Luxor Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

We had Fawakeh as our private tour guide and it was amazing, we had a two day tour and driver to keep us safe in Luxor and also provide us with all the sights and experiences. For €320 each we got two days of a personal driver from our hotel, all tickets and experiences included, a fluca sunset ride and a hot air balloon sunrise experience which I think is brilliant value for money! I would 100% recommend to anyone traveling that is stuck on an itinerary or where to start when visiting Luxor

We couldn’t recommend this tour enough. We did the valley of the kings, queens, King Tut’s and many more. Our tour guide Hassan was very friendly, informative and funny. We had a great time and learnt lots !

A huge thank you to Yousir and Captain Regep for the best hot air balloon experience in Luxor. You guys are simply the best! 🎈❤️

We had the best experience with Hod Hod Soliman and our pilot Omar! He flew in different heights, made sure we got to see the complete West Bank with Valley of the Kings etc. from above, and the landing was incredibly smooth :) Pick up and drop off was also very uncomplicated :) We also booked a farm tour after that which made the experience even better!

Hassan was a great guide through and through! Expert explanations about the best of best in Luxor. Highly recommend when visiting here!!

Great tour to go visit the Valley of the Kings and its various temples. Pick-up directly at the hotel, everyone was on time. Departure at 7:00 AM, return around 11:30 AM-12:00 PM. I was looking for simplicity and well that is exactly what I got, everything is very simple, the guide was very competent! I had a great day

We had a fantastic experience with Emo Tours Egypt, with Sam as our guide. Sam was extremely knowledgeable and we learnt so much throughout the tour. He gave us plenty of helpful guidance and we really enjoyed the way he explained each site before giving us some free time to explore and take everything in at our own pace.We also stopped at an alabaster workshop and store, which gave us the opportunity to see how the pieces are made and purchase items (in USD) if we wanted to.Our driver was excellent as well. The car was very clean, the air conditioning was great, and we felt completely safe and comfortable throughout the tour.Overall, a really enjoyable and well-organised experience. We would definitely recommend Emo Tours Egypt and especially Sam as a guide!

Excellent guided tour! Very informative and beat the crowds to have the best views. Our driver Khaled was great and so friendly and our guide Salwa was the best, shs had excellent knowledge and helped us to enjoy the day so much! Would definitely recommend!

Our guide Salwa was amazing. Highly recommend this tour.

Exciting to walk in the footsteps of the Pharaohs. Stunning details surround you, lots of information from every stop. You go for the Valley of the Kings, but the more unknown stops were as/more impressive and less crowded.

Khaled was a fantastic guide! He really knows Egyptian history and explained everything in a very interesting and easy-to-understand way. His explanation of hieroglyphics was especially great.We visited the Valley of the Kings and many other attractions, including the Valley of the Workers, which was definitely a hidden gem. We would highly recommend adding it to the itinerary — it was one of our favorite parts of the tour.We also visited an alabaster workshop, which was a really nice experience. There was absolutely no pressure to buy anything. They welcomed us with a complimentary drink, and we even got to try making a vase ourselves.As we were on our honeymoon, Khaled went the extra mile and surprised us with a very cute wedding gift — an alabaster plaque with our wedding date on it. It was such a thoughtful gesture and made the experience even more special.Thank you, Khaled, for making our trip so memorable! We would definitely recommend him to anyone visiting Luxor. 10/10! 😊

Beautiful vidit to the West Bank, another great discovery of Ancient Egypt in Louxor. Good guide and good driver.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with our guide Ahmed Abo Elkasem. Pick up was on-time at the Hilton in Luxor. Ahmed provided an excellent tour of the Valley of the Kings, Queen Hatshepsut Temple, and Colossi of Memnon. He was attentive to our questions and ensured we made the most of our time there. All in all, an excellent experience. I highly recommend him.

We had an absolutely incredible and exceptional day in Luxor with our guide Maria! She speaks French very well, which made our interactions easier; she is truly kind and attentive to her clients, it was a pure pleasure to listen to her and learn about the history of Egypt! A guide I recommend! Dorothée

Salwa was a great guide for me and my 13 year old daughter. She was knowledgeable and her pace was comfortable. She was also understanding when we wanted to skip a stop (shopping). Our driver's car was clean and cool in the June heat. We enjoyed the lunch at the end and we're able to head back to the hotel before the hottest part of the day began. I'm so glad we saw the sites of the West Bank as an intro to our trip to Egypt.

Timely transfers, guide: kind Bernadette who spoke Italian, everything was fine. Polite driver, perhaps the only downside was the stop at the alabaster factory, which was clearly aimed at sales. But even here, there was maximum discretion without the usual aggressive pressure.
