We had a great experience in Egypt with our guides Mohammed in Cairo, and Rocky (Ragab) in Aswan and Luxor. Both were very knowledgeable in ancient Egyptian history, and modern culture. They spoke great English and answered any questions we had. I would definitely recommend them, along with Explore Plus to anyone interested in seeing the real Egypt.

We can’t recommend Mina’s tour company more highly! They are very professional, on time, with great information to make your vacation special. They are also very reasonable! It’s not worth the hassle to use any other tour company. To get the most out of your time in Egypt, call Mina, you won’t be disappointed!

We booked a private boat with Dua. She was an awesome tour guide. She explained the history of the village and the Nubian culture. It’s a way to cool off.

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.

Before anything, don’t think twice, ahmed is the best option... Ahmed is the best!!, since the first moment we arrived to luxor ahmed was very caring and accomodating, he’s car was a blessing, super comfortable and nice. He’s extremely commited with details and always is looking for the best experiences for his clients, our felucca tour at nile was magic, he arranged for us a perfect picnic with incredible egyptian food. Regarding the tour to temples, he was very flexible and available to schedule changes, he took us to every place we wanted to go, with patience and great attitude, always waiting for us with cold water, (believe me this was a nice touch at 42 degrees), our guide saied had tons of knowledge about ancient egypt, was friendly and welcoming, besides speaks perfect spanish, my travel across egypt last 14 days with different guides and travel agencies and without any doubt, ahmed and saied were the best ones, I’m simply grateful and happy because thanks to them, my honeymoon was perfect. 100% recommended don’t think about it, he’s the best option.

The cruise was very well organised and everyone was super helpful and nice. Mohamed messaged me straight after booking and the cruise and made sure I felt welcomed from the go. He was waiting for us when we arrived at the airport and everyone did everything they could to make our life easier; they bought us a SIM card (as we needed one), they stopped at the pharmacy when we needed as well and provided us with water bottles in the van before visiting the temples. They were superb! Our guide, Shady, was amazing! He was really patient (with all the photos we took) and we could tell he was really passionate about the History of the temples we visited. He spoke Portuguese which for us was really good as our mother doesn’t speak English. We loved him and we really appreciate the fact Mohamed went above and beyond to find us a guide who spoke our language and was so knowledgeable. The only thing I would add is that I think the cruise should include at least one water bottle per meal but we knew drinks weren’t included in the cruise, this is just an idea for improvement.

We had a wonderful time visiting Abu Simbel with our tour guide Makbola. The company was very efficient and professional, we booked only the day before and they quickly arranged everything. It is a very good service and price competitive. The drive to the temple was smooth, the car was new and we were able to rest in the car. I totally recommend them!
