Most Knowledgeable and Friendly Guide Ever! - Mo Noor is the most knowledgeable guide I have ever had the privilege of traveling with -- in the world! I spent a few days touring the West Bank and East Bank of Luxor with him. He knows so much about the historical sites, and I learned a lot in my time with him. I also felt that he did a great job organizing each day, managing logistics, and was really a delight to spend time with. I highly recommend that you book your tour with him!

Mo and Mokhtar - best guides in Luxor and Cairo - Mo Noor was recommended to me by a friend. I could not have asked for a more patient, friendly, and knowledgeable guide! Mo accompanied me to both the East and West Banks in Luxor, tailoring the experience to the locations I wanted to see all in one day. He was a fountain of information and was able to answer all my questions. We toured the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Mortuary Temple, Colossi of Memnon, and visited a stone factory and essential oil, papyrus and silver/gold shops. We then continued on to Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple. The transportation was air conditioned and we always had plenty of water to drink. Definitely a 5 star experience and memories to last a lifetime. Mo also connected me to his friend Mokhtar Yonis in Cairo where I continued my adventure over two days. We visited the Pyramids of Giza and Sphinx, the Museum of Civilization, Khan El Khalili Bazaar, and then traveled down to Saqqara, Dahshur and Memphis. I wish I had had more time so I could have seen even more! Maybe I need to make another trip ;-) Thank you Mo and Mokhtar for providing such an amazing experience with so much knowledge and wonderful memories. It was incredible to see such ancient creations and learn the fascinating history of the Egyptian people. I highly recommend that everyone book with Mo and Mokhtar.

Add this one to your bucket list! - Both of my tour guides, Abdelrahman & Mohamed we’re fantastic. I came to Egypt alone from NYC. They made me feel comfortable and we’re very professional. They’re both educated young men with perfect English.
Luxor was BEAUTIFUL. Hatshepsut temple and The Valley of the Kings is a MUST. Bring water as you will be climbing a lot of steep tombs.
In addition to this, I opted for the hot air balloon. The BEST choice I made. Pick up is early in the morning but the view was worth it!

The highlight of our Egyptian trip - Our day started with the “must do”Hot air balloon rides, although it’s an add-on to our trip, it was 200% worth it. Now the trip to Valley of kings and Hatshipshu temple, our Guide Mo is the real deal. As a PhD. Candidate in Egyptology, he really set himself apart from your regular tour guide. We feel that our money well spent because we were getting real education of this ancient history, not just some folklores that’s made up. He had lots of patience and gave us plenty of time to look around and take photos, everything was well organized. Mo will for sure be our designated guide next time we are back to Egypt. There are just so much more to see

Outstanding tour with Pesh Tours! - This was one of several wonderful tours I had with Pesh Tours, with Abdelrahman as my guide. The sites themselves were incredible, and Abdelrahman provided the highest level of professionalism throughout. He is a true scholar of ancient Egypt, and his thorough explanations greatly enhanced my experience. I highly recommend it!

Fantastic day with Pesh Tours! - Our guide, Mohammed was fantastic! He is an EXPERT Egyptologist, and the depth of his knowledge was truly exceptional. He presented Egyptian history in a thorough yet accessible way, and kept us engaged, while ensuring we had plenty of time for photos, rest, and questions. The temple of Habu was a real treat, because the temple itself is beautifully preserved, and Mohammed made it come to life with details that I found very interesting as an engineer. He also had great suggestions for which tombs to visit in the valley of the kings, and the concise but thorough overview of egyptian history that he gave at the beginning of the tour put everything we saw in context. We encountered about 5 different tour guides during our time in egypt, and many of them were good. Mohammed was the best of the best.
