Traveler reviews
Habu, valley of the queens
This was a great tour, the only reason it was not 5 star is because we had 4 people in our group and the car they picked us up in has a back seat for 3 and a little kids very uncomfortable seat in the back. Good car for two or three people. The guide was awesome and was very knowledgeable.
Brilliant trip, and the...
Brilliant trip, Highly recommend this tour. The best tour guide, Bahget was very informative we learnt so much while seeing amazing sites. The driver was also very good and friendly.
Best guide in Luxor: Salwa
Salwa is the very best guide ever! Her explanations and kindness made this tour unforgettable. She showed us a different Luxor, some of the valleys and temples that are less known but totally worth it
