Gabriel’s Karnak and Luxor temples - If you want an incredible experience with a guide who will explode with information that immersed you in the history of the Luxor and Karnak temple, you must book your visit with Gabriel. He was intelligent, funny and patient, as he was very generous with his knowledge and very charismatic.

Felt like quite a basic... - Felt like quite a basic tour - very rehearsed talk for 10-15 mins, pointed out some bits then given free time. Ok as an introduction but not very in depth. Probably would have preferred walking round alone. We didn't eat most of the included meal as it was cold.

Disappointing experience and poor coordination - I had a disappointing experience with this tour and would advise others to book with caution. Firstly, the tour advertised an Egyptologist guide, which was a key reason I chose it. However, the guide provided did not meet that expectation and did not seem to have the level of expertise implied. Secondly, there were issues with the pickup arrangement. I had clearly requested a 2:00 PM pickup from the West Bank. Despite this, the driver arrived about 40 minutes early and insisted that we leave immediately. When I requested a brief 10-minute window to step out to a nearby shop, the driver was unwilling to wait and left, saying he would return. Shortly after, I was informed by the tour operator that the driver would not be coming back, and I was asked to make my own way to the meeting point. This meant I had to travel from the West Bank on my own, which was both inconvenient and not what was agreed upon. Overall, the coordination and communication were not handled well, and the experience did not meet expectations. I would recommend confirming details very clearly in advance or considering alternative operators.
