What can I say I loved our tour our driver Ahmed was superb nothing was too much for him big thanks to him . As for our tour guide she was great and nothing was too much for her, she gave us loads of info about everything and arranged things to fill in gaps that we had . The hotel stay at the Temple was a nice hotel although noisy although to be expected during Ramadan . All in all the trip was fantastic , but the highlight was the balloon ride over the valley of the Kings which was fantastic, so calm and not even a bump going up or down and the scenery was great , the whole team were fantastic from the pilot Ahmed to the ground crew and the photographer’s especially Gabriel the coordinator for the balloon trip . Fantastic trip I can really recommend this .

La ida hacia allí fue muy buena, éramos dos y nos llevaron desde Hurghada hasta Luxor en un coche para nosotros solos con aire acondicionado, al llegar a Luxor recogimos al guía y nos llevó al templo de Luxor antes de pasar por el hotel y nos dejaron dejar las cosas en el coche sin ningún problema, después cenamos fuera que venía incluido con una vistas magníficas al río Nilo. El hotel una maravilla. Al día siguiente hicimos lo del paseo en globo y nos encantó y después pudimos volver al hotel y allí nos recogió nuestro guía para ir a los templos de karnar nuestro gran guía nos hizo foto y nos enseñó sitios para podernos hacer fotos sin gente, cogimos la experiencia en inglés por que uno de nosotros sí que entendía perfectamente y el guía amablemente y súper simpático nos dial el tiempo para que mi amigo me lo explicara en español fue un gran guía y súper majo nos recomendó en todo momento que hacer su nombre Basem Omda gracias por su amabilidad, volveremos a Egipto !!!

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Egypt and we would definitely do it again. Our driver, Mohamed Amem, contacted us on the day itself and picked us up earlier after discussing it with us. The 3.5 hour drive to Luxor went very smoothly and he was very friendly. Our guide, Mahmoud Hassaan, was fantastic. Very friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The original plan was Luxor Temple on day 1 and a hot air balloon ride with Karnak Temple on day 2. When the balloon flight was cancelled due to the weather, Mahmoud rearranged the program so we could visit the Valley of the Kings and the Temple of Hatshepsut instead. These were not originally included and made the trip even more special. He guided us through busy areas, bought the tickets for us and made everything feel safe and easy. He also takes beautiful photos. We stayed at Hotel The Temple. It has a central location on a busy road, so there is some noise at night, but the breakfast was good and the staff were very friendly

ce combiné 2 jours à Hurghada tient toutes ses promesses. Tout d'abord véhicule moderne et climatisé avec le tansfert privé. A notre arrivée à Louxor prise en charge par notre guide Mahmoud qui est plus qu'un guide, il était véritablement aux petits soins pour nous avec de belles intentions. Il a su faire de notre excursion un moment privilégié qui rendra nous séjour inoubliable. l'hébergement est correct et les deux restaurants également. Le vol en montgolfière époustouflant au levé du soleil avec comme suprise la traversée du nil en bateaux. Nous avons fini par une petite balade en dromadaire. Une excursion donc pour conclure avec un très bon rapport qualité/prix !

Abbiamo scelto quest’esperienza in particolar modo per l’attività in mongolfiera che purtroppo non siamo riuscite a fare a causa del tempo. Nonostante questo io e le mie amiche consiglieremo a tutti di prenotarla. Abbiamo visitato i due principali templi presenti a Luxor: il tempio di Luxor e Karnak. Un ringraziamento particolare va alla nostra magnifica guida Mahmoud Hassaan. Nonostante le mie amiche non fossero molto pratiche con l’inglese sono riuscite a capire tutto in maniera estremamente chiara ed efficace. Oltre a questo Mahmoud risulta essere una persona amichevole e ciò ha permesso anche a noi di goderci maggiormente la visita ai templi, per questo motivo se scegliete di fare quest’esperienza vi consigliamo di chiedere di lui!

Big shout out to Nice Tours Before Tour: My experiance before tbe tour was great. They were super responsive via whatsapp and they had clear instructions and planned everything greatly. Furthermore, I thought I needed a bigger vehicle and they were willing to organize it for me. During Tour: The vehicle was phenomenal, new clean, spacious and had an absolutely amazing driver, Ahmed. The Temple Tour with Martina was great she was so sweet and knowledgeable. We had the most amazing dinner! BUT the highlight was the hotel we stayed at "Grand Cleopatra Hotel" it was beautiful, clean and 4* according to booking.com. The sunrise Balloon was insane!it was incredible the tour of Karnak was lovely. Then we returned safely back to Hurgada Post Tour: Nice Tours checked on us that we enjoyed the experiance and ensured all was well upon our arrival back in Hurgada I will million times recommend this tour and if I could give them a 10/5 I would! As it is very deserved

Luxor is truly a magnificent place, I’m absolutely in awe! Hassan was the best driver, from Hurghada to Luxor and back.. he was friendly, professional and the best road trip companion. Mariam was an amazing guide, we spent the morning exploring Karnak Temple, she was very engaging and her knowledge was elite! Dinner and Lunch overlooking the Nile from an incredible vantage point, the sunset was beautiful and dreamy, the local cuisine was authentic and tasty, coupled with great company and conversation. The sunrise hot air balloon over ancient landmarks was absolutely a bucket list activity, breathtaking! Great memories, and still so much more to see in Luxor, the perfect excuse for a future adventure

Ballonturen var absolut alle pengene værd. Vi havde en fantastisk chauffør og en meget vidende guide til at vise os rundt i Luxor templet og dagen efter i Karnak templet

Une très belle expérience avec ma mère. Notre guide Bola nous a accompagné aux temples de Luxor et Karkak. Il a su nous expliquer l’histoire des temples, de manière très pédagogiques en différentes langues. Je le recommande vivement! Merci Bola ! Le chauffeur a aussi été très serviable et aimable, je recommande l’activité que ce soit l’hôtel, le guide et le chauffeur, rien à dire. Préférable de manger ailleurs tout de même.
