Very poorly organized, and unfriendly staff No respect at all of Covid 19 precautionary measure (staff and other participants) All start with a very unfriendly driver coming 30 minutes late to pick you up at your hotel. You will then join around 250 people all waiting to be dispatched on different boats, still very poorly organized with angry staff. When you reach the boat, you still have to wait before departure. In our case, pick up at 8:50, leaving the port at 11:00 You will then sail for 1h30 to reach a place where 20 other boats are already docked, do a short tour around one coral reef, compulsory to follow a "monitor" shouting every 5 minutes. Then move to the white sand island where hundreds of people are. Average food on the boat still with no respect of distancing, no gel available,... And 1:30 to go back to the port, where you end up in the same mess to be dropped back to your hotel...

Ramadan from Visit Egypt Now was my guide in Luxor and he contacted me when I was in Cairo to go through the trip with me. When I arrived in Luxor Ramadan was there to meet me at the airport and took me to the boat where I was going to spend the next four nights. He then explained to me that it was a private tour and that he would be my guide while I was in Luxor. Ramadan’s knowledge of Egypt was excellent and he was able to answer all my questions. He was very patient with me because I don’t like rushing and I walk very slow. Also, it was very hot when I was in Luxor and Ramadan made sure that I had enough water to drink. Ramadan never complained when I asked him to stop because I was exhausted from the heat and was happy to take photos for me. I would recommend anyone going to Egypt to go with Visit Egypt Now because they are a very caring company and nothing is too much trouble for them.

We had two magnificent days out with Shimiaa in the Valley of the Kings, Temple of Hatshepsut - and then in Karnak and Luxor Temple. Finished up with a felucca on the Nile. Shimiaa has great wit, is extremely energetic and knowledgeable and makes you feel at ease at once. She knows the area like the back of her hand and is steeped in Egyptology so can answer any question. In such an important and breathtaking place it is important to have a guide to match the magnitude of the sites - and Shimiaa is just that. Can't thank her enough for making our trip so memorable.

We arranged with Luxortourguide (all by email, all very efficient) for LET to collect us from our hotel, drive to Hourghada, and visit Dendara temple in route All went very smoothly, we were collected right on time by a very nice driver in a mini-van (with no other ) Would highly recommend! The site ( Dendara ) was amazing. Completely empty so we were able to get great photos. Also, this one the only temple I visited that gave you access to its crypt and roof. If you have an extra day in Luxor (approximately 1 hours away), Or if you will drive from Luxor to Hourghada as we did. I would highly recommend this tour and visiting this temple in route with Luxortourguide Company.

Probably one the best experiences my wife and I have ever had. Our tour company was in contact with us via WhatsApp from the very beginning to confirm our details and our pick up time in the morning. We were picked up at 4am promptly as detailed and made our way to our boat on the Nile where we were offered Coffee to start our early journey over to the West Bank then on our tour bus to the Ballon park where we met our fellow Tourists. We met our Pilot and was given a thorough safety briefing and after a short while we were airborne with a gorgeous Sunrise and a beautiful view of Luxor and the Valley of the Kings. Beautiful and serene is an understatement. Our Pilot made sure to point out all the various highlights along the way. Afterwards after our soft landing we met our absolutely wonderful guide Hatem. I cannot stress enough how comfortable and welcomed he made us feel and even more importantly how knowledgeable he was when it came to our tour of the Valley of the King's, Queen Hatshepsut's Temple and the Colossi of Memnon. We felt like we had our own personal guide that would answer any and all questions and knew everything there was to know about the History in the area. This tour hit all of the highlights in Luxor and we would book this tour again ourselves and highly recommend it.

We just came back from 7 day trip in Egypt and used Egypt Tour Portal. This was over a year in the making since the pandemic had put a stop on our trip. But we were able to finally go end of April 2021. I will be honest there were so road blocks with the planning of the trip and I know there were a lot of changes. I do have to say that towards the end of the planning of the trip the tour company, and Mohamad Zayed weren't willing to be as flexible as I would have hoped for. Furthermore, on the domestic flights that the company booked for us, they failed to check us in and communicating with tour guides that our flights had changed times. For example our flight departure from Aswan had changed by a few hours. Our tour guide didn't know and we got to the airport way early before the airport even opened. I asked the airline when the change was made and they said 2 days prior. This was extremely frustrating. Thus why my rating is a 4 and not a 5. I do appreciate their help in willing to accommodate us in the airport hotel in Cairo. Nonetheless, our tour guide, Omar Haridi in Luxor in Aswan made it worth it. Thank you Omar for all your help! You made our trip extra special with me and my husband awesome souvenir! I do recommend him for any of your Egypt travels. Thanks guys.
