Excellent. Definitely recommend
A fantastic experience, the culture, the tombs all their history, the guide who accompanied us made this experience even more interesting and to finish a refreshing tour of the Nile
My tour guide Roshdy Khodary was very knowledgeable and had a good balance between showing me round the sites, then giving me time to walk around the site on my own. We started at Karnak temple where Roshdy explained everything very clearly. It then meant when we went to the other sites, I knew what I was looking at in terms of symbolism and key markings.
We had an amazing experience going back 3000 years in history. Our tour guide Mohamed was certified guide who was excellent explaing all the sites we visited.
I had an absolute pleasant and extraordinary discovery day with Hassan. Very clear explanation, interesting shopping stops with refreshments and some fun. I definitely recommend his tour.
Our guide Roshdy Khodary was perfect. Kind, efficient, competent. He toured us around Luxor’s ancient temples explaining their history in a very interesting and knowledgeable manner. Highly recommended!
The tour and tour guide, Khaled, were fantastic! Khaled was extremely knowledgeable, and we learned so much. The best part was the Temple of Hatshepsut. Would highly recommend the tour and Khaled as your guide.
Great experience. The place is very nice and very well maintained. Egyptian food is delicious and the people there are friendly and welcoming.
Our tour in Luxor was fantastic from start to finish! Roshdy Khodary is a wonderful guide — very kind, knowledgeable, and with the perfect balance between historical explanations and free time to enjoy the temples and take pictures. We visited the incredible Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple Complex, Luxor Temple, Temple of Hatshepsut and the Colossi of Memnon. The traditional lunch was very tasty and gave us a great experience of local cuisine. We especially loved our stop at Sakhmet Alabaster, where we found gorgeous alabaster candle holders to take home as souvenirs. A truly memorable day!
We had an amazing guided tour in Luxor with our guide Roshdy Khodary. The day was perfectly organized and included the Valley of the Kings, Temple of Hatshepsut, Karnak Temple Complex, Luxor Temple and the Colossi of Memnon. Roshdy was very friendly and professional, giving excellent explanations while also allowing enough free time for photos and exploring at our own pace 🤗. Lunch was delicious with authentic Egyptian food, and we also visited a lovely alabaster shop called Sakhmet Alabaster where we bought beautiful alabaster candle holders. Highly recommended!
