Knowledgeable and Instagram worthy guide!
What a wonderful adventure through the past today! We really enjoyed our time today and would certainly book again. We were well taken care of, the facts were interesting and well explained in the broader context of Egyptian history, and he left plenty of time for Instagram photos. (-: Highly recommend.

Fabulous . Our guide ayman elhassany - was excellent. This is our second trip to Egypt and Ayman has been the best guide we have had. His knowledge and how he explained the Egyptian history was very enlightening. Also very nice gentleman.

Private tour of Karnak and Luxor temples
Raniah collected our group of 4 from reception of our cruise boat at 6am. Arrived at Karnak at 6:15am when only a few visitors there. Her knowledge and enthusiam was amazing. Cant recommend more highly.

WOW! Photos Don't Do Justice
Reem was an excellent tour guide and provided a lot of fascinating information as we explored Karnak and Luxor Temples. She was very knowledgeable but also extremely warm, friendly, polite, and willing to take as many photos as I wanted without making me ever feel like I was imposing. I loved going here during sunset — it was quite breathtaking. The epic and colossal nature of these sacred temples and monuments are quite awe-inpsiring to say the least. I highly recommend booking this tour — you won't regret it! Thanks Reem, for an unforgettable experience!

Fantastic experience
This was an amazing experience! We've visited several other Egyptian sites solo or just with a driver, but wanted to see at least one with a guide, and it's 100% worth it. Rania was amazing - full of knowledge and enthusiasm, she really made our day. Bukr the driver was also super friendly and helpful. The whole day was well organised, with good communication before and on the day from Walid. Golden Joy Travel are the best tour agency we've dealt with so far in Egypt and I'd strongly recommend them to anyone.

Amazing tour to Luxor and Karnak temples
We had a absolutely wonderful tour with Mr. Walid. An extremely knowledgeable guide, who taught us a lot today and took care to show us so many small details that we would have not seen otherwise. Super prompt, very organized and very patient with all our questions.
