this is the 2nd day with Gabriel. He provided us with wealth of information regarding the Ramses IV and King Tut's tomb. I was initially not too enthusiastic about Temple of Hatshepsut, but Gabriel told us the COMPLETE story of her since we were in the car, so when we walked to the temple it feels alive. He pointed out so many cook details off the inscription that aligned with the story. I left the temple with great respect toward the queen.

Outstanding, so accommodating highly recommend
The day was so good I really enjoyed our guide Demiana was good and really enjoyed with her
Demiana was a great guide—very knowledgeable and friendly. We really appreciated that she let us enjoy the visit at our own pace without feeling rushed. We had a lovely experience and would definitely recommend her!
Demiana was a lovely guide, very happy and cheerful and you can tell she genuinely loves her job, despite the exhausting heat, she didnt seem bothered at all and gave me the best possible tour of the valley of the kings, Hatshepsut and Menmon. Cannot recommend her enough, she is very informative and easily answered any questions I had. The helpful knowledge of knowing which vendors to avoid certainly helped aswell. 10/10
Very nice experience with demiana who explained us everything with interesting details. We highly recommend her and her nice smile. Thanks a lot ! See you next Time maybe when we will come back for hot air ballon as god told us ahah.
A memorable day. Lots of nice stuff to watch and the guide was very good! Don't miss this!
My guide is Mahmoud Essa, he's very nice & professional,we got detailed explanation, he gave us enjoyed at any moment. Hope be my guide during my next tour. Thank for taking nice photos
The app didn’t let me choose the appropriate tour, me and my friend did the half day tour to Luxor temple and Karnak temple + felucca ride. Our tour guide was Demiana, she was so sweet, available, knowledgeable and she made sure our time in Luxor was amazing! I really recommend this tour and specially with Demiana.
Raymond was great! We had a wonderful time visiting the temples.
This was day 5 of our 8 day tour of Egypt. Up at 4:15 am for our Ballon ride at sunrise. (Must do as it was so surreal and you can see the families working on the crops and view and experience the valley of the kings and other world heritage sites from the air) Then our driver (Mohamed Nour) and the guide Marwa (Fatafect Elsoker) Took us to the west bank to the Valley of the Kings/Hatshepsut temple/Colossi of menmon Then back to the cruise ship at lunchtime to sail to Kom Ombo The balloon ride and organisation was great with breakfast boxes that could feed 2 people in one box along driving and sorting of the balloon ride was seamless. (Which has been the first day on this tour that this has happened) The ride was amazing to experience the Valley of the Kings etc from the air and so clearly. Totally loved it. Upon landing, all be it, a bit unscheduled where we landed, the team was there to take us to the next step/site without hesitation We arrived and our guide Marwa shared her knowledge and local history with us as we moved through the tombs of the valley of the kings. Once she had finished we had free time to explore at our leisure and the other tombs not visit with her. I must say they were outstanding and a must do, it was not super busy so lots of crowd free photos. We were then off to the Hatshepsut temple and the Colossi of Menmon. This is a sight to see, it just leaves you wondering who amazingly skilled and resourceful the Egyptian culture is. Marwa was good and shared her knowledge with us in a professional way that allowed us to absorb the culture. At this point I need to shut out to our driver who shared his knowledge base on areas we went to and allowed us stops to explore and take photos of things we wanted to as we were leaving. Mohamed Nour was humbling and insightful with a clear love for sharing his Egyptian history with us as we drive back to the ship. Thank you for sharing your history with us.
It was really nice, our guide demiana was so kind and she explained everything so well.
Have had a great day visiting and learning about The Valley of The Kings, Hatshepsut and Menmon. From the moment of booking the process has been smooth and well communicated. Our transport was comfortable and air conditioned. Our guide, Alaa Hassan, was excellent!! He was incredibly knowledgeable, spoke very good English and articulated the information really well. Good sense of humour, Alaa certainly enhanced our experience. This was a really good day out for all our family, aged from teenagers upwards. Be prepared with drinks and comfortable clothing, it’s an immersive day and obviously very hot! Thank you Alaa, we really enjoyed your company.
A great day out visiting the Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut. Alaa Hassan was our tour guide and he was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable. He went out of his way to ensure we had the best experience even adding on extra stops. We travelled as a family of 7 and would definitely come back and chose to tour with Alaa again! Thank you!
Fantastic tour of all the main sites of Luxor. Ramez was the best guide. Extremely knowledgeable, pleasant and professional
Spent a great time with our guide Amr Elzen. He is provided clear & detailed guidance to our tour. Driver Mohamed al Araby is polite and nice too. We have an enjoyable time with them.
We want to express our satisfaction with the service of our guide Gabriel, who works for Nice Tour, because despite being bothered by an allergy and a sinus infection, he gave his all! We greatly appreciate his effort, dedication, commitment, professionalism, and the variety of historical details that he shared with us... Once again, thank you very much, Gabriel!
We had Marwa fatafeat elsoker as a guide for the day and had a great experience visiting the different temples.
Gabriel has a wealth of ancient Egyptian knowledge and is a wonderful tour guide. He answered many questions we had and made sure to explain in a way we could understand. We had the best day touring Hatshepsut and Valley of the Kings! 5 out of 5 stars for Gabriel.
Very nice and knowledgeable guide. Very well organised tour. We visited six tombs in Valley of Kings and Valley of Queens and learned a lot about history. Only thing is for us the two stops for buying alabaster products and perfume could be skipped. We would recommend the tour!
Demiana is a fantastic guide. She was very cheerful and enthusiastic about everything on the trip. She was happy and chatty to us for the whole 5 hours and had so much knowledge about all the tombs and temples. Anybody would be lucky to have Demiana as a tour guide
We had a brilliant time with our guide Sama and driver Mahmoud. It was a great day - we saw lots and the guide was very informative. definitely recommend if you’re in Luxor. A great way to see lots in Luxor.
We made this tour through the whole package of the 4 Day cruise from luxor to aswan. This was after the hot air balloon ride early in the morning, so we were kind of tired, but our guide, mohamed, didn't stop to make us laugh. He was very nice, accomodating and joyfull, had good english, and even taught us some egyptian songs !
We had such a fantastic experience as a family visiting Luxor with Mohamed Refaie. One of the best guides we have met in Egypt. A really knowledgeable and professional person. Lunch was also very good. Highly recommended.
Jackie was a wonderful guide through the valley of the kings. She helped us select the best tombs to visit and explained how each one was different and why. Wonderful day learning about the Egyptian history!
Thanks for Marwa!! Good guide!! Everything good helps us so much! Also the driver! He is so kind, I really like them thanks 感谢
We very appreciate the best experience at Egypt with the professional guide and Egyptologist Mo he very helpful and knowledgeable and amazing about the ancient history and culture Very informative and explained every detail about the history
Good guide and explained the places and background and taken around the important places including alabaster stone work place,
Wonderful tour! Out of all the tour guides I had during my trip to Egypt, Nelly was for miles the best one. She’s very attentive to your questions and always makes sure that you get right all the information she provides. Definitely a very professional guide, 100% recommended!
Today we visited Valley Of King, Temple of Hatshepsut and Temple of Karnak with Michael, really organized, passionate and kind. A perfect day trip, highly recommended
We had a great tour with Remon. He timed things well to meet us immediately after our hot air balloon ride to start the tour. He showed us the Colossi of Memnon, Queen Hatshepsut's Temple, and the Valley of the Kings. He was friendly and knowledgeable and helped accommodate us by getting us water and finding us shade for the tour. Would recommend!
We had a very nice trip with Manan today. She told us a lot about the history and old local habits. We were very glad to have spend this trip with her. Would definitely recommend her.
Jackie was our guide. Very knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. We visited 5 sites. Very patient as we took lots of photos.
It was lovely day today with esraa she was good and perfect We did west bank thank you esraa I recommend this tour She explained about history clearly
Great day, extremely knowledgeable tour guide (Mo) answered every question we had and was extremely passionate! Didn’t waste time, spent time talking about areas we were interested in and made sure we got the most from our experience
My review for Nelly (GYGBLH48Q7M4) (there was an issue with the get your guide app and I couldn’t write my review there) Our tour with Nelly was fantastic, alongside our driver Michael. She took us to the tombs and explained the history behind each tomb and their respective kings. We also had a chance to go check out how the stone sculptures and hieroglyphs were made. Nelly was great in explaining the history behind each place we visited and was fun to hang out with for the day, highly recommend her!! Super knowledgeable of the ancient history! She even suggested a temple that was not in the itinerary and it ended up being the best one of the day. Super fun day. Infinite stars!!!
Please come at winter. 😂 I assure you you will enjoy it more. However, these places are amazing. I was going to cancel my last visit (Karnak) because of the heat but thankfully decided not to. I think that Karnak might be one of the greatest temples I have ever seen. Guide Marwa fatafeat elsoker was very nice and attentive. Again, if you do come during the summer, please use lots of sun block and bring extremely fresh clothing! 😅
I would like to commend Majid Hasaan for being such an amazing tour guide! Attentive, interesting and efficient, he made the tour worthwhile without overloading us with information. Thank you for making my dream happen!
Fantastic tour with good information and a/c van. Pick up was on time. Lunch was delicious too! Thank you Astra for being our guide.
Beshoy was absolutely amazing! He greeted us and him and his driver Bola gave us waters and had the car clean and cool. Beshoy’s knowledge of all the spots we visited was remarkable. He was kind, trust worthy and had our best interests in mind. He even took our photos! Me and my husband made a friend today and will never forget our amazing time with them! Made our experience 5 stars!
🇪🇸 Excelente tour guiado por Ahmed Talaat, muy amable, un gran manejo del inglés y de la historia del lugar. Además muy preocupado por nuestro bienestar, dejándonos momentos libres ¡Un imperdible! Fue impresionante 🇬🇧 Excellent guided tour by Ahmed Talaat. He was very friendly, had a great command of English and the history of the place. He was also very concerned about our well-being, allowing us free time. A must-see! It was impressive.
Another great day with Demi. It was hot and she made sure that we stayed comfortable. Also she gave much more information than I heard other guides give. She was very personable and we have had nothing but good thing from Nice tours.
Demiana was a really nice guide, she knows very well the history and was really easy to get her ideas. She left us our time to visit by ourselves the monuments and never be in a rush. The driver was also on time and ready to do all the tour. We learn a lot today.
Majed is the best guide that you can get in Luxor: So inspiring, a great storyteller and you can clearly notice that he loves the Egyptian history and the monuments. We visit the Luxor temple at the sunset time, so amazing! Next day, he guide us through the valley of the Kings (incredible!), Hatshepsut, Memnon, Harnak temple and sailing in the Nile’s river by Felluca. He was so supportive the entire time, a good companion and really friendly! He is the guide that you want to have if you visit Luxor, no doubt!! Highly recommend the tour and Majed as your guide!!
The tour is amazing, our tour guide Christine was a super sweet girl she explained everything very well and clear with patient and passion. We are very happy with the tour will definitely come back❣️
It was a fantastic experience, our guide Mo explained everything to us very clearly and suggested activities that were very worthwhile
Well-structured tours. Everything worked out in terms of time, no waiting times. When was so much to carry to the timeline that you barely had time to take photos very heavy, but it was it was paid.
My wife and I have just returned from a fantastic trip to Luxor from our hotel base in Hurghada. Despite it being a long and tiring day it was well worth it to visit Karnak Temple, Valley of the Kings, Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, Colossi of Memnon and boat trip on the Nile. We booked a private tour and had an excellent tour guide called Mohamed Alazeb who, in the brief time we had gave us lots of interesting information about all the places we visited and he was extremely friendly with a great sense of humour making us both feel really welcome. Mohamed was flexible with the tour which allowed us enough time in each of the places we visited. Thank you Mohamed, we thoroughly enjoyed our day making lots of good memories with our visit to Luxor.
Everything worked excellent. Was picked up right on time. Trip was good, although a bit tough (4 hours). Was met by guide Ahmed and he let us very professionally through all the activities. Very nice day
We went on the half day version of this tour. We had Esree as our guide. She is a wonderful lady who was very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Esree as your guide and Nice Tours as your tour company. Needless to say the Valley of the Kings tombs and Queen Hatshepsut’s temple were amazing.
