  • A really fabulous trip which is definitely worth the many hours of travelling. Egypta Travel were very good on communications leading up to the trip, and answering questions. The minibus turned up 20 minutes late however (and given it was a 04.45 pickup the lateness was annoying!) but the rest of the day more than made up for it, and to be fair, even that early, the company was responding on Whatsapp which was very reassuring. The minibus was functional and there were only 8 of us so we had space….if the bus had been full spending nearly 9 hours in it would have been a challenge. Lets just say “cosy” & if you are very tall think carefully…. The guide (Sherif) was incredibly knowledgeable and made the day super fun as well as interesting/informative. The programme was great & didnt feel rushed. Everything ran smoothly. I definitely recommend this trip - really good fun!!

    Luxor Day Trip from Hurghada: Small Group, Valley of the Kings & Lunch
  • Mohammad (aka Aladdin) was the best guide. He was knowledgeable and friendly. He struck the perfect balance between explaining things and letting you explore on your own. He also tailored the experience so everyone was able to enjoy the tour. Several times we came back from our wandering with additional questions which he had no problem answering. He was also very honest about what his favourite parts of the sites were and what was a bit overrated. I would happily go on a tour with him again. The only minus point of the trip for me was that we took the Nile boat ride as an add on and while the fresh fruit and crossing itself was great, the crocodiles on banana island was not something I wanted to see. I mistakenly assumed it would just be a separated area where they roamed around but the way they were treated for the entertainment of the tourists was just so sad. I’d much rather spend more time on the boat or at one of the sites.

    Hurghada: Luxor Tour with Valley of the Kings & Tutankhamun Tomb
  • Our tour guild Ahmed was amazing, very knowledgeable and explained everything without over loading us with information. Also plenty of time to explore by ourselves with a clear time and meeting point. Super friendly and took great photos too. Only slight downside was our drive back to our hotel. Our driver Mohamed spent a great deal of time on his phone while driving very fast without a seatbelt and lack of concentration as was focused on his phone. The roads through the desert in parts were damaged and had speed ramps which needed focus on the roads. We were quite worried at points that we would crash.
