A beautiful day West Luxembourg - We had booked the private tour to the Valley of the Kings and the Temple of the Dead of Hatshepsut through the hotel. We really wanted a German speaking tour guide and got FAYEZ MANSHEY. He did a really great job! Very much explained, has responded to our wishes. Without hustle and bustle and without pressure even if it took our grown son longer to explore everything very closely.
We spontaneously decided to visit more graves in the Valley of the Dead and also the Temple of the Dead of Ramesses III. It wasn't a problem!

Luxor Trip - I highly recommend Nasco Tours Luxor if you are looking for a tour operator in the area. After checking into the Luxor Hilton we met with Mr. Ahmed Zein and arranged a tour of the West Bank sites (Valley of the Kings/ Valley of the Workers/ Hatshepsut Temple/ Habu Temple) we were met with an excellent guide Mrs. Nermeen, she was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. The hospitality we felt and carefully curated experience made our time in Luxor unforgettable.

Beautiful tour with guide Samira to tombs and temples! - Nice tour to the tombs and temples. Samira guided us smoothly and with expert explanations through all tombs and temples, also she arranged neat tickets and transport. Our driver Mohamed Nasr took us quietly to all locations. All this is perfectly arranged by Viola, the travel consultant of Nasco tours at the Steigenberger Resort Achti in Luxor. Top Team!

A must do tour when in Luxor - Highly recommend this tour, our guide was the most informative we could have imagined, so friendly, his English was exceptional we totally loved this. We felt we learned so much on this tour. Our hotel at the Winter Luxor Palace arranged this tour for us, and we couldn't be more grateful for this experience.

Ask for George to lead your tours- Excellent Tour service - The Valley of the kings was superlative. However, the true treat of the tour was the tour guide (George). From being an expert on any Egyptian history questions, answering cultural curiosities, or assisting us with travel arrangements in the luxor train station, he was nothing short of amazing. He's a fluent speak in English, and has advanced degrees. His efforts made the tour as memorable as the valley of the kings itself.
In terms of the tour, it was very cost friendly and packed with information. Timing was flexible, as were locations. The car was a brand new luxury vehicle that was spotless, had air conditioning, and black out curtains in the back. The driver was great ( I can't recall his name).
When I return to Egypt, I'll make an effort to only book tours with Nasco tours.
