Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor

Our full-day tour of the East and West Banks in Luxor with Access Egypt was nothing short of spectacular, and that is largely thanks to our incredible tour guide and archaeologist, John. If you are visiting Luxor, doing both banks in one day is a whirlwind, but John paced the day perfectly. On the West Bank, he brought the Valley of the Kings and the Temple of Hatshepsut to life. Instead of just rattling off dates, he shared the deep historical context, the politics of the pharaohs, and pointed out incredible, subtle details in the hieroglyphics and tomb paintings that we absolutely would have

Just got back from a two-day tour to Luxor organized by John, we had a wonderful time! John was extremely attentive to our plans and needs, arranging a last-minute pickup from a location much further away from the original plan. Our driver, Sam arrived early and had water and heaps of snacks ready for us. We visited Edfu Temple with a knowledgeable and passionate guide who brought the history alive. In Luxor, we toured Karnak and Luxor Temples, our guide Marian helped us to recreate family photos. On the second day, we added Dendera Temple to the itinerary at the last minute. Sam was always re

Our trip to Luxor was an absolute delight thanks to John. He was very knowledgeable, funny, patient, respectful, helpful, and everything one might wish from a tour guide. His perspective is very interesting and his willingness to go the extra mile is outstanding. I couldn’t recommend a tour with John highly enough, and I’d be truly happy to see him during our next trip to Egypt

Thank you John for a wonderful trip. Highly recommend him as a tour guide. We did the 5 days 4 nights cruise from Luxor to Aswan. John was very knowledgeable and detailed and explained in fluent English the history, the background, the purpose and the similarities as well as differences between different temples and burial grounds. It was a great experience that I would highly recommend. He really went out of his way to make this trip memorable for all the group. Thanks again John.

I have had dozens of tours in almost an many countries, and the tour I had with John was by far the most bizarre and worst tour experience I have had. It started out great. After being picked up from the airport John treated us to dinner. Oddly the driver did not join us, and being asked to tip the driver for waiting for us negated the nicety. During the first day John did well to show us the sites, but I thought that it was odd that he pointed out a hieroglyph by speaking into my companions ear, with a hand on her shoulder. No biggie, some folks are more touchy feely than others. Then the sta

We booked a private tour because my husband has limited mobility. John was flexible and helpful when planning the tour. His explanations during the tour were clear and thoughtful, and he added fun bits of info that made the tour very enjoyable.

Every detail of our time on Luxor, from the punctual, helpful driver to the super knowledgeable guide was a credit to Access Egypt Travel.

Amazing trip. John knew exactly what he was doing, I went with my family and John planned the trip from the moment we arrived to our ride to the airport. We got to see many places, but also didn’t feel rushed. I felt safe all the time with his guidance. Best value for the money we spent which was very reasonable.
