A Tour of Luxor

My wife and I had a very enjoyable tour experience in Luxor. We were picked up by a private driver and brought around all the incredible sights and attractions throughout the city. Our tour guide, Momo, was outstanding throughout the entire tour. He was extremely informative, friendly, and always willing to help. His knowledge of the museums, temples, and history of Luxor made the experience much more enjoyable and memorable for us. Momo made us feel very welcome and comfortable during the tour, and we would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Luxor. Thank you again for such a fantastic experience!

Best of the best

Our day in Luxor visiting Karnak and Valley of the Kings far exceeded our expectations. Dr. Salma was an incredible guide. Her expertise in Egyptology is second to none and she speaks like a native English speaker. We had great guides at other sites but she was by far the best. I would recommend taking this tour with her and coming with plenty of questions, she will have the answers! She also went above and beyond to help care for one of our group members who was feeling unwell and kindness like that cannot be forgotten. Thank you Nice Tours for matching us with Dr. Salma!
