The lunch break came at the perfect time to recharge

5.00We did the tour and the lunch break was perfectly timed.We were getting tired and hungry just as we arrived at the restaurant. The food revived us for the afternoon sites. The experience was well-phased. The meal was included and tasty. We had a full hour to eat. The atmosphere was casual and refreshing. Not a crowded restaurant. The Bastet Travel guide joined us, which was nice. Best for people who need a proper break to recharge.
A private tour meant we could ask anything anytime

5.00We were glad we chose a private tour with Bastet Travel over a big bus.At Hatshepsut's Temple, we could ask about specific carvings without delaying 50 people. The experience felt exclusive and responsive. All fees were included. We spent a full hour without being herded. The atmosphere was more relaxed. We avoided the largest bus groups. The guide was ours alone. Best for travelers who dislike the herd mentality
Ancient graffiti on the Colossi connects you to past tourists

5.00The history of graffiti at the Colossi is interesting.Our guide pointed out ancient Greek and Roman inscriptions on the statues' legs. People have been tourists here for millennia! The experience connects you to past travelers. Admission included. A ten-minute stop is enough to see this. The atmosphere is one of shared human curiosity. Many miss the graffiti. Our Hurghada Tours guide showed us. Best for travelers who feel a connection to past tourists.
Walking the sphinx avenue into Karnak sets the stage

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00I went primarily for Karnak and was not let down.The avenue of sphinxes leading to it sets the stage. Our guide explained they connected Karnak to Luxor Temple. The experience starts before you even enter. Admission gets you down the avenue. You need the full two hours. The atmosphere is processional. Crowds walk the same path. The Bastet Travel narrative began right there. Best for those who love a grand entrance.
We returned tired but deeply happy and accomplished

5.00We ended the tour tired but incredibly happy.We'd seen so much, learned even more, and were comfortably returned to our Hurghada hotel. The experience was complete and satisfying. Every admission was covered, every promise delivered. The visit lengths were perfect to fill a day. The atmosphere was one of accomplishment. Crowds were part of the journey. The staff from Bastet Travel earned our full recommendation. Best for anyone wanting a definitive, one-day Luxor experience from Hurghada.
A quick stop to view the Theban Mountains was majestic

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00The view of the Theban Mountains from the West Bank is stunning.Our guide from Hurghada Tours stopped the van for a moment so we could take it in. The experience blends nature and history. No admission for a viewpoint. Just a minute of appreciation. The atmosphere is majestic. The driver was happy to pause. His willingness to add these moments was appreciated. Best for those who love landscape as much as monuments.
A wonderful blend of nature and culture

5.00Our group travelled to Luxor in comfortable vehicles with picturesque views along the way. Guide Hoda explains patiently throughout and tells us the stories behind each attraction in fluent Chinese, giving us a deep sense of ancient Egypt's glorious history. Especially the balloon ride overlooking the whole of Luxor was truly unforgettable. This trip is a perfect combination of cultural exploration and natural beauty and is worth experiencing for everyone.

5.00With Osama as a guide, the visit to Luxor became truly special. His knowledge of Egyptian history was impressive, especially in Karnak. The private trip offered comfort, while the visit to the alabaster plant was a pleasant addition to our day.

5.00This day in Luxor was amazing! Our fantastic guide, Amro, took us on a journey through time visiting the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut and the Colossi of Memnon. He was very knowledgeable and explained the story with such passion and clarity. The visit to the alabaster factory was also fascinating! It was a unique experience, with breathtaking scenery and lots of culture. I highly recommend this adventure!
