Abd Rabbo - great driver with plenty of info about Luxor to share! - We booked the car + driver package to visit the sites in East and West Bank of Luxor. Abd Rabbo has been amazing. He was on time with the morning pick up. He gave us ample of time to visit all the places. Although we didn’t have a tour guide, he pointed out different places and gave us some info on the way, which we truly appreciated.
He accommodated to our requests, started the tour on the West side, and skipped shops that we weren’t very interested. After visiting all the sites as agreed, he brought us to a restaurant with great views for late lunch before dropping us off at the hotel. The entire tour lasted for 8 hours.
Abd Rabbo, thank you for driving and showing us around Luxor for the whole day!

Great, highly recommend - We have requested a pick up from the Luxor airport at 8am, although our flight was due to land around 6:30am, just in case any delays. We flew in from Cairo for a one day visit. The driver Beshoy was already waiting for us, an hour earlier than expected. It was a nice surprise. We went off to pick up our guide Shereen and then started our tour. We opted for a driver an a guide only as we felt, we would have more flexibility this way. Shereen is a knowledgeable guide snd she was patiently answering all our questions. She helped us buying the tickets and to choose additional tombs worth visiting. The whole experience was amazing and definitely worth doing.

Luxor Day Trip East & West Bank - Great experience. Amazing help from agency as we booked for package with tickets and later realised we could get 50% discount for student tickets but it was too late to claim refund from Tripadvisor . However Emo tours and Travels offered to pay us the difference . Guide : Peter and Driver : Mumdouh were very professional and friendly as well.

All sites in one day with Ahmed - Ahmed was an excellent tour guide. He shared historical and modern day information that helped us appreciate the Egyptian culture even more. We managed to cover everything on the itinerary, which was a full day covering all the key sights in one day, including a stop to see how they make alabaster vases and lunch. Lunch was your typical Egyptian tour fare, nothing fancy. Worth the cost.

Fully recommend this fantastic tour! Ayad is a great guide! - We really enjoyed our tour of the east and west banks of Luxor with Emo Tours! Ayad was a phenomenal tour guide for the day, he wears extremely knowledgeable about each of the places we visited and really made us comfortable for the day.
He gave us plenty of in depth information about the valley of the kings, queen Hatshepsut’s temple, the Colossi of Memnon, Luxor temple and Karnak temple.
We enjoyed a delicious lunch at a local restaurant with lots of fantastic food and we picked up some great gifts as well.
We are really grateful to Ayad for such a wonderful trip, it was a great day for my birthday!
Hasan was a great driver as well and we appreciated his good driving. He was perfectly on time to pick us up too.

The greatest Egyptologist in Luxor - We were fortunate enough to have the great Egyptologist Ayman for this tour of the east and West Bank, an extremely knowledgeable and friendly man. We couldn’t have hoped for better. His English was outstanding and his knowledge of Egyptian history was conveyed to us with mesmerising enthusiasm. He truly made the experience better than we could have imagined. We felt safe too and that is probably the most important thing. The driver did a fantastic job too although I can’t remember his name! Thankyou driver! Thankyou Ayman for an unforgettable day!!!!

There was no water. - The water was burning, but it was not. I ended up buying it myself. I had to walk extra because I couldn't get to the parking area inside the gate where buses from various sightseeing spots were stopping, which felt like a normal taxi ride. The driver was not a bad person because he talked to me about a lot of things. It is recommended because it offers a cheap tour of the main attractions of the West Bank.

Don't book this tour!! Very Bad experience - tour guide was more of selling instead of giving tour about Luxor! - I do not recommend this travel agency. We booked our flights just to be in Luxor for a day, but the tour guide assigned to us ruined it all, it was even my husband's birthday. The tour guide focused on selling us necklace and when we said NO, he lost his interests in the tour. He stopped explaining the history and was on rush. He even told us that there is no need to go to the last temple of Hatshepsut cause as per him there is nothing. We paid so much for this tour that included all tickets. The tour only took a total of 3hrs since the guide Ahmed was not interested at all. Worst experience i ever had in Egypt.
