Laila Salah- best guide for your Luxor trip

We went on a private tour from Hurghada to Luxor and had Laila Salah as our guide in Luxor, and it was an absolutely amazing experience. Laila is the best guide ever! Her English is excellent, she is very polite, and she takes wonderful care of her guests from start to finish. She has an impressive knowledge of Egyptian history and explains everything clearly and with great passion. Laila is very well educated, professional, and friendly, which made the whole tour both interesting and comfortable. You will not regret it if you ask for Laila as your guide – we highly recommend her!

Great, pure culture.

Everything worked out great. It was all very impressive. Beware of the shopping stop. Gladly inform about prices for stoneware at bazaars before buying from the alabaster man.

It was a...

It was an eventful day in Luxor, with a very well informed guide (Ali). The tour was well organized, the bus to Luxor should have been even more comfortable (seat spacing and filling level). Somewhat disturbing are the additional costs, which were not transparently stated before booking. All in all but a wonderful day, recommendation!

Amazing day out

Incredible day out, we learned so much and it was rammed with things to see and do. I would highly recommend this trip, especially if you get Laila as your guide!
