“Thorough Tours with a Personal Touch - I appreciated how easy it was to make the travel arrangements. Mohammed took care of it all and made sure to confirm the details with me multiple times. As far as the tour, Mahmoud was our friendly driver and Safa was out tour guide. Mahmoud went out of his way to minimize travel time, even by paying an unofficial toll on new routes in Luxor. Thanks, Mahmoud! And Safa, hope I’m spelling her name correctly, she could write a book of information on the sites and the culture. She knew so much! She made sure everything was easy to understand and that I left the tour with more than just a high level understanding. Others around us would sometimes listen in on her explanations, because she was that good! I wish I had more time for this tour, as they were able to offer even more activities that weren’t even listed! That included visiting a local Souk! But my overall trip was ending, so I needed to head back home. The tour company operator Mohamed, met me at the end of the tour and sat with me for coffee, which was unexpected. He really makes sure to add a personal touch and to show his appreciation! I recommend this tour to anyone.” - Reviewed at 2023-11-22
