I had a very good time here in luxor. A wonderful experience that I will definitely repeat. The car that picked us up was clean and new. The guide (Mary) that accompanied us was very talented and knew what she was talking about. She helped us negotiate whenever we needed and helped us with all our needs. We are very thankful for everything and cannot be more happy.

This was excellent. The trip we went on isn't listed, we were away for 3 nights and travelled from Luxor to Aswan, flights to and from Cairo were included. The whole operation was as smooth as clockwork, which was impressive as there were many moving parts. We booked through getyourguide, but the company used was Nice tours. Mohra kept in contact with us all the time , so we knew what was planned and timings. We were collected from our accommodation, taken to airport, collected and taken to hotel, up at 0500 for a balloon ride which was just awesome, then off to see temples, with an English speaking guide. Back to boat and an afternoon siesta!
Up early the next day for more temples, back to boat to continue cruise towards Aswan, final day another early start to Abu Simbel , back to boat, then on a smaller boat to Nubian village which was very pretty and we had a delicious lunch , back to boat and then taken to airport, flight back to Cairo and taken back to accommodation. The temples were breathtaking and definitely worth seeing, It was very well organised, the guides spoke excellent English. Early mornings were necessary due to the amount to do and heat of the day so if you don't like early mornings or temples this isn't the trip for you! I would recommend without hesitation.

We had a tour started by early morning balloon and afterwards a tour of vositing different places including valley of the kings, hatshepsyt, karnak temple. The places were amazing but what made it really special was a lot of very useful information from our tour guide Eyman. He was amazing by providing to the point information to give us a very good understanding of the historical background about the places we visited. Eyman, the tour guide, and his colleague, Rami, the driver, were really supportive, really precise on timing to make our experience a great experience. Very highly recommended.

I did the cruise on Nilo river and we stopped in Phila, Abdu Simbel, Edfu, Valey of the kings, Hatshupsut, Karnak and Luxor temple. Ashraf was the guide of the last four places and was the best guide in the hole trip, way ahead of the others. Deep knowledge of the places, perfect English, didn’t rush anything and was friendly as well. Finally, he managed to delivery us safe and sound in the hotel after a perfect day. I could not and the trip in a better way, wanted to stay more in Luxor just to go in other places with this guide.

I was a bit wary to go on a cruise boat (not my usual style of travelling) but it really is the best option to do this route while visiting all there there is to see for this amount of time. Because there were rooms available they upgraded me for free and overall I always felt everything was designed to please us and makes us happy as possible. The food was excellent and varied, the staff was always very nice, the room and the the all boat (MS Nile III) was great, clean and well looked after.
I was always closely accompanied over Whatsapp by Demiana from Nice Tours. My tour didn't include the hot air balloon option but on the last minute I changed my mind and she quickly found a way to slide me in and make the all thing happen. We had several guides along the several temples we stopped by, all good, but I would stand out Ahmed Yossry with whom I spent the most time in Luxor, His english is great, as is his knowledge and concern for our well being and overall experience.
With all that, I would recommend this trip to anyone!

We took the boat from Aswan to Luxor and stopped in several places. Our guide Khaled Fouad showed us around at the temples. Great tour and food on the boat is good.
Only thing we did not like is the fact that our boat was delayed so in the end we only sailed for 1 day to all destinations. The first 2 days we were stucked in Aswan which we already seen on our own.
