Barry in the West 5 stars.

Barry is a fantastic Guide. Professional, knowledgeable and experienced. Your better off visiting these amazing sites with him due to the fact he has studied and continues to study the anchient world of the Nile. I'm greatly appreciative of the beauty of Luxor along with its spectacular hospitality. The sites are magnificent. TAK tomb is worth it.

Excellent tour with personable and funny guide

Noah gave us an amazing tour. He is personable and very funny, as well as making sure that we were okay in the heat. I would highly recommend his tour. His English is excellent and he was able to help us with finding safe food for someone with allergies. In addition, he is very knowledgeable about the tombs and temples we visited. I especially enjoyed visiting a local artisan shop and touring the historic town/tombs of the artisans

Safe, friendly tour guide, knowledgeable and professional service

Our tour guide, Noah, met us in the morning and had everything ready to go for the day. We were able to visit the Valley of the Kings as well as several temples and other tombs. Although it was extremely hot (111 degrees Fahrenheit), our tour guide ensured we stayed hydrated and out of the sun as much as possible. He also made sure we were well-informed of merchants trying to rip us off, and he explained every aspect of the sites carefully. I felt that all of my questions were answered appropriately and professionally, and I felt safe and cared for the whole time. Noah was quite friendly and personable. I would highly recommend his services.

Great tour- ask for Marwa!!

Marwa was such an amazing, fun, knowledgeable and great guide - the best we’ve had in Egypt so far. She helped us come up with an itinerary that worked for us, had great explanations and insight, and had a great relationship with all the locals we interacted with. We went to the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut’s temple, Memnon’s colossi, tombs of the nobles, and Valley of the Queens. She was so charismatic and it was very easy to plan, communicate and spend the day with her. Highly recommended!! Ask for Marwa Fatafeat Elsoker when you book!

Overall amazing experience. Noah was my tour guide. I was picked up from my hotel on time. He was very responsive beforehand and gave me suggestions on how to prepare for the day which was very helpful. He provided a driver and the entire experience was amazing. Super knowledgeable and hospitable, I highly recommend!
