Meio-dia Privado: Templo Dendera De Luxor

This is one of the most amazing tours we have ever done! Khaled elsmaky is the best guide that taught us everything about Luxor and Dendera Temple. His English is perfect and we understood everything he told us throughout the trip. He picked us up on time in a comfortable car, bought us drinks, gave us time to see everything and pointed out all the highlights of the temple. It is also the most beautiful and complete temple we saw in Egypt! An absolute must see! This tour was 5 stars in every way!

One of the best temples in the area, as it is covered and has more color intact than others. Just over an hour to get there . Knowledgeable guide.

Nelly was my tour guide and she was great. The tour is pretty quick because it's only one stop so if you schedule this in the morning you can be back in Luxor by lunch. The car was nice and clean and the driver drove safely.

Our trip to Dandera Temple was unforgettable largely thanks to our guide Khaled Elsmany. Not only he knew the history inside and out, but he also made the entire experience stress free. His warm personality and sense of humor made our trip a total joy.

Poor organisation. Our driver turned up who spoke little english. He tried to reach out to us on whatsapp but the translation program that he was obviously was so terroble we understood nothing of what he said. Took us awhile for us to find him when he arrived to Luxor port. We eventually had to use live location share on whatsapp. It was also obvious it was his forst time driving to Dendera as he had to stop and ask for directions several times along the way. When we got the Dendera we waited for a bit before a guy turned up who we assumed was the guide but also dodn't have good english. However by the time we got it, our party went to use the bathroom, went back outside the presumed guide had disappeared. Tried to message the driver. No luck as he didn't understand us. Tried calling the number on the booking no answer- this was a mid morning workday. So we went unguided for the tour. As we were exiting we saw the presumed guide with another group. Driver was trying his best thats the only reason for 2 stars instead of 1. Our experience didn't align with the expectations we had after reading other reviews before booking.

Right from the start of our tour, we could tell we were in great hands with Barry and his company. He struck the perfect balance of being friendly, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable. The way he explained the history behind the temples made everything feel more meaningful—he shared stories and context we’d never heard before, and he made it all easy to connect with. There were no stops at places trying to sell anything. Barry was focused on giving us exactly what we came for - and that made the whole trip really amazing for us. We’d recommend this tour without hesitation.

Our trip to Dendera was wonderful. The driver and guide were from Reflection Travel. Our guide Barry was amazing, definitely the best guide we had on our whole Egypt trip. Very knowledgeable, personable, and fun to be around. The drive to Dendera from Luxor takes about 1 hour 20 minutes through beautiful desert landscapes.

I can't say enough good things about this tour that we had done with Barry and his company. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and was very humorous. He gave us really great insight into the history behind the temples and provided us with context that was relatable to us and provided us with information that was very unique that we didn't know before. What we liked most about this tour was the access that we had to these great temples and from what we could see Barry has a great relationship with each one of them that allowed us to quickly move through crowds of tourists. Also, considering that this is not one of the cheapest trips that you can do, we got a ton of value from knowing that we weren't being ripped off by being taken to places that were out to make a buck off of us. Barry has a strong ethical position on providing us with what we came here to see and nothing more than that - Which I have encountered in the past with other tour operators. I would highly recommend this company and especially Barry as a tour guide to anyone that is looking to experience Luxor and its wonderful temples.

My guide Barry was excellent company and has a jovial sense of humour. He is an expert and has a wealth of information about the history of the site. Ahmed our driver was good too and the car was new and comfortable with AC. This was my favourite trip (and there were no extra stop offs for shopping for things ie papyrus which no one asked for...) Dendera is about an hour's drive from Luxor so I guess more off the beaten track, but I would definitely recommend it if you're staying in Luxor area.

The service of our guide Khaled was excellent, the transportation was very comfortable especially with air conditioning, attentive at all times to what we required as well as very complete information about the tour.
