Mohamed alazeb, has been brilliant, very knowledgeable and amazing fun towards my 2 girls, would highly recommend using him. Our trip was well organised by essential Egypt Experiences and communication was spot on. Our driver was very polite, punctual and made the whole trip enjoyable for us and our girls, would highly recommend using this company and would definitely use them again.

We had a lovely tour to Luxor with Essential Egyptian travel. We started by asking them to make a custom private trip for us which was two days one night so we did not have to return to Hurghada the same day. This was perfect. They made an attractive offer including hotel, dinner, and lunches. They adjusted the rate when we chose our own hotel and dinner.  Communication was very good The driver was at our hotel at 5 am as agreed. Our guide, Mahmoud Gamal, was super! Very good at English and very informative about all the sites. He was very knowledgable on history and guiding us in order to enjoy everything hassle free. We did all the sites as he recommended in a good way to maximize time. The places they took us to for the lunches were good. Our driver, Mohammed, did a great job taking back and forth to Hurghada, and to all sites in Luxor. He was especially proud that our car was the first through all the checkpoints. So we could get a nice and early start on the first day. Thank you guys for making our first trip to Egypt very memorable. We will contact them again for our next Egypt experience!

This is the 2nd time we booked an excursion with Essential Egypt Experiences and like last time, everything was beautifully worked out and planned in detail. The guide was friendly and very passionate about his work. For us it is a no brainer to only book excursions with Essential Egypt Experiences again.

Amazing experience made so simple and enjoyable by Mahmoud (driver) and LT (Egyptologist). Picked up on time, made you feel at ease, very friendly and helpful Mahmoud took us to all our destinations in comfort and pretty much to the front door of everywhere we were going! Lots of different places to visit, first stop for a cuppa and chat about the day so we were fully informed and not left guessing what we were doing then into the valley of the kings - three tombs are included to go inside and look, LT sat us down and asked about what we were interested in seeing and suggested some tombs - they were all amazing- absolutely breathtaking and having more knowledge about what you are about to look at just makes it a little more awe inducing! If you want to go to king tuts tomb you do need to pay extra for this as the entrance includes three tombs but not this one. Then off to the temple of Hatshepsut which was again amazing, then a stop to look at an alabaster shop where you aren’t pressured to buy anything - literally 5 minutes of your day and was nice to see how it’s hand made in the area and we managed to squeeze in a quick stop to look at the collosi of memnon before lunch which was really tasty - they do cater for veggies too. After lunch on to an optional boat trip of the Nile - additional charge but you only go there if you have chosen to add this into your trip - it was £10 each and I really enjoyed the still of the Nile! Our last trip was to Karnak temple as we added this in too and it was just phenomenal! Couldn’t fault the day - organised around our choices and at no point did we not know what was going on. Felt safe and had an absolutely fantastic day, thank you essential Egypt and especially Mahmoud and LT! X
