Delve deeply into the history of luxor.
Published on Oct, 2024
We thoroughly enjoyed our private tour of luxor. We opted to see the temple of Hatshepsut and the tomb of Ramses lll. The flexibility of having a private tour allowed us to explore these incredible sites at leisure.
Ideal for those who want to delve deeply into Egyptian history without the constraints of group tour .

We decided to visited the tomb of Queen nefertiti and the tomb of Merenptah - both were breathtaking. The freedom to choose which sites to visit and how long to stay made the experience feel personal and special.
It was a good experience
Published on Sep, 2024
Despite the hot weather in Luxor, we barely noticed it because we were completely immersed in the fascinating journey through history and the incredible archaeological sites. This experience was made all the more memorable by our knowledgeable and experienced tour guide, Hassan. He provided detailed explanations of the historical background of each site, enhancing our appreciation of the rich heritage we were witnessing.
Visit of Nefertari
Published on Sep, 2024
It was such an experience that I've never experience before. I'm really inspired by those time. Special thanks to our guide who provided us the deep knowledge of this piece of art.
Felt safe and comfortable as a solo female traveler!
Published on Sep, 2024
As a solo female traveler, I felt very safe and well taken care of :) The guide was knowledgeable about the sites and started explaining already from the car (where there was AC instead of standing hours in the heat). They contacted via whatsapp the night before, and accommodated for a last minute add-in of travelers I met from my hotel. We entered 3 tombs, and purchased an additional entry for King Tut (untouched tomb, so I thought it was worth it). We started the tour at 9am and returned at 2pm.
Also note it is incredibly hot so bring an umbrella :)
