An excellent tour company and egyptology tour guide (Gabriel). - Booked only the day before, Nice Tours got back to us almost immediately to confirm arrangements, which was very welcome.
We were met exactly on time by our guide Gabriel and given water and snacks for the private car journey.
During the 1:15 drive to Dendarah, Gabriel was enthusiastic to talk about ancient and modern Egypt, which was really interesting.
His tour of Dendarah Temple was excellent. He is clearly very well read and highly experienced; far and away the best tour guide we have had in Luxor.
We actually overran the prescribed time by asking questions, but that was never a problem for him. His enthusiasm for his subject is infectious!
We found when we got back to the hotel wifi that Nice Tours had checked to see if we had met our guide, which further booked my trust in the company, so we will no doubt use them again.
I'd have no reservations in recommending them, and particularly Gabriel, to a friend.

Exceptional Tour to Dendara – Flawlessly Organized! - We had an absolutely fantastic trip to Dendara, expertly organized by Mr. Androw and the Nice Tours team. They were incredibly accommodating, arranging a late start at 10:00 AM to suit our schedule, which we really appreciated. The entire tour was flawlessly organized – the van arrived right on time, and our guide was exceptionally knowledgeable, providing fascinating insights throughout the trip. We highly recommend Nice Tours for anyone looking for a seamless and enriching experience. A big thank you to the entire team for making our day so memorable!

Mahmoud was an amazing tour guide. - Mahmoud was the best tour guide we could have asked for! He is so knowledgeable about everything we visited today. His passion for history made for a great tour and kept us engaged the whole time. He was so accommodating towards any needs or wishes we had. Because we were on a tight schedule, he was able to plan everything out accordingly so that we could see all the amazing sights of Luxor. Thanks Mahmoud for making our first visit to Egypt incredible!
