Question Looking for Reliable Tour Guides in Cairo and Luxor

[NomadicVistas]

Hi, we will be traveling to Egypt in mid March and are looking for recommendations for knowledgeable and reliable tour guides in Cairo and Luxor. We're particularly interested in guides who specialize in history and archaeology, as we want to make the most out of our visits to the pyramids, the Egyptian Museum, and the Valley of the Kings. If you've had a great experience with a guide in these cities, we'd love to hear about it. Also, any tips on what to expect in terms of pricing and how to arrange these tours would be super helpful.

For Cairo and Luxor, I highly recommend connecting with local guides who are certified by the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism. They often have deep knowledge of history and archaeology. In Cairo, look for guides who specialize in the Giza Plateau and the Egyptian Museum. In Luxor, guides with expertise in the Valley of the Kings and Karnak Temple are invaluable. Pricing can vary, but expect to pay around $50-$100 per day for a private guide. Always confirm details like inclusions and transportation beforehand. Have you considered checking reviews on travel forums or apps for personal recommendations?
