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!

This was such an... - This was such an informative and fun day. Ahmed is incredibly knowledgeable, especially given his past experience as a local archaeologist which is truly impressive! We learned so much about the temples and the history in Luxor. Ahmed has an incredible way of telling stories where you can feel his passion about them, which makes it even more exciting to learn.

3 Day Luxor Tour with Kids - We had an amazing 3-day tour in Luxor as a family of four with two young kids. On the third day, we visited the Dendera Temple of Hathor, located about 1.5 hours north of Luxor by car. We were lucky to be paired with Rania, a Luxor local with a master’s degree in Egyptology who reads hieroglyphics like a pro! She did a fantastic job explaining the history at each site, answering all our questions, and tailoring the experience to keep our kids engaged. The tour company was incredibly efficient, with spot-on transportation and a breathtaking sunrise balloon ride that they arranged seamlessly. We asked to skip some of the usual tourist roadside stops, and they accommodated our request without any issues. Our days started around 7:30 AM, and we were usually back at the hotel by early afternoon. The price was very fair and arranged easily via WhatsApp. Highly, highly recommend!

The BEST Guide - Picked up by Rania who kindly waited for us in our hotel reception. Very warm welcome with bottles of water provided. Air conditioned car with private driver. We experienced Karnak / Luxor temples with our private guide Rania who had studied Egyptology for 5 years in Cairo and this really showed! She was very educational, explaining to us the history of Luxor, the temples, hieroglyphics as well as taking some great photos for us! She was very kind and she did not push for time or tips which has been very common in Egypt for us. She also showed us some local restaurants and shops which were not wildly overpriced for once! I would 1000% recommend this tour with Rania and wish her all the best for the future ☺️

Amazing time at Karnak and Luxor temples! - We had such a great time with Rania on our tour of the Karnak and Luxor Temples! She was so kind and knowledgeable about not just the history of the temples we visited but all of Egypt’s history. We went in the late afternoon and I would recommend that time frame as the afternoon light makes the temples glow. The Karnak Temples absolutely blew us away (and may have even topped the pyramids for best sight in Egypt). Rania even recommended a great place for dinner where we sat on the rooftop and watched the sunset. I would highly recommend this tour!
