This was by far one of the best tours we have taken while in Cairo
Our guide, Amin Haggag has vast knowledge of history and pointed out other treasures we weren't expecting to see during our journey
Extremely personable with a good sense of humor

I have booked numerous tours through Viator and this was the first one I had to reach out to the tour guide to confirm my tour. I sent a messages to the tour company 24 hours prior to our trip since I had not heard from them. The response I received was that I would receive my confirmation later in the day. This was a bit stressful since it entails booking flights from Cairo to Luxor and then back to Cairo, not knowing our flight itinerary was concerning. I eventually received my flight confirmation. Once we arrived to Luxor the tour guide had my name in small print, it was not easy to spot who was my tour guide as I had to approach the tour guides up close to find my tour guide. We went to all of the sites the tour entails but our tour guide would only spend 10-15 minutes with us and then it was free time. At one of the sites the tour guide didn’t bother to get off the car and basically said you have 5 minutes to take pictures - I saw other guides get off and take pictures of their group. This was disappointing as we had to ask random people to take pictures of us.
And of course, the guide indicated we had extra time and offered 2 options which entailed more money. We ended up doing one of them although it felt like it was a rip off but I figured a review ends up doing more damage than the extra money made.
Would I recommend this tour again ? I would definitely recommend it but not with this tour guide. Keep in mind , the tour guide does not like to use WhatsApp which is unusual since all of the tours I have done I always communicate through WhatsApp and they respond within the hour. My recommendation to the tour guide is to put himself in the shoes of those who are taking the tour and offer every possible detail , provide excellent customer service and stop with the hidden or extra tour fees.
For the money I paid it didn’t feel like I got my monies worth. Having more personality would’ve changed our experience.

Trip was good. I would advise planning this early in your trip so that in case there are problems with the flight, you can figure it out. They worked with us around canceled flights one day and then delayed flights the next. It was frustrating with the many plan changes, but they still made it work and we saw everything described. I would also recommend staying in Luxor for a couple days instead of trying to fit everything in. This was a great experience though. Next time I will be staying in Luxor for a few days and Aswan as well.

This tour was very well organized, we didn't have to worry about anything. Our flights were booked with no problems, we were picked up on time. Our tour guide Ameen was the cherry on top. He was very knowledgeable about everything. He was funny and made everything (there is a lot to see in 1 day) exciting and funny. Him and his driver made this tour absolutely awesome. I would recommend this tour to everyone. I am so glad I booked this tour. Me and my wife will never forget this experience. Thank you Go tours!

Valley of Kings and Luxor Temples were really amazing experience. We were hopeless that we would miss Luxor trip due to other tours services unable to book due to lack of seats on flights. However this tour company not only booked it before 12 hours from the flight but also arranged the trip when it was weekend evening with very little hassle. Next great part was that we got Khaled as our tour guide who is also an experienced archaeologist. He had a great demeanor and created a perfect tour from receiving at airport at 9am and dropping us at 4pm. I wish we had more time in Luxor which we will do next opportunity for Egypt in future InshaAllah(God willing).

We had such an amazing day in Luxor! The entire day was very well planned out. Pick up from the hotel to the airport went very smoothly. We were greeted by our guide Khalad at the airport upon our arrival in Luxor. He was incredibly knowledgeable with a perfect amount of information without being overwhelming. We had enough time at all of the locations and did not feel rushed. It was a buffet lunch with a wide variety of choices. Can not recommend this tour highly enough! Our best tour in Egypt!

A must for a trip to Egypt. You get to see so much of different parts of Egypt without having to worry about setting up everything. And having a tour guide makes life much easier, we had Khaled and he was very helpful and passionate about Egyptian history.
