Reviews
Luxor and Aswan with Hany — highly recommendedTravel4us-Sea
Our time in Luxor and Aswan with Hany was exceptional. He was knowledgeable, patient, and clearly proud to share his country's history. He brought the temples and tombs to life with stories you won't find in a guidebook, handled every logistic smoothly, and made sure we were never rushed. Hany turned a great itinerary into a personal experience. If you're visiting Luxor or Aswan, ask for him.

Great tour guideTravel14488964747
We had such a wonderful experience with Hani.
From the beginning, everything felt easy and well taken care of. Hani is incredibly knowledgeable, but what really stood out was how natural and comfortable he made the whole experience feel. It never felt like a “tour,” more like being shown around by someone who genuinely cares that you’re enjoying your time.
He paced everything perfectly and was very thoughtful about how we moved through each site, which made a huge difference. We always felt relaxed, never rushed, and able to really take everything in.
He’s also just a lovely person to spend time with. Warm, kind, and very easy to talk to. The kind of guide you’d feel comfortable recommending to close friends or family without hesitation.
This was one of the highlights of our trip, and we’re so glad we had Hani with us.
Highly recommend.

Great tour guide in Luxor200eugenia_
Hani is the best Tour Guide you can wish for! So much knowledge about the Egyptian 🇪🇬 history and culture! This tour was the highlight of my trip in Luxor, highly recommended! May I add, the best photographer as well!
Mr. Hany was wonderfulX3232HQjoyces
We were fortunate to have Mr. Hany meet us in Luxor as our guide for the rest of our Egypt trip. He was wonderful. He and his driver met us at the airport and took us to the ship for our Nile Cruise. They got us settled and then took us to all the sites in the surrounding areas. Hany stayed with us on the cruise and toured with us to the temples and sites along the way to Aswan. He was always very knowledgeable about the history and highlights of each stop. He was always concerned for our well being. He accompanied us to the airport in Aswan and we flew to Abu Simbel for a few hours and then flew back to Cairo then home. Hany was great.
Happy family.guillermomD1286UG

Amazing 2 day tour in LuxorNoorV68
We had the absolute pleasure of spending two days in Luxor with Haney from Luxor Visits, and he was truly outstanding. From the moment we met him, his passion for Egyptian history was infectious. At Karnak Temple and the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, he brought the stories of the ancient world to life with such enthusiasm and detail that it felt like stepping back in time.
Haney also guided us through the Valley of the Kings, where his descriptive explanations and deep knowledge made the experience unforgettable. What stood out most was how much he genuinely cared about making sure we had the best possible time—he always went the extra mile to ensure we were comfortable, engaged, and enjoying every moment.
If you’re visiting Luxor and want an incredible, knowledgeable, and passionate guide, we cannot recommend Haney highly enough. He made our trip truly special, and we’ll always remember our time with him.
Thank you so much Haney!
-Noor and family.
