We have learned many things about Egyptian history. The restaurant she took us for lunch during the tour was very good local restaurant which serve good Kebab.

Thanks Noah for all your time and effort!Written 24 July 2024
- Paradise618830597190 contributionsVIP trip and excursionsWhat a fantastic time we had with our guide and now good friend, Barry, on some unforgettable VIP trips - we left feeling like true VIPs.

- Paradise618830597190 contributionsLuxor trip with BarryWe had an absolutely fantastic time on this trip and were very lucky to have such a brilliant guide in Barry. The trip covered all the ancient Egyptian temples and tombs we wanted to see in Egypt. Barry was so friendly and extremely experienced/knowledgable, able to answer all our questions and we left feeling very fulfilled with our day! We only spent 2 days and left feeling as though we’d experienced the best of Luxor, all thanks to Barry and his family. Thank you!Written 24 July 2024
- ashleysL7202AK0 contributionsWould recommendBarry was a wonderful tour guide. He was attentive to our needs and very knowledgeable about all of Egypt. Plenty of cold water was provided as well as a lot of facts about the places we visited.Written 24 July 2024
- Kiwi4720 contributionsFantastic tour, highly recommendHighly recommended, Noah was extremely knowledgeable and answered any questions we had along the way, he read the hieroglyphs on the temple walls to us and explained what everything meant, the day was well planned out and didn’t feel rushed at all even though we only had a day to see as much as we could. I normally always try to do everything myself but I would strongly recommend booking a trip with the Opulence of Egypt as it streamlined the whole process, our guide was very easy to communicate with, we weren’t hassled at all everywhere we went, and we were picked up and dropped off at our hotel doors. Thank you Noah Thomas 🇳🇿Written 20 July 2024
- U3492QFpaolac0 contributionsBest experience to date! VIP treatmentMy husband and I booked this last minute and it was the best choice we made on our trip to Egypt! Or wonderful tour guide was professional, charismatic, thorough, and made us truly feel like VIPs. There is no better way to come to Egypt and get a private tour than this. I did have some prior knowledge about what we were going to see but the amount of details and elaboration he shared were unparalleled. He continuously goes to courses to keep himself up to date and you could tell by his answers. We felt safe, at ease, and are so grateful. Thank you for making our Egyptian experience a magical one!Written 7 July 2024

- sofinadventures0 contributionsLuxor needs to be done with MarwaOur guide, Marwa Fatafeat Elsoker, was the best tour guide we’ve had on our Egypt trip so far. She was very informative and helpful and attentive to our needs. Her guidance and explanations really enriched our time in Luxor. I truly believe that I was able to enjoy Luxor more because of Marwa. From the Valley of the Kings to Hatshepsut’s Tomb, to Colossi of Memnon, and more, we had a wonderful time with Marwa. Ask for Marwa!!Written 19 June 2024
- C1071RUjosephb0 contributionsWonderful tour with the best guide, MarwaWe had a really lovely two days being toured by Marwa Fatafeat Elsoker, she was very informative and helpful. The sites were breathtaking and Marwa's explanations were wonderful - can highly recommend her! She showed us around the valleys of the Kings and Queens, the colossi of Memnon, Hatshepsut's temple, the nobles tombs, and the karnak and luxor Temples. It was the perfect addition to our trip.Written 19 June 2024

Noah gave us an amazing tour. He is personable and very funny, as well as making sure that we were okay in the heat. I would highly recommend his tour. His English is excellent and he was able to help us with finding safe food for someone with allergies. In addition, he is very knowledgeable about the tombs and temples we visited. I especially enjoyed visiting a local artisan shop and touring the historic town/tombs of the artisans

Our tour guide, Noah, met us in the morning and had everything ready to go for the day. We were able to visit the Valley of the Kings as well as several temples and other tombs. Although it was extremely hot (111 degrees Fahrenheit), our tour guide ensured we stayed hydrated and out of the sun as much as possible. He also made sure we were well-informed of merchants trying to rip us off, and he explained every aspect of the sites carefully. I felt that all of my questions were answered appropriately and professionally, and I felt safe and cared for the whole time. Noah was quite friendly and personable. I would highly recommend his services.

Marwa was such an amazing, fun, knowledgeable and great guide - the best we’ve had in Egypt so far. She helped us come up with an itinerary that worked for us, had great explanations and insight, and had a great relationship with all the locals we interacted with. We went to the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut’s temple, Memnon’s colossi, tombs of the nobles, and Valley of the Queens. She was so charismatic and it was very easy to plan, communicate and spend the day with her. Highly recommended!! Ask for Marwa Fatafeat Elsoker when you book!

Marwa is a really excellent guide - we were so delighted to be hosted by her on our trip! She took us on a custom tour to the Valley of the queens and West bank, and was knowledgeable about the sites, sharing the stories of what we were seeing. She is a great facilitator, and was able to help us time our entrances to the tombs "just so" to get the best possible experience.

This is my second visit to Luxor's Valley of the Kings, formerly known as THE KING'S DOOR. Barry, my guide was so full of knowledge,
and his easy way of explaining AND adding to what I already knew made this a more meaningful experience. I walked away, knowing more and appreciating what I saw. THANK YOU, Barry, for a fun and exceptionally informative experience that made me see and understand the tombs in a different way.

I had the best day exploring the West Bank in Luxor. My guide Barry was very informative, kind, patient and helpful. He offers so much insight into life in Luxor and the ancient world that goes beyond the normal. This is one tour I highly recommend and Barry takes the BEST photos.

Well organized tour. The tourguide Barry was very friendly, helpful and told me a lot about history and culture in a special way. The little stories made it easier to remember and less boring than only a summary of dates.
