Awesome Guide - Had a great day with our guide Karim! Funny, and informative. Really enjoyed. Wasn’t interested in the mandatory stop at the tourist trap coffee shop on the way so he kept to a minimum just to allow driver to get coffee. Our lunch at local restaurant was some of the best food we have had. Totally worth the visit! Request Karim if you can!

Ahmed and Omar! Definitely the best. - I only have one word to describe my experience with Sueño Travel: Amazing! I wrote to Ahmed on Facebook after seeing his recommended name on several occasions, he not only put me together an itinerary including everything I asked for, but also adjusted it to our budget. In Cairo he brought us into contact with Omar, who was just as professional as he was, with that touch of “friend” that one always appreciates. He even protected our pocket with people who wanted to take advantage of us to get something else... Thanks Omar! You're a big one. Then Ahmed accompanied us at all times from Aswan to Luxor, his communication was perfect and he is even an excellent photographer!🤩🙌🏻 From this trip we not only took the best experience in Egypt, we leave with 2 great friends. I will recommend them today and always. Thank you so much fat!

Very expensive. Not worth... - Very expensive. Not worth for the price paid. Moreover the trip did not include tickets and lunch. Though the guide was there, there was not much to cover. The guide did not enter the temples and briefed the history and other artifacts by showing pictures she carried. Not sure why she could not enter the temples. The most bizarre part of the journey is the guide demanded 500 EGP for each driver as tips at the end of the trip. We had two drivers. First of all, this trip was so expensive and on top of that this unexpected tip requirement wa least expected. However, the guide was very friendly and helpful through out the journey. Moreover, I had already given tips to the guide as a token of appreciation.
