Nefertiti’s tomb - Thanks to my guide, I had Nefertiti tomb to myself for more than the allotted time of 10 minutes. This tomb was by far the most amazing in either the Valley of the Kings or Queens.

Khalid is extremely knowledgeable. He is an Egyptologist that has so many details about the sites. Car had very cold AC - Khalid is very knowledgeable and knows so many facts. He is an Egyptologist that is obviously very proud of his heritage. We learned so much today. The driver, also Khalid was very good, always right there waiting with the brand new car that had awesome AC. Lunch was plentiful and delicious. Khalid knew exactly when the timing was good for entrance to each site, minimizing crowd exposure. I actually toured Nefertari’s tomb ALL alone. It was surreal. No other tourists. Very good experience. Recommend to everyone!

Visit to the Valley of the King's and Queen's - Nefertari's tomb was the highlight. Our guide Ahmed Eziz was great at changing the itinerary to avoid the crowds so we didn't have to wait too long in line at the tombs. Ahmed was also very good at providing a lot of information but keeping a good pace so the kids didn't get bored. Lunch was included and it was the best meal we have had in our 10 days in Egypt.

Beautiful tombs - This tour was amazing! I feel like I saw most of the highlights of Luxor. I really wanted to see Nefertari’s tomb, which did not disappoint — it was so well preserved that it looks like it was painted just yesterday. My guide Ash was great; he very informative and answered all my questions. And lunch was pretty good. I’d suggest this tour to anyone, particularly if you want to see Nefertari’s tomb!

Fantastic Tour - We were lucky to have Ahmed as our guide, as he was incredibly knowledgeable. As a trained guide with nearly twenty years experience, he was able to explain all of the sites, with very interesting stories, and easily answered all of our questions. Everything was made easy, as we were picked up from the train station, and dropped off at our hotel afterwards. Lunch was also included, and very delicious. I highly recommend this tour!

Totally worth it! - We went on this tour in October 2019 and while the day was busy, it was totally worth it to see everything! Nefertaris tomb was one of the highlights of our entire trip. Our guide explained each site well, gave us plenty of time at each, and gave us enough freedom to explore on our own. A lot of the tours don’t include the queens valley or nefertaris tomb, but it is SO worth the admission for the beautiful intact artwork. Our guide also brought us to see some alabaster vase making and paper making as well as offered an opportunity for a Nile boat ride and an excellent lunch.

Not to be missed - I just come back from this hour tour and I feel the tour lasted for days after all the things I visited.
If you go to Luxor you HAVE to take this tour and visit Nefertari tomb.
Everything else on the tour is great (Tut tomb, King's Valley, Temple of Hatshepsut, ...) and you'll enjoy your time. But you'll fall in love with the beautiful Queen. The tomb is so well preserved and the paintings so vivid that you will feel she is still there with you welcoming into her sacred place.
Khalid, my guide, proved to be a very knowledgeable and nice guy, always ready to provide useful information and precious details about ancient history and local culture. And together with the driver, they supported all of my needs. The pace was just perfect and I've never felt under pressure. His descriptions and mood so passionate that I could almost live those events and see those places.
And even during the visit to a market place I've never felt forced to buy anything, but I was just welcomed as a respected guest.
Do yourself a favour and take this tour. Thank me later.
