Amazing Day in Luxor!
Pioneer08590818440, September 2026
A very comfortable VIP car came to pick us up directly in front of our hotel, and Ahmed was our driver. He was extremely helpful, attentive, and always tried to stop as close as possible to the entrances, which made the whole day much more comfortable for us. Thanks to Ahmed’s good timing and smooth driving, we arrived in Luxor early enough to avoid the queues and the biggest crowds. He really did his best to make the journey comfortable and enjoyable. We had cold drinks available throughout the whole day, Wi-Fi in the car, and even a movie about Egypt to watch during the journey. Our guide, Said, was very kind, knowledgeable, and well-prepared. We always discussed with him how much time we wanted to spend at each place, so we could explore everything comfortably and at our own pace. At the same time, the day never felt slow or rushed, because there was no unnecessary waiting or wasted time. Everything was very well organized. Said explained everything in great detail, answered all our questions, and made sure we understood the history and everything we needed to know. We saw everything we wanted to see, enjoyed a delicious lunch by the riverside, and even arrived back at our hotel on time. We highly recommend both Ahmed and Said. They made our day in Luxor comfortable, enjoyable, and truly unforgettable. Thank you so much for an amazing day and a wonderful experience!

Unforgettable day in Luxor
petronellap681, September 2026
We had an unforgettable day in Luxor! A very comfortable VIP car came to pick us up, and Ahmed was our driver. He did everything he could to make our journey comfortable and enjoyable, and to make sure we were among the first to arrive in Luxor, at the Karnak Temple. (He is the Number 1 driver! 😉) We had cold water and soft drinks available throughout the whole day, there was Wi-Fi in the car, and even a movie was shown for us. Everything really felt VIP! Our guide, Said, was very kind, knowledgeable and well-prepared. He explained everything to us in great detail and made sure we understood everything we needed to know. We highly recommend Ahmed and Said — Number 1 Team! 😊 The whole day was very well organized. We saw everything we wanted to see, had a delicious lunch, and even took a boat ride on the Nile. Thank you so much for an unforgettable day! ❤️

Incredible
p_troniek, September 2026
Given the reviews, I booked this activity in the hope of being in a small group and, above all, the first to arrive in Luxor, and I was not disappointed! Ahmed came to pick us up; it was just me and my partner. Ahmed did everything to please us and satisfy all our requests. We arrived before the crowds of tourists! I highly recommend it

Ahmed our driver made the day!
rutgen12, August 2026
What a day! We were picked up from El Gouna at 4am to get an early start, and boy did that matter! The have convoys into the road that travels to Luxor and you could end up waiting for hours. Ahmed our driver was a true star, he got us started early and we didn’t face to queue which meant we were one of the first tours into the temple of Karnak ( after Agatha Christie’s death in the Nile it’s been on my bucket list) and its sheer size and ornate cartouches certainly didn’t disappoint. Our guide Ash was a fountain of knowledge. Of course we were crazy enough to travel to Egypt in August so the heat was unbearable. Ahmed ensured we were as comfortable as can be though with snacks, cold drinks and even an ice cream to top off the trip. Be aware that Driving in Egypt isn’t for the faint hearted- but he got us there and back to the hotel safe and sound either a quiz and little treats from home too! All in all a wonderful day out, lovely people who try to make your experience amazing and sites that are truly worth the visit.
