          Amazing!
          Our tour guide Noby was the best guide. He was so intelligent, and very passionate about his job, we learnt so much from him. He was kind, making sure we were okay the whole day. This tour is packed full of amazing landmarks, I would definitely recommend this tour, this was our favourite day.

          Best tour of Luxor!
          I cannot recommend this tour enough. Mohsen is such an exceptional tour guide. His knowledge in the history of Egypt is incredible. There is nothing Mohsen does not know about the history of his country. He was so helpful and even allowed us plenty of free time to explore the areas by ourselves which is something alot of tour guides genuinely don’t do. Mustafa was a great driver and a great person to have on the trip. If you want a guided tour of Luxor and want to learn about the history of this area look no further than this tour!!

          Hany is a gracious and accommodating tour guide who is incredibly knowledgeable about the sites around Luxor. Our driver, Mahmoud, was really nice as well. Overall a fun couple of days, and a great value for having your own private tour guide take you around Luxor. Highly recommend.

          The best trip to Luxor.
          The day was great, we had an excellent guide, Mr. "Hany", with a lot of knowledge and professionalism, he loves his job, and that makes everything better. He took care of us, gave us very timely advice and cared about our physical integrity, as he kept us hydrated. The driver of the vehicle, Mr. Mahmut was always very kind, and always opened and closed the door for us, they made me and my wife feel very comfortable. Highly recommend this tour with Reflection Travels.

          4 nights 4 days Luxor to Aswan cruise
          Excellent service on board on MS Royal Viking. Food tends to be international but does have some delicious Egyptian food which I would have liked more of. Very clean, quiet cabin. Tips for crew, which are customary, to share - put in envelope and give to reception desk. The itinerary on the first day was adjusted to fit with our starting hotel location, so top marks for that to our very well informed guide, Hany. He looked after us well, giving us guidance on how to avoid being taken in by the merchants in the shops that you have to walk through at many of the sites (tombs & temples). And advising on prices. He took us to the best tombs in the valley of kings, gave us the salient facts and stories for the sites, and gave us free time for us to wander at our own pace. He was an excellent guide and time keeper.

          Great cruise, we loved it!
          Our cruise was such a great experience! The Temples and tombs are fascinating, we had a great guide Hany, who quickly and accurately gauged our level of interest. He was great fun, but the main thing was his knowledge and love of Egyptology, which he shared in a way that kept engaged on each and every visit. He looked after us very well and helped us navigate buying the very few things that we really wanted. Hany was great! Boat staff were so nice and friendly.. Colette. UK.

          Amazing day with an amazing guide
          I am a solo female traveller & have been to Luxor many times. I have had several guides in the past but Barry is by far the best guide I have ever had. The depth of his knowledge regarding Egyptology is extremely impressive. I learnt so much! You are safe in Barry's hands. He is always looking out to make sure you are ok. He is very courteous & kind & has a wicked sense of humour. One of the best days ever!

          10/10 Tour with Many!
          Incredible tour of Luxor with Many. If you’re looking to see all the best sites of Luxor in a day, then don’t hesitate to book your tour with Many. I got to see 5 of the most important sites in Luxor, had lunch and a coffee all in a single day. As someone travelling solo this was perfect. Many is extremely knowledgeable about Ancient Egyptian history and provided a very detailed and entertaining insight into each location.

          Amazing tour! The Valley of Kings and Queens are beautiful, Collisi interesting, and Luxor Temple and Kanak are especially amazing when you have a knowledgeable guide with you. Our guide provided not only interesting information about the different locations but also excellent service and guidance. He is also excellent at history! I can recommend Hany as tour guide.

          Fantastic trip with awesome guide Hany!
          Amazing tour, with some incredibly sights. Definitely a worthwhile way to experience this fantasticly historic area of Egypt. It would not have been the same without Hany, our great tour guide who was extremely knowledgable about everything we saw, the different eras of ancient Egyptian history, and basically any and all question we had. If possible, I would ask for him, as he also has great humor and is very friendly. Food was also great. Tour recommended 5/5.

          The most informative tour guide ever. If you happen to get Mohsen, consider yourself lucky, he’s extremely knowledgeable, patient, and caring as he purchased multiple cold waters for this very hot day. If there’s part of the tour you’re not interested in just let him know and he’ll skip. It was such a please thank you again Mohsen… and shout out to our driver also Ahmed!

        Roshdy, our tour guide was very informative and fun to be around.

        We are always a bit hesitant to pay the "premium" on tour guides vs. just going ourselves but would definitely recommend this one due to the number of stops and history behind all the stops.

        My husband and I took a full day trip with Guide Barry and we cannot say enough good things about our trip! Barry was very punctual and met us in our lobby right on time; the vehicle was brand new, spacious, and very clean. During the tour I never felt rushed and Barry led us through the temples at a comfortable pace while teaching us much about Egyptian history (and unlike other tours, we did not make any unplanned stops to shops or markets).If you’re looking for a compassionate, respectful tour guide for your next experience, I would recommend Barry in a heartbeat; a decision you’ll never regret!

        We had a fantastic trip with Mohsen. He was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and made it a great experience for us. All tickets were pre-purchased (additional tomb tickets could be purchased on top). All arrangements were pre-made so it was a hassle free experience. Our tour took 5hrs door to door with pickup and drop off from our hotel on the West Bank. We would highly recommend Mohsen who was a walking encyclopaedia of Egyptian knowledge.

        My Girlfriend and I had an incredible experience during our tour with Roshdy. We started our journey in Egypt at Cairo to see the great Pyramids. As great as the pyramids were our experience in dealing with locals and guides was at the opposite end of the spectrum. Got conned multiple times and it was frustrating.

        Roshdy was like a breath of fresh air. He was kind, thoughtful, patient and very well informed. He did not push us into buying anything and was not overbearing.

        He took us to a really good restaurant called Africa (had vegetarian and vegan options) which had a great view of the Nile.
        He also went above and beyond by taking us to a perfume shop which was not in our iternarary and was super prompt in getting our phone charger back to our hotel which we had forgotten in the car.

        I highly recommend using Reflections Travel with Roshdy as your guide! You will not be disappointed!

        Haney and Ahmed (respectful driver) picked us up on time and they had the tickets and timed everything in an organized fashion. Haney walked with us to all sites but did not enter any thumbs because guides are not allowed (not sure about the latter since we saw a few inside giving tours). Unfortunately towards the end of the day, we were disappointed with the lunch place because the meals were overpriced ($10), and so were the sodas ($3). I would recommend to the travel agency to arrange a deal with a fair and honest restaurant and simply include it in the package. The fact that we bring American dollars doesn't mean that tourists must pay 3x or 4x the fair prices, unfortunately, it felt like lots of Luxor people wanted to overprice everything. Aside from this, Haney was kind, funny, and his English fluency is pretty decent but could still use some practice to ensure tourists understand 100%.

        I booked a full day tour of Luxor - tour itself was good. But i have rated them 1 star as they participate in scamming the tourists- so please be aware when booking a tour.

        As part of their tour they take the tourist to a store called Sekhmet stating we should buy from this store. They create a whole story as to how everything is handmade by the team, & how we should never buy from the street vendor’s as they are selling very poor quality products hence their price it is soo cheap.

        Beware nothing in the store is handmade, it is mass produced. Everything is extremely over priced i.e they want ÂŁ100 just for a small statue which you see the street vendors selling the same for ÂŁ2.

        Mohsen was our guide for two days and Islam was our driver. We had a rocky start as Reflections told them the wrong pickup time - 9am when we had booked 8am. They did apologise and managed to arrive for 8.40am. We didn't feel rushed and saw the West bank sites. We didn't need to queue and we avoided crowds so we recommend going as early as possible. His knowledge and friendliness made up for the late start. He took us to the tombs that were most worth seeing and offered us the opportunity to see Tutankhamun's tomb but gave us the pros and cons so we could make an informed decision.
        At the temple of Hatshepsut, he explained the site and let us wander on our own. We weren't sure if we were missing out on his guidance because we did see a tour guide explaining some hieroglyphics, and then we asked him about the relics and he explained a bit. We ended the tour with the colossi of Memnon which was ok, and then was dropped off at our hotel for lunch. Even though it was a short full day, it felt like we had covered a lot.

        For day two, they did come on time and we were taken to the Karnak and luxor temples which were both amazing and he explained in detail a lot of hieroglyphics and discussed theories to our interests with passion. He also gave us time to absorb, marvel and explore at our own pace. Again, we returned back to the hotel in time for lunch and felt like we had a full day.

        If you get Mohsen, you will have a lovely time.

        The tour was no nonsense (gift shops, papyrus "museums", spice shops) so recommend if you're not into all that and are just interested in the history of Luxor.

        I booked my tour at the last minute with Reflections Travel. Youssef was my tour guide and he doubled up as my personal photographer. He was very informative and flexible with the schedule. I was very interested in the artwork inside the tombs in the Valley of the Kings, so I spent a longer time there - he was very accommodating and worked around preferences. The tour itself was great - you’ll get to visit almost all the main attractions on the West Bank. It’s a long day, but you will learn a lot and get to see some of Egypt’s most treasured sites. I would highly recommend Reflections Travel for your tours in Luxor - ask for Youssef!

        We booked this tour during our 10 day visit to Egypt and it’s been everything we could’ve hoped for. 

We booked one day prior, so that’s quite short notice. TripAdvisor’s payment system faltered, but I made arrangements through WhatsApp and they showed great flexibility there. 

Our guide and driver arrived right on time to pick us up at our hotel. 

All the sights in this tour are fantastic and really not to be missed if you’re in Egypt. I think the Valley of the Kings is even more impressive than the Pyramids – but of course it’s not a contest. 

Our guide Sayed has so much knowledge and insights, it was fantastic. He showed us bits and pieces we would’ve never seen ourselves and he gave context to the things we saw. He also likes to ask quick quiz questions like “Remember I told you about Anubis, the god of …”. I didn’t always know the answers because it’s quite a lot to take in ;-). 

Both Sayed and our driver were polite and chivalrous. Asking if we’re comfortable in the car, offering to buy water and suggesting to take toilet breaks at known clean places. 
Of course he buys the tickets to all the sites so you don’t have to worry about that. 

Only thing I didn’t like were the people offering unsolicited help at the various sites and then expecting payment. Even the official overseers in the tombs do that, which is super annoying. But that’s just the way it is in Egypt. 

The pacing of the tour is really good. You can go as fast or slow as you like. We ended up doing the tour in 6.5h which was great because it was a very hot day (42°C). 

So, to sum up:
I can highly recommend this tour.

        Roshdy was an awesome guide! The best that we have had so far this trip. He gave plenty of details and didn’t rush us from site to site, like others have. He also did a very good job of running interference between our group and the people selling cheap souvenirs. Although lunch wasn’t included, he suggested a local cafe that served the best Egyptian food we’ve eaten on our trip. 5 Stars. Definitely recommend requesting Roshdy for any Luxor tour you’re doing!
