This tour booking was great. Seamless arrangements, we did not have to plan for anything. They booked the flights at great times to see everything, not too short or too long. We used every minute of our time! They even coordinated pick up and drop off for both Cairo and Luxor airports and hotel. Upon arrival in Luxor, we were met by our amazing guide, Nirvana. She happened to be a native of Luxor with the most knowledge of the area and history. A true Egyptologist!! I asked so many questions and she always had an answer about what we were seeing and experiencing. You can really tell Nirvana has a passion for Luxor and made us feel like she enjoyed spending the day with us sharing the feeling and vibe of the city. Felt more like hanging out with a friend from the area by having conversations verses a formal scripted tour. Because it was just us, with her and the driver, we got the freedom to customize even by spend more or less time at stops as we wished. We were able to visit every site we requested, even adding a couple to the established itinerary. Nirvana and the driver put in the extra time to make sure we were always happy. The tour also included some stops to watch and learn from real Egyptian artisans (Alabaster, cloth, oils/perfumes, jewelry, papyrus) at work, which was an unexpected highlight. No pushy sales, but some opportunities to buy, if interested. We even found ourselves back in Cairo telling others about the things we learned from Nirvana and the artisans as we visited the Cairo museums. I would and have already recommended this tour to others. It does cost a bit more than some others out there, but it was more than worth it for the private car, drivers, guide and arrangements all with individual personalized attention at every stop along the way. Also, I must add that we are native English speakers and Nirvana spoke amazing English, super easy to understand and communicate with all day. Our tour driver spoke great English as well. The owner, Osama, of the tour company also checked in via WhatsApp to ensure everything was smooth and satisfactory. What great customer service all around. A big Thank You to all that made our day trip from Cairo to Luxor perfect!
