We were for two days at Luxor and Mohamed arranged everything for us. We didn’t have to worry about one single thing, even pick and drop off at the airport. Our tour guide for the two days was Hamdy. He was very detailed in all the information he provided to us. After every explanation at all the places we went, he gave us free time to take pictures which was nice. On our second day to the East Side tours, we asked him if we could have a snack somewhere else and walk around the market (because we wanted to pibe the experience) and he was very friendly and took us there. We had coffee together and we kept talking about our lives, he became like a friend in two days. For one of the tours, we had lunch included with Chef Hassan and OMG! The most delicious food I tried during our whole trip to Egypt, it wasn’t just about the flavor, it was about the service he provided. We were all delighted with everything.lyenfa

I have not enough word to explain our time in Luxor, except that it was the highlight of our trip through Egypt. and that is thank to our incredible tour guy Saber, the amazing chef Hassan and the hospitality of Abdul. Saber has been hand down the best tour guy that we had, he so knowledge, friendly and welcoming. His passion in regard to ancient Egyptian history was extremely contagious that we want to keep learning more. We were very lucky to have him as our tour guy for the West bank tour with lunch and the East bank tour. We definitely recommend him. Another key player that made our experience in Luxor unique was chef Hassan, we were lucky enough to try more than once is cooking. which gave us the opportunity to experience the authentic Egyptian food, and on top of that he is an extremely nice person. One more person that we would love to mentioned in our review and thank him for such great hospitality is Abdul. Since our first day in Luxor he was always making sure that we had everything that we need and that everything was great. He is such a friendly guy. We truly recommend Far and Beyond travel as your tour company if you are planning to go to Luxor,219kseniad

We had a great day, very interesting and well organized tour. Special thanks to our guide Hamdy, very knowledgeable and nice, highly recommend! He was very good at recommending us the best tombs to visit and told us very interesting stories behind the carvings on the walls in Medivet Habu (visiting it without the guide wouldn’t be as interesting). Lunch was delicious and plenty of food (we were still full even by the dinner), nice setting overlooking the Nile, friendly staff. Overall great experience, exactly what we wanted to see coming to Luxor only fit few days. Thank you and keep up the good work!BenI763

Just the perfect Luxor experience. We were picked up from the boat in Hurghada and whisked off to Luxor for a 4 day private tour and then dropped back to the airport at Hurghada, heads buzzing with experiences and knowledge. Mohamed, our host, was utterly charming and his two properties were beautifully turned out and decorated with stunning antiquities on loan from his showroom at the Winter Palace. The visit to both the showroom and his ancestral home and alabaster workshop in the old village by the Valleys of the Kings and Queens were other level informative. Saber, our tour guide, was bright, funny, engaging and ever patient with us. He was informative on the sights, but equally on the process of becoming a guide and his dedication to his job and to the history and his evident pride in working for Mohamed were all inspiring. The tour that had been crafted for us was exemplary, taking in the main sights and experiences, but also including some of the lesser sights that together built such a vivid portrait of the New Kingdom. We learned so much and left full of the desire to see and learn even more. A last word to Chef Hassan, whose cooking was spectacular. Cannot recommend highly enough.ladaew

In October we travelled as a couple and booked everything with Mohammed company for luxor Starting by the accommodation on Airbnb, which was very nice, with a beautiful view on the Nile The house clerk, Abdullah, was also very kind and professional with us There is also a possibility to eat at the roof of the Airbnb with a delicious food provided by the chef Hassan, big thanks to him for the great meal he prepared for us (breakfast, lunch and dinner) Then we book a guided tour to visit the West side cultural sites of Luxor. Our guide named Saber was amazing, he is very patient and explains very well. He made us very interested to the stories of ancient Egypt. It's very important to take a good guide, otherwise you will miss all the very interesting stories. To finish, all the crew is very professional, understood our need and was not hassling Many thanks to Mohammed for our enjoyable 3 days stay in Luxor Wathsala & Bastien
