Mo is a very knowledgeable tour guide (PhD Egyptologist) and takes great photos. He even let me use his phone when my phone's battery died, which I appreciated. I would not have been able to see as much on my tight schedule without booking the tour. Our driver was great. My balloon ride was cancelled within 24 hours due to strong wind - if this happens the ride is only $40 so instead of asking for refund would recommend asking to substitute other experiences such as Valley of Queens/Medinet Habu. For VoQ be sure to add on Queen Nefertari tomb if budget allows ($60) as its value is priceless with its stunning colors. King Tut tomb add-on also worth it. I wish we had skipped the tout shops (would advise skipping perfume shop) and regret not spending that time at Hatshepsut. I agreed to just looking at Hatshepsut temple exterior but it is difficult to see any detail from the outside because the security barriers prevent you from coming close. The felucca ride is also weather dependent - my sailboat experienced no wind and was at standstill. Nonetheless, it was a nice way to end the evening as the captain let the sail down for a nice sunset photo op while I dipped toes in the Nile. The workaround was a motorboat that tugged us back to shore. The tour allows full customization by charging an additional $25/site -- for example, Ramesseum, Carter House, Temple of Seti I, Valley of Nobles. The add-ons added up and felt a little pricey since many of these sites are within minutes of each other and admission fees are not included. Lunch charge of $25 also pricey given local lunch prices (200-300 Egyptian pounds) although the food at Paris restaurant was delicious and served in tagines. Overall, I would choose to do the tour again because I appreciated the deep knowledge of Dr Mo as a university teacher; I liked the nuances he was able to share about each site. I was also extremely short on time (in Luxor for 1.5 days) so the tour's a la carte nature met my needs. Things that could be improved would be the tour agency shifting from business mindset to aiming to provide the best value for consumer. Dr Mo checked in with me several times during the trip to make sure I was having a good time and made adjustments; I believe he is responsive to feedback and strives to improve, which I appreciate.

Really enjoyed a jam packed day that felt well-paced and hit the biggest sights. Went with Hany Soliman who helped identify the most interesting experiences which was critical for making sure time was well spent.

Dr. Mo organized the tour. My tour guide was Hani Yassin and Ibrahim was the driver. Dr. Mo was attentive to my questions and concerns. Hani was very informative all throughout the tour. It was a long day, but it was definitely worth it. Highly recommended to go with his group. A few tips: 1. Book the earliest schedule for the balloon ride. Pictures are best taken at sunrise, and it will give you lots of time for the rest of the day. 2. Hani will recommend the best tombs to visit. Take pictures and don’t spend so much time. For a bit extra, visit King Tut’s tomb. You can see his mummy and take pics. You cannot do this with the mummies at the Museum of Egyptian Civilization. 3. Karnak is the highlight of the trip. The temple complex is just awesome and indescribable. Spend more of your time here. 4. Make sure you reach Luxor while there is still daylight. Then wait until the sun sets and the lighting is just magical. Highly recommended. You won’t regret it.

This tour actually started when Dr Mo contacted me thru whatsapp the night I booked my tour. It shows his dedication in taking care of his clients. The night before the tour, he again contacted me to inform him our room number for them to call us once they are in the hotel. The hot air baloon was amazing, the captain was friendly and did the 'Egyptian Landing' , next stop is with Dr Mo - this guy has a good sense of humor and he knows is craft. You can see the he is passionate not only in his work but he wants to see Egypt as a whole succeed. I asked alot about the history and even mentioned that maybe this was built by giants. lol. Another good thing with Dr Mo is his photography skills. Good Job Dr Mo and hope that you will have more clients in the future.
