Mubarak è una guida molto gentile e amichevole, è stato molto preciso e ha rispettato fedelmente il programma previsto, è venuto in contro alle mie esigenze e mi ha fatto trascorrere una bellissima giornata. Ho visitato tutti i migliori siti archeologici del west bank nel miglior modo. L'autista è stato molto professionale e l'auto molto nuova e confortevole. Consiglio vivamente questo tour

It was a fantastic tour, my partner and I were in the capable hands of Ereen and Ahmed. They started the day perfectly on time, shared with us what the local history was like back in antiquity and made us feel comfortable in getting around. They also were happy with us to miss one of the stops on the tour too as we had already been. We appreciated and valued the time they gave us. Highly recommend.

This tour was one of the highlights of my time in Luxor. The West Bank sites are extraordinary. Angie was an excellent guide: knowledgeable, clear, and engaging without overwhelming us with information. She created space for questions and was very kind. Salah was a very professional and careful driver, and everything felt well coordinated.

Luxor is beautiful. Ereen was a really great guide. She was informative but also adapted to what we were looking for. The tour company in general was flexible and did well even with a couple of initial hiccups. The day was beautiful and not very hot so all the walking was manageable.

Super experience where we could visit a lot more than the normal tourist spots. Habaa is a fantastic guide. I recommend everyone to book him.

We had a great time in this tour - Emad guided us very well on the tombs to visit and also explained and highlighted what we needed to focus on during the visit. Each of the places we went had its own learning and charm. Boggy took good care to ensure that we were comfortable through the tour. Thank you Emad and Boggy.

Many tours go around the West Bank + East Bank, but this is perfect for those looking to go around the West Bank in one day and the East Bank in another, as it only goes around the less accessible West Bank. Valley of the Kings → Temple of Hatshepsut → Visit to the Alabasta Craftsmen's Workshop → Medina (the hamlet of the artisans who make the tombs) → Funeral Hall of Ramses III → Colossus of Memnon → It was a total of 8 hours. It was quite a long time (less than 3 hours) because the Valley of the Kings was crowded, but the time adjustment is what makes private tours so appealing. I skipped the Valley of the Queens because the main feature, the tomb of Nefertari, was closed. I didn't ask for a guide at the ruins, but the driver Ramses explained it along the way, so I was able to find out about the old settlements near the Valley of the Kings and the list of recommended royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings (and how to draw customers at the entrance).

It was great to be able to decide for myself what time I wanted to watch. He helped me by giving me easy-to-understand recommendations for the Valley of the Kings and the location of the ticket office. It is better to include Whatsapp in advance as it will make it easier to contact the driver.

Wow - we had an amaaazing experience touring the Valley of the Kings today with Sayid and Tamir! It was our second day in a row having Tamir as our driver and it was just as pleasant and safe as the day before. Sayid is an incredible tour guide with a wealth of knowledge about Egyptian history and all of the temples. I feel very lucky to have been paired with him today! He has such a positive energy and he worked hard the entire day to make sure we had a fun and memorable day. It’s not every day you get paired with someone as passionate as he is. Thank you so much, Sayid! I also had to give a shout out to the alabaster merchant we stopped at on the tour. It was called Sekhmet and they had the best selection of gifts, vases, and statues. My wife and I had been looking for a statue of Horace for many days and Sekhmet had a very special one for us in their museum section. Debbis was the salesman who helped us out and he was very helpful and friendly. Him and the owner of the store, Ahmed, gave us delicious hibiscus tea and a good price for our special Horace statue. They even threw in a free gift with our order. We would highly recommend buying your Egyptian mementos at Sekhmet! Ask for Debbis and Ahmed. ;)

We had an amazing tour today with Sayed Gamal as our guide. We have had several guides while in Egypt and Sayed is our favorite. He took the time to explain everything in detail and answered all our questions. His English is great. Our driver Tamer was also good. The tour was very professional. We did a stop at a shop with beautiful statues and carvings named Sekhmet and found a lovely statue to bring home as a souvenir. We stopped at the Valley of Artisans and had a few locals tell us about the tombs - remember to bring small bills to tip these folks. We purchased extra tickets to see the tomb of Ramses 5/6 and it was worth it! Highly recommend - the carvings are beautiful and colorful. It was our favorite tomb. Lunch was a nice assortment of soups, meat, rice and veggies. My husband for chicken and I had beef - both were fantastic. We recommend sitting on the roof because the view is nice. The roof is covered and shaded.
