Amazing - Mariam and the driver were both very welcoming and hospitable. We only booked late the night before and were worried there would not be enough time to get everything sorted, but they turned up on the agreed time. Mariam is very knowledgeable and passionate, she answered all questions we had for her. We would 100% recommend.

Luxor West Bank Tour - We had a wonderful day exploring the West Bank.
Abdalla, our guide for the day was extremely knowledgeable and gave us several insights into the history of each tomb, and site we visited. He is passionate about his work which was evident in conversation throughout the day.
Abdalla was very thorough and detailed in his narrative and patiently waited as we took photos at each location. He did not rush us, and my wife and I felt very comfortable with his calm and friendly nature.
We definitely recommend getting a guide for the day as it makes the entire experience a positive and memorable one.

Great Informative Trip to West Bank - We had Abdalla Fouad as our guide. He was full of information tailored to our needs, accommodating with adjusments to our timings ( we arranged an hour earlier to miss some of the heat and business)! Smooth meeting and pick up, good pre trip information. Excellent spoken English.
Our driver Ahmed was great, clean car, smooth and safe journey. He even alerted us to when we left something behind and arranged for a collection.
Great trip, worth seeing all the valleys and not just the the Valley of the Lings

Absolutely worth it - Great trip, the guide was very professional and knowledgeable. Covered a lot of places in a day. Just to clarify the tickets are not included which makes sense.

Knowledgeable guide but the engagement could have been better - The guide was knowledgeable, but the overall experience felt awkward and not professional. I think his name is Mohammed. The day before the tour, he asked if the start time could be moved 90 minutes earlier. I declined because I had chosen the original time for specific reasons.
A few times on the tour he often walked far ahead of me or stayed behind scrolling on his phone, which made the tour feel unengaging.
As a solo traveller, I also noticed he did not offer to take photos and seemed reluctant, whereas other guides I had during my trip were happy to help with photos, which made the experience feel less welcoming.
Because of the atmosphere, I found myself speeding up the pace of the tour as I just wanted to finish and leave, even though I had paid for the full experience. Small things like this can give the impression that the guide is not fully interested in the tour.
Lunch was offered as complimentary, which I accepted to avoid seeming rude, but I wish I had not accepted it because it made me feel obligated to tip even though I did not enjoy the service.
Overall, the guide clearly had good knowledge, but the attitude and lack of engagement affected the experience. This was the only guide on my trip that I did not feel comfortable tipping, which says a lot compared to my other tours in Egypt.
