Top man

We are a UK pensioner couple on our first package trip to the historical glories of Egypt, eight days combining Nile cruise and trips to Cairo, Luxor and Aswan. Remon Nagy Shaker, proudly Luxor born and bred, was our good natured driver and guide. Inormation, tips and advice tumbled out of him during our time among sites such as the Karnak, Hatshep and Luxor Temples, embracing wider Egypt and personal experience. We can warmly recommend Remon.

Good

Mahmoud Essa was really handy and fun. He illustrated us all the temple in a very nice way, telling things many people don’t know. He also gives you some free time after the visit to do some photos or whatever you want. He’s very chatty and calm, it was a really nice tour. Hope to see him again

Poor tour company

All the guides were excellent, particularly Demiane who took us to the Valley of the Kings and other temples around Luxor. She also arranged a pleasant lunch with a beautiful view across the Nile. The cruise ship was excellent with clean and well-appointed rooms. Our only complaint was with Nice tours that was disappointing and detracted from our holiday. Communication was poor; we were unable to contact the tour company via email, WhatsApp or phone. We would not book a tour with them again and regret the inconvenience, stress and worry it caused us.

4 day Nile cruise

We had the best time with Mina Safwat in Luxor! He was so patient and so knowledgeable in the history of all the temples. We learned so much in just one day and are so fortunate we had him as our guide!

Outstanding tour guide Demiana in Luxor

The tour around Luxor (the temples) and valley of the kings with the guide Demi was the best tour I have ever been on. Her knowledge was simply phenomenal. I cannot recommend her or the tour itself highly enough
