I don't understand how you did it, but the duo that accompanied us yesterday, 20.04.2025, was amazing. Hassan and Mahmud were an amazing duo. We haven't laughed so much in a long time as we did yesterday. Hassan told us many interesting details. Information that we have received from him gave us a completely different perspective on ancient Egyptian history. We really enjoyed it. Katarína and Tomáš from Slovakia.

Bahgat- the guide and Mahmoud the driver, both extremely professional. My experience was fully of joy, knowledge and fun. I shared with then my emotional tears while Bahgat was providing historical information. If you book a trip in Luxor ask for this couple: Bahgat Mahmoud Currently I’m still booking with the company but I doubt that anyone can be as better as they are. Thank you so much for sharing your time, knowledge and dedication, Yil

An absolute must if you're interested in ancient Egyptian history. These temples are spectacular and my guide, who was excellent and enthusiastic young man, explained the complex history of this temples, which stretches to modern times. I will say, I was a bit scared of the driving, which was incredibly fast compared to any other driver I had in Egypt, on the other hand, it was 36°C and he did get us back before the worst of the heat in the afternoon, so whilst terrified, I was happy we missed the blazing heat. It is a long and uncomfortable drive, but I still recommend it due to the sights that you see.
