The tour guide Hamed was excellent very informative, and gave us a lot of information, he looked after the group and guided us through everything. The 2 drivers who were with us for the day were also lovely, sorry I have forgotten their names.

A really well-organized tour, with an enthusiastic guide who gave some really interesting explanations. At Karnak, we were shown and told how the ceilings and columns were built and how the obelisks were erected. At the Valley of the Kings, we were able to use go-karts to get from the entrance to the various tombs and were given plenty of time to look at the various inscriptions. Finally, at Deir el-Bahari, the guide also offered to take some photos of us and explained in detail the history behind the construction of the temple and the rise of the queen, so there was a lot of interesting information. I also really appreciated the various drinks and snacks offered during the tour, and the restaurant where we had lunch served good quality food. The bus rides were quite comfortable, and the driver drove well. The only reason I'm not giving five stars is the somewhat forced offer of a boat trip on the Nile (the description said it would be free, but instead we were involved in a 30-minute trip at an additional cost of €10).

See Luxor's East and West Banks on a full-day trip from Hurghada, with round-trip AC transfers and hotel pickup handled for you all day.

Discover ancient Luxor with a professional Egyptologist guide, with entry to Karnak, Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple and lunch all included.

Explore the Valley of the Kings, entering three royal tombs with vivid hieroglyphs and painted scenes as your guide unpacks stories of pharaohs.

Stand among Karnak's vast forest of columns, visit Queen Hatshepsut's cliffside temple, and pause at the Colossi of Memnon for photos.

If you select the upgrade, add entry to the Tomb of Ramses V and VI; you can also opt for a paid Nile boat crossing instead of the bus.

What a day! Went with my partner and honestly, we’re still chatting about it 2 days later. Pick-up was EARLY (not gonna lie, 3am is a struggle), but the air-con bus made up for it. Our guide, Rania, was hilarious and knew so much random stuff about the temples. Karnak blew my mind, so much to see, and the hieroglyphs are wild up close. Valley of the Kings was HOT (like, bring two water bottles hot). I felt a bit rushed at Hatshepsut, but still worth it. Boat ride on the Nile was peaceful, except for a couple of kids splashing us – made it memorable though! Lunch was okay, not amazing, but honestly who cares with scenery like that. Only downside: kinda crowded at the tombs, but I guess it’s always like that. Would totally do it again, maybe in winter next time.

Family trip! Took my parents (60s) and my 10-year-old son. Everyone loved it, surprisingly. Our guide, Rasha, was funny and patient, especially with my son’s million questions. Karnak was huge—got lost twice but it’s actually part of the charm. Valley of Kings was sooo crowded, but seeing the tomb paintings up close is unforgettable. Boat ride was my dad’s fave; he even tried steering (bad idea, but hilarious). Only minus: heat was INTENSE. Take lots of water and snacks (my kid got cranky). Still, a day we’ll remember.

Unreal experience! I came with two friends and we were all blown away. Karnak is so much bigger than I thought, and our guide, Khaled, had all these cool stories. The Nile ride after lunch was the best—super chill, and the breeze was a lifesaver. It’s a loooong day tho, so nap on the bus if u can. Also, you can’t take pics in some tombs—found out the hard way! Would 100% recommend.

Did the tour as a couple and had a wonderful time overall. Early pick-up but at least they were right on time. The temples were impressive and our guide, Sara, was adorable. Food was good, simple but satisfying. Would've loved a little more time to wander on our own. The Nile cruise was my highlight, and I even got to try some local snacks (yum). Very hot, so light clothes a must!

Went solo since my friends bailed last min. Didn't regret it tho — the guide (Omar) made me feel v welcome. Karnak was EPIC, but bring hat/sunscreen, trust me. Long bus ride from Hurghada, so I napped most of it. The Nile boat bit was peaceful, and the vendors at the dock added to the local vibe (fun to browse!). Lunch: tasty. And the ancient stuff? Next-level. Such a v cool day.
