  Waleed is an excellent tour guide - he was able to curate the day to fit our schedule and is extremely knowledgeable! We had a long day in Luxor starting at 7am and ending at 7pm, but he was with us the whole time and added in a boat ride in the Nile to the itinerary. It was also a very hot day on our trip but he was able to find us spots to cool down throughout all the sites. There was also no time wasted stuck at tourist sites for shopping, but at the same time if you want to see certain things (we wanted to check our Egyptian cotton) then Waleed can make it happen! Could not recommend this day enough, we are so glad we came to visit Luxor and to have Waleed guide us and share his passion for the city and its history

  Traveling alone I couldn’t get more lucky than having Walid as a guide. I didn’t have to worry about anything. Leaving the hotel was stepping in to safety of everything arranged for the best experience. Walid has a profound academic knowledge but also understanding on a deeper level and this made my tours to Karnak, Luxor, Dendera, Hatshepsut Temples, among other sites, simply extraordinary! A real dive into ancient Egypt’s world. This was an amazing experience for my heart, soul and mind. Thank you so much Walid !

  We booked the tour really late and Walid responded very quick and easy by Whatsapp. He picked us up in front of our hotel the same day at 2:30. We drove to Karnak temple in the back of a really nice car. When we got there we got over ruled by the beauty of the complex. Walid explained everything super easy, he is really wel bespoken in English and answered every question we had. He knew every spot in the complex, took us to the most beautifull places for photo’s (he is a superb photographer as well). Every minute the complex got even better as the sun got down. When we finished at Karnak (2 hours) we got picked up by the driver ditectly at the exit and we drove to Luxor Temple. Here again, great tour and super much information. The pictures were even better because of the sunset. All in all we loved every second of it. Walid made sure we didn’t have to worry about anything and we felt very safe and comfortable the whole trip. The driver is also a very kind man! It was a 10/10! Highly recomended!

  If you want to visit the real Egypt, do not search anymore! The Golden Joy travel is a trust company, that treats the clientes very well! We had an amazing time with all the guides! All of them have a lot of knowledge about the history of Egypt and about their culture! It was amazing the quantity of informations that we get! They were very helpful since the beginning! I just needed to book the flights and the hotels! They take care of everything (tours, entrance tickets, cruise, train, transportation)! Good hospitality and amazing knowledge for a fair price too! ☺️ We couldnt ask for more! Thank you so much! ☺️

  

  

• Rania is the best guide in Luxor !

  Rania is an absolutely amazing tour guide. Communication with her has been very easy from the start. We arranged everything before the trip and she sent a nice guide to come and pick us even if we landed rather late. Next day she showed up on time and took us for our tour. She told us so many interesting stories, explained very well the history of the new kingdom and ensured that in the space of 11 hours we ticked all the boxes on the different places we wanted to visit (west and east side) with plenty time to look around and lots of explanations. During the day we also had time for a superb lunch on a roof terrace in the shade :-) and overlooking the Nile - amazing food!! (Much recommend the lentil soup). We also had time for a stop at shops selling alabaster, cotton and essences. We purchased what we wanted but we never felt pushed and it was nice to have breaks from the sun (in air conditioned rooms and with fresh drinks). Rania was very nice and got us drinks and also made time to visit a spice shop where locals buy - amazing smells and unbelievably cheap price. Here the sites we visited : Colossi of Mnenon Valley of the kings (three standards tombs + Ramses V and VI + Tutankhamen) Hapshepsut temple Karnak complex Luxor temple We paid an excellent price - 90$ for 2 persons + 15$ for the ride from airport the night earlier (on the second day it was part of the drop off). We started at 7 and were dropped at the airport at 6:30. Do not hesitate to contact Rania. I would recommend her to my dearest friends as she is very knowledgeable, extremely reliable (trust me I got other excursions cancelled at the last minute in Egypt), she is also patient and flexible and a very nice person. Hope this review helped you deciding to give it a try! You won’t regret it!

• Fantastic trip to remember

  Very well conducted, had fantastic views would 100% recommend it! Only advice I’d take is make sure you have sun cream and a towel as the weather is so hot in the valley!

  The whole trip was absolutely brilliant! Rania picked us up at 8 this morning and we found her absolutely lovely and so knowledgable! She took us around Karnak, into the valley of the kings, to a stunning rooftop family owned restaurant overlooking the Nile (ask for the fish option!) and to Hatshipsut temple. Throughout Rania was enthusiastic and shared wonderful stories from the past, pointing out fascinating areas, filling in the historical context, and taking photos for us. She also got us sugarcane juice to sip and nearly moved us to tears describing the incredible life of Hatshipsut. There is clearly more to see and do near Luxor than can ever be fit into a day, but having a private guide meant we could choose our true priorities for our short visit. When we come back we will be looking Rania up again!

  We’ve seen all the amazing sights in Luxor in two days with our great tour guide Walid. The trips were well organised, including a kind driver who took us around from place to place. Walid puts effort in explaining things in detail, and makes sure to ask whether we need breaks or pictures taken. It was an overall amazing experience and I’d definitely recommend this tour to all my friends and family

  Our whole trip was spectacular from the beginning. We were met from Hurghada airport by Tony our driver and made the 4-5 hour journey to Luxor by air condition minivan. The journey should be done in the day to see the great scenery. First the desert and then the villages along the Nile from Qena down to Luxor. This is the real Egypt. The following day we were met from the hotel by Rania who took us to see the Colossus of Memnon and then on to Hatshepsuts temple and later on to the Valley of the Kings. These sights are too spectacular to describe in a single review. Each site was given enough time by Rania for her to explain the history and provide colorful stories that brought the Pharoahs to life. Between the ancient history we had time to take in an Alabaster stone masons and a hand weaving workshop. Both were added value to the day. After lunch at a really excellent local restaurant selected by Rania we were given time to rest back at the hotel and then were met by Walid for a City tour by caleche (horse and cart). Walids tour deserves its own entry because again it was a slice of real Luxor Egyptian life. Visiting the local market at night and trying local specialties such as freshly squeezed sugarcane juice. The locals were all extremely friendly and didnt hassle us. We finished our time with Rania and Walid in Luxor but they arranged the drive on to Soma Bay with Toni and I can honestly say that the Red Sea is great but it isnt the Egyptian experience we had in Luxor. Immerse yourself in the local culture and history to get the most out of Egypt.
