Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor

My boyfriend and I had the best time with Emo Tours and specifically our Tour Guide Ghada Khakaf (would highly recommend her)! We were promptly picked up from our hotel in a nice car with AC and spent the day visiting both the West and East Banks of Luxor. Ghada was super knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about Egyptology, having studied it for 4 years at university. She was able to answer all of our questions regarding the history but also the day to day life of the locals. If you're in the area, this is definitely a must see tour!

Zidane was awesome-- easy to interact with and knowledgeable of the sites. By the end of the day he felt more like a friend than a tour guide

We really enjoyed our day. Everything was seamless and our tour guide was really kind and funny. He helped us find a covid testing center and went with us to ensure we got the results we needed. He even texted with us after when we hadn't heard back before our flight and called the center himself. A+ really great guy.

There is a tourist trap included in this tour (alabaster shop). I recommend not accepting any offers for drinks or tea as they can be a little pushy and follow you around the store. I can't attest to whether or not the stuff is high quality but it definitely was way more expensive than what we've seen elsewhere. That part was frustrating but every single tour we've done had something like this included.

Such a great experience. Our tour guide Mustafa (sp?) was fun and friendly, and very knowledgeable. Each of the stops were incredible, from Valley of the Kings in the beginning to Luxor Temple. Karnak was incredible and massive!

Highly recommend. Managed to visit basically every major site in Luxor in a day. Guide was very knowledgeable and spoke good English.

A full day of exploring all the Luxor highlights. Our guide Dina was great at explaining each site and giving us plenty of time at the stops.

Visited so many temples in one day.
The guide was very knowledgeable.
Was very interesting experience.

A great day in Luxor. Mamoud Nafee was a great guide, knowledgeable, funny, and attentive. I would highly recommend this tour.

Good trip. Great lunch. Saw everything I wanted to see. Would recommend, all was good. Would do again.

This was an amazing and very educational experience, Dina the Tour guide Is very professional and Was well informed About everything we asked even outside of the tour topics , exceptional in all
Aspects , and our driver Hameda was always around when needed and took very good care of us ! I enjoyed this very much and look
Forward to spending more time here in Luxor and bring my family along with me for next time !! Thanks emotours

First, I would like to say Emo Tours is a very professional organization. During our time in Luxor we experienced set backs from the local government shutting down Luxor attractions due to Covid-19. Emo Tours was accommodating to our schedule due to the delays and we were able to squeeze in the tour as planned.

Second, we also appreciate that our tour guide Sawsan was flexible and able to take us to see all of the sights. Her knowledge of the area provided us with a great understanding of Luxor's history.

Lastly our driver and Sawsan went above and beyond to make sure we saw everything even with our time limitations. We would definitely recommend Sawsan to other travelers for a great tour experience.

It was a great experience. We are family of four, 2 adults and 2kids, 6 and 10 years old. The guide was knowledgable and very accommodate. We have covered West and East including buggy and boat rides.

What a wonderful time I spent! Hamdy the tour guide was waiting for me at the Luxor airport early in the morning and took me for a nice day tour of East and West Bank, we visited all the crucial places and finished the day with a delicious lunch on a terrace overlooking Nile. :) thank you for this lovely day, it was just what I needed!

I liked the professionalism of the tour guide and the driver, the tour worth the money and the time spend out the hotel. The timing and temperature where perfect for a full day your.

Well organized tour of Valley of Kings, Hatshepsut temple and the Karnak and Luxor temples. Nermeen was an excellent guide and shared the appropriate information to bring the monuments to life. She was helpful and attentive to our needs and made the tour comfortable.

My husband and I had a wonderful day with our tour guide Hasan! The tour started promptly when Hasan and the driver picked us up at our hotel. We stopped for snacks and made our way to Valley of the Kings. We visited three tombs and learned so much! Hasan is very intelligent, spoke great English, and very personable. We then made our way to Hatshepsut’s Temple and learned so much there as well- Hasan has great knowledge and we could tell he enjoyed teaching us. We later stopped at a store, we were greeted by very friendly natives, and we bought souvenirs. Going back to the East Bank and visited Karnak Temple, had a great lunch of local food, and lastly stopped at Luxor Temple. We got there at sunset and it was truly beautiful! The entire experience was unbelievable, and our tour guide Hasan definitely made it enjoyable and memorable!

I booked a last minute private tour with Ahmed Oraby. From beginning to end, I had a wonderful full day experience exploring Luxor and learning about its rich history.

Ahmed (and our driver Muhammad) arrived at my hotel promptly at our scheduled time (they were even kind enough to wait a few minutes as I was running late from my overnight train that had arrived behind schedule). After we were situated in the car (clean, modern, comfortable) Ahmed outlined a detailed overview of the day's itinerary and what I should expect. Since we had to drive between the different locations, Ahmed made fantastic use of these transfers to frame a cohesive historical picture of how all the things we were seeing (or about to see) fit together. This was very valuable as it tied not only the day's experience together, but also some of the other sites/locations I'd seen and visited earlier in my Egypt trip (for example Cairo and Giza).

At each of the stops, Ahmed gave an in depth explanation of what we saw and was always open to questions. He always had my experience in mind. For example, when we were in the Valley of the Kings and had options for which tombs to visit, he provided insight and recommendations to which tombs might be most enjoyable. After I was knowledgeable about the site, he would provide plenty of free time to explore alone and take photos.

At no time during the day did I feel rushed or hurried along. We visited all the sites as outlined on the booking overview and even had a chance to stop for fresh sugarcane juice (at Ahmed's personal recommendation). The tour came complete with lunch (vegetarian as requested) and some water during the transfers. At the end of the day I was dropped off with no problems at my hotel. Overall, this tour went above and beyond my expectations. In addition to learning about the incredible sites and history, Ahmed's dedication to customer experience certainly made this day/tour memorable.

Great tour of The Valley of the Kings, colossi of Memmingen, Hatcheosut’s Temple, and the temples of Karnak and Luxor: Ahmed was great and except for some minor issue misunderstanding the gathering point we had no issue. Avoid buying souvenirs at the tour included shops.

We had a fantastic tour with our guide Hamdy Ahmed. he picked us up on time and had so much wonderful information throughout the tour. He also had a great, relaxed attitude. I would recommend this tour and Hamdy as a guide to anyone traveling to Luxor. 5 stars for Hamdy!

Wonderful tour with Angie! We saw And learned so much! Everything was smooth and well organized. Lunch was tasty! Angie is a great guide, age really tight us a lot about egyptian history!

Me and my girlfriend hade a wonderful time and unbelievable experience visiting the east and west banks of luxor with our tour guide Hesham. He and a driver picked us up at the hotel in a nice comfortable car. We honestly could not have asked for a better experience, HESHAM is a friendly and professional young man and extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the history of Egypt and the places we visitet.The overall experience was very enjoyable and comfortable. The tur ended with a good food and also a bot ride on the Nile, wiche we extra asked for. We would highly recommend this tour to everyone!

We had a well organised full day tour with tour guide Sam. He has full of knowledge on history.
He is spot on time management. Pickup at the airport at 7:30am and dropped us back by 5pm. He looked after us very well. The driver was the expert. Both of them are professional ones with good attitude.
The lunch treat was excellent and indeed too much to finish up. All the drinks and snacks are also supplied.
We thoroughly enjoyed through out that day.
It included a visit to a local business shop where you could learn how the marble/sand stones are carved. You could buy various arts and handcrafts there but rather expensive though.
Worth every penny of the tour.

Mustafa Awad was our guide for the most amazing private tour my husband and I have ever experienced. We were treated with enormous care and hospitality. Mustafa gave us very in-depth insight on the history of every stop on our tour. He was so good at keeping our attention while making the information so interesting that at every stop there were people stopping and listening to him and even asking him questions. Five stars is not enough for the phenomenal service we received from Mustafa and we highly recommend asking for him if you plan to take a tour in Luxor and your guaranteed to be amazed.

Sam was incredibly knowledgeable. This was a great tour. These Luxor sites are unmissable. I would highly recommend booking this tour with Sam.

Our guide, Yola, has incredible knowledge of ancient Egypt. She is personable and has excellent English. This is a great tour of the East and West bank of Luxor. We had and awesome day trip to Luxor from Cairo.

We had a full day tour to the East and West Banks of Luxor with our wonderful tour guide Angie. She was a wealth of knowledge and made this visit an amazing experience for us! She was at our hotel promptly at 7am to pick us up with our driver (Mohammed). She had water and snacks for us on the drive. Angie has a degree in Egyptian history and was quite the expert at giving us a background on the history. We covered a lot during the day. Queen Hatshepsut's temple was a highlight as was the valley of the kings. We did pay the extra fee to visit King Tut's tomb (300 Egyptian pounds per person) and felt it was quite worth it. We had an amazing lunch at a restaurant called Africa. The food was very good as was the service. Then we rode a motor boat across the Nile to get back to visit the Luxor and Karnak Temples. Angie was very knowledgeable, patient, and took good care of us. I would recommend her highly as a guide.
Thanks Angie and Emo Tours for an unforgettable experience!!!

We enjoyed everything about this tour. Our tour guide Marwa was so nice and very knowledgeable. She made sure we saw the best sites in Luxor and answered all of our questions. Highly recommend!!

My tourguide and the driver were very professional and passionate. The tourguide was excellent in communication and expert in the Egyptian history. As the price of the tour includes neccessary entry tickets and lunch I think it's a bargain. I recommend this to anyone who's willing to Luxor.

We decided to do this private guided day tour in Luxor and found it to be highly enjoyable. We had an incredibly sweet and well educated tour guide named Angie who showed us around. It was pretty hot on the day we went (even though it was early November) so part of the day was pretty sweaty (especially in Valley of the Kings!). Luckily all of these tours provide you with lots of water, which we so appreciated. Although this tour was amazing, one thing I would say is that, in retrospect, I would have liked to see more tombs/spend more time in the Valley of the Kings as it was truly spectacular. However, this is not something we asked about, and so if you are interested I'm sure you could ask to skip the Alabaster Shop (just a sales pitch), and pay a little extra to see another tomb or two. All in all this tour was great and I highly recommend!

Ahmed did a wonderful job of making our tour enjoyable and knowledgeable. He shared with tips to keep us safe and gave us tips on what to avoid doing so that we were able to successfully avoid the hustle that is everywhere near the temples. He was fully educated in Egyptian history and answered all of our questions.
He went above and beyond in many ways. He provided the suggestion of getting us our tickets for Luxor so that we could come back on our own that night after we had rested. He also went with us to the GoBus station and helped us to buy our tickets (avoiding the hustle of a taxi and any language misunderstanding). He also made himself available after the tour for follow up questions.
We highly recommend booking a tour like this as it provides you with comfort, safety and privacy.
