This was one of the best tours that we took while in Egypt. Our guide Abdul was very thorough in his explanations of the temples and even went step by step explaining each of the hieroglyphics. We literally got a detailed insight of how life was in Egypt during the times of these areas. I would definitely recommend this tour to others and especially the guide Abdul.

We were very impressed with Nile Holiday Tours and our guide Abdul. He was very knowledgeable and provided us with an insight on ancient Egyptian culture. He thoroughly explained in detail the meanings of literally every wall of hieroglyphics inside and out at the Esna Temple giving more commentary and ability to ask questions than any of the other private tours we took while in Egypt. At El Kab he allowed us to take our time and visit the caves after the commentary as well which I thought was a nice touch. From the beginning the service we received was both professional and catered to our specific needs for a very low price. They even kindly dropped us at the Luxor International Airport without requesting additional fees and bought us a snack on the road at a local market. We hope to get to use their services again in the very near future!!!
