East & West Bank tour Luxor - Mohammed at reception at Jollie ville was extremely helpful and we booked all our trips in Luxor through him. Actually listened to what we wanted to do and designed a tour around it. Our driver for both trips was Moussa (Moses), very nice man who spoke good English, although he wasn’t a tour guide he was still very knowledgeable and helpful answering questions we had. I travelled with my mother and sister and he was very attentive with them which was nice. Great trip would definitely recommend.

Adventure with a Expert - I never leave review but I am spending a week in Egypt with my dad and this has truly been a highlight of our trip so far. We were paired with the BEST English speaking tour guide and Egyptologist, Abdalla. He was extremely knowledgeable, patient, respectful and made sure we got the absolute best experience possible. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you ask for Abdalla. He will make it worth your while. His service was so great that we are considering staying in the city longer to get another tour from him. Our driver was awesome as well. Don’t skip this tour during your stay in Luxor, especially if you can get a guide that’s an expert Egyptologist like Abdalla. You won’t regret it.

Nice - Visited the Valley of the Kings. Very beautiful with the only disadvantage that guides are not allowed in the tombs. They do provide explanations before you enter. The Valley of the Noble is also recommended because it is about daily life and the guides are allowed to go there. The temples of Habu and Hatshepsut are both beautiful to visit. Be sure to have a guide who can provide you with the necessary explanations.

Well organized from the guide, knowledge and (German) language Skill was OK. - Well organized from the guide, knowledge and (German) language Skill was OK. Organisation: Very Well! The Tour included Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, Alabsta markets/Factories and memnon kollosses. It was time flexible: WE skipped alabasta (because WE we're exhausted) and took more time at the valley of the kings. But He never stressed time and it was all in all very flexible. He had all the Tickets (even Tutenchamun) in Person, so WE never Had to wait in the Ticket lines. He also Had Money change (smaller notes) and translated with a Tourist Souvenir Dealer, so we could get a better price. WE never Had to wait, when WE didnt want to wait. He called the Driver Always in advance so He was ready when WE came (5/5) Knowledge and guidance: He knew the Basic information, but could Not answer some of our follow up questions. Sometimes He seedmed a little bit annoyed of our follow up questions, but thats Just Interpretation. His German was OK, Sometimes His pronunciation was hard to understand or wrong (3/5). All in all He was nice and took great Care of US, thank you so much!
