Good tour of Seti I... - Good tour of Seti I Temple and Osyrion. Squeezing through a tiny hole to see the hidden chambers of the Dendera Temple was a high point!

Dendera Tour brilliant. Lucky to have Ahmed Bahaa as our guide - The Dendera Temple tour was excellent. We had Ahmed Bahaa as our guide. Ahmed, a qualified Egyptologist gave us the best tour in Egypt. Ahmed was highly knowledgable and he explained all the details excellently which made it very easy to absorb. Excellent tour.

Hathor’s Temple tour - Thanks to Nice Tours for this amazing experience. Visiting the Hathor’s Temple in Dendara was a real pleasure. Suzanne arranged everything for us and coordinated the activities. We got nice goodies as a present from the agency. Our guide Ahmed Yossry explained us everything about the history and the architecture of the site, as well as the religious and cultural aspects related to it. He took us inside and all around the temple, showing us the most interesting details hidden among the different carvings and inscriptions. A special mention to our driver too who drove us safely to our destination and back. The car was very clean and confortable.
