Great tour, excellent transportation

We have been fortunate to have Mahmud as our guide and he could not do better. He has explained everything in great detail, knows a lot about temples and enjoys explaining. You see his passion. As a negative point, the drivers of the van, which was certainly very comfortable, were somewhat rude. As soon as we got in, they didn't let us put the hot air in when they picked us up, because it was cold. The rest of the trip was somewhat unfriendly, we were in a hurry... but nothing serious, but it could greatly improve the experience with more educated drivers. They even insisted on having a tip when they did nothing to deserve it. Of course, the road went very well and very fast.

Very good experience with Mina

We left for a 10-day stay in Egypt and we entrusted the organization of this trip to Mina - 2 days in Cairo - 3 days in Aswan - the 3 day/3 night cruise from Aswan to Luxor and the end on Luxor. Magnificent stay, very comfortable vehicles, we had several French speaking guides who had a perfect knowledge of ancient Egypt, always meet them on time and cruise in a beautiful boat. We highly recommend Mina for your trip to Egypt Alain and his family

Pleasant excursion

I recommend this tour with this agency. Communication with the agency was smooth and efficient on WhatsApp. Our driver was very kind, his driving was reassuring and he even offered us fresh juice from the crops on the road. The excursion lasts 2 hours in itself. It is ample time to visit the temples, take pictures and a snack on the site. The site is beautiful by far Our favorite of Our Tour of Egypt. Not to be neglected in your journey. Our guide was friendly and gave us good information. Just a note on the entrance fee to the temples (I want to say it was well specified on the reservation that it would be extra, no problem on that). Prices can fluctuate depending on the period. However we gave the information back to the agency which was as surprised as we were and was responsive to modify the information on its offer to avoid future disappointments to other customers. Enjoy ✌️

my tour was with a...

my tour was with a Spanish speaking guide and when we arrived there was an English one. In my booking say the entrance fees 255 EGP per person and I was charged 7,515 EGP per person, WHY!!!!!, please I want a refund.

Operator response

Dear Mr. Jorge, We regret the language used in the guide. However, considering your nationality ( American ), we assumed English would be suitable. Nevertheless, we have issued a $5 refund to compensate for the difference between an English-speaking and Spanish-speaking guide. Please note that entrance fees are not included in the excursion. I am not aware of any charges of 7.515 EGP/person. I believe you may be mistaken, as the excursion itself with a private guide does not cost this amount. The entrance fee to the temple is 600 EGP/person and is paid by credit card at the ticket office.

Great stay in Egypt

Terrific trip. Egypt is one of the most beautiful destinations. We visited Aswan, Luxor, Cairo and this trip was particularly successful thanks to Mina's impeccable organization of all our visits. Sincere thanks to all the guides and drivers who largely contributed to making all our visits unforgettable because they were commented in a passionate and exciting manner. Bravo Mina for the organization, congratulate your teams for their remarkable work. We highly recommend your agency and we will undoubtedly contact you again for a future second trip to Egypt: we still have things to do and see.

Fantastic trip from Aswan to Abu Simbel

Our driver was very professional. We had stops for drinks and a comfort break both ways, and he gave us plenty of time to explore the temples at Abu Simbel and take lots of photos. The car was modern, had air con, and we felt very safe and comfortable throughout the trip.

Excursion against the clock

The visit to the temple of Ramses II was very exciting, however, it is the race against time and tip!!! A mute and unpleasant taxi driver when he said 2 words Lots of information before departure: proof of your accommodation, passports, details for the morning appointment Better have wifi to make this excursion a reality The guide told us 10 words about the temple because he is not allowed to go home... surprising but true

Operator response

Merci pour votre retour C'est connue à Abou simbel comme dans la vallée des rois et la vallée des reines les guides n'ont pas le droit d'expliquer à l'intérieur de site mais à l'extérieur pour réserver les peintures d'endomagament
