We were fortunate to visit some places where most tourists and guided tours will not go. Because there were not many tourists in those sites, we were able to gain a much better experience to the temples and valleys. Most guided tours only go to 3 sites but we went to 6. The additional sites were beautiful and definitely worth visiting, even more worth visiting in my family’s opinions. The tour guide Mohammed was so dedicated and responsible. It’s Ramadan and he could not eat or drink anything during the day, yet he kept professional all the way through. We were very thankful for his dedication. I would highly recommend it to someone who is looking for an additional experience with tailored service. We really enjoyed it. Thank you!
Ahmed is a really prepared and attentive guide. He accompanied us to the main attractions, but also to lesser known places that are really worth it. These include the temple of Habu and Deir El-Medina. Really very kind and helpful, even to change route or waiting for us. In short, for any request we were satisfied. I absolutely recommend
Ahmed is such a nice person with his knowledge about Egypt and his sefvice. We had an excellent visit to the temples and tombs. Really recommend!
Mariam and the driver were both very welcoming and hospitable. We only booked late the night before and were worried there would not be enough time to get everything sorted, but they turned up on the agreed time. Mariam is very knowledgeable and passionate, she answered all questions we had for her. We would 100% recommend.
We had a wonderful day exploring the West Bank. Abdalla, our guide for the day was extremely knowledgeable and gave us several insights into the history of each tomb, and site we visited. He is passionate about his work which was evident in conversation throughout the day. Abdalla was very thorough and detailed in his narrative and patiently waited as we took photos at each location. He did not rush us, and my wife and I felt very comfortable with his calm and friendly nature. We definitely recommend getting a guide for the day as it makes the entire experience a positive and memorable one.

The guide was knowledgeable, but the overall experience felt awkward and not professional. I think his name is Mohammed. The day before the tour, he asked if the start time could be moved 90 minutes earlier. I declined because I had chosen the original time for specific reasons. A few times on the tour he often walked far ahead of me or stayed behind scrolling on his phone, which made the tour feel unengaging. As a solo traveller, I also noticed he did not offer to take photos and seemed reluctant, whereas other guides I had during my trip were happy to help with photos, which made the experience feel less welcoming. Because of the atmosphere, I found myself speeding up the pace of the tour as I just wanted to finish and leave, even though I had paid for the full experience. Small things like this can give the impression that the guide is not fully interested in the tour. Lunch was offered as complimentary, which I accepted to avoid seeming rude, but I wish I had not accepted it because it made me feel obligated to tip even though I did not enjoy the service. Overall, the guide clearly had good knowledge, but the attitude and lack of engagement affected the experience. This was the only guide on my trip that I did not feel comfortable tipping, which says a lot compared to my other tours in Egypt.
We had Abdalla Fouad as our guide. He was full of information tailored to our needs, accommodating with adjusments to our timings ( we arranged an hour earlier to miss some of the heat and business)! Smooth meeting and pick up, good pre trip information. Excellent spoken English. Our driver Ahmed was great, clean car, smooth and safe journey. He even alerted us to when we left something behind and arranged for a collection. Great trip, worth seeing all the valleys and not just the the Valley of the Lings
An exhaustive morning in Karnak and Luxor Temple. Mohamed is an extremely prepared guide, he gave us always detailed and interesting explanations, he was able to accurately answer any of our curiosity his presence added value to the visit of the two temples, already impressive to them. We recommend! Until next time
Ahmed was very helpful and flexible. Very nice and kind. We had nice talks. Showed me around the west bank, and even helped to do a very nice side quest which was so appreciated. Helped me take a lot of nice pictures. Thank you very much
