We really wanted to see all of the sights covered in tour and they were all spectacular. The tour ran really smoothly, communication with Egypt Booking (through Get You Guide) and the pick up was on time and drivers were really good. We took the optional boat trip across the Nile to get to lunch and it was all great. Our guide for the day, Amr Mansur was excellent and very knowledgeable, we would definitely ask for him again for similar tours (and sorry Amr, but I lost your mobile number). I highly recommend this tour

Osama our tour guide was amazing he is so insightful and informative and passionate about what he does, such a wonderful wealth of experience. Dendera temple is mesmerizing worth visiting there is so much beauty and amazing walls a trip to Egypt can not be complete without going there. The felucca ride was good we had three younger people captain the boat and where super nice. Only downside was the lunch wasn't too appetizing.

I’m Chinese traveling alone in Egypt. I accidentally take three trips with Nice Tours in three days. But didn’t think those can be that smooth and good. Tours are fully private and drivers and guides are nice to me. Especially the host Demiana, although I didn’t met her face to face, her care about my tour impresses me a lot. I’ll absolutely recommend Nice Tour.

Great, easy transfer from Luxor to Aswan. Friendly and safe driver. Literally cheaper than the train for tourists! Would recommend.

Whole crew was amazing, full of knowledge, kind and funny. Would absolutely recommend to anybody.
