driver was also great and a very good driver! 10/10! :)

Excellent Guide is essential for the tours in Egypt

Jinsu_C, Apr 2024

Very kind, informative and helpful local guide Angie. Just after experiencing awful tour (even though made through Viator) in Cairo, this Luxor day tour was really good. Every things went well. We were never dissatisfied.

Fantastic day tour from Luxor

Danielle_V, Mar 2024

Absolutely incredible!! If you book this tour be sure to ask for Mustafa (in English or French!) He was the best guide we had in our time in Egypt. His knowledge of the temples and ability to read hieroglyphics to us directly off the temple walls made the day something we will never forget. We learned so much about ancient and modern Egyptian culture and never felt pressure to make any additional trips or purchases.

Great day!

dwyerst, Mar 2024

We had a great time on this tour. Full day saw all the temples in Luxor and the Valley of the Kings. Our guide was very knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions. Took a quick boat trip over the Nile and had a nice local buffet lunch. Only thing to understand is that you are going to make 3 shopping stops on the tour. We stopped at an essential oil place, a jewelry place and an alabaster shop. They were interesting but there is pressure to buy stuff! Would have been nice to know this prior to the tour. All in all a great day. Would definitely recommend

Great experience

Jeff_G, Mar 2024

Our tour guide, Mustafa, and our driver, Ali, were awesome. Mustafa was super friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He was very patient with us, answered all our questions, and took tons of great pictures for us. Ali drove safely and was always there to pick us up on time between stops. We would definitely recommend both of them!

Luxor Tour!

Aquasia_D, Mar 2024

We had a great time and learned so much during this tour! We were a group of 4 and were able to ride in a nice Air conditioned car which was a plus!!!! Highly recommend!!! Luxor has so much to offer and there is so much to see & learn!

Comfortable tour

Imaizumi_R, Mar 2024

Thank you Ahmed Omar and Khaled. I had a very enjoyable trip thanks to you guys. The tour was safe, came with a delicious lunch and was overall very comfortable.

Great Luxor day your

Zachary_B, Mar 2024

A great day exploring the west and east bank of Luxor - we learnt so much from our guide, he was very informative and knows a lot about the history of the area. Our driver was safe and polite as well - would recommend!

Ask for Samir by name he's incredible.

Josue_P, Mar 2024

Had one of the most amazing tour guides a person can ask for. Reason I say this is because I took a tour with another tour guide and it was nowhere near as thorough and educational and informative as it was with Samir. He truly has a gift and a passion for what he does for a living and it is very evident. I learned more about Egypt in two days than I did in school for 2 semesters. If and when I come back to Luxor I will make sure to ask for him by name. Make sure you tip your tour guides and drivers these guys are amazing. Cheers to the next one

Highly recommend! Angie is the best!

Sarah_S, Mar 2024

We would highly recommend this tour! Angie of Emo Tours was a joy - very friendly, informative and integrated our feedback of wanting to shop for high quality, local products (jewelry, papyrus, alabaster). Our driver was great too, even had local recommendations. We had a slightly different itinerary based on where our hotel was located, and were one of the first groups at Luxor Temple, which was incredible to see with barely any people. Yummy lunch too. All in all, we had a wonderful day!

Perfect day tour of Luxor ancient sights

Patrik_L, Mar 2024

A perfect day visiting the sights of Luxor. Adam took us safely around to the sights, nice, friendly, and professional. We would very much recommend!

Great tour with Emo Tours

Ben_T, Feb 2024

Great tour with Shereem and Abd Rabo. Transport, guiding and all attractions were perfect, lunch was really good too. Recommended!

Recommend!

JiHee_S, Feb 2024

Our guide was Mustafa, and we had a fantastic time. He was a veteran at being a tour guide and everything went smoothly. He was very accommodating, gave us much interesting information on Egypt, and was very humorous. He also took great photos for us. :) A tour guide can really make or break your experience, and we really had a great time with him. His explanations of the tour sites really helped make our experience special. Shukran!

A day I'll never forget!
