Hassan was amazing. He was on time and extremely knowledgeable. He was also great with our kids (age 7 and 11). We had a wonderful time and experience and would recommend anyone to take advantage of this opportunity.
We had a great half day tour from Luxor to the Valley of the Kings during which our experienced and knowledgable guide Abdul explained all that we needed to know. We then booked a second trip out with Abdul two days later, visiting the Temple of Hatshepsut.
Khaled is a very nice guide, good explanations and great mood :-) The only thing in Valley of the King is that it is always crowded so could be better to start by it.

Our guide explained the history and importance of such a temple while guiding us through ticket barriers and finally to the temple, he too

His passion for Egyptology was palpable, and it made the experience all the more special. The tour itself was incredibly well-organized, and we were able to see all of the m
