Our tour guide, Ayado, was very polite and very good! Although the explanations were in English, he spoke slowly and carefully, making it easy to understand, and always checked to see if there were any problems. When I told him, "I'm thirsty, so I want to buy some water," Ayado bought me some every time!
In the Valley of the Kings, we also visited the tombs of Tutankhamun, Seti I, and Ramses V/VI, which require additional tickets in addition to the three tombs included in the entrance fee. We purchased additional tickets ourselves when we entered.
We also added the Valley of the Queens and the Mortuary Temple of Ramses VI, and spent a whole day touring the area!
While we were touring the Mortuary Temple of Ramses VI, I asked him, "I want to go here too," and he readily agreed and took me there right away!
The restaurant he took us to for lunch was also very delicious.
I think the additional fee was around 4000 GBP (although my memory is hazy...).
You pay this in cash to the guide on the day, so be careful if you are arranging one!
The guide was very good, but the driver was a bit iffy. He would leave without waiting in the parking lot, so you would have to wait a while, and when you finally arrived, the air conditioning wasn't working and it was extremely hot inside the car...Other than that, I was very satisfied!
They stopped at various shops along the way, but you can generally bargain, so be careful not to buy at the asking price!

We sas seti 1 and Ramses 5 and 6 in addition to the 3 tombs you can choose and our favourite was Ramses 5 and 6 . Seti 1 is also very beautiful. But moe expensive. Ahmed our guide helped contextualise the tombs we saw and helped us spot details we would have otherwise not seen. He suggested two tombs in the valley of the nobles both of which were an interesting insight into the daily lives of ordinary people. We especially enjoyed the tomb of sennofer which is a steep climb down but has a beautiful decoration of grapes and domestic life.

A fascinating tour of the West Bank with our excellent guide, Ahmed Kassem, who was very friendly and knowledgeable, and also acted as our guide for the separate tour of the East Bank. Ahmed really helped us to appreciate the history of the Luxur, including the Valley of the Kings. We paid extra to view the tomb of Seti, which was a real highlight. The whole trip was well organised and communication with EMO tours was very easy. I would certainly recommend.

Emo Tours has helped me on more than five occasions during my stay in Egypt. My two tours in Luxor (East and West Bank on separate days) were my best experiences with Emo.
While I have found Eno Tours staff to be very polite, friendly, and flexible in general, the specific guide for Luxor - Ayman - is noteworthy. Not only he is very knowledgeable, his passion for Egyptian history is infectious. Further, he was very generous with providing context and anecdotes. He made the Luxor tours very enjoyable.

I traveled solo to the whole of Egypt. Some days and placed I booked tour or private car with driver through Emo Tours. This time i had Samar (Sam) as my guide and Islam as my driver for the Luxor West Bank. I had a wonderful time. Sam was super knowledgeable and understanding. I learned so much and I would highly recommend you book your guide with Sam as the information given is key to exploring and understanding The west bank sites. Very clean car with air conditioning which was highly needed.

Informative tour, our guide was very helpful to make our tour as smooth and seamless as he could. Lunch was absolutely delicious and definitely much welcome after our sweaty morning in the tombs!
