Luxor from Hurghada

When we were planning our trip to Luxor from Hurghada, we came across this tour on Viator, and thought it had one of the best descriptions listed with a large but reasonable breadth of activities in a single day. As we were going to Egypt for only a short trip we wanted to have someone who could support our personal interests and help us navigate the Luxor sites all in one long day trip. After booking this private tour for two, the excellent service started with Ahmed from the office pre-arranging our access to the sites, meaning we would have no administration to deal with onsite ourselves. He also thoughtfully suggested that we arrange a box breakfast with our hotel, so that we would not miss a meal. On the day of our trip our polite driver, Mustafa, was right on time at 5:30 with a clean, comfortable and spacious sedan. He picked us up from our hotel, and we got to see the sun rise as we slid down the coast, through a mountainous desert, and into a series of tiny towns along a river or canal down to Luxor. All the way, we got a good and clear education and understanding of local people, activities, architecture and crops. Once in Luxor, we were joined by the amazing egyptologist, Marian, bringing snacks and water, and immediately making us feel well-equipped and ready for the day in Luxor. She answered all of our questions about Egyptian culture and the archealogical wonders with clarity, honesty and humour. She also went above and beyond with pictures and even scents to make sure we had a deeper experience. We visited all the sites listed (Valley of the Kings, alabaster workshop, the Collassi of Memnon, the Temple of Hetshepsut, Karnak Temple), and our trip included a boat ride to lunch, where our meal on Pineapple Island was delicious. As we visited the different sites, Marian gave us short but very clear explanations with historical context about what we would see and what it would mean so that we were always prepared to understand what was next. She took care of managing all ticket and shuttle lines, indicating where toilets or shade were available, letting us relax and just follow her lead. She gaves us opportunities to indicate if we wanted more or less time anywhere and let us decide when we had enough. With Marian's contstant guidance and help, by the end of the tour, we felt we had made a new friend. Whenever we exited a site, our driver Mustafa was always already there, right at the exit, ready to move us in air-conditioned comfort to the next site. At the end of the day, as he drove us back to our hotel, we snoozed on our way home, and were back at our hotel in time for a late dinner. We would highly recommend this tour, and would definitely try to book Marian again, if we needed another Egyptian tour. She and Mustafa made our trip a success.

it was absolutely fantastic!

We took the day trip to Luxor and it was absolutely fantastic! Omar was our guide and he exceeded our expectations. His tour guide skills are fantastic and the explanations are very interactive. We managed to see six tombs in the valley of the kings, queen hatseptshut temple, collossi of memnon, Karnak. On top of this and as a surprise we had a lovely lunch on a felucca. Absolutely fabulous experience. If you get a choice of a guide - ask for Omar.

easy and supportive arrangements made it more than tolerable.

We chose to make this trip from hurghada even though it is 3-31/2 hours trip there and back but easy and supportive arrangements made it more than tolerable. Once arranged we were impressed by the arrangements, the driver Mohamed was spot on at 5.30 and waited patiently at assorted times during the day. He was very pleasant and he coped with the extraordinary erratic driving of others, especially driving in and out of Luxor. Our guide Saami was delightful in her manner, cheerful and engaging. Her knowledge of the various sites was impressive, as was her command of the, sometimes complicated history of assorted pharaohs. She readily answered all questions put to her. She brought the enthusiasm of youth to her role which made her a delight to listen to and to be with as we explored the various sites. She was also very helpful in keeping the pestering hawkers of questionable gifts and mementos of the visit at a safe distance. We have no hesitation in recommending Egypt Tour Portal and the excellent driver and guide who helped make our trip to Luxor a truly memorable experience.

More knowledge transfer,

It was a long day, picked up at 5.30am, but it was worth it. Our tour guide was Mahmoud, great guy, very knowledgeable, very thoughtful. He also has a good sense of humour and is great company. Mahmoud told us to ignore any advances at any of the sights, good advice. Tombs of the Kings: My wife was struggling with her walking due to an accident some months previously, Mahmoud carefully selected the tombs that he thought she could handle, again, good advice. Queen Hatshpsuit Temple: More knowledge transfer, was interesting to walk around. Mahmoud then took us to Artisan potters which was really interesting, we bought a couple of pots but there was no pressure to buy. He then took us for an Egyptian meal which was included in the price and was very good, drinks not included, and only soft drinks. Then a boat ride over the Nile. Karnak Temples: More knowledge transfer, by this time my wife was getting tired, but it was still interesting. Finally a drop off to see the making of papyrus scrolls, again really interesting and no pressure to buy, we did. It is a long day, a flight from Hurghada may suit you rather than a 3-4 hour road trip each way. The Luxor trip is well worth it, and if you decide on the trip, you may be lucky enough to have a guide like Mahmoud, that will certainly help to make your trip more enjoyable. Thank you so much Mahmoud for a tremendous day in Luxor and also a callout for our driver Mostafa who had a very long day.

I wish I had more time in Luxor to drain his brain into mine!

I was paired with the best tour guide in Luxor!Mahmoud was so passionate about ancient Egyptian Civilization and History! He taught me how to read hyroglyphs and learn the names of Kings and Queens. I really felt like I was walking through a time machine. He was so knowledgeable, humble, and kind. I wish I had more time in Luxor to drain his brain into mine!

The Luxor tour with Pharolatin portal and especially

The Luxor tour with Pharolatin portal and especially with our tour guide Mo and our driver Mohsin was great! The organization by email was flexible and everything worked as planned. Mo explained us a lot about the Egyptian history and the specific sites we were visiting (like Colossi of Memnon, Valley of Kings, Hathepsut and Karnak temple). While he was informative he was still fun and open for any question you might have. He was as well very flexible to our needs (spending more time at Valley of Kings with visiting the extra caves). It was a great day, and just could be longer, as he for sure could have showed us more interesting sights if we would have time to stay longer in Luxor ☺️

Wow, we had an incredible trip to Luxor

Wow, we had an incredible trip to Luxor. It was well worth the money. We got picked up from our hotel & our journey was very comfortable there and back. Our tour guide Omar Haridi was great, full of energy & so informative. As an Egyptologist he has all the knowledge and we left feeling super informed. He was so friendly and really made the trip such an experience. The short boat ride along the Nile took us to an incredible restaurant and we had a delicious lunch breaking up the day. Quite amazed how much we got to see in just one day! Very well organised, would go again for sure! Thank you :)

Such a lovely experience from start to end

Such a lovely experience from start to end. Met with our driver in the morning (very punctual with time) with a very comfortable journey to Luxor, arriving by 9.30 where we were met by our tour guide Omar Haridi, an energetic expert in his field, giving us plenty of information about the history of Luxor and Egypt. We fit a lot into one day, Valley of the Kings, Temple of Karnak, Temple of Hatshepsut as well as a lovely short private trip across the Nile to a wonderful restaurant, where they provided us with a platter of great food for lunch (also included). We were also able to tailor our experience if we did or didnt want to visit certain places. Very well priced for what you get in a fully private tour experience.

This tour has been a super special one for both me and my wife,

Every tour leaves behind memories based on what you see, explore, learn and the people you get to meet on this amazing journey. This tour has been a super special one for both me and my wife, since Luxor has been on our travel itinerary for too long and thanks to Egypt tours & our tour guide Nermeena & driver Mohammed who made it all the more special. From the moment we arrived, I knew Nermeena would be great, as she greeted us by name - so personable; a very good sign! Nermeena was knowledgeable, funny, interesting, friendly and the tour was pitched just right and gave the right amount of detail to interest but certainly not bore! Thank you so much Nermeena - you were the absolute highlight of our great trip to your wonderful city of Luxor.

Thanks again Mido :)

We had a very nice trip with Mido aka Bruno Mars (he really does look like him). He was very knowledgeable and we got to know a lot about the history of Egypt and especially The Valley of the Kings. The driver was super reliable and picked us up from our hotel in soma bay as agreed. We also had lunch at a restaurant along the river Nile which was very tasty and also included in our trip. Overall we can definitely recommend the one day trip from Hurghada or Soma Bay to Luxor. Thanks again Mido :)

Ask for her she is the best

Ask for her she is the best. She guided us through the Valleys of the Queens and Kings on our day trip to Luxor. She is an egyptologist by training, a veteran guide and a very kind person. She made our trip smooth and effortless.
