Luxor

A really informative and great virtual tour, friendly, knowledgable.

Excellent having a knowledgeable local guide to explain the site. Great postcards, well paced, very enjoyable.

We had an excellent tour with Saffy. Perfect trip for  7 year old who has been learning about Ancient Egypt! Saffy was a fun, knowledgeable, interesting guide. Thankyou! 

Very knowledgeable guide. Now I can see why his tours get booked up so quickly! I’ll definitely be booking on his other tours.......if there is availability of course!

Great tour , Saffy was very knowledgeable and easy to understand. Will definitely be signing up for more of his tours.

Saffy was very knowledgable about the site and the history.  We had the place pretty much to ourselves, which was a huge plus.  Really enjoyed finding out and seeing the history of Egypt.

Wonderful tour.Amazing buildings and statues.The wall paintings have kept most of their colour since that time!

Brilliant! Saffy's tours are always stunning and he is so knowledgeable and engaging.

Saffy is a knowledgeable and interesting guide and I found the tour riveting.  I recommend this tour very highly.

well explained clear language friendly attitude

One of the best tours I have taken with VT!  He is personable, so knowledgeable and a bonus that his English is exceptional. Gave us chances to take beautiful postcards. 

What a lovely tour of such a lovely temple.  Thank you!

Thank you so much. We visited this temple many years ago, so lovely to be able to show our children. Thank you for you expertise and knowledge 

Very knowledgeable and pleasant. Was wonderful to return to that fascinating location after 17 years. I’d forgotten so much. Plus it was wonderful to see all of those delightful, smiling Egyptian faces here and there! Such lovely people.

Saffy was fantastic
So much knowledge
I was there in Egypt..

I have always wanted to see this temple above all others in Egypt, and was trilled to finally do so. Saffy made it come alive, and I cannot wait to see it in person. He truly know the history of his country, and it is an honor to do his tours!

Daffy deserves a 10 rating. That was a university quality tour.

Fantastic to be able to visit Luxor and see it without crowds of tourists! Very interesting and lots of information 

Another interesting and informative tour from Saffy. 

Wonderful tour, thanks Saffy! Learnt so much

He did a good job.   Sometimes hard to understand what he said.   He provided a great deal of history and explanation of the Site 

Really enjoy this tour and commentary. Saffy showed us so much of the amazing hieroglyphics.

Wonderful tour.  My husband and I were there 20 years ago.

Loved this tour and Egypt, very informative 

Well done but I should have studied more about the history before the tour

This is my 3rd trip with Saffy - such a great experience.  He found a wonderful time of day (in the morning) to show us another beautiful place in Luxor!

Very informative and interesting. I love ancient stuff!

Love his tours and the amount of Egyptian history he gives us.

A glorious early morning tour . Saffy very knowledgeable and presented lots of good information. 

Very informative tour... excellent views.

Just excellent! So cool to see the sights! Great info!

A very informative tour around the magnificent mortuary temple of Hatshepsut, with a detailed look at the incredible decoration on walls and ceilings.

What a wealth of information!  Saffy has explored every nook and cranny to guide you through a very memorable experience.  In other words, he knows his "stuff."  Thank you.  PS - Beautiful morning in Egypt!

Great tour. Exceptional use of camera offering many opportunities for postcard pictures. I admire Saffy’s use of a laser pointer. Much nicer than the finger in the picture. Thank you 

very informative and friendly guide. Fabulous to get to see such gorgeous places and get ideas for future holidays. Looking forward to more exploring with Saffy. Thank you

Lovely tour and lots of interesting information.   Many thanks 

Excellent tour! Informative, beautiful, and almost surreal. Thank you, Saffy, for giving us this amazing experience!

Thank you for a lovely early morning tour to find Hatshepsut.  It was lovely to get such a good view of everything with nobody else around, the colours remaining on the walls are amazing. Thank you for so much knowledge too. A fascinating tour.

Very good tour! Stunning temple, art and architecture, well displayed by Saffy. Very informative too, but without boring info being stuffed down your neck!! Recommend highly.

Phenomenal! The topic, the sight, the guide.  Book this tour!


What an incredible tour and guide. He knows so much and shares it all in a conversational way. He answered our questions and is very friendly. Fantastic guide! I’ll certainly take more of his tours. 

Would give this tour 10 stars if I could. It absolutely amazing. Saffy is a wonderful guide and he truly does a great job! Don't miss any of his tours!

Saffy, this was fabulous.  I have suggested to VT that they try (in our wildest dreams) to try a 3D VT.  I would be more than willing to purchase  special glasses ... your tour was excellent, thank you, Shukran x

Always leave Saffy's tours wanting more ( in a good way) - thanks

Wow an incredibly amazing tour with a wealth of history and interest.  Highly recommend

Thank you for a wonderful tour. Such a beautiful place!  Insh'Allah I will visit in real life one day. 

We can see and learn a lot. I really enjoyed this tour as always with Saffi.

A wonderfully informative tour. Thank you for providing such an  interesting tour of a truly magical site.

First time on virtual tours so did not know what to experience. Having studied Egyptology the tour of Hatshepsut a Temple was interesting and enjoyed Saffy’s commentary. Thank you.

Great tour Saffy.  It was my first with you and I hope the first of many.  Very interesting tour, great information, lots of items to research and learn more about your part of the world.  I look forward for more.  Thank you and thank you VT!

This was my first tour with Saffy fabulous tour what a great way to see the sights of Egypt ,Saffy gave us lots of information and lots of postcard opportunities really enjoyed it ,already booked on all his other tours .Saffy and his wife Lesley both give fantastic tours of Luxor area .

I was blown away by my visit to the temple of Hatshepsut today. Saffy was an excellent guide, so knowledgeable and interesting. He took us right up close to all the fascinating hieroglyphs and carvings as well as giving us wonderful opportunities to admire the majesty of this stunning site. I learned lots about ancient Egyptian civilisation and about the life of Hatshepsut. Can't wait for my visit to Karnak temple with Saffy tomorrow. I've always wanted to visit Egypt and these trips are definitely the next best thing whilst we can't travel. Thanks Saffy 

Really enjoyed this you, Saffy. I liked you explaining the hieroglyphs. We went to this temple a few years ago, but saw and learned more from you today.


Excellent tour and so very interesting! Learned a ton!! Thank you so much!

I really enjoyed my tour with Saffy! I could have spent all day there! Wonderful!

Amazing tour with you, Saffy. So interesting & informative.  I look forward to many more with both you and Leslie. Thank you so much.  ( I've just been on the tour through the bizarre with Leslie).

Fabulous, we were shown so much and given lots of details. Loved it! x

Great guide. Knowledgeable and friendly. 

Thank you for a very interesting tour Saffy.

The tour was fascinating.  An amazing site. Clearly Saffy knows a great deal and was keen to share as much as possible, which he did. So his speech was very fast and quite hard to follow, partly because of his accent, partly because of the unfamiliarity of all the names.  Also he sometimes moved the camera a bit fast. And there were quite a few questions he didn’t see, or didn’t answer them, which was a pity. Overall, however, I’m very glad to have seen this place.  Thank you Saffy and Virtualtrips 

Thank you. Very beautiful tour. Packed with fascinating information.  

Brilliant tour! I missed seeing this tomb when we visited in the 1990s as it was too far for me to walk and there was no disabled access then. Will have to go back sometime. Thank you Saffy for a wonderful view of this magnificent tomb and for you boundless knowledge. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour.

This is a mind-boggling experience. We appreciated Saffy's depth of knowledge and the range that he showed us -- the big picture view of the whole temple down to the hieroglyphics.  The history may be detailed for some people, but we thoroughly enjoyed it.

I want to see this one again I was really enjoying the tour but got interrupted halfway through. Very interesting

Thank you so much for a very interesting and  informative tour.    

Fantastic tour with Saffy that was visually stunning. 

Very interesting. Saffy is very knowledgeable. Thank you.

I just love these trips to Luxor with Saffy! You just know that he is a real archaeologist,  as his passion and knowledge of his subject justvshines through. I am booked onto his next tour and cannot wait
