Summary: Our Valley of the Kings and Temple of Hatshepsut tour with Nasco Tours was an incredible experience! Everything was well-organized from start to finish, making it easy and enjoyable to explore these historic sites. Our tour guide, Mamdou, was very informative and patient, sharing fascinating stories and details about ancient Egypt in a way that made the history come alive. He took his time to answer our questions and ensured we were comfortable throughout the tour. A big thank you to Toka for arranging everything so smoothly — her coordination made the whole experience stress-free and memorable. Highly recommend Nasco Tours for anyone visiting Luxor and wanting a professional, well-guided, and insightful tour! 🌞✨

Summary: I did several tours with Nasco tours in June, July and August with several drivers, also I did a transfer from Cairo to Alexandria and one from Cairo to Sharm el Sheikh. All drivers were friendly, strict on time and more importantly they were all safe drivers! The price is at least comparable to other companies, while their cars are modern and well maintained. All trips were booked for me by Asmaa at Nasco, who was really quick in responding each time I had a question. Next time I am here again, I would definitely book trips with Nasco again!
