Private Luxor Odyssey: Nile's East & West Bank Wonders

Salwa was a very informative and friendly guide. Happy to go at our pace and answer all questions we had. Would recommend. Thank you.

Selwa was absolutley the perfect guide. She was so knowledgeable and was fun to interact with! My entire family had the best day and much of it was due to her! The day was a perfect balance of activities, perfectly planned. She was also great at finding optimal photo opportunities and was frequently using my phone to capture photos of my whole family which was so appreciated.

The private tour in Luxor was excellent! So glad we did this just the 2 of us, where we saw all the major sites in one day. Shereen was our guide for the day who was friendly, knowledgeable and super helpful, also recommended a couple of extra places to visit whilst we were on our stay. The sites are just incredible - thankfully it wasn’t busy in all the places so we had a decent amount of time to learn around the history of each place and take some nice pictures! Lunch was great - felt traditional food which was a nice change from resort food at the hotel. Couldn’t recommend this enough! Our driver was also polite and a gentlemen - Sayed. Car was air conditioned too. Only slight improvement was around the communication before our trip…I sent a message via get my guide who we booked through around pick up as we were slightly outside of the zone, and I had nothing back, I did try to call but no answer. Thankfully the hotel recommended WhatsApp and then communication was excellent & they collected us from the hotel without any problem. Absolutely still 5 star! WhatsApp is the way forward too in Luxor for many communications! You must go!

Could not have asked for a better tour guide, Salwa from EMO TOURS EGYPT was lovely and went above and beyond, taking us to the best places and local insights. The unique authentic carving from Luxors finest were so kind and allowed us to shop their store without be hassled for a change which was really nice.

We had a wonderful one-day private tour with Salwa. The reason to go on a private tour was to go much deeper in understanding the ancient Egyptian civilization than we could during out travel-group experience in the previous days. So, we wanted to see specific sites, not part of the usual highlights aroud Luxor, that required full flexibility, relative to the original program. She understood exactly what we needed and showed us the hidden gems, from amazing shrines in the Valley of Nobles - with zero tourists around - compared to the hundreds and thousands in the Valley of Kings, but also recommended the best and unique ones there. She gave us in-depth insight into the rituals, beliefs and meaning of all the symbols, depictions - in a perfectly adjusted manner. She talked us through but also gave us as much time as we wanted on each site. We had a nice lunch, the car and the driver were great and we took advantage of the full 8 hours of the program. Salwa is among the best guides we ever encountered - thanks a lot again!

Ahmed Omar was a great guide for this full day tour of the temples and tombs. The private tour is recommended, as it allows for a more intimate learning experience. He always checked to see if I had any more questions. A very thoughtful guide. A nice lunch to finish the day.

An excellent well organise trip. Our guide Baghat was excellent and very very knowledgable. He was so patient and very passionate to explain the history of luxor. Lunch provided on the trip was good too. Overall an excellent day.

Sam was a fantastic guide - definitely request him if you can. Sam’s knowledge and passion for Luxor and Egyptian history was very evident. We were grateful. Only negative was the lunch. This was not a cheap tour. We asked for our tour to include lunch. You would assume this included food and a non alcoholic drink etc. the food was very basic. When we left we were asked for payment for the soft drink and lemon water. If you choose this tour, don’t include the lunch. I think it’s better value to buy your own. Our friends suggested El Marsam restaurant. I wish we had done that.

Great tour that let's you visit all the important places you want in Luxor. We were in Luxor for the day and this tour was ideal for day visitors. Shareen, our guide and Mr. H, our driver, were both very good and patiently went around the sites explaining the history. Highly recommended.

Of all the private day tours we did in Egypt this was the best by far. The guide was very knowledgable and tailored the experience to our needs and desires. She really went above and beyond to make the tour special for our family. I can’t recommend this tour enough
