Discovering Egypt

Pamela_T, Apr 2024

We booked this tour and it was a very good experience. We requested a Spanish speaking guide and they were able to arrange. Zacarias was an excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable and provided very clear explanations and answered all our questions.

The tour guid, Valid, was...

sehrestan, Oct 2023

The tour guid, Valid, was so patient and great at explaining about the Temples. I took 2:30pm tour and luckily watched the sunset in Luxor Temple. It was picturesque.

Karanak and luxor temple . Best tour

Bhumi_P, Oct 2023

Punctual came on time to pick up us. Rayna was so amazing, with good communication, super knowledgeable. She explained all in detail and great pace did not rush us through our tour. She took our great picture on perfect location which made our tour memorable. Also advised where to buy high quality artwork and necklaces in cheaper price. Very satisfied with my tour I highly recommend Rayna.

Great tour with a great guide

Lance_S, Oct 2023

Our tour guide Rania made this experience amazing! She was so informative and did a great job engaging our three teens/tween. Karnak and Luxor temples are not to be missed. Our driver, George, was extremely professional.

Courteous and Informative. Definitely recommend!

Jeanne_M, Oct 2023

I booked this tour last minute when I realize that a guide is definitely needed as a solo traveler. My guide reached out to me to let me know that we should start the tour later to beat the heat, and I am glad we did. This gave us the chance to make it to Luxor temple at sunset and then see it in the evening when it is lit up. I made a friend the day before flying in from Cairo and I asked if she could join the tour the day of. They graciously added her on and even picked her up from the airport before getting me! We felt safe and received lots of detailed information on the sites that remind us all that the ancient Egyptians were people just like us with beautiful stories. We were also given free time for pictures just how we wanted!

Definetely worth it

Thomas_R, Sep 2023

Interesting tour with a very experienced guide, who also know where to take the best shots with light and positions. We learned a lot and enjoyed the experience. The car for the trasfer was very clean and they offered us fresh bottle of waters during the your to alleviate the hot sun. For the best experience I recommend to go around 15:00 to enjoy the sunset on the Luxor Temple.

Best tour guide of the whole holiday

mark_s, Aug 2023

Fantastic trip from start to finish, Walid was a mine of information and knew all the best spots to get photos from Can’t recommend him enough

I enjoyed the tour very...

Hinako_Y, Aug 2023

I enjoyed the tour very much. My guide was knowledgeable as she has a master degree in the related field and I was able to get so much information that I would not be able to get if I went there by myself.

Sunrise tour of Karnak

Steven_O, Jul 2023

A Stunning tour ! Thanks to Walid, my guide, for meeting me at the train station at 6:30am! Walid was so intelligent and was able to answer any question I had. I was in awe listening to him talk about kings and the temples. He is also a great photographer! This was a brilliant tour , a fantastic experience.

Loved every minute!

Laura, Jun 2023

We absolutely loved the comfort and ease of this tour! Our guide was super knowledgeable and fun, the car was immaculate and comfortable, and our driver was careful and attentive. We were able to begin early, miss the crowds, and wander through both temples and the Avenue of the Sphinxes at our leisure. Our wonderful guide also took me to a couple of stores afterwards so I could buy spices (which she helped me pick out!), and our driver returned to our hotel later to take us to the airport. Overall, it couldn't have been better. Excellent information and even better company!

Fantastic Tour

Sue_T, Jun 2023

Had a wonderful tour of Karnak and Luxor Temples with Walid. He met us at our hotel and took us first to Karnak. So knowledgeable and a lovely person. Very much enjoyed our tour of Karnak which is just amazing. We were then taken to Luxor Temple and Avenue of the Sphinxes . Another amazing place and a fantastic tour by Walid. We learned so much and Walid guided us so well we got to avoid most of the crowds! A very enjoyable morning and Walid and his driver were a delight!

Highly recommended

Velgia_K, May 2023

Walid is an excellent guide. He is clearly passionate about his work. He is kind and gave us plenty of time to explore and ask questions. We learnt so much on our tour and saw so many intricate carvings that we would not have seen on our own. Highly recommended

Worth it!

Geoffrey_C, Apr 2023

Awesome knowledgeable guide with extensive detail in history. Well worth the money and time. Even stopped afterwards for local food.

Great tour, very informative

Jennie_J, Apr 2023

Marian was an excellent and incredibly knowledgeable guide. We learnt a lot from her. She bought the history to life.

Karnak and Luxor temples.

Jean_G, Apr 2023

Our guide was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable about the temples. He was also an excellent photographer and took great pictures - highly recommend.

Great experience to Karnak and Luxor temples

Gautam_H, Apr 2023

An excellent and memorable visit to the two landmark sites in Luxor. Our guide Walid was an absolute gentleman and showed just the right amount of earnestness in explaining stuff and gave us the space to explore on our own. There was no attempt to take us to any shops to buy stuff (rather refreshing from the other tours). I would definitely recommend this company and especially Walid as a guide for your visit to the temples in Luxor.

Walid was great!

Yunus_N, Mar 2023

Overall, my visit to Karnak and Luxor Temples was an unforgettable experience, and I highly recommend these landmarks to anyone who loves history, culture, or just breathtaking architecture. And if you're lucky enough to have Walid as your tour guide, you're in for a treat!

Nice tour of Luxor temples

Robert_P, Mar 2023

Our guide, Mr. Walid was excellent during the entire tour having a lot of knowledge about Egyptian history. He picked us up from our hotel and then we went to Karnak temple which was quite crowded during the day, but Mr. Walid helped us to navigate the temple and find less crowded spots to take photos and enjoy the tour. Afterwards we went to Luxor temple just around the sunset time and we spent some nice time there, having the opportunity to see the temple both during the day and after the sunset. During our stay in Egypt we booked tours from different operators, but I can definitely say that this was one of our best experiences.

Beautiful Luxor tour with fantastic guide

anublues, Feb 2023

Everything was perfect. Mr. Walid was an excellent tour guide who has a very good knowledge of Ancient Egyptian history and his whole approach to the tour was very pleasant and friendly. He picked us up from our cruise right on time and in a very comfortable van. On the way to Karnak temple he gave us the whole agenda and kept asking for our preference. Everything was so smooth from start to finish and we felt like we are doing this tour with a friend whom we know for a long time. Thanks Mr. Walid for an amazing experience.

Personal tour

Simon_B, Feb 2023

Walid was an excellent guide and even as we have been frequent visitors to the sites managed to find quiet areas and different stories and explanations . Walid always found the quiet areas to go to in the very busy sites.
