(Private) Half Day Tour Luxor Temple and Karnak Temples

We had an amazing tour with Nelly. She was very passionate and knowledgable on Egyptian ancient history. We learned some of the most important aspects of both temples and saw some of the most interesting features we might otherwise missed on our own. She was also very kind to our children and tried to interact with them throughout the tour to hold their interest. We were able to go at our own pace to visit both temples and get some icecream inbetween. The driver, Yusef was also very professional. He bought us water and juices and the ride was very comfortable. Tour was well worth it and very happy with our guides.

Unlike other ancient sites , there are a lot of shaded areas with these two, so even if you go on a sunny day, you can take a break in the shade for a little. The tour was nice and the guide was awesome, Nelly did a great job. She is knowledgeable and kind. Answered a bunch of questions and was not a robot sticking to a particular script, that was nice! She did not talk about tipping or anything of that like that. However , if your guide does a good job and the driver does a good job, take care of them at the end for what you feel they deserve, it’ll go a long way. Thank you again Nelly!

Aladdin was an amezing tour guide. He gave us an amazing experience and many informations about the sites. We recommend him and have booked him for the valley of the kings as well! Bonus tips for the pictures 😀

We really enjoyed our morning with Aladdin. As soon as we stepped in the car we felt safe and sound. He's a very kind and funny man. He is full of passion about the stories he told us. He showed us the perfect spots of Karnak Temple and the Luxor Temple. Thanks a lot Aladdin! See you again my friend!

We had a great time with Aladdin ! We learn so many things and the temples are truly beautiful. Thank you Aladdin!

We learned a lot with this guided tour. I felt like if we went by ourselves, we would have missed out on a lot as the signage at the temples were lacking

5-Star Review for Nelly’s Half-Day Tour – Luxor Temple & Karnak I just finished Nelly’s half-day private tour of Luxor Temple and Karnak, and it was genuinely one of the best experiences I’ve had in Egypt. From the moment she met me, Nelly’s energy was infectious. She’s warm, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable – the perfect combination for a guide. She brought the temples to life in a way no guidebook or audio tour ever could. Walking through Luxor Temple, she painted vivid pictures of ancient ceremonies, pharaohs, and daily life that made the massive columns and intricate carvings feel alive. At Karnak, her explanations of the history, hieroglyphics, and the sheer scale of the complex were fascinating and easy to follow. She balanced deep historical insights with fun stories and even a few jokes that had me laughing while learning. Nelly was flexible, patient with my endless questions, and clearly passionate about Egyptian history. She made the whole morning feel like hanging out with a super smart, fun friend who happens to be an expert on ancient Egypt. The half-day format was perfect – just the right amount of time without feeling rushed or overwhelming. If you’re visiting Luxor, do yourself a favor and book with Nelly. Whether you’re a history buff or just looking for an enjoyable way to explore these incredible sites, she will make it unforgettable. I couldn’t recommend her or this tour more highly. Absolute 10/10 experience. Thank you, Nelly! Highly recommended ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
