Great tour with the “Professor” - Mansuor is fantastic in every way. Educated as an archeologist, he knows the history and can decipher what you are looking at in ways other guides can’t come close to. He actually teaches the other guides in the area, we ran into several of his former students who all clearly thought very highly of their Professor too. Hard working, punctual, flexible, friendly, and a genuine joy to be with, you could not ask or hope for a better guide. Mansuor was with us for all our day trips while on a cruise from Aswan to Luxor, and he was dedicated to helping us do and see everything we wanted to see. He can handle setting everything up, and as a teacher, if he isn’t available he knows plenty of other guides he trusts to help you. Since we were interested, he covered things in more detail than he said he usually would, it really felt like we took a private college class on Egyptian history without any annoying assignments. When we went to the Museum in Cairo after the tour, we frequently knew most of what was on the little description cards before looking at them because we had learned so much about all of it. I completely recommend Mansuor for any trips, you won’t find a better guide in Luxor (his home) or Aswan.
