Best trip to Luxor and Aswan - It was a wonderful experience great tour very organized with a very good tour guide and driver. It was planed very well . We visited Luxor it was a nice town. We went to Karnak Temple, and the Valley of the Kings. Additionally, we went to Abu Simbul from Aswan. We enjoyed the Felucca ride around the islands of Aswan and the fresh breeze while witnessing the magnificent scenery. However, the weather in May was hot, but we had to do it during that time.

TOP EGYPTOLOGIST- Ms. Shimiaa in Luxor. - Ms. Shimiaa was an amazing guide for Luxor! She is a very knowledgeable Egyptologist who can even read hieroglyphics! I really liked that she took me to only one top quality business for souvenirs and helped me negotiate great prices. She also taught me about Egyptian culture during our travel. Ms. Shimiaa is very Highly recommended!

Amazing visit to Luxor - I'm so glad I reached out to TailorMade to help arrange my time in Luxor. They customized my itinerary to my interests, recommended things I had not thought of, and took the stress out of planning. Most importantly of all though, they connected us with an amazing tour guide, Ghada. Ghada was phenomenal. She and our driver, Mohmed, spent three days with us showcasing many tombs and temples, sharing recommendations and tips, and taking care of us. We felt like we were VIP with Ghada. We always felt safe, always felt looked after, and she went above and beyond per job requirements. Anyone would be so lucky to have her as their guide. Our experience in Luxor was only elevated by her presence, knowledge, and generosity. Having a guide helps provide so much more context to what you're looking at. I could not recommend TailorMade enough for crafting such personalized and enjoyable tours.

Valley of the kings - Incredibly fun and educational holiday, we spent 2 days in Luxor, where we had a guide called sherry boshra. We experienced an incredible amount in the few days we were there, we visited many different places that we otherwise wouldn't have managed on our own! So Thank you very much to sherry!!

Best days in Aswan & Luxor - We spent 4 days between Aswan and Luxor with our wonderful tour guide Hesham. Hesham is very polite, very knowledgeable about Egypt and it's history and such a pleasant person to be around. No question was too hard, no special request too much. He also left plenty of time to explore the temples and ruins on our own and waited patiently at the entrance which we enjoyed a lot. We also want to thank our driver Mohamed who was truly one of the bast drivers we had and we can only recommend him!

Aswan & Luxor. What an amazing and unforgettable trip! - Had the most amazing trip with our guide Ghada, who took care of us like family. She absolutely fascinated us with her story telling skills and enriched our knowledge about the history of Egypt. Apart from the usual role of a guide, she is the warmest person we have met in a long time, she got us fruits when we were hungry, bought us traditional desserts once I mentioned craving for some, stopped for an impromptu break to get us some heavenly falafel sandwiches, took us for the best shawarma and koshary meals and so much more! The two days’ tour of Aswan and Luxor we had booked was smooth, well coordinated and we were very comfortable in the company of Ghada and our driver Mohammed. Our spirits were high and we had enjoyed to our hearts’ content. Thank you so much, Ghada!

Egypt Tailor Made Tours - I can't say enough good things about Egypt Tailor Made Tours. After spending time in the Cairo and Giza areas, we boarded a plane for Aswan to see the sights and toured all the way to Luxor. What an experience! They took such good care of us, made sure we had good, clean food to eat, plenty of water, and saw any and everything we wanted to see. Our guide, DJ Kalid and skillful driver Memo really delivered and made our trip flawless. We felt safe and protected everywhere we went. They catered to our every need and I felt like this was worth every penny! No big tour buses for me! Driving around in a van was the way to go!

Choose Ghada Hagagy for an incredible experience in south Egypt! - I highly recommend Ghada as your tour guide for Luxor, Aswan, and Abu Simbel, Egypt! As a second-generation tour guide & native of Luxor, Ghada is superbly credentialed to introduce you to Egypt's treasures. Not only can she tell the story of each antiquity / location, she can answer your questions, understanding what you're really wanting to know, and sharing generously in her knowledge. Her English is great, and she understands 100%. (As we overheard other tour guides, we realized how lucky we were to have Ghada.) On a personal note, Ghada shared so much about local culture: the different tribes of people, customs, quirks, history, and trivia, which immensely enriched my experience. With Ghada you don't only see with your eyes, you experience with your brain and your heart. I wanted to meet local people and she brought me to them, which made me feel that I was experiencing "the real Egypt." Ghada is a sweetheart and we felt entirely safe under her care--even me. She looked after us as if we were her own family. I'm particularly grateful that she was able to gracefully accommodate a few unexpected snags. We arrived very jetlagged and very hungry, and we arrived at the airport a little cranky / lethargic. She took us for falafel (the best falafel of my life) and coffee, and on we went to Karnak. Also, my husband has a health condition that makes him heat-sensitive (a bummer during August in south ernEgypt in 2023) and deftly navigated, pivoting to sharing as much info from the comfort of our air-conditioned van and efficiently escorting us through the sites. She obviously genuinely cared that we had a great time, actively figured out who we were & what we wanted, and tailored our experience to fit us. We only had 3 days in southern Egypt and while we definitely didn't see everything, we saw what I'd call Level 1 Egypt and have been enticed by what awaits us on our next trip. My personal two favorite things were the Valley of the Kings (spend the money to see Seti's tomb! It's worth it! And obviously King Tut) and the 4-hour drive down the agricultural roads from Luxor to Aswan, where I saw the real Egypt. The long convo w. Ghada about Egyptian history, culture, and belly dancing was maybe the best part of the trip!! :) She also took me to the best bookstore / antique postcard store in Aswan, where I got the mementos I dreamt of. Also if you love the hibiscus tea like me don't miss the spice shop. And boy is there plenty to do! With Ghada's help I have a long list of very off-the-beaten path experiences (Level 2 and Level 3 Egypt) that I dream of doing. Also, our driver Mohammed was highly skilled, deftly navigating the Egyptian roads (which are anyway much safer than I expected). Three cheers for Mohammed! We highly recommend Ghada for your Egypt tour! PSA: Egypt is a tipping country. Remember to tip your guides no less than 15%!
