Assan was a very good guide! Best in Luxor
An excellent experience in Luxor with the guide Amr Alzen. I recommend it to everyone.
Salma khairt is a perfect guide, very good! I recomend
My wife and I had a very enjoyable tour experience in Luxor. We were picked up by a private driver and brought around all the incredible sights and attractions throughout the city. Our tour guide, Momo, was outstanding throughout the entire tour. He was extremely informative, friendly, and always willing to help. His knowledge of the museums, temples, and history of Luxor made the experience much more enjoyable and memorable for us. Momo made us feel very welcome and comfortable during the tour, and we would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Luxor. Thank you again for such a fantastic experience!
Our day in Luxor visiting Karnak and Valley of the Kings far exceeded our expectations. Dr. Salma was an incredible guide. Her expertise in Egyptology is second to none and she speaks like a native English speaker. We had great guides at other sites but she was by far the best. I would recommend taking this tour with her and coming with plenty of questions, she will have the answers! She also went above and beyond to help care for one of our group members who was feeling unwell and kindness like that cannot be forgotten. Thank you Nice Tours for matching us with Dr. Salma!
The MS Plaza Nile was a very comfortable and elegant boat. With great food and friendly and helpful staff. We enjoyed all the tours and the guides were helpful, friendly and flexible. Thanks in particular to Ahmed Eltayeb.
Michael Edward was amazing! He's a really good, nice, and talented guide. 100% recommendable.
Mina was very professional and on time. He took lots of time to answer our questions.
3 day Nile cruise was great experience. Nice tour had great communication throughout the trip with quick response to questions. The cruise was outdated for deluxe cruise but the stafff and food was great. Abu Simbel was the highlight with Ramsey temple built in the mountain. Momo our tour guide in Luxor was very knowledgeable and spoke very well English. Adam the driver was on time for pick up and drop off. Nice tour was able to reschedule hot air balloon ride since it was canceled due to weather (must do do in Luxor). We will definitely recommend nice tour to family and friends.
We thoroughly enjoyed the cruise. The ship and all staff were excellent. Our guide for the tours on the first day was called Mina Abdrabou and he also excellent. He was very helpful, enthusiastic and knowledgeable and without his guidance we could not have fitted as much into the day.
Manal was a really good guide. Even though we had a packed schedule, she made the experience as calm and informative as possible.
Our guide Mina has been very attentive throughout the tour. He was also very knowledgeable about Egyptian history and would also answer any questions related to that with clear and precise answers. He made our day very enjoyable.
Manal teaches us so good about Egyptian history. She’s very nice and convinient!! We loved our tour guide 🙏🏼 Thank you Manal for making this tour so wonderful.
Our tour guide for valley of the kings and Karnak temples was Manal, she was amazing, very good knowledge and very sweet person, we had a great time in her company.
Overall tour was very organized under smooth operation. Daily schedule had been constantly updated through WhatsApp in timely manner. Our tour guide, Raymond was very friendly and gave us a good understanding to historical aspects. One unfortunate thing was that we would not do balloon tour due to weather conditions but couldn’t get any refunds.
We booked a 2 Night Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor using company Nice Tours. In early December 2 weeks before our holiday, they cancelled the tour without any explanation. Worse still, they are continuing to advertise the cruise but at more than double the price we paid back in July. And we are now left stranded a few days before travel trying to find alternative. But since it's so close to the holiday all prices have increased. The booking was made through Tripadvisor and Viator. I am based in the UK and this is false advertising under UK consumer protection and breach of contract law. Nice tours are running a scam. Clearly cancelling those booking that were made at an early cheaper rate in favour of those that are willing to pay more closer to the date.
Today we went with Jackie to valley of Kings and her recommendations were great. RAMSSESES V & VI tumb is the best. I learn a lot.
We did a 3-day Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor and it was the highlight of our trip to Egypt. Everything was very well organised, comfortable and safe, and we visited all the main archaeological sites along the way. The absolute highlight was our private guide in Luxor, Mohamed Refaaie. He guided us through the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, Karnak and other sites, explaining history in a very clear and engaging way. He was friendly, patient and happy to answer all our questions. You can really feel how passionate he is about his work. We left with unforgettable memories and we highly recommend this experience – especially a private tour with Mohamed in Luxor.
Along the tour, guides and cruise staff are very helpful and sweet. BUT, terrible terrible organization. Nothing happened on time as planned before. We always got late. We even have to skip the visit to Edfu Temple. Our luggages got lost during pick-up. The cruise boat is not a 5-star boat like it seems on the photos.
Disappointed for no balloon, said got no flight permission. Anyway, partially refunded for the balloon. All good for the rest
We took the 3 day cruise with Nice Tours from Luxor to Aswan. The ship was great. Clean and very good rooms would recommend getting a SIM card before the cruise because internet is extra But the activities can improve a lot in the coordination - For the balloon ride, they told us to be ready at 5am but picked us up at 5.30 and made us wait in a van for more than 40 minutes to then say the flight is cancelled because of the weather - Little time for visiting temple of Karnak. The guide George was great but took us to 2 places that were not in the schedule and were ment for us to buy stuff (stones and oil) both stops took about 45 minutes each and at the end we had to run through Karnak Temple because we didn’t have enough time - Hours temple was great tour guide very knowledgeable but again little time to explain and explore - Kom Ombo. Crocodile temple. Tour Guide was in a rush and didn’t take the time to explain things properly . He would make the explanation showing a picture and not in the real wall because there was “too many people” - For Abu simbel they were supposed to pick us up at 4am and ended picking us up at 6am (2 hour delay at this time in the morning can make children very angry and really ruins the day) Finally as a recommendation. Would be good to have more communication from Nice tours before the trip as I didn’t know what to expect and even thought it was a scam until the day before departing because of th little responses I got
Brilliant trip in Luxor. Our guide was Mohammed Refaie. He is a brilliant guide. Very knowledgeable and informative. Friendly also. I would highly recommend. If I am ever in Luxor again I will be sure to ring Mohamed. 5 stars!
Vert good expérience with SARA. She explains a lot of things and WE enjoy to visit with her. Sara is very intelligent guide and she only wants WE are free to ask questions and she answers.
Great experience. The boat was nice and the workers were kind and always smiling. Some organizational hiccups, but overall an enjoyable experience.
Ahmed & malak were fantastic tour guides who took us through the history of Abu simbel. It was a great experience altogether.
The whole trip was wonderful. Nice tours ready to find a solution to your needs. Guides and drivers are helpful and punctual. Operators available 24/7 The itinerary is well thought and at a good price. Cruise chosen; nile Jewel is amazing. Amazing crew . Nile experience is a must.
Got a friendly guide. Nice people around. Had great time visiting temples around Luxor. Valley of the kings was a good experience but weather was too hot. Make sure you pack some Water and snacks. Very expensive to buy around temples.
Our first day in Luxor with Raymond was great. He was very knowledgeable and efficient at getting us round, despite it being very hot and busy!
Everything in the tour was accomplished. However, the low rate is due to the lack of communication on a timely manner and the messy experience. There are a lot of different people involved and some were good but others were careless with the tourist. Great service from the team in Luxor, specially our guide Salma. She is very knowledgeable and friendly. Excellent English! Nice tours, please improve your service, communications and logistics to be excellent.
The tour was great. Our tour guide Demiana was the best and I highly recommend her for your next tour. She explains everything great a with a smile. She’s really helpful and gives you time to enjoy it too.
Esraa was amazing tour guide through Luxor we had a great experience for all the temples and she was so knowledgeable for all our questions. Thank you so much!
Jackie's guide was incredibly detailed, easy to understand, and truly educational. I came knowing very little about Egypt, but I learned so much. She was also very flexible with the schedule, which I really appreciated. I would love to have Jackie as my tour guide again when I visit Egypt next time.
Jackie was a very kind and knowledgeable guide. We had a fun day touring Luxor including valley of the kings, Luxor temple, and Karnak
Gabriel was an excellent guide, very friendly and passionate. He explained the whole history clearly and with great enthusiasm, which made the visit truly interesting and enjoyable. Highly recommended!
Had a wonderful time with Jackie! She was very informative about the Egyptian history, and provided a laugh for the whole group! Would definitely recommend 🤎
Today we visited the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Karnak, and the impressive three-level Temple of Hatshepsut with Ramón. He took us everywhere in a very organized way, explained every detail clearly, and was always very kind. An excellent and highly recommended experience!
I had a great experience with Fathy, my guide in Luxor. Communication with Nice Tours was excellent and they arranged everything and kept me in the loop. My balloon tour was cancelled due to weather, but I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Absolutely amazing time with Eshak he is so knowledgeable. I was actually sick whilst on his tour and he did everything he could to help me and check in on me to ensure I got what was needed. If you get the chance to do this tour with him you will enjoy. Also helps with advising and guiding tipping and Egypt ways which is very helpful! Thank you
Good guide except for the company. Company reaction was horrible but guide himself was great. His name is esshak. The best guide I met in Egypt.
The niel cruise was so beautiful and the boat amazing. The only negative was that we went from luxor to aswan. It would have been better the other way around. As karanak temple in luxor is by far the most impressive. So the other temples seemed a little underwhelming when we started out with something so big and grand. But all in all a wonderful tour
Gabriel was our tour guide during the cruise and he was amazing! The explanations were spot on and he was extremely kind. Thank you Gabriel! The cruise was not 5* and was quite old: if not for the amazing tours you would be better off booking a cruise from booking.com. Once again, the tours during the days we were with this company made it worth it though.
This is a private tour, so you can see the main temples of Luxor at your own pace. You'll enjoy historical commentary and conversation with your tour guide. Our guide Nilly told us lots of stories, he is young, passionate and amazing. It’S hot so bring a lot of water.
Demiana was my tour guide for Luxor she knows a lot of history and explains everything into detail … her English is so well spoken and she takes the time to explain the whole history of temples and gods … I really enjoy this tour a lot … She is amazing if you can request her as your tour guide it won’t disappoint you !!!
It was amazing! I really hope come back again! And our guide MeDO was the best! He helped us with everything we needed. I really recommend this tour. The food in the cruise was excellent too! Thanks for everything!
I had an amazing time exploring Egypt with Gabriel as our guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much detail at every site we visited like Edfu Temple, Kom Ombo and Abu Simbel, Gabriel explained the history and meaning behind everything in a way that was both clear and really engaging. You could tell he was passionate about Egyptian history, and that made the whole experience even more special. On top of that, Gabriel is just a genuinely kind and thoughtful person. He always made sure we were comfortable, answered every question with patience, and made the trip feel smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. I’m really grateful for everything he did to make this journey unforgettable. If you're planning a trip to Egypt, you’ll be in great hands with Gabriel.
I had an amazing experience touring with Gabriel as our guide. He explained the story and significance of every temple we visited in great depth, showing not only his vast knowledge but also his passion for Egyptian history. We explored several incredible sites including Edfu, Kom Ombo, and the majestic Abu Simbel, and Gabriel brought each one to life with detailed, engaging explanations. Beyond being an excellent guide, Gabriel is a genuinely kind and thoughtful person. I’m deeply satisfied with the experience and truly grateful for all the effort and care he put into making our trip memorable. If you’re planning a trip through Egypt, I wholeheartedly recommend Gabriel as your guide!
We had a great tour guide named Adam in Luxor who made the experience unforgettable. They were incredibly informative, sharing fascinating historical insights at every stop. Their engaging storytelling kept us interested and brought the ancient sites to life. What a blast we had learning so many new things! Would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to learn everything and more about ancient Egypt.
Our first time in Egypt and we had the pleasure of touring Edfu, Kom Ombo, and Abu Simbel with Gabriel, an incredible Egyptologist guide. His deep knowledge and passion for ancient Egyptian history truly brought these iconic sites to life. He explained the significance of each location with such clarity and enthusiasm, making the experience both educational and unforgettable. He also made sure we were comfortable throughout the trip, offering insights into both the historical context and the unique details of each temple. His expertise in Egyptology was evident, and we left with a much deeper appreciation for Egypt's rich history. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore Egypt's wonders with an expert guide!
We went a 2 night cruise along the Nile River,it was a very cultural experience our guide Gabriel was very nice person explaining evything we were visiting. The all temples were amazing and the hot balloon experience was unforgettable. The boat itself was not the best, the say it is a deluxe 5 star but it is Not, believe me however it was fine for what it was.
