We booked private guided tours with Ash who is super informative and helpful!! He organised our trip to Aswan, Abu Simbel, Edfu, Konombo and Luxor. He provided fantastic guides, drivers and car for the whole duration while we were there. Ash and his team were super flexible, took into consideration what our priorities were while guiding us on the must-do's in these towns. Ash and his team were very responsive on WhatsApp messages and helped us with recommendations whenever we asked. The guides were great at showing us the sights, telling us the history behind the tombs and temples. We finally met Ash in Luxor, he and his team took every effort to make our trip memorable, enjoyable and stress-free. I would highly recommend Ash to anyone visiting Egypt (have already recommended him to a few friends planning an Egypt vacation).
This is going to be long, lol. We did a cruise, and they sold out of their Safaga excursions, so we had to find a tour ourselves. I reached out to a couple of companies through TA before finding Luxor Private Tours - and immediately, this company rose to the top as the best fit for us. First, I must say that communication on WhatsApp was Incredible. Ash (the owner of Luxor Private Tours) was very friendly and helpful. From the moment I reached out, they were highly professional and willing to structure the tour to meet our needs. The communication was on another level, not only the first contact but all the way through our experience. Everything was exactly as they stated: booking, paying, picking up, sightseeing, and dropping off. This was an important area of our vacation, and we wanted to see everything, and they exceeded our expectations. Ash greeted us, and our driver (Abdu) picked us up inside the gate area where only tour buses were allowed. So we didn't have to do anything other than walk off the ship, see the sign with our name on it, and hop in the car. We had a private air-conditioned vehicle with lots of room. From Safaga to the Valley of the Kings is 3 hours, but we made it there in a little over 2 hours by car - our driver was GREAT. We picked up Ayman (our tour guide) along the way. Ayman was incredibly knowledgeable, spoke excellent English, and had a real passion for explaining the places we were experiencing. He was super friendly, and many people told us throughout the day that we had the best tour guide in Safaga. I honestly believed it by the end of the day. It was all the little details he added that made it so fun. Our day consisted of going to the Valley of the Kings, the Tomb of King Tutankhamun (Tut), the Tomb of Ramses III, the Tomb of Merenptah, and other tombs. Then we drove to see the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari, one of my favorite parts of the day, and then we went to the Valley of the Queens, and the tomb of Nefertari was probably the best tomb of the day. It was so well preserved. Then we drove to Colossi of Memnon for some quick photos. Then we had a fantastic lunch on the Nile. They went above and beyond for lunch. I thought lunch was for ten people, but Ash smiled and said, This is all for you, my friend. We had a feast of seafood, Egyptian food, beer, and wine, and it was incredible as we sailed down the Nile drinking, laughing, and having a excellent time. As we sailed, we saw Luxor Temple and other fantastic architecture. After lunch, we went to the Temple of Karnak, where we saw the Obelisk of Queen Hatshepsut, the Temple of Ramesses III, the Obelisk of Thutmose I, and the Avenue of Sphinxes. It was truly unique. I don't write a lot of reviews, but I wanted to write this one because I feel that Ash went above and beyond for us, and it was a vacation of a lifetime. Thank you so much!!!
From the majestic Pyramids to the enchanting streets of Cairo, every moment was perfectly orchestrated by Luxor Private Tours.

Visitamos la orilla oeste del Nilo, templos de Hatshepsut y Medinet Habut, Valles de los Reyes y de las Reinas y colosos de Memmon. El guÃa conocÃa muy bien la historia de Egipto y de los templos y las tumbas visitadas, y respondió a todas las dudas. Transporte rápido y cómodo desde Luxor y entre visitas. Totalmente recomendable.
