I took this tour and I had an amazing time. My train in from Cairo arrived late and made me pressed for time on my tour before I had to catch my boat. My guide Hany and driver Eslam were AMAZING getting me to the places I wanted to see. I was worried I wouldn’t have time to see the sites and they made sure to get me all the places I wanted to go, as well as being great company. I would highly recommend this tour!

As my first time traveling solo. This experience has been amazing. But Shaimaa Baheeg made it even more special. Being able to take pictures when traveling solo has been hard. She helped me take beautiful pictures of the temples. She even use her own phone to make even better pictures. I highly recommend her for any Luxor East & West visits you will do.

*Pre covid* On this tour we had Mona. We couldn't have asked for a better tour guide. She was so friendly, personable, funny and knowledgable. We literally felt like we were visiting a friend abroad and not assigned a guide. Mona was able to teach us about the history about the Temples, as well as the culture of Luxor. The trip was so well organized so we never had to worry about what to expect or if we had to rush to make anything. Generally, everything was scheduled so that you were able to visit most of the sites when it wasn't too crowded, which was great for pictures. We felt like we had enough time to explore the sites on our own and shop if we chose to after Mona talked about them and explained their history. It was honestly so unbelievable to be able to learn so much about the sites we only read about in textbooks. Thank you Egypt Gift Tours & Mona!

When our cruise landed in Luxor, our guide Mona was there to collect us. From there she took us to our hot air balloon ride and retrieved us from our landing spot. Mona took us on our tour Luxor’s east and west banks. We had so much fun in Luxor!! Mina took us to see the valley of the Kings, which is where the tombs are located. We went inside many of the tombs to see the beautiful hieroglyphics decorating the walls and ceilings. We were amazed to see that the colors were so bright and vivid. Mona explained that they’d been indoors and with nothing to disturb them, they had remained. We then toured the rest of the east bank and then had lunch. Mona took us to Karnak temple and Luxor temple. After explaining what we would be seeing and showing us some significant items, she gave us some time to explore on our own. Mona always had an umbrella with her so that she could raise it and we could find her more easily. It was a very helpful touch, since it was very busy at each place that we visited. Mona was a great guide, very knowledgeable and helpful, and a kind person. We will keep in touch with her. My advice - do these tours and ask for Mona!
