Would happily have him as a guide again anytime

I had Ahmed Emam as a guide for a private day tour in Luxor, which included the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut, the Karnak Temple, and the Luxor Temple. We started early in the morning; the car was in good condition, and the driver was friendly and drove responsibly. Ahmed was very pleasant, friendly, patient, flexible, and knowledgeable. His English was good. I enjoyed the day with him.

Amazing experience!

We had the best time with Ahmed. He picked us up on time, explained everything to us, he has a great knowledge of history and was able to answer all our questions. He told us the story of every place we visited, with dates and details. He even helped us with taking photos and made sure we catch our bus on time after the tour. He is just too experienced and very polite. I totally recommand booking this tour, we covered everything in one full day.

First class tour , highly recommend

Fabulous day. Ahmed tailored the day to our exact needs. He was punctual and communication before was excellent. The tour started the moment he picked us up explaining the history of Luxor before we went up the West Bank. At valley of kings he made recommendations as to what extra tombs to visit otherwise no queuing for tickets he organised it all in advance. He is very knowledgeable and stopped for drinks and food when we need to . We are using this business again this week and hope to arrange another day before to go home.

Response from the operator: Dear valued guest, Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a positive review of your experience with hello Egypt We are thrilled to hear that you had a wonderful time exploring the beautiful city of Luxor. Your kind words mean the world to us
