Amazing tour
JESHURUN_K, Sep 2023
Loved, loved my visit to the Valley of the Queens and the Habu Temple. The sights were just amazing with spectacular history! Our guide was excellent and i would certainly recommend this tour.
Nope.
maryann_m, Jun 2023
The tour was not well guided or explained; conditions are harsh. English guide was difficult to understand and could not answer most questions outside of the rehearsed script. As females get solicited more in Eygpt, I expected the tour guide to be protective of his customers- he was useless. They try and force extras into the itinerary to get you to spend money so you need to be firm that you don't want their stops for bad restaurants and scam shops.

One of my favorite trips in Luxor, a must-see! My lovely tour guide (I'm so sad I forgot his name - Ash I think!) was amazing so informative. Very kind to my mother who felt a bit unwell. The tombs and temples were out of this world, beyond comprehension and worth every penny.
Worth the visit!

Moses was by far the best guide we had our entire time in Egypt. These places are less-visited, but they are honestly just as incredible. Thank you for the great trip!
Don't miss it if you have the time!

We were in Luxor and had already been to the Valley of the Kings so we wanted to visit a new site and found this tour -- we were really glad we did! The Valley of the Kings is quite amazing of course, but the Valleys of the Queens and Artisans is really special. Our first stop was at the Valley of the Artisans. There were very few tours there and we practically had it to ourselves. The tombs were built by the workers who made the Valley of the Kings but they were made for themselves, the artwork and detail is really good. The tombs are relatively small and you need to watch your head and be comfortable with stairs and narrow passages to enter them, but we loved how accessible it felt and how much more intimate it was than the bigger tourist attractions. And the artwork is amazing! From there we visited the Valley of the Queens and the main tombs there. They are really nice -- not as big or as intricate as the Kings ones but nice. Queen Nefertari's tomb is the big attraction here though -- it's quite expensive which is a surprise. Entry into the Valley of the Queens is only 100 EGP but entry to Nefertari's tomb is purchased separately and is 1,400 EGP alone! And your time in the tomb is restricted. If you can afford it though it's a must-see. The restoration of the tomb is thorough and it is considered by many (including me and my mom) as the best of the Egyptian tombs. The colors are vivid and the artwork and stories are wonderful. After the tombs we stopped at Habu temple. It's also a great site -- really nice and a huge temple. We were surprised at the size of it. Walid was our tour guide and we were very pleased to have him. I'd suggest asking for him if you have the option -- we did three tours through Viator while in Egypt and he was the best of our guides. He enjoyed what he did, didn't rush us or try to sell us things, and had great stories to tell!
Very Thorough Tour

I had the best time with Hesham, who is a very informative guide. He took me around at a very good pace, relaxed but thorough. Really great company who allowed me to add on a few other stops like the Tombs of the Nobles to complete my West Bank tour.
Egyptologist ALI was excellent
Marcus_R, Mar 2020
A perfect tour with excellent driver and expert guide ALI who is so very knowledgeable I shall use his services again without fail.
Very informative and beautiful.

Our guide gave us sooo much info it was soo great. I literally forgot his name but the man came from Alexandria that morning to be with us all day and was such a trooper. He really was awesome!
On prend le temps, c'est magique
