The blue and white colors on the walls inside the burial chamber are very vibrant and you can see the king's sarcophagus made of rose-colored granite. There is also a beautiful scene of goddess Nut on the ceiling, where she is depicted swallowing the sun, and it traveling through her stomach, for Nut to give birth to it.

Hamdee, our private tour guide, was amazing. He's very knowledgeable. We've learned so much from him. His temperament is about right too. In general, some tour guides are too energetic and assertive. Some of them bombard you with too much information without checking your pace. But Hamdee is very considerate to our needs. He has a great sense of what we want and how we feel. I highly recommend this tour and its guide.

Abdul was outstanding, fun and intelligent. All tombs and temples were fantastic, and lunch was the best food we’ve had!

An incredible private full-day tour with Abdul! After doing a lot of research and reading previous reviews, I requested a tour with Abdul. At the time, I didn’t realize the day we requested was Eid and Abdul gave up his day with his family to provide our tour, given we personally requested him. The day was nothing shy of amazing. Abdul is a guide, Egyptologist and part of the restoration team at one of the temples. It is evident he is passionate about his craft. He educated us throughout the day and was incredibly accommodating including adding an additional temple and boat ride into the day. My wife and I learned so much about ancient Egypt and it was a special day.

Was a complete tour, the guide Mr. Mansour was very attentive and friendly. He explained very well the stories of each place he visited and answered all our questions. Lunch was delicious, the food is included in the package but not the drinks (as a recommendation ask first for the price of the drinks). We enjoyed our lunch with a beautiful view of the Nile. Our day was absolutely amazing, we want to thank you Mr. Mansour for made us have a great time in Luxor.
