We booked this tour for a corporate client visit and it was impeccable.Hurghada Tours - Bastet Travel demonstrated top-tier professionalism. The experience of Karnak Temple is impressive to any visitor, regardless of background. The clear admission fee structure was appreciated for expense reporting. The length of the visit is substantial, showcasing a major historical site. The atmosphere is one of grandeur and significance, suitable for important guests. Crowd size was managed by our guide who selected optimal viewing times. The staff were impeccably dressed, polite, and attentive. This tour is best for formal business hospitality and impressing international visitors. The tour guide was articulate, multilingual, and understood the need for a more formal presentation. A successful moment was during the Nile stop. The serene setting provided a perfect opportunity for a less formal conversation with our clients, strengthening the business relationship in a unique environment. The lunch arranged was at a higher-end local restaurant, which was noted and appreciated. Bastet Travel's attention to detail made the day a flawless representation of Egyptian hospitality and history.

As a solo traveler,I appreciated the structure this tour with Hurghada Tours - Bastet Travel provided. The experience is dense with history, perfect for a curious mind. The admission fee covers multiple world heritage sites, which is exceptional value. The length of visit at each location felt respectful, not rushed. The atmosphere in the Hypostyle Hall at Karnak is almost overwhelming in its scale. Crowds ebb and flow, but there's always a quiet corner to find. The staff were reliable, which is crucial when you're traveling alone. This tour is best for independent travelers who want the framework of a tour but the feel of a private trip. The tour guide was a great source of information and also gave tips for the rest of my stay. A short, contemplative story. In the Valley of the Kings, I entered a less-visited tomb. It was just me and the guard for a few minutes. The silence was total, and the colors on the walls seemed to glow. It was a powerfully intimate encounter with antiquity. The lunch break was a chance to sit in the shade and process it all. A deeply satisfying day.

I went alone and was very impressed with the seamless organization by Hurghada Tours- Bastet Travel. The experience inside the tombs of the Valley of the Kings is quiet and cool, a stark contrast to the desert outside. The admission ticket included access to several tombs, a great deal. The length of visit, about two hours there, allowed me to see three different tombs at my own pace. The atmosphere is one of reverence and discovery. Crowds move in waves, so sometimes you have a chamber to yourself. The staff were punctual and the car was comfortable for the long drive. This tour is best for solo travelers who appreciate depth and good planning. The tour guide was knowledgeable but also gave me space to just look and absorb. One personal short story. At the Temple of Karnak, I found a secluded corner near the sacred lake. Sitting there, just listening to the wind and the distant voices, I could almost feel the history of the place. It was a peaceful, personal moment I really valued. Lunch was a quiet break to recharge. The alabaster factory stop is a bit commercial but interesting to see. A top-notch day.

We took our two teenagers and they were genuinely engaged.Hurghada Tours - Bastet Travel provided a guide who was great with young adults. The experience is visually stunning, which helps keep everyone interested. The admission fee covering the major sites is very convenient for family budgeting. The length of the day is long, but the variety of stops breaks it up. The atmosphere is educational but in the best possible way. Crowds at the Colossi of Memnon are minimal, it's a quick in-and-out stop. The staff were friendly and helped us with our water and things. This tour is best for families with older children who have some interest in history or adventure. One cool moment for the kids was at the alabaster factory seeing how the stone is turned from a rough block into a delicate vase. The craftsman explained the process and it was a nice hands-off lesson in traditional work. The lunch included had something for everyone's taste. The guide from Bastet Travel made sure to point out the dramatic and gruesome stories from the pharaohs, which of course the kids loved. A successful and memorable family day trip.

I did this tour as a couple and it was incredibly romantic in a historical way.Sharing the awe of Karnak Temple with my partner was special. Hurghada Tours - Bastet Travel made our private trip seamless. The overall experience is intense but rewarding. The admission cost is worth every penny for the access you get. The length of the visit is a full long day, be prepared to start early. The atmosphere at the Temple of Hatshepsut is uniquely imposing. Crowds at the Colossi were light, just a quick stop. The staff from the company were communicative from the booking right through to the drop-off. This tour is best for couples who enjoy culture and don't mind a long day. Our guide was a wealth of knowledge. One short story. In the Valley of the Kings, in one of the deeper tombs, all the lights went out for a few seconds. In the complete silent darkness, you could feel the weight of the mountain above you. Then the lights came back on, revealing the vibrant colors on the walls. It was a startling and unforgettable moment that highlighted the engineering of these places.

We booked this tour as a family and it was the highlight of our holiday.Hurghada Tours - Bastet Travel handled everything from the long drive to the tickets. The kids were fascinated by the Valley of the Kings. The experience is very well paced for a full day trip from Hurghada. All admission fees to the key monuments were part of the package. We spent enough time at each site to feel satisfied without being rushed. The atmosphere is purely historical, you are walking in the footsteps of legends. Crowd size was not an issue on our private tour. The staff were excellent, especially our driver who navigated the roads safely. This is best for families with older kids or teenagers who can appreciate the history. I have to mention the tour guide provided by Bastet Travel. He was fantastic with our children, engaging them with stories about the pharaohs and treasure. One funny moment happened at the alabaster factory. My son tried his hand at the polishing wheel under the craftsman's supervision and created a little souvenir. His concentration was a sight to see. It was a nice interactive break from the ancient sites. Lunch was included and had options for everyone. Seeing the Nile Valley from the viewpoint was a brief but beautiful moment of green amidst the desert.

We did the tour and the lunch break was perfectly timed.We were getting tired and hungry just as we arrived at the restaurant. The food revived us for the afternoon sites. The experience was well-phased. The meal was included and tasty. We had a full hour to eat. The atmosphere was casual and refreshing. Not a crowded restaurant. The Bastet Travel guide joined us, which was nice. Best for people who need a proper break to recharge.

We were glad we chose a private tour with Bastet Travel over a big bus.At Hatshepsut's Temple, we could ask about specific carvings without delaying 50 people. The experience felt exclusive and responsive. All fees were included. We spent a full hour without being herded. The atmosphere was more relaxed. We avoided the largest bus groups. The guide was ours alone. Best for travelers who dislike the herd mentality
