Very interesting day trip in the Valley of Kings near Luxor..Barry our tour guide has a Masters in Egyptology and gave an insightful deep dive into ancient history. The details provided on the paintings and carvings of the temples and tombs was very interesting. The temples were stunning. So impressive to see how well they have survived over thousands of years. The lunch in Carter's restaurant was very good, with vegetarian options. Plenty of beautiful photo opportunities Thank you Barry!!

We started early with a 6am pickup. Our guide, Barry, communicated clearly the night before on the time, the vehicle, and the driver. The driver, Hassan, was friendly and pointed out local items of interest on our way to pick up Barry on the way to the West Bank of Luxor. Barry asked what we wanted to see, gave suggestions and then immediately adapted the tour to fit our interested, the heat, and the crowds. Barry had a wealth of knowledge to share and welcomed questions relating to what we saw. I booked the experience that did not involve them buying tickets and that was no problem, Barry helped me know what to buy and even checked that the specific tombs were open complete and worth the cost instead of being partially closed as sometimes occurs. All in we were together for about six hours and I could not be happier with the experience with Barry. He asked if there was more we wanted to see but we were satisfied with our morning experience before the sun was cooking any more. Highly recommend that you ask for him when booking. 10/10 would do it again with the power team Barry/Hassan.

Mohamed, a very friendly and accommodating French-speaking guide, discreet, professional, and very dedicated. Essential for this type of visit; the driver is also perfect with a nice air-conditioned and comfortable car, good driving, and considerate. The lunch was excellent. However, we were very hot at the sites.
