We had a magnificent tour. Thanks to Mustafa, our guide, who kindly and expertly explained the history and beauty of the Egyptian people, allowing us to visit the tombs of the kings and the temple of the queen, appreciating their splendor. We highly recommend booking the tour with this agency.
We requested a guide in Spanish as he gave us the option and in the booking confirmation we were told that we had to pay 1,000 Egyptian pounds in cash to the guide on the day of the tour. We decided to continue with the reservation but it is a bit ugly that it is not indicated when booking. It also stated specifically that there were no visits to shops and that is why we decided on this tour. As soon as he could the guide tried to sneak us a super special visit to a workshop where the stone is worked....after insisting several times with the workshop we told him that we did not want to go to any shop or workshop and we wanted to make the visit and return to the hotel and so we did but we return to the same, in the reservation nothing indicated visits to shops. It also indicated that there was water at our disposal during the visit... we had to buy it ourselves and only after the last stop and when he was preparing to take us to the "workshop" the guide gave us a bottle of water and some snacks. In addition the explanations were quite basic and some of the things he explained to us didn’t make sense or we knew directly that it wasn’t. As positive points we had enough free time to visit the tombs and the temple at our pace, the van and driver also adjusted as expected.

Hanny our tour tour guide was very informative. He let us know which tombs were the best to visit and what to look for. He was efficient with time and very patient with my 4 year old. Amazing tour!
I highly recommend Nile Holiday Tours for anyone interested in travelling to Luxor! I really enjoyed the trip very much and the tour guide was very knowledgeable! Fantastic tour in Luxor
The experience was incredible! Waleed is a wonderful guide. He taught us a lot of things, apart from what was included and from what other guides were saying to their groups. He was the best guide we’ve ever had, joking and smiling all the time. Without him, the entire experience wouldn’t have been the same.

I will definitively keep in touch for another trip in family in the future.

Valley of the kings is an absolute must-see. Hesham Hamad has lots of informations to the former history of the kings and explained it super easy / understandable. Also for amateurs like me 😇 super sympathyc guy. I can definitely recommend him :))
Hello Dear schweizandi, Have a nice Day Thank you so much for sharing your views and experience with Nile Holiday. We are so pleased to see how happy you are with your trip. Your review is highly appreciated and is very important to us and the community of whom are thinking about travelling soon. Thank you again!
I can't say enough, how great of an experience Nile Holiday provided to us on this trip of a lifetime. Every aspect of service was phenomenal!! Before the trip they did exceptional planning and personalized tailoring of our itinerary and then also the spontaneous add ons during the trip. Once we arrived we met our dedicated Nile Holiday guide (Walid) for our 7 night Nile cruise. Walid was the most knowledgeable and caring tour guide. In each city he spent time where we wanted to spend time and briefly touched on things that he noticed didn't interest us so much. Walid is also the best photographer. See the pics attached to this review!! Going above and beyond Walid supported any and every need we had from procuring meds to picking up sweet snacks and toys to take home to our children. 5 star communication and care from every member of their team. Our trip to Egypt would not have been the dream it was without Nile Holiday.

My tour guide Walid was awesome; He was mindful that it was hot, and provided us just enough history for us to appreciate what we are about to see. Tour Company: Nile Holiday
Something magical happens. You are catapulted into the past and understand why, the cradle of culture was born over five thousand years ago and in Egypt. The tomb of the female Pharaoh excites you and you feel a shiver crossing your skin. You're under the impression he's still there. MAGICAL!
