Together with the female guide Shimiaa Rabie we visited the King's Valley, the temple of Hatshepsut and the Colossi of Memnon. Shimiaa is an Egyptologist and you can tell; she has a lot of knowledge, speaks fluent English, liked to share her knowledge and she connected well with the questions of our adolescent sons. She clearly explained what to expect at which tomb and what you should definitely pay attention to. In short: a guide that is really an added value for your visit!

Knowledgeable Guides/Easy Booking
We spent three days touring Luxor - 2 days on the West Bank and 1 on the East Bank. Our guide, Hamdy, was excellent! He was knowledgeable and entertained all our questions. We learned so much about ancient Egypt and modern Egyptian culture. The drivers were great too. Egypt Tailor Made was responsive and easy to work with.
We also did a day in Cairo. Our driver and tour guide, Haythum, picked us up at the airport and we jumped into an awesome day at the pyramids of Giza and the Grand Egyptian Museum.
We were in good hands the entire trip! Would highly recommend. They also arranged an hot air ballon ride for us and a hotel transfer. Our family of four agrees Egypt Tailor Made - made our trip fantastic!!
An added bonus was supporting the local economy by booking with a local tour agency.

This is such a fantastic review, and it truly captures why we love what we do! It’s so rewarding to hear that your family of four felt "in good hands" from the moment you landed in Cairo until your time in Luxor was complete.
Here is a warm, human response for you:
"Thank you so much for this wonderful feedback! We are absolutely thrilled that our team could make your family trip to Egypt so fantastic.
It is great to hear that Hamdy in Luxor and Haythum in Cairo were able to answer all your questions—we know how curious a family of four can be, and our guides love nothing more than diving into both ancient history and modern culture with guests who are eager to learn. From the 'awesome' day at the pyramids to that magical hot air balloon ride over Luxor, we are so glad every piece of the puzzle fell into place for you.
We also want to say a special 'thank you' for your kind words about supporting the local economy. As a local agency, it means the world to us when travelers recognize the value of booking directly with the people who call this beautiful country home.
We will be sure to share your gratitude with Hamdy, Haythum, and our entire team of drivers. We hope to see you and your family back in Egypt for another adventure one day!
Warmly,

Outstanding Guide
Shamiaa Rabie, was an outstanding guide! Definitely 5 Stars! She guided with enthusiasm and a smile. Her English was excellent and she had a voice I could hear and understand. She was very informative but did not over burden us with unnecessary details. Shamiaa was always punctual in her appointments and very helpful in her suggestions and providing safety's tips. She was always with us and helped us make purchases in the markets. We would highly recommend her for any guiding activities!

What a wonderful review! It is so rewarding to hear that your journey across Cairo, Luxor, and Sharm was such an incredible experience from start to finish.
We are especially touched by your words regarding Manar and Kaxaty. Manar’s enthusiasm is truly contagious, and we’re so glad her passion made your visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum ten times better!
It also means the world to us that you felt so safe and comfortable with Kaxaty. We know that trust is everything when you're traveling with valuable equipment like a professional camera, and hearing that he took such great care of you—and your belongings—is the highest compliment we could receive.
Thank you for trusting the entire Egypt Tailor Made team with your holiday. We will be sure to share your "5-star" shout-out with Manar and Kaxaty; they will be so happy to know they made such a positive impact on your trip!
Warmly,

Great Day in Luxor
Another amazing day with Egypt Tailor Made! Ghada was a great tour guide, with many stories to share. She knew all the best spots in Valley of the Kings, and took pictures of me so I didn’t only have selfies. She took care of me like an auntie, making sure I wasn’t too tired and ensuring I arrived back at the airport safely. Thank you for a great day Ghada and ETM!

This is such a lovely review—there is truly nothing like that "auntie" level of care to make a trip feel special!
Here is a warm, human response for you:
"Thank you so much for your kind words! We are absolutely delighted to hear that you had 'another' amazing day with us—nothing makes us happier than welcoming back a familiar face.
Ghada is a gem, and we love that she treated you with such genuine care. We’ll be sure to tell her that you appreciated her 'auntie' style of looking out for you; she truly takes pride in making sure our guests feel safe, comfortable, and never too tired to enjoy the magic of Luxor. It’s also great to hear she helped you get those perfect shots in the Valley of the Kings so you could put the selfie stick away for a bit!
We’ll pass your thanks along to Ghada and the whole ETM team. We can't wait for your next visit!
Warmly,

Luxor - Egypt
Taylor made tour, tailored to our own needs!
It was perfectly planned out and that credit goes to our cousin!
Our guide worked incredibly hard to explain thousands of years of Egyptian history… and we worked equally hard trying to understand their accent. 😅
Together, we made a great team!
Despite the language challenge, their energy and dedication made the tour unforgettable.

Great Guide, Great Experience
It was an excellent experience! Shimiaa, our guide, arrived at the hotel right on time and shared the full history behind everything we were seeing. She also gave us plenty of time for photos and even pointed out the best spots to take them. Highly recommended!
Our driver was also fantastic—he kept the car cool with the AC on and stayed on-site so we could safely leave our belongings behind. Coming back to a refreshing car made the day even better.

And we’re so glad your driver’s attentiveness made a difference, too. Keeping the car cool and secure in Luxor’s heat is no small detail, and his professionalism clearly added comfort and peace of mind to your day.
