My friend and I had one day to visit Luxor and chose Marsa Alam Tours. The good price, reviews, and private tour first attracted us, and the service really exceeded expectations. We booked the tour the day before, and they were fantastic with reaching out quickly to coordinate all the details. Both our driver, Amr, and our guide, Mohammed, were very knowledgeable and friendly and worked with us to tailor the experience to what we most wanted to see (Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, Valley of the Kings, and the Alabaster shop were my faves). Mohammed even helped us avoid pushy souvenir shop workers and with haggling when we did find stuff we wanted to avoid the tourist up-charge (although all souvenir shops along the way are extremely overpriced). I would highly recommend them for those looking for a more personalized tour!

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.

It was a great experience sailing the Nile and it is something that you must do. But when you are doing this with a great guide and great tour operator then everything is amazing. We travelled on a small-group Nile Cruise with Mody Tours. From start to finish, Mody Tours was by far the most accommodating tour operator and Ahmed answered many questions for us and made us feel very secure and confident. We have to especially thank Hany, our group Egyptologist and Tour Guide, who was super kind, helpful and very funny. Also he was well informed about the places we’ve been visiting and he explained beautifully all the historical information. He was willing to help us with everything we may needed and he made us feel very good (even if we were travelling with 2 young children and we had some difficulties). Finally he has been arranging for us a testing (PCR) in the most comfortable way, the sample has been taken from the hotel. (Just keep in mind that is very expensive around 2100 Egyptian pounds, nothing to do with the operator). So we highly recommend Mody Tours, Hany and Ahmed. They all made our cruise an unforgettable experience!!!! This country has stolen our heart and we will definitely return to Egypt. Thank you!!!! ‎السلامة

We did several trips with Aladdin. He was very flexible and everything was well organised. And most of all I think we got a great value on a fair price.

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.
