An amazing experience organized by an incredible tour company!
Wow, where to begin... Ok so my fiancé and I planned our short trip (3 days) to Cairo knowing only three things we absolutely had to do while we were there: Luxor, Cairo, Felucca ride on the Nile. With a short amount of time in Egypt we were keen to search for a day tour to Luxor and initially booked our tour with Luxor Private Tours with Ash. Within in 10 minutes of booking, Ash reached out to confirm the details. Not only did Ash confirm the details, he provided more information and personalized our experience. After days of communications (and Ash is a great communicator!), he organized our custom tour in Cairo based only on the things we wanted to do (including the Egyptian Museum, Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Camel Ride, Lunch and some market shopping). In addition, he organized all of our airport transfers. We couldn't have asked for a better experience given our short amount of time in Cairo. Arriving in Cairo, Ash organized a driver to pick us up at the airport. They were there when we arrived and dropped us at our hotel. The vehicle was clean and comfortable. On our day trip to Luxor, Ash paired us with Egyptologist, Mohamed, who was absolutely incredible! He was so knowledgeable and patient throughout the entire tour. We asked a LOT of questions and Mohamed answered all of our questions - we felt like we were back in university as we experienced some of the ancient Egyptian history. We toured all the locations as part of the tour BUT in addition, Ash organized an hour felucca ride on the Nile and Ash met us on the felucca with a delicious Egyptian lunch. It was a beautiful day full of education and learning, great food, and great company. Airport transfers were organized as part of the tour in Cairo and Luxor which was so helpful. We didn't have to plan anything - Ash had it covered! We toured Cairo on our last day. Ash paired us with another Egyptologist, Shirin, who met us at our hotel and we began our tour with the Egyptian Museum. Shirin was very knowledgeable and we really enjoyed the museum - we spent about 3 hours there (and had not notice the time!). Next we went toured some shops specializing in natural products, papyrus and essential oils. Afterwards we toured the Giza pyramids, the Sphinx, and camel ride. Shirin was patient as my fiancé and I wanted to get a LOT of pictures from different angles - and she was helpful with taking our photos. Leaving Cairo, Ash organized our airport transfer. Our driver was the same for our airport transfers and Luxor/Cairo tour - Mohammad. He was great driver with great energy - also incredible helpful. Overall, our experience was undoubtedly AMAZING. We felt so lucky to have connected with Ash and for him to have organized such a great trip for us. We have some many memories, pictures, and experiences. Being able to customize our experience based on what we wanted to do was the icing on the cake! Thank you Ash, Mohamed, Shirin, Mohammad for making this an incredible and memorable experience. We look forward to the next trip and we will book with this tour company. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone looking for a private/customized Egypt experience to reach out to Ash. Thank you!
