Roshdy aka Mr. Bombastic was a wonderful tour guide filled with knowledge and was very accommodating! He answered all of our questions and gave us time to explore all locations after telling us the history behind every site.
We had a group of 5 and booked a custom tour with Luxor and Aswan Tours. Our experience was an unforgettable trip and our days were a good balance of history, fun, shopping and down time. One of our favorite memories from the trip was sailing on the Nile at sunset! The Luxor portion of our trip was made so much better by our incredible tour guide Ahmed. He was so patient with our group (we had a few food allergies that required some navigation), genuinely loved to share his knowledge, and added a few impromptu spots during our days that were not originally on our itinerary. One bit of feedback for the Luxor portion that guests would like to know: when we flew into Luxor we had to get ready in the airport bathroom for the day… we began our day by leaving for the Cairo airport at 3:30 am, landed around 8:00 am, got ready at the airport, toured all day, then finally were able to check into our hotel early evening. We made the best of that situation and were grateful for our well thought out itinerary, but it would have gone smoother if we knew ahead of time and were able to prepare ourselves and our packed luggage to be more easily accessible for getting ready in the airport.
Demiana again was terrific for the 2nd day in a row! Very knowledgeable and patient and for every question you ask her she knows the answer! Great experience
Excellent. Definitely recommend
A fantastic experience, the culture, the tombs all their history, the guide who accompanied us made this experience even more interesting and to finish a refreshing tour of the Nile
My tour guide Roshdy Khodary was very knowledgeable and had a good balance between showing me round the sites, then giving me time to walk around the site on my own. We started at Karnak temple where Roshdy explained everything very clearly. It then meant when we went to the other sites, I knew what I was looking at in terms of symbolism and key markings.
We had an amazing experience going back 3000 years in history. Our tour guide Mohamed was certified guide who was excellent explaing all the sites we visited.
I had an absolute pleasant and extraordinary discovery day with Hassan. Very clear explanation, interesting shopping stops with refreshments and some fun. I definitely recommend his tour.
Our guide Roshdy Khodary was perfect. Kind, efficient, competent. He toured us around Luxor’s ancient temples explaining their history in a very interesting and knowledgeable manner. Highly recommended!
The tour and tour guide, Khaled, were fantastic! Khaled was extremely knowledgeable, and we learned so much. The best part was the Temple of Hatshepsut. Would highly recommend the tour and Khaled as your guide.
