Traveler reviews
Would not recommend
Would not recommend they are deceiving and misleading! They have no customer service! They knew they were doing bad business so they acted like they upgraded us to a 4 star hotel. When in fact it was not a 4 star hotel it still was a low budget 3 star hotel.
Attentive, Informative, and Fun
It was such an amazing experience from start to finish thanks to our guide, Mahmoud. Mahmoud was super knowledgeable on the sites, clearly well-known and respected at the sites which helped us feel more comfortable and supported through the day, and he was overall such a pleasure. He ensured our happiness and enjoyment was priority which is always amazing. He even did his best to keep us active and entertained as we had a late night flight and wanted to explore Luxor as long as we could until our flight. I’d 110% recommend Mahmoud and Nice Tours :)
Luxor full day
Hassan was a very entertaining guide. He told us as much as we wanted about the historical Egipt and the sites we see. We highly recommend him to anyone who requires decent English.
Luxor temples
Our guide Raimond was very good and present throughout the tour in Luxor
Unforgettable memories
Wonderful memory of the balloon flight. We were accompanied by Mohab who was very friendly. We continued the day with our guide Mohamed, his explanations were very interesting and detailed. We specified our diet for lunch and this was respected. We did not have a felucca ride but the day is already very busy (pick up 4am and return at 4.30pm). I recommend!
