We chose the 5 star package and it was VIP all the way. Great guides, great accommodation, great food. The guides treated us as friends and not as "paying customers", very important difference.

Everything went very smoothly from the moment of pick up till departure. Our Guide Hesham Hamd was excellent! Had an astonishing amount of knowledge and was willing to answer any questions we had. He also gave us time to explore the different temples ourselves. It was a well paced tour and we never felt under pressure to move onto the next temple which can be a problem with tours in Egypt. Overall a great experience and I would highly recommend this tour and tour guide to anyone who is planning to visit Luxor.

This was by far, our best visit to the pyramids. Our group included teenagers and small children and everyone had a great time. Our tour guide, Wael, made the tour very informative & educational and got us access to places around the pyramids and Sphinx that we’d never visited before. Our driver, Mahmoud, was super nice, and the van was very clean and accommodated our large group. Overall, this was a great experience and we intend to rely on Go Travel for all of our future travels.

This was my first time in Egypt and it was phenomenal. We had a good guide called Fatima who explained everything well, and she was very funny and friendly. She explained things in a way that you could tell that she loves her work. She put her whole heart into helping us throughout the trip. She did not only tell us what happened at the temples or monuments, she also helped us get other things. (Like snacks and souvenirs) She is really an interesting person, and she does not make you bored at all. I really loved the company that us helped do this trip, they gave us wonderful hotels, and the places we went to see were very interesting.

Sabaa was hands down the most professional guide of our trip. If you go to Egypt, you don't actually realize how good your guide was until the trip is over and you find out the basalt statue you purchased is filled with concrete or you paid 20x the average price of something. This trip was a great way for us to end our 9-day Egypt experience after spending 7 days in hectic and smoggy Cairo. Sabaa was honest with us from the start and didn't feed us the positive-spin nonsense of things that are clearly less-desirable in Egypt - i.e. ticket stampers at tomb entrances parading as "guides" that guilt you into a tip. If you spend a lot of time in Egypt, you want a guide who is looking out for YOUR best interests - Sabaa is exactly that. The best example of this was during our tour of the Valley of the Kings. Sabaa informed us that we didn't have to listen to the "Tomb Guide" since he was not allowed to enter. Our previous guide told us that we had to tip these "Guides" who truly diminish the experience as they shout their broken record of inaccurate historical facts at you. In one Tomb, a ticket stamper became irate after we refused his tour and Sabaa quickly put him in his place, allowing us to enjoy the tomb in PEACE! This may seem minut but as a tourist, but having a guide that keeps the hounding shopkeepers and other aggressive salesmen was a breath of fresh air thanks to Sabaa. Some guides will run you up and down the wall about shops you HAVE to visit or other experiences they get commissions on. As a tourist, you want recommendations but you don't want to be constantly pitched things you politely refused the first time - Sabaa politely offered recommendations in gentle and professional manner. This was another breath of fresh air after another guide took us to a papyrus store and a park after politely declining both of them. Egypt tourism contains a lot of bad aspects that dull the experience and guides can either contribute to that dullness or show you the parts of Egypt that shine unlike any place in the world. Sabaa was such a bright ray of sunshine, the Pharaoh's would've mistaken him for the Pyramids - if you don't get this joke after seeing the pyramids, find a better guide.

The beautiful Dahabiya, Eyaru, was comfortable and well maintained. The boat staff was attentive and greeted us with warm towels and drinks to freshen ourselves after visiting the sites. The meals were delicious with quite a variety and the homemade breads were yummy! Being tugged up the Nile was an unforgettable experience that was organized by Mostafa Elgabry who made sure we saw and experienced all that we could. With a group of 27, people the ages of 10 on up, that is a hard thing to do, but we all agreed that he met all our needs. We had and excellent guide in Ahmed el Prince who was so extremely knowledgeable about Egypt. He even dedicated a night where we could ask him all things Egypt. Politics, religion, food, way of life etc. I came away learning so much and realizing I had much more to learn. I highly recommend this way in seeing the sites of Egypt. It was unforgettable and I enjoyed it so much!
