Absolutely Brilliant - We (four of us) spent yesterday on a tour run by Here Egypt Tours to Luxor from Sagan’s Port, where we arrived by ship. Our drivers were highly professional, extremely nice and very informative. They were fantastic. Our guide, Hatam, was absolutely incredible. His knowledge about Karnak Temple, The Valley of The Kings and Egypt in general was extraordinary. The lunch we had and the time spent on the Nile were incredible. The whole day exceeded any expectations and was absolutely wonderful, perfect and utterly memorable. I could not recommend this company and their staff more highly. If you are in this part of the world you could do no better than booking with them and if we are lucky enough to come back we will book them again. The tours offered by our cruise ship paled in comparison to doing a private tour together. What a life experience that we will all treasure always. Huge huge thank you to Here Egypt Tours and the team. Gill
