This was hands down one of the best travel experiences we’ve ever had. From start to finish, everything was flawlessly organized, and that’s all thanks to the incredible team behind this tour, especially Marena and Mina.
Marena was an absolute superstar. From the moment we booked, she stayed in touch and answered all of our questions promptly, and handled every detail with care and professionalism. She even upgraded our hotel in Luxor to the Temple Hotel, which was beautiful and offered a large, delicious breakfast after returning from our hot air balloon ride. Her thoughtful touches truly made this experience unforgettable.
Marena ensured the logistics were seamless. A driver picked us up directly from our hotel in Giza and drove us to Cairo International Airport for early evening flight. When we arrived in Luxor, a guide and the local driver were already waiting outside the terminal with a sign that said “Nice Tours.” They even greeted us with thoughtful welcome gifts, which was such a kind and unexpected gesture.
Our local guide in Luxor, Mina, was the heart of this experience. He was warm, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. His passion for Egyptian history brought every site to life, and he took the time to answer all of our questions in detail. With him, we explored the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut, Medinet Habu, Karnak, and Luxor Temple. His storytelling made it feel like we were walking through history.
We also enjoyed a magical sunrise hot air balloon ride over Luxor, a peaceful sail on the Nile, and a delicious lunch at a local restaurant. Every part of the day felt thoughtfully curated and unhurried, giving us time to truly soak in the experience.
After the full day, Mina and our driver returned us to Luxor Airport. When we landed back in Cairo, another driver and guide from Nice Tours were waiting for us again with a welcome sign and even more welcome-back gifts. We were then driven back to our hotel in Giza, ending the day with the same smooth care and professionalism we had experienced throughout.
If you’re considering this trip, don’t hesitate. It was an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime experience, and thanks to Marena, Mina, and the entire Nice Tours team, it was absolutely perfect. We left Luxor with memories we will cherish forever.
