Very good - Our guide on the tour (Eman) was really nice. She spoke good and understandable English. She was also very helpful when we discovered we had left our phone on the felucca. All in all a really good day. Our contact person Hossam was very friendly and helpful. She was quick to answer questions and if she couldn't answer right away, she quickly called back

Our guide , Nadya , - Our guide , Nadya , was absolutely fantastic. She was so energetic and enthusiastic (much needed after the early start and long drive) across the whole day - which made the experience extra special. Definitely want to thank her for making the experience so memorable , funny and informative! The different tomb and temple visits were well paced and didn’t feel rushed. Loved the trip down the nile too which was a great way to see a different side of luxor. Only slight negative was a trip to an alabaster shop which very much was a tourist trap but didnt detract from the day. Overall thus was a real highlight of our visit to egypt and would wholeheartedly recommend anyone to go on the tour!
