We took the 5 day crouse from Luxor to Aswan and included Abu Simbel, that place is a must! - The Cruise was perfectly organized, we had a different local guide in spanish in every city and atraction. Most of the guided tours we were just the 3 of us, so it was more personalized and we could stay longer or shorter in different places. All of the guides were proffesional guides with extremly good level of Spanish. Or coordinatior Nam Bassam, was all the time present in WhatsApp to answer all our questions and sent us the dayly program. Perfect vacations!!

The best guide ever - Laila is very knowledgeable and thorough with her explanations and knowledge of anixient Egyptian history and symbolism. She taught us how to navigate through not only the temples and statues, but the local vendors, guiding us to opportunities to find quality souvenirs at reasonable prices. Thank you!

One of the best tours we’ve had - We had Salma as our guide and she was one of the best tour guides we’ve had! She was accommodating, detailed, friendly and knowledgeable. She made sure that we were all enjoying ourselves and made sure to go into depth about the history of each site we visited. She didn’t rush us, gave us as much time as we needed, and was really easy to talk to. I came down with a headache at one point due to the heat of that particular day, and she went out of her way to get me tea and offer anything I would need to make sure I felt okay. I would highly recommend her if you’re looking into a tour guide for Luxor! You would be disappointed. Thanks Salma :)
