We took a half day private tour with Hassan as our guide and Raman as our driver. We were picked up from our hotel in a lovely air conditioned mini bus and then enjoyed a morning visiting Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut’s Temple amongst some other monuments. We couldn’t fault it- Hassan was an excellent tour guide, so knowledgeable and gave us a real insight into the history and Egyptian culture. And Raman was always there ready to take us in to the next sight. I would highly recommend this tour.

**Excellent Luxor Tour with Khalid and Ahmed!**
We had a fantastic full-day tour of Luxor's highlights on both the East and West Bank with Khalid as our guide and Ahmed as our driver. Both were outstanding! Khalid was incredibly knowledgeable, handling tickets smoothly and sharing fascinating details about Luxor and the incredible sights we visited. Ahmed was always punctual with the van, ensuring a seamless door-to-door service—which was especially appreciated in the intense heat.
The van was spacious, private, and blessedly air-conditioned, with the AC on full blast throughout the day. We didn’t have to walk far from the parking lot to the attractions, making the experience very comfortable. Both Khalid and Ahmed were polite and attentive, even opening and closing the van doors for us.
We aren't fans of the heat, so we asked Khalid to focus on the must-see sights, skip lunch, and avoid shop visits. He tailored the day perfectly to our requests, making the tour efficient and enjoyable despite the rising temperatures. Khalid also gave us insightful perspectives on geopolitical issues surrounding the Nile River, which we greatly appreciated as visitors from Washington, D.C.
Another highlight was Khalid’s excellent photography skills—he captured some amazing photos for us! He matched our pace perfectly, ensuring we saw the best of Luxor without lingering too long in the heat.
The only suggestion for improvement would be to offer cold bottled water, especially during hot days like ours.
Overall, Khalid and Ahmed made our day in Luxor unforgettable. We highly recommend requesting Khalid as your guide for a customized, informative, and comfortable experience. Thank you both for such a memorable day!
