Guide was fantastic fun, showed me around made sure I got what I wanted made awesome recommendations. 100% would do again!
thank you and we hoop see you again
Wonderful the Tour that Taie and Mostafa prepared for us, in the morning Taie picked us up at the hotel, noz invited us to a coffee with some delicious snacks typical of the area, from there we went walking while we received an impeccable explanation in Castellano, to finish where we wanted to go, to the largest and specialized store in Papyros since it was what we wanted to see and buy the most. Later we followed the route through the Luxor Market with Mostafa and showed us beautiful stalls where to buy souvenirs. All in all an incredible experience, both are professionals and beautiful people. RECOMMENDABLE 100%
We met two guides, Taie and Mostafa. From the first moment they knew how to help us in what we were looking for, they took us to a spectacular papyrus factory.. they invited us to Egyptian tea and lunch and allowed us to contact and discover really authentic craft stalls. We had problems at one time with the currency to pay and were very effective, fast, and always thinking about our personal satisfaction of our visit to Egypt. One of them even knew Spanish, thus enjoying the experience to the fullest. 1000% RECOMMENDED IF YOU COME TO LUXOR!!!!!
