Comfortable tour - It was one of the most enjoyable tours we did in Egypt. Mahmoud is a really kind person, he helps us in everything. He has a lot of cultural knowledge. Moreover, our journey was really comfortable. If we have the chance to come to Egypt, we will call them and do our tours together. He is no longer a guide, he is our friend.

Luxor king valley, hatsepsut, karnak and luxor temple - We met Yahya while trying to get to our hotel from Luxor airport. We loved him very much with the information and conversation he shared with us until the hotel and we decided to tour Luxor with him. He took us to all the must see places in luxor. He gave information about the city. We, 4 friends, had a very comfortable and safe tour. He recommended us a nice restaurant in the evening, took us to our hotel after having dinner. It was a day where we were satisfied with everything. We will recommend him to all our friends..

The amazing and memorable Luxor excursion - We visited the valley of kings and the temple of Medinet Habu. The temple has interesting paintings and hieroglyphics and getting to learn about the back stories was fascinating. It was quite amazing to learn that in the valley lay the tombs of 63 of the most important pharaohs in the history of of ancient Egypt.
Thanks to our tour organizers, Egypt Lovely tours, for their efficient and professional service and the warmth that made our experience special and memorable.
