Stunning temples! - The temples are stunning! And our guide Gamal made the hieroglyphics and friezes understandable and interesting. He taught us to identify God's and pharaohs and helped us understand the gorgeous Ceiling in Dendera. He told stories rather than facts and it made the temples make more sense to us.
Great trip!

A great day trip and a must visit. - Probably one of the best experiences i had in egypt. Assraf was my guide and ahmed was the driver. Well driving in egypt is not for the faint hearted and ahmed was a pro. He was on time and respected my time too. No delays and it was a near perfect trip with not much hiccups.
I have only one word for Assraf and that is great. He has great in-depth knowledge. He answered my queries not only about the temples of the trip but even the luxor and karnak temples. The best part of the trip was first he taught how to understand the different processes going on in the drawings in the temples and then he asked witty questions and even other depictions there. So you are learning and also understanding the culture . I just loved it. Thank you Assraf

Great site and knowledgeable guide! All in all greatest tour experience so far - I had a great trip with the best team. Driver Ahmad safely managed the difficult road. The guide Ash is so knowledgeable that he knows the temple in and out, gave the necessary information, in the most interesting way. He also shared relevant link to another temples, how to identify figures, symbols and ancient gods. He answered all my questions and can immediately point out the exact figures to illustrate it!
I learned so much from Ash on that day to the level that I can implement it on the next day when I was in another tour in Karnak & Luxor temple the day after with another tour company and an incompetent guide! I can figure out all things on my own with a little bit the help of Internet!
We had local food that was delicious and not pretentious.
If I can give 7 stars to this trip I would!

Trip to two fantastic temples. - Travel in Egypt is an experience in itself. Roads are rubble with a strip of tarmac down the middle with 4 lanes of cars, trucks, buses, 6 year old boys on donkeys, old men on carts of 50000 bundles, pedestrians just wandering into the traffic, and stalls by the side of the road selling cabbages and cauliflowers twice as big as your head that you have to avoid. Added to this are the constant police check points, and stupidly, as i decided to sit in the front seat of the car, we got stopped everywhere...well, hay ho. Maybe im weird but i just really loved all this, so this was just such a great trip, good driver, informative guide, and two of the most amazing temples ive seen...and ive seen a LOT of temples. Just do not miss Dendera..its outstandingly beautiful, ornate and still has so much of the original colours. Its really late by Egyptian standards, from the Ptolemaic period, but it is just so overwhelming inside i actually thought i might burst into to tears, and at Abydos there were only 4 other people in the temple...just so fantastic i dont know what to say. My driver was fab, and so was the guide, though, sometimes, i cant deny, i feel with guides...are they there for me, or, am i there for them as they get a bit irritated that i want to take photos or spend more time looking at something than they think i should, or not listening properly to their spiel. Just a small gripe on what was a great trip. An experience in every way.

Dendera one of the best preserved temples in Egypt ! - 2 beautiful temples and a great tour to see them.
These temples are far and out the way so the only way to see them is with a tour like this.

Amazing temples, but annoying guide - The temples of Dendera and Abydos were wonderful and very well preserved and the meal was delicious, however I give this specific experience only 2 stars because of the guide, who repeatedly tried to convince us to end the tour early by first attempting to change the pickup time to 2 hours earlier and then giving us a hard time when we refused. Then he asked over and over again to not go to Abydos, trying instead to get us to go to a temple in Luxor instead, saying the drive to Abydos was long and if we went to Luxor we would have more time to ourselves later in the day. Given that the whole point of this tour was to see temples outside of Luxor, we did not like this, but he kept trying to persuade us even after we said many times we wanted to see Abydos. Also, throughout the whole day, the guide kept trying to sell us additional tours and experiences, which we repeatedly declined. We found his constant attempts at upselling and ignoring our reasons for declining to be very exhausting, and it really detracted from the experience of seeing the temples.

Very scary and diappointing - choose another provider - Guide was late arriving, was hard to understand and spent a lot of the time in the car watching a video .... which might not have been so bad if he used headphones. The driver was reckless, driving at speeds up to 140km even after both we and the guide asked him to slow down. And to top it off we had a minor traffic accident when he could not stop in time and collided with the car in front.
