Good guide

Our guide Ahmed Bahaa was a nice person, he gave us as much time as we wanted to spend at each temple so we didn't have to rush to see everything we wanted.

Abanob Badros Is amazing tour guide, balloon ride equally amazing

I planned this for my husband and myself, I always wanted to do a hot air balloon. Also we were in Cairo for 4 days so I thought it would be nice to take an hour flight down to Luxor. I knew this would be one of the highlights of my trip! After reading the reviews I was a bit nervous about the flight but since we have traveled to over 20 countries I know that these things aren’t like they are in the USA and you have to go with the flow. My husband saw the price tag after booking and was less impressed. But I have to say that it’s been pretty easy, I was asked for my passport early on and provided. I checked in a week before arrival. All was good I received my plane tickets, the driver was on time. Upon arrival at Luxor there was pick up and we stayed in a market area in Luxor, nosy area but not their fault. I was picked on time the next morning at 4:35am, and I have to say the the trip was amazing. Abanob Badros Was our tour guide, he was the best ever! Very knowledgeable and he took into account my husbands limitations and gave him rests when needed. He asked us what was important for us to see, no other guide has ever done that. The balloon ride was amazing. My husband and I arrived back in Cairo a few hours ago and he looked at me on the plane and said this was the best day ever for him and it was worth every penny. He said nothing good have made it better and how we learned so much. Please remember that your in Egypt, your hotels aren’t super fancy. I know someone complained about that, it’s one night and worth it. Don’t second guess this tour!

Amazing experience in Luxor

Was a good experience with Ahmed Bahaa, I would have prefer my native language (Spanish)but I think that I had a mistake when I booked for the tour. But He is very kindly, funny and expert with the topics about the temples, wait for us when we wanted to take a pictures.

Long Journey worthy

It's a long Journey, but definitely it's worth . I recommend to take some food with you for the tomando couple of bottles of water. Temples, specially Karnak is massive, Ahmed Bahaa was really kind and patience and he explained us most relevant information

A fantastic day in Luxor with Ahmed

We had a fantastic day with Ahmed Bahaa around Luxor. He was very informative and told a lot about the Egyptian history. If you wanna go see Luxor and have a great experience take a trip with Ahmed.

They Claim to Include Flights but Don't

Other reviews warned that they don't actually book the included flights for you, so I had that in mind when I booked this tour. On Nov. 9 I talked with Elarya of Nice Tours, she got my approval for a schedule and said she would book the flights. Every time I asked about the flights, she told me she would book them the next day or soon. As of Nov. 21, she hadn't booked anything and said again that she needed one more day. I cancelled the tour and now I'm scrambling to find another. I advise you to avoid this company, they are not reliable.
