Nana and Khalido were great guides and very helpful. We loved the Karnak temple, valley of the kings was amazing , Hatshepsut was impressive but don’t need so long here. We visited in July at 40c so it was super hot, however they were really helpful managing the heat. My daughter was travel sick on the way and struggled with the heat but they were very understanding and helped her get better, Nana did everything she could to make her feel better. The whole team were very friendly and Nana is extremely knowledgeable and super fun and kept the group moving well. It’s a lot packed into one day. The boat trip along the Nile was really special.

The excursion was really well organized, and our French guide El Tayeb provided a lot of explanations. A big thank you to him for his kindness and his answers to our questions about Egyptian history, the reading of hieroglyphs, etc. The bus had air conditioning and refreshing drinks all day long. Everything was top-notch

Excellent day. A long day yes, but well worth it. Pick up from the hotel was on time(Big plus for me) It was 3am and we returned back to our hotel at 9pm. The whole team was excellent. We had 4 pick up points on the way, then we had 2 pitstops for toilet breaks and leg stretches. On the journey and through the day water was supplied free of charge. Met our guide Nana who was excellent all day. Such a smiley happy person. Loved the photo book she had. Told great stories. Loved all our stopping points, the Nile ride was great (could have done without the loud music) Food in the restaurant was ok. I don't like the stop of selling places, but that's how they make a little extra. Found the stone carving demonstration very cringey. The way they all said things at the same time, was like trained animals at a zoo! Whole day was great, team excellent.👍👏 Remember it is very very hot at the valley of the kings😅
