As you drive, admire views of quaint villages all the way to Abydos Temple, and listen closely as your expert guide tells you about interesting historical details of the great temple.

Very bad

My experience was terrible. I booked a tour in Spanish and instead it was in English, I paid for the feluga tour that I did not take. They asked me for more money for the airport pickup, repeatedly threatening to leave me in the desert. Don't go with Nice tour.

The best experience in Egypt.

They came to pick us up on the boat waiting for us with cold drinks and a bun, the treatment was amazing, the guide explains everything very well and has perfect English. Apart from advising us many things for our trip. Our guide was Amr Mohamed. Fully recommended, if we return we will not hesitate to take another tour with him.

Visit Luxor with Jackie

Our guide Jackie was amazing! She taught us so much during these visits it was so rewarding. We had free time also, we were able to visit the temples at our ease and she took us to eat in an amazing restaurant, Egyptian food. She was the best guide we had all our stay!
