Excellent Tour - Khalde was a great tour guide. He took us to a variety of sights & an excellent restaurant for lunch. My family & I all enjoyed the food, was extremely tasteful! Most definitely recommend booking with him because he explained the history of every sight very well.

Luxor Experience - This review is for tour guide Khalid Elsaady who I was with at Luxor. Khalid was very punctual and flexible giving me time to see sites a little more as well as working with my schedule when I was very tired. He was very well informed in ancient egyptian history and helped take alot of great pictures. I had some GREAT Egyptian food through his recommendation, my first time eating Egyptian food and it was so tasty. I recommend this tour and recommend you get Khalid if you are getting on this tour.

Great tour!! I loved it. - We loved our trip! A driver picked us up and waited with us until we were on the train. Our guide Hani picked us up and we started the tour immediately. Hani was very knowledgeable and attentive to our requests. We loved every site we visited. They took us to a coffee shop to kill time until our departure back to Cairo. The driver picked us up and waited with us til the train came so I liked how they made sure we were safe and continued our journey. If you are pressed for time like us then this trip is worth it.
