Excellent choice if you are staying at Hirghada and only have a day to spare to see Luxor.
We were picked up at our hotel in Hurghada by Zak. He was professional and friendly although didn't speak much English.
It was around 4hr car ride to Luxor with a short stop halfway for toilet break coffee etc.
We were joined by our guide Khaled in Luxor and then first saw the Karnak temple. Entry tickets are not included as mentioned in the tour details. The counters accept card or cash. I paid mostly by card and there was no problems.
After this we went to one of PApyrus shops which sells genuine papyrus rather than from banana leaf etc.
Then we took a felucca which is a sailboat across the nile to the West Bank and headed to the valley of the Kings after a stop for lunch which was good. Visit to 3 of the tombs is included and we bought extraticket to see Tutankhamun tomb.
From here we were taken to one of the authentic place authorised to sell Albaster stone products, we had a short demonstration on how it's made and ended up buying a small statue.
Then we went to the Hatshepsut temple and learnt the interesting history behind it. Final stop was colossi of Memnon and finally car journey back to Hurghada.

This is a review for Khaled, the tour guide/Egyptologist that accompanied us during the one day private tour we booked with Albaraa Travel Group. He was brilliant (18 years of experience!), from the moment we picked him up on entry to Luxor until the end. He was very knowledgeable and explained to us every site we've seen. One thing that I appreciated is that from the first site, i.e. Karnak Temples, he explained to us how the day will go: he will tell us the history of places then we will have time for ourselves in order to enjoy them and take photos, then he will tell us how to distract the hagglers trying to sell us stuff - I think that was brilliant because this way we could listen and enjoy the day to the full.
Truly worthwhile and heartily recommend him :).

The Tour drivers picked us up at our hotel at the exact pre-arranged time. The tour bus was very clean and comfortable. Both were very polite, spoke english quite well and drove very safely. Our Tour guide - Talaat - was very professional and interesting. He had planned our visits based on our needs and interests. He re-arranged the visit in the Valley of the Kings and the Luxor Temple so we would not be "baked" by the intense heat. He picked a wonderful restaurant. Highly recommend.

The driver picked us up at Sentido Palm Royale soma bay on time，no extra fee.
It was 5 am，the road was dark and foggy which was hard to drive though，but the driver was really experienced and skilled.There were also lots of check point on the road with many policeman carried firearms which made us really nervous，but the agent and driver could handle all the things（It need your passport photo copy to prepare）.
It took 3 and a half hours to luxor and then we meet our tourguide.He was very polite and kindness，his explanation help us to understand ancient Egypt easier.All the major site in Luxor can be a tour，because it is a private trip，we did not need to share time and space with others.We paid extra lunch in banana island，it tasted good，the boat trip on Nile river was included，we have also play with some lovely animals in the small zoo of the island.
The whole trip ended on 4：30 pm and the driver took us back.It really worth to recommend！
Tips：When you choose your pick up time，it is better to choose as early as possible，then you can enjoy a clean site in the temple.
If you are student，bring your student ID card，all the entrance fee can be discount.
Although credit card and usd can be use，it's better to prepare some EGP，the ATM in Luxor worked not very well.
Please ignore all the local people（even they wear uniform）in the site who seems want to help you ，take photo with you ，sell.thing to you or.lead you to.some sercet room……all they want is your money and their acts were meanness.The tourguide can be trust，tell him you are not interested in shopping，he will understand.
Some site are optional，if you are not interested，you would better let the tourguide know and go straight to the place you want.
早上五点，司机在酒店大堂接到了我们，“私人旅行”意味着阵容为一部轿车，司机，导游和我们夫妻二人。索马湾到卢克索的路并不好走，路况糟糕，清晨能见度不高，以及隔三差五的检查站，有大量荷枪实弹的军警，所以试图自驾游的朋友不妨三思而后行。尽量早一点，可以赶在大巴人潮到来之前游玩景点。卡纳克神庙，国王谷和哈特谢普苏特女王神庙是重头戏，值得仔细赏玩。门票是不包的，自己买也不贵，有学生卡可以半价。午餐包括在费用里，但可以另加每人25美元去香蕉岛上吃，费用包括尼罗河观光船的接送，香蕉岛类似一个农家乐场景，餐食味道不错，有主菜，汤，沙拉和主食（但饮料另外收钱），炸鱼值得推荐。个人觉得这个人均在旅游区是可以接受的。

Our group of 7 took the single day trip to Luxor. Our tour guide, Khaled, was incredible. I cannot speak highly enough of this man! He was knowledgable, efficient, super friendly, and accommodating. He genuinely made the effort to get to know our group to make sure we were maximizing our time where people would be most interested. He let us choose between what experiences/shops were more interesting to us, etc. Beyond his knowledge of the amazing architecture and history, he also understood how to keep us safe and made sure we were all aware and comfortable. The place Khaled took us to eat lunch, Africa, with its authentic cuisine and gorgeous view of the Nile was probably one of my favorite meals of the trip. I wish we had splurged and done more than a single day in Luxor with Khaled -- there is simply too much to see and take in! Thank you Khaled for making our experience in Luxor unforgettable!

The Luxor tour we took was absolutely amazing. We had a group of seven and our guide Khaled was so knowledgeable and made sure we got to see as much as we could with our short amount of time. The temples were beautiful, the lunch was delicious and everything we were taught was just great. I would highly recommend this tour and would advise requesting Khaled if possible! We will certainly be back in the future and hope he’s around to guide us through more of the city!
