Amazing experience. Valley of the Kings was an experience not to be missed. Our guide gave us a lot of information about what we would be seeing in each tomb. The tour included 3 of the 4 tombs. The one that is not included is King Tuts. It is an extra charge. According to other visitors that we spoke to later, it is $15 and worth it but our guide never offered that option. The Karmac Temple and Queen Hapshephuts Tempel were also just amazing.
Tip: use the restroom before you depart from the ship. It is over 3 hours and there are no bathroom breaks. Our tour ended at the Karmac Temple. It would have been nice if the guide told us that yes the restroom there since we would not be stopping again.

Excellent and professional service by the drivers for the transfers from my resort to Luxor to meet our guide. Very clean and spacious cars with air conditioning and water provided, the car met us on time and stayed us throughout the tour so me didn’t have to carry everything with us.

Khalid was amazing! He always had our best interest in mind and kept us informed. He let us have time to go and explore by ourselves after he explained to us what we will be seeing. His education about the sites and about the areas was phenomenal. Also, he was a great photographer! Went above and beyond to make our trip unforgettable— amazing meal, beautiful views and even got us sugar cane juice!

I’ve been to 6 continents, and Khalid was the best guide I’ve had. Knowledgeable, efficient and a great and willing photographer. He impressed me by his ability to make us feel comfortable and safe in a middle eastern country as two white-blonde haired American’s, something that helped set a positive tone for the rest of my trip. I never felt rushed. He is passionate about his job, you won’t regret booking a tour with this guy.
