Valley of the Kings - Our toure guide was Ehab (Michael) and he was brilliant from the start to the end. We were picked up right on time and taken to our chosen sites. Ehab was a very calm and informative guide who wasnt too intrusive. He gave us all the information we needed and then let us roam around by ourselves. The freedom to go off on our own and then come back to our guide once we were done was conveniant. We even got good food recomendations which was a plus. Overall the tour went smoothly, our guide was very warming and kind and i would recomend this for anyone wanting a short day guide.

Excellent Luxor guide - I had an incredible experience on this half-day tour with Mohamed Awad. From start to finish, Mohamed was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to every detail. His deep understanding of Egyptian history brought each site to life, especially at the Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut Temple, where his stories and explanations added so much depth to the visit. The tour was well-paced, giving us enough time to explore without feeling rushed. Mohamed was also very accommodating, answering all our questions with patience and enthusiasm. Visiting the Colossi of Memnon was the perfect finale to the tour, and he shared insights that I wouldn’t have gotten from just reading plaques or guidebooks. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a meaningful, insightful, and well-organized visit to these iconic sites. Mohamed truly made the history of ancient Egypt accessible and memorable.

Encounter with Humanity - We were the first to arrive at 6:30 am with the sunrise. The air was refresh and the inscriptions of human beliefs were positively revealing once inside the desert mountain. The guide would leave me alone privately to explore, after clear explanations of images and the history. Egypt is a land of true human civilization.

Traditional itinerary with a guide who can make the tour not banal and entertaining. Without boredom or fatigue - We were very lucky to have a guide - Mansoor had a wonderful tour, making visiting the tombs fascinating and fun. Good English, deep knowledge of history, archaeology and religion, trivial reasoning and presentation style, attention to our needs and interests. Just good impressions and no fatigue. Well done guide, well done and organizer of Lovely Tours, Mahmoud. Bravo to both!

mahmoud haggag - Many thanks to Mahmoud and Ahmed for a great tour. It was very thorough, and any questions we had were answered very well, even about ancient Egyptian hairstyles! Definitely one of the best options for a Valley of the Kings tour.

2 tourist from Istanbul - Our guide gave good information, masters in Egyptology. The driver abd guide picked us up promptly from our hotel. The information given for the tombs were great but no guides are allowed inside the tombs as per the exhibition rules (the tombs are small and hot). When we got to the hapshetsut the other guides went into the exhibit with their groups but our guide did not join us. He explained to us beforehand but did not go inside the exhibit with us so that was a bit disappointing so he could tell us more in depth the actual meanings behind each phase of the exhibit. Lastly the car was good and cool (working AC and blinds for the windows), the driver was safe and courteous. However, our reservation said we would have water in the car but we didn’t receive it.
