Luxor

Sayed Gamal was the best guide we had in Egypt, by some distance. He is a genuine Egyptologist, not a script-reciter. He knows the history properly and he has real passion for the stories and the myths — the difference is obvious within ten minutes. What mattered most to us: he was endlessly patient with our 11-year-old and kept him genuinely engaged throughout. That is not easy. Most guides either talk over a child's head or talk down to them. Sayed did neither. We travelled in the peak of summer heat and his enthusiasm never dimmed once. If you are visiting Luxor or Cairo with kids, book him. Contact: +20 10 05297685

Superb experience with the guide Noby snd the driver

We did our tour with Noby and he was just absolutely amazing’!! He came to pick us up way before the pick up time to make sure we don’t lose any time in the day. Then he took us to all the sites that was promised. He explained all the details and history very clearly! He is so knowledgeable!!! It was a very hot day but he tried his absolute best to keep us in the shade as much as possible . And above all these he was very kind and nice!! Took our pictures..: took us to a beautiful place for lunch. Made sure the AC was turned on even before we get on the car each time! Also a big shout out to the driver!! He was also very nice and kind. We had such a great time!!

All of West Bank

Amazing experience. Great sites. Well worth it and doable in one day. We went early so avoided most of the heat of the day. Car was cool and spacious and clean. Driver Tamer was polite and kind. Our guide Sayed was knowledgeable and had the right balance between information and small talk. Showed us the best tombs in the valley of kings. Lunch was also very good!!

Thankful for our guide

Our tour in Luxor was truly one of the best travel experiences I've ever had. The highlight of the trip was our incredible guide, who was exceptionally knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about Egypt's rich history and culture. Every site we visited from the ancient temples and tombs to the rich ancient Egyptian history, he ensured that every moment was engaging and enjoyable. His deep understanding of Egyptian history, combined with his friendly personality and attention to detail, made the tour seamless and our kids were very engaged and enjoyed the stories. Thank you Sayed Gamal and Ahmed the very attentive driver for making out trip in Egypt such a memorable experience. Highly recommended!

Great day in Luxor!

Angie was an outstanding guide! She was so kind, informative, and patient. We asked to stop for shopping and she found us a great spot with no problem. She added in an alabaster factory stop that was a great experience! Our lunch was delicious and we managed to avoid the crowds everywhere we went. Ahmed was the best driver and was a pro at finding shade whenever he could. We had a wonderful day touring the West Bank!

Karnak and Luxor temples

This experience was truly amazing, whether it was the extraordinary Karnak temple or our guide who shared all his knowledge with great passion and humor, not to mention the last-minute arrangements when we completely forgot to change the time of our excursion and the fact that we were suggested to delay our meeting to be able to watch the sunset over the Luxor temple; everything was in place for us to have an unforgettable moment. I warmly recommend this guide and his energy, as well as his driver. The time was very well organized between explanations (always with the presence of mind to do it in the shade) and free time for us to explore and take photos at our leisure. The only small downside, which is not at all their fault: the exorbitant and non-negotiable price of drinks at the Luxor temple, once we said goodbye to our guide.
