Fantastic! Our guide Aladin is an excellent storyteller who made both our trips an unforgettable experience!
We had a great tour and pleasant trip. Sayed has a lot of knowledge, explained everything excellent in German to the whole family and showed us hidden details. Highly recommended!
We booked the Private tour west bank, valley of the kings, temple, lunch with Far and beyond - a flawless, 5-star experience from end to end. Our guide, Hambi, was exceptional. His knowledge and enthusiasm brought the sites to life. Hambi and the driver ensured a smooth, professional, and easy journey from pickup to drop-off. We enjoyed an amazing, superb lunch at Malkata (Malkata House Hotel Restaurant) with views toward the Valley of the Queens. Highly recommend this premium and memorable tour package!
We were guided by Hamdi, who is a knowledgeable Egyptologist and a good guide. We started the day with a hot air balloon ride and had a great breakfast at Malkata house. Far and beyond also arranged our tours to Abu Simbel and the Giza pyramids. All tours were good.
We booked a two day tour of the East and West Bank in Luxor and would highly recommend it! Our guide Hamdi was fantastic, he knew so much about everything we saw and showed us many important details that we would never have noticed on our own. The lunch at Malkata House was exactly the kind of energy boost we needed at noon - sooo delicious and extremely generous, in a very beautiful and tranquil setting. Luxor is a destination not to be missed when visiting Egypt and the people here were all very helpful and welcoming. Certainly a holiday we will not forget!
The tour was fantastic! Our tour guide Khalid was very friendly and could tell us an incredible amount! We have been able to gain a great experience:)
