Despite some unexpected challenges with Ramadan-adjusted temple opening times and a few driver hiccups, Yohana handled everything with professionalism and positivity, adapting smoothly so the day stayed enjoyable and stress-free. His kindness, politeness, and attentiveness made me feel well cared for and his extensive explanations brought the temples to life—I would have missed so many incredible details if I was by myself. Dendera quickly became one of my absolute favorite sites in Egypt, and the sunset felucca ride on the Nile he arranged was the special ending. Thank you Nice Tours and Yohana for keeping open communication with the customer and making sure things worked well!

Mina made this day very special. Great guide! he went out of his way to make our trip memorable. He even helped me outside of this tour guide role.
Abu was a fantastic guide! He was very knowledgable and went out of his way to give us lots of information about Egyptian history. He answered my many questions! We felt very well cared for. Highly recommended.
Nelly was absolutely amazing! She knows so much about history and makes every story come to life in such a fun way. Her energy is incredible — she kept us excited and engaged the whole time. We learned a lot and had such a great time with her. Highly, highly recommend her
Booked only the day before, Nice Tours got back to us almost immediately to confirm arrangements, which was very welcome. We were met exactly on time by our guide Gabriel and given water and snacks for the private car journey. During the 1:15 drive to Dendarah, Gabriel was enthusiastic to talk about ancient and modern Egypt, which was really interesting. His tour of Dendarah Temple was excellent. He is clearly very well read and highly experienced; far and away the best tour guide we have had in Luxor. We actually overran the prescribed time by asking questions, but that was never a problem for him. His enthusiasm for his subject is infectious! We found when we got back to the hotel wifi that Nice Tours had checked to see if we had met our guide, which further booked my trust in the company, so we will no doubt use them again. I'd have no reservations in recommending them, and particularly Gabriel, to a friend.
Pola was a very attentive and helpful guide. very interesting and consistent excursion. I would also like to note the very comfortable transport and driver. I will recommend the excursion to my friends!
I had a brilliant day with Pola Salah as my guide, he had so much knowledge and the dendera temple is a must see. The bike felucca ride was also a great experience. The drive was very comfortable too.
We had an absolutely fantastic trip to Dendara, expertly organized by Mr. Androw and the Nice Tours team. They were incredibly accommodating, arranging a late start at 10:00 AM to suit our schedule, which we really appreciated. The entire tour was flawlessly organized – the van arrived right on time, and our guide was exceptionally knowledgeable, providing fascinating insights throughout the trip. We highly recommend Nice Tours for anyone looking for a seamless and enriching experience. A big thank you to the entire team for making our day so memorable!
We had a great trip to Dendara with the very professional guide Mahmoud Haggag. The temple was breathtaking. The driver was professional and accommodated extra stops. Great value for this trip from Luxor.
We spent one of the best time at dendera temple The temple is beautiful and amazing It’s very unique temple we saw the zodiac which explains by our tour guide Mo Highly Recommend to everyone Thanks Mo so much
Mahmoud was the best tour guide we could have asked for! He is so knowledgeable about everything we visited today. His passion for history made for a great tour and kept us engaged the whole time. He was so accommodating towards any needs or wishes we had. Because we were on a tight schedule, he was able to plan everything out accordingly so that we could see all the amazing sights of Luxor. Thanks Mahmoud for making our first visit to Egypt incredible!
Dendera temple was fantastic. It was interesting to know the mixture of ancient Egyptian culture with greek and roman culture:) Mary was a great guide with her deep knowledge and Kamel was a good driver with safe and gentle driving skills. Highly recommend
The tour was concise and straightforward . They arranged my pick up from the West Bank. The guide was helpful and professional. The driver drove us safely to each location. Three of us joined the tour and the company arranged a small sedan for us. The journey tour about 1.5 hour each way.
If you're in Luxor, the Dendera Temple should be a must in your bucket list! It was our last day in Egypt and honestly, it couldn't have been better than this! Our tour guide Majed made everything he could to make us feel happy and comfortable during the visiting. His explanation was so interesting (he developed one of his studies in archeology in that temple) and I couldn't stop making questions during the tour. Also, the driver was good and the trip both ways was smooth. In the end, we had a really peaceful felluca ride (there were only me and my husband, no more turists). The tour operator made sure was everything okay since the moment I booked the tour with them. Rawan was always available and helpful. Thank you a lot, hope to see you next time in Egypt🤞🏽
It was an amazing experience. The Dendara temple is just stunning. A complete MUST when coming to visit Luxor. I would like to specially recommend Aladdin as a guide. He is very knowledgeable, friendly and made us feel very comfortable the whole trip. We learnt so so much and we loved every second.

We had a spectacular trip to Dendera with guide Achmet, who speeks German perfectly understandable and knows absolutly everything about history! Best guide ever! Thank you for a perfect day!
Good tour of Seti I Temple and Osyrion. Squeezing through a tiny hole to see the hidden chambers of the Dendera Temple was a high point!
The Dendera Temple tour was excellent. We had Ahmed Bahaa as our guide. Ahmed, a qualified Egyptologist gave us the best tour in Egypt. Ahmed was highly knowledgable and he explained all the details excellently which made it very easy to absorb. Excellent tour. Highly recommended!
Thanks to Nice Tours for this amazing experience. Visiting the Hathor’s Temple in Dendara was a real pleasure. Suzanne arranged everything for us and coordinated the activities. We got nice goodies as a present from the agency. Our guide Ahmed Yossry explained us everything about the history and the architecture of the site, as well as the religious and cultural aspects related to it. He took us inside and all around the temple, showing us the most interesting details hidden among the different carvings and inscriptions. A special mention to our driver too who drove us safely to our destination and back. The car was very clean and confortable.
Everything was incredible! Our tour guide Ali kept things entertaining for us; he was genuinely excellent; fantastic vibes! He made sure we were all comfort and always asked if we needed anything. I highly recommend this tour; you will not be disappointed.
Very wonderful time. The Egyptologist guide "Said" was fantastic and explained everything in detail. We had a 1 free day in Luxor and to choose this tour was a great choice! We enjoyed every moment, Thanks!
We had a fantastic day with our fantastic guide Ziad! He understands exactly what he's doing and Always make sure you have a wonderful and unforgettable day! Everything is quite nicely organised!
Nabil was our tour guide, and he made this fantastic day out even more unique by paying attention to everything from start to finish. I would highly recommend taking this experience.
Fantastic tour and excellent value for money. The kids (7 and 5) had a great time. Thanks to Kamal, our great guide, for making it such a fun and memorable day for all of us

Amazing!! We loved every part! Mostafa was very knowledgable guide with fluent English. He was super friendly and helped make this Amazing day perfect! Thank you so much!!! 10/10 recommend
The tour is well worth the money. Rahim Ahmed, our driver, met us in the hotel lobby and stayed with us throughout the day. Gamal, our tour guide, spent his time showing us everything and even took lovely photographs of us during the day. It exceeded my expectations. Thank you, Gamal, for this great adventure.
Just a perfect day in Luxor!!!! Our guide Mohammed was a perfect Egyptologist and made these moments unique!
WOW! What a fantastic adventure! Mohammed provided as our tour guide, and I must say, he was fantastic. He knows everything there is to know about Egypt and the temples. His ability to explain things is just remarkable. We spent a great time seeing the temples of Dendera and Abydos. He also has the best photo places (the felucca part is the best!). His photographic abilities were also outstanding. He knows how to take care of Customers.
Our guide Mohammed was amazing! he provided us with deep information about the temples. there was cold water provided as well which is crucial in the heat. The price is worth everything. there was tea and drinks on the felucca. The felucca was really Fantastic!
We had Amir as our guide, and he was really kind and informative. I would highly recommend him. A day to remember, the temples are breathtaking.
The tour was the highlight of our Egypt vacation. Our guide, Ali, was really kind, knowledgeable taught us a lot about Egypt. Aside from that, he was a fantastic photographer and made sure we had a nice time throughout the trip :)
My family and I went to the temple of Dendera and Abydos, where we had two more days in Luxor, so we wanted to seize the opportunity and go to the other temples beside the East and West, so I made a reservation with my family members. The trip started by picking up at 8 am. There was a spacious and air-conditioned car for us and there were plenty of empty chairs, so traveling was not a problem. The guide Ibrahim was wonderful. He gave us some information while we traveled to the temples of Dendera and Abydos. When we arrived, Ibrahim explained the two temples professionally and gave us some advice about living in Egypt. At the end of the day we were returned to our hotel. We had a really great time, thanks to the team :)
We had a wonderful experience in Egyptian history with Mahmoud at Dendera and Abydos temples He explained these temples to us with precision The travel was easy as we traveled in a big and comfortable limousine The driver was friendly, provocative and funny We laughed the whole way and made traveling literally fun. The guide was fluent in English and explained every corner and area of the temple, even the small pieces. He explained it to us. We benefited from the presence of the guide. Advice: Book all your tours with a guide so that you receive all the information easily.
It was a fantastic tour with Mohammed as my tour guide; he was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and friendly; I was overjoyed because I felt like he was a friend rather than an exploitative person like the others; he provided me with a thorough understanding of Egyptian history. Ahmed, our driver, was also excellent; he drove us safely to the temples.
The excursion went very well. The driver picked me up at the agreed time. The Osama guide gave a lot of very interesting information and is a real enthusiast of Egyptian history! I had a bus to catch and the whole team made sure I could have my bus while enjoying all the services it was very nice of them! I recommend this company
