Great experience with Ramses today. We booked a car tour to visit the western part of Luxor. Ramses is a guaranteed success as a driver. Punctual, friendly, kind, and sincere. Even though he's not a tour guide, he gave us information about the various places we visited, and you can see that he's passionate about his work. Pleasant conversations during the trip, safe and enjoyable driving. Another trip? I hope Ramses is at the wheel!

Incredible experience with Mohammed

What a great experience. I cannot recommend our guide Mohammed highly enough. He was Incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely enthusiastic and passionate about Egyptology. I’ve done a few day tours in Egypt now and Mohammad was by far the best guide we had. We didn’t feel rushed or pressured into moving through the sites quickly or into visiting local shops (which we did on other tours). He took us through each site, explained everything in great detail, took the time to answer our questions with enthusiasm, then left us to take photos for as long as we liked. We were so happy with our first tour we cancelled our second with a different guide to go with Mohammed again. If you’re looking for a guide in and around Luxor I highly recommend asking specifically for Mohammed, you won’t regret it. Thanks for a great experience and for being so welcoming Mo. 🙏

Very informative and enjoyable experience

Had a fantastic day with our guide Ereen and our driver (who I can't remember the name sorry). We started at 9am and finished at 3pm so took full advantage of the places on the itinerary. Our guide was very knowledgeable and was happy to answer all our questions. They were both flexible and happy to go at our own pace. I strongly recommend you to book with this company because we didn't have the same friendly service elsewhere. Thanks for making our day a great one!

cracking tour and amazing experience exploring the West Bank. Highly recommend

Ended up switching a pre-booked tour with another company after spending our first day with our Guide Mohammed on an East Bank tour. He made the day so enjoyable and interesting, don’t miss out on an incredible day and memorable experience

Ramses is a good guy.

Ramses, the guide and driver, was a good guy! In plain English, the word "new car" (Shelley?) is used. It was a Chinese car called Arizo) and the ride was comfortable, and the air conditioning turned on quickly and worked. They come right after you've finished looking at the ruins. (Whats app is mandatory, but) I'm glad they can do it at their own pace.
