An excellent tour of Luxor and Karnak temples - Walid was a fantastic guide who was extremely knowledgeable and showed us all of the sights of both temples. We had a great time and would highly recommend him as your guide. Fayez was a great driver.

WOW! Photos Don't Do Justice - Reem was an excellent tour guide and provided a lot of fascinating information as we explored Karnak and Luxor Temples. She was very knowledgeable but also extremely warm, friendly, polite, and willing to take as many photos as I wanted without making me ever feel like I was imposing. I loved going here during sunset — it was quite breathtaking. The epic and colossal nature of these sacred temples and monuments are quite awe-inpsiring to say the least. I highly recommend booking this tour — you won't regret it! Thanks Reem, for an unforgettable experience!

Fantastic experience - This was an amazing experience! We've visited several other Egyptian sites solo or just with a driver, but wanted to see at least one with a guide, and it's 100% worth it. Rania was amazing - full of knowledge and enthusiasm, she really made our day. Bukr the driver was also super friendly and helpful. The whole day was well organised, with good communication before and on the day from Walid. Golden Joy Travel are the best tour agency we've dealt with so far in Egypt and I'd strongly recommend them to anyone.

Amazing tour to Luxor and Karnak temples - We had a absolutely wonderful tour with Mr. Walid. An extremely knowledgeable guide, who taught us a lot today and took care to show us so many small details that we would have not seen otherwise. Super prompt, very organized and very patient with all our questions.

Incredible Karnak and Luxor Temple Tour - Exploring Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple with Walid was amazing. We started at Karnak, and were impressed by its vastness, with highly-decorated entranceways, walls, and columns everywhere, especially in the Great Hypostyle Hall. The columns were covered in intricate and colorful hieroglyphics. Walid explained the significance of the different sections to us as well as interpreting many of the hieroglyphics. He answered all our questions well and we enjoyed hearing his stories behind the hieroglyphics. Then we continued to Luxor Temple, which is where new pharaohs would be crowned and had a more elegant feel. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and recommend it.

Temples Tour - Walid was an excellent guide and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour of the temples. I could feel the majesty with the ornate architecture and could easily picture what it was like thousands of years ago. We went at 7am on a Saturday morning and it was so peaceful, calm, not too hot. I could explore these temples again and again- there's so much to admire. Thank you, Walid!
