Mohamed, a very friendly and accommodating French-speaking guide, discreet, professional, and very dedicated. Essential for this type of visit; the driver is also perfect with a nice air-conditioned and comfortable car, good driving, and considerate. The lunch was excellent. However, we were very hot at the sites.

Patient and accommodating. Mahmoud dedicated himself to explaining the various monuments, mummification, and Egyptian symbolism. Attentive to the client's needs and patient. Courteous and thorough.

Until the time of the appointment, we received no news from the guide confirming the outing or the pickup location, so we were not sure he would come. We were disappointed that Ahmed, the guide, gave us a very brief tour of all the sites, sometimes not even moving with us in front of the monuments to provide explanations. It felt like he wanted to finish his day quickly and do the maximum in a short time... We also had to insist to go to the Valley of the Queens, even though it was scheduled in the day's itinerary. We left at 7 AM and returned at 2 PM, so the visits were very brief, and we were reminded when we needed to go faster. It's a shame; we would have liked to enjoy the sites more, especially since we paid for a guide.
Great experience with Abu, who took us to visit the main temples of Luxor.

Me and my friends had a wonderful tour with Ayman. Everything was very well organized, and the whole experience was both enjoyable and informative. Ayman shared a lot of interesting information, answered our questions, and was friendly and professional throughout the tour. We really enjoyed our day and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great guide in Egypt!
