Amazing trip, too much to cover, exquisite sites and much History that is really overwelming for me as an archaeoligist ! I i couldnt have done it properly without my lovely, kind, and patient tour guide JOHN who is so much fun to be with..thank you John for bearing my loads of questions and my side explanations 😆. An overall satisfying and time travelling experience!

We booked a whistle-stop tour of Luxor through Osama. The communication was very good. On the morning of our trip we were met at our hotel by our guide John and our driver who stayed with us for the day.

John was an absolutely fantastic guide. He had a fantastic knowledge of Luxor and Egyptian history in general. He was happy to answer any questions and was very engaged with us throughout the tour. Furthermore, his English was really, really good (we heard other guides throughout the day delivering tours in quite broken English).

What was also pleasantly surprising was the level of service. The car was really nice and snacks and drinks were provided. All the tickets had been pre-purchased so there was no queuing. The tour also included a nice meal at lunchtime (to save time in the car a boat direct to the restaurant on the East bank had already been pre-arranged).

All in all the tour was really good and John was really impressive.

Outstanding! We spent 3 days with George. We were impressed with his knowledge, thoroughness and friendliness! He went above and beyond to arrange any special travel needs. We would highly recommend the company - and ask for George to be your guide.

We went on the tour with our guide Tamar and it was amazing! We were able to see all important cultural sites and had a very nice lunch on a rooftop with typical Egyptian food and a Nile view. Tamar is a very knowledgeable guide, he pointed out many details and interesting facts and even gave us tips for our further journey. Everything went smoothly from pick-up to drop-off and we had enough time to explore every place. We were provided with water during tour and Tamar made all our requests possible. We would highly recommend this tour if you want to see everything in one day in a comfortable and fun way. Definitely start early in the morning, as the sites are not crowded and it is less hot.

Amazing experience. We really enjoy our tour. The valley of the kings visit was extraordinary. Thanks Journey to Egypt for this tour.

We had a great time visiting the Valley of the kings, Karnak and Luxor temple with Tamer. He speaks perfect English. He showed us around, avoided us going into unnecessary areas (so easily done if you don’t know the sites) and we took the time we wanted. He shared with us lots of information and at our pace. We highly recommend Tamer and Journey to Egypt tours.

My entire experience in Luxor, start to finish, was exceptional and I have Journey to Egypt to thank for that. They came highly recommended by a friend, and now I completely understand why. Osama Rashad was extremely easy to communicate with and incredibly responsive. More importantly, Journey to Egypt was so flexible and receptive to any special requests or interests I mentioned in the course of my working with them. My tour guide, Tamer, was remarkably knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the subject matter as well as informed. He made all of the information—which is A LOT when you’re in Egypt—interesting and accessible. He offered the perfect ratio of guided time to free time at the sites, and excelled at tailoring each experience to my specific interests and preferences. I felt relaxed and in the very best of hands. The organization, communication, and willingness to go the extra mile for me as a client made my experience with Journey to Egypt truly superior to any tour experiences I have ever had.

First I want to say that the company was very accommodating! We booked the tour at the last minute and they found a way to make it work for us over 2 days instead of 1! For $120 USD each, the 2 of us had a private tour with a personal car and guide! This included admission tickets and lunch/water on the second day. Moreover, Safwat arranged our Hot Air Ballon Tour for Sunday morning! The operator was very thorough in their communication via phone and WhatsApp and provided easy options to pay online! As a History Teacher my standards for guides are very high and SAFWAT did not disappoint (request him)!! He was extremely knowledgeable, and taught me several things about the Temples and Egyptian Mythology that I did not know before! His English was great , and his style of explanation and storytelling was suitable for armchair historians and novices alike! We had a great time exploring the East and West banks! Highlights were Karnak, Luxor by Night and Hatshepsut’s Temple! He even added a bonus trip to Banana Island for birding and a tasty local lunch!

My experience of East and West bank tours were great. My guide Safwat Gayed was excellent. Safwat was knowledgeable and an exceptional expert. I enjoyed the valley of kings and avenue of sphinx. Safwat also took us to eat at Aladins rest. and a tour to banana island.

What a fantastic experience! We toured both sides of the Nile separately with our amazing guide Tamar (quickly into our first tour with him we knew we wanted him to be our tour guide for the rest of our time in Luxor, and to our great luck he was available). He was extremely well organized, knowledgeable, kind, friendly, and fun to be around. We cannot recommend him and Journey to Egypt highly enough and will contact him again whenever we come back to Egypt.

Journey to Egypt was also great to communicate with - we booked at the last minute, and everything went very smoothly.
