An unbelievable 10 days in Egypt. - Absolutely amazing experience visiting Egypt. Mohamed helped us organized our itinerary and was fantastic at coordinating drivers, guides, etc. we visited Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, Abu simbel, and also took a Nile cruise. Big shoutout to our guide Hamdy who was wonderful both for customer service and explanation, and also Mahmoud who is very knowledgeable regarding hieroglyphic. Our guide in Cairo Mohamed Ramadan was absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend him!

Great tour € - Very good trip, Saber was perfect tour guide, no rush when we were at each place, we had time to take photos, explained everything we wanted to know but left us to explore some sites as we wanted. He was very professional and knowledgeable. We learned a lot and both the driver and him were very kind and we enjoyed learning about the West Side of Luxor. Thank you for the nice day! I highly recommend this tour!

Nice guys. Expected more from hiring a personal tour guide. - Guide and driver were right on time at my hotel for pick-up. Nice guys. At the first stop it became clear they tell their story and you go and explore by yourself and be back at a certain time. Fine, but being a solo traveller I would appreciate you taking some pictures of me as well in front of some of the stuff. All well...on to the valley of the kings. We entered and we walked up to a seating area. He said, you should go to three places and just pointed north, west and east. Little did I know that you only get three stops with your ticket. I thought that was the exact point of getting a guide...to show me exactly where to go. Needles to say I wandered in the wrong tomb and was refused access to the one I was supposed to enter because I used my 3 stops...If only I had a guide to show me the correct ones... We exited and I was brought to a place where I could witness the old arts and crafts of the old Egyptian workers..aka a commission trap where they try to sell you stuff. Expected, but read the room. I was out in 2 seconds. We drove to the next site, which was the temple of Hatshepsut. I managed to get some pictures taken with me on it, got a brief walkaround and was let go on my own again. We then drove to a beautiful location, for I must say, a very good lunch. After lunch I was done and afraid of more commission stores so I let them drive me to the hotel and just went to Karnak by myself.
Nice guys. But then I book a solo tour, I expect 2 things: Take some pictures with me on it and here it comes....actually tell me exactly where to go if I only have 3 stops at the Valley of the Kings (which they also forgot to mention) instead of pointing in a general direction. It's not like I come there everyday...you know.
Mediocre at best
