Great West Bank Tour Experience
We had a very good experience on our West Bank tour with Amera Salem.Our guide was punctual, friendly, and very helpful throughout the visit. Everything was well planned, and she took the time to answer our questions and explain the different sites clearly.We were travelling with our little daughter, which made the day a bit more challenging at times, and we really appreciated the patience, flexibility, and support throughout the tour. She always tried to make things easier for us and helped whenever needed.Overall, it was a smooth and enjoyable experience, and we would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Luxor.

Awesome experience!!!
We loved our first guided tour experience so much that we had to do another amazing experience with Al Hassany Travel, this time exploring the West Bank of Luxor.Our guide, Mohammed el Bash, incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and just absolutely awesome — that’s why we requested him a second time! He made the ancient sites come alive and took the time to answer all of our questions.Our driver, Mousa, was also wonderful—punctual, professional, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the tour. The clean car and A/C were especially appreciated in the Luxor heat!We had such an unforgettable experience and are so happy we chose Al Hassany Travel again. Highly recommend!

Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor679brendana, Sep 2026
Amazing full day in Luxor!
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!

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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐What an incredible experience in Luxor! Visiting the Valley of the Kings and exploring the different temples was absolutely amazing. The history, architecture and stories behind everything we saw made the whole day unforgettable.Lunch on the Nile was a brilliant addition and gave us the chance to relax, enjoy the views and take in the beauty of Luxor.A massive thank you to our tour guide, Hassan, who was fantastic from start to finish. He was knowledgeable, friendly, professional and genuinely passionate about Egyptian history. He explained everything clearly, answered all our questions and made the whole experience even more enjoyable.One of the highlights of my trip to Egypt and an experience I would definitely recommend. If you get the opportunity to book this tour, ask for Hassan — you won’t be disappointed!

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! 😊

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

A great Half-Day on the West Bank with Ahmed
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.

Incredible day with a top-notch guide
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!

Enjoyable morning on the West Bank.
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.

Fantastic first hot air balloon ride in Luxor!
Pickup was super early via van and then ferry to cross the Nile. We waited for hours with hundreds of other travelers flying with many different companies. Good thing we scheduled our first morning in Luxor, as all flights were cancelled by the agency that regulates balloon rides. We were dropped off at a meeting point for our next tour of Valley of the Kings/Queens, rather than a returning back to our hotel. This was convenient. We did have the next day available, so we rebooked and hoped for the best. That night happened to be Egypt’s return to standard time, so clocks fell back and we were picked up an hour earlier. Same process as previous day… van, ferry across the Nile, wait hours in the dark while being pestered by vendors selling goods, mostly children. But this day the balloons went up. What a glorious sight to see the balloons inflate on the ground… have your camera ready We were given premium spots in the balloon because the workers recognized that we had returned a second day. (Most people around us the previous day couldn’t rebook, as they were leaving Luxor.) The flight was epic. It feels like nothing when you leave the ground and float through the air. We had great views of the sunrise, Valley of the Queens, and the other balloons. All went well with the flight and landing. Transfer back to our hotel was smooth. Highly recommend this experience!

Last-minute trip to the Valley of the Kings
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.
