Pharaohs' Secrets: Private Luxor & Kings Valley Tour from Hurghada

Very long day of history but 100% worth it. We were picked up by taxi at 4.45am and were driven to Karnak Temple where we met our guide Sala. Sala gave us amazing stories about the temple and it's history and didn't rush us. We then paid £40 for 2 tickets for the boat across the Nile which was lovely. We had food at a restaurant at the other side which wasn't too our liking but the staff were lovely. We then travelled to the colossis of memnon and then Valley of the kings which was just incredible, again Sala was amazing with all the information and history. We did pay for the extra 2 tickets about £52 which I thought cheeky considering what we had already paid but so worth it to get into the best tombs. We then headed to the alabaster factory which was optional and you didn't get pressured. We were then driven back to our hotel and arrived back about 6.45pm. We were so glad we had the private transfers as others were longer with shared transport. A big thank you to Sala our guide for making it a brilliant day out, We had an amazing time.

Salah our guide that we picked up after a private transfer in a comfy car was great. He skipped the queues which was big bonus. I wouldn't want to go in the busy season and would have loved a little more time in karnaks temple. This blew me away. Advice take coin dollars or Egyptians pounds only for tips ie toilets anywhere. The boat trip we did private so added more ..not worth it I felt for this bit but deffo pay the £10 for the group boat instead of back in the car. They are opening the desert road to make journey quicker from hurghada. Worth the journey though The locals he introduced us to were great as not pushy and showing us how the made their goods. Fascinating and lovely.. Salah thank you for making our trip amazing your family i am sure are very proud of you..

We had an amazing day trip to Cairo and on the next day to Luxor well organized by Aladdin Darwish. The communication with Aladdin was kind, professional and very easy. Our driver Ali and guide Hassan (Bulgarian speaker) were kind, supportive and let us feel very special. We got a big and comfortable car for only two of us what made our trip very comfortable. Aladdin also has supplied drinks for the whole journey that is usually not included in the package. We have skipped all queues which help us not to rush and have more than enough time for photos, goin inside in the Tutankhamun tomb, in the Great Pyramid of Gyza etc. that is not impossible if you go on a bus trip. I highly recommend Canary Tours Egypt and I can`t enough thank you Aladdin making our two trips unforgettable.

We had a memorable day in Luxor on January 22nd. Everything went well, exactly as promised. Comfortable private transport from Hurghada to Luxor. At Luxor we were joined by a guide and wow, he was very professional. (sorry we forgot your name ). We saw all the important sights we had dreamed about for years. A day we will never forget. Million thanks!

Highly Recommend Canary tours From Transfers to Hotels valley of the kings drivers very safe and polite Salah was a very good tour guide very unrushed very knowledgeable superb trip Then boat trip to Paradise island with Aladdin snorkel stops very safe and helpful crew amazing snorkelling dinner was very good paradise island is lovely a big thank you to Aladdin and Salah for making these trips so special definitely a well deserved 5 stars

Abdul, our excellent and safe driver, picked us up from our hotel on time in a very clean and new air-conditioned car . He offered us water ,cola,Sprite, or Fanta throughout the trip. We stopped halfway at a service station for a coffee and to use the clean toilets, then continued our trip onto luxor. Abdul showed us all the interesting points on the way. On the outskirts of luxor, we picked up our guide salah, who took us to karnak Temple salah explained in excellent detail about the history of this place which was actually mind blowing thinking how this was built . Salah gave us ample time to take pictures, we then visited Valley of the Kings and £10 per extra to see tutankhamen tomb. We then visited another temple, then a shop that sold alabaster pottery personally. I felt you were obliged to purchase something here, although it was done very subtly. We finished the day with a late lunch in a local restaurant with nice views. All in all, it was an excellent day, and I would definitely recommend the private trip as I feel you get much more information and it is a very long day we left our hotel 05.00 and returned 20.15 so it is nice to travel in comfort.

I don't write reviews often, my status as a European court human right winner, putting my name to someone or a company I have to be sure without doubt aladdins company are outstanding others booked with the hotel, we booked with him instead of being crammed in a 14 seat bus we had it to ourselves and a private guide that's what we booked it was only pennies more expensive but the difference in our experience compared to others was just different class the tour guide Salah was so knowledgeable he made the experience outstanding the bus drivers were excellent also couldn't do enough for you... After this trip I took ill nothing to do with Egypt a condition I have aladdin was outstanding picking me up taking me to hospital and made sure I wasn't ripped off this guy is a really nice guy and booking with him you will have no problems we are going back and will be booking more trips with him, he even took us a tour of Hurghada and recommended restaurants and the food was excellent.. If your from the EU or UK book with him

We chose Canary Tours as we know them to be customer focused, flexible and extremely reliable, nothing is too much trouble and their prices are great value for money too. The day trip to Luxor and Valley of the Kings was nothing short of fantastic. We've done the trip a good few years earlier with our then 8 year old and had an amazing time but to return with him as a 20 year old studying archeology was something else. Everything was planned to perfection from the hotel pick-up to the drinks, snacks, lunches. As I am Coeliac we chose to get a takeaway from MacDonald's in Luxor for lunch, which we ate on a boat on the Nile! Our guide was very attentive and really knew his stuff (his dad was also a university lecturer in Egyptology). The Tombs are amazing, you get to visit 3 as part of your ticket entry. We chose to pay extra on the day to look in 2 more of our choosing and we weren't disappointed, nothing can really prepare you for the sights you will see on entry to these tombs! Also included on the day was a visit to the temple of Hatshepsut and Karnak temple. We chose to pay an additional fee to visit Luxor Temple too which we were really glad we did as we experienced the city center hustle bustle too. I would highly recommend this trip especially with Canary Tours.

We booked this trip with Omar, he is brilliant! From the very start of the day we was greeted on time by a very friendly driver, there was a lot of drinks included waiting for us in the car. Our tour guide Sala was absolutely amazing!!! He is so friendly and so informative about everything, he knew every answer to every question asked! He asked us what we wanted to see first and really catered the day to what we was interested in! His English is absolutely brilliant! Overall just a very lovely person!! We had a fantastic day from start to finish I would 100% recommend the valley of the kings trip to anyone, the best trip I’ve ever been on! And to book with Canary tours as they’re very reliable and won’t let you down!

i went to see the valley of the kings, the temple of karnak, luxor temple and hatshepsut temple with canary tours. omar is a great member of staff and helped us organise the best day plan possible. he has become a good friend of our over the years and even bought me and my family sim cards, bug spray and medications in preperation for our arrival in egypt! the transfer was in a brand new minivan with plenty of space and reading lights which i would have used if i didn’t sleep the whole journey! the guide we had, salah, was amazing. being an archaeology student myself i was able to have some amazing conversations with him and i learned a lot, he pointed out different parts of the temple at karnak and luxor and in the valley of the kings that i’d never heard of. brilliant customer service. he told me he volunteers in luxor in the summer putting together artefacts that they’re still currently excavating within the temples! we were able to get lunch on the nile between the temple at karnak and the luxor temple which was amazing. canary tours are best in class with price and service with the most friendly staff i’ve met in egypt over the years. cannot recommend them highly enough!!
