Greetings All, I am here just to say I had a priceless time in Egypt and cruising down the Nile. But what made my vacation super special was that I had Mr. Mohammed Albasha(aka "cousin") as my my personal guide/escort. He is beyond kind, professional and stands ready to assist. He even assisted me during times I was trying to figure out the currency. He is fantastic and his clients matter to him and and his bedside manner is bar none. Please take a chance on him, I promise you will not regret it. Respectfully, KG(USA)

An incredible temple, and not too crowded. The colors of the paintings are stunning. Very comfortable trip. Well worth it.

Great service and suggestion to pay the $1 to go into the tunnel. Wasn’t really visible as an option upon purchasing tickets so I’m glad he suggested I ask about it. Van was very clean and in great condition. I felt very comfortable as a solo traveler. Good communication and cautious driver Extreme courtesy and concern for my safe and proper delivery to Hurghada.

Had a lovely day with my driver Ahmed and my guide Sherry. I was picked up from my hotel on time and I felt very safe with Ahmed’s driving he also supplied bottles of water for me. Sherry is lovely she’s so informative and explains everything so well. I had a lovely day with her. I would definitely use them again and I highly recommend them

This was a fantastic tour that offered a deep dive and first hand experience of this historically rich area and culture. My guide, Mohamed, had a deep wealth of knowledge that he communicated well. He made what could have been a dry recitation exciting and interesting. Also, since I visited in the heat of the summer, having the waiting vehicle with air conditioning running was seriously appreciated. I Highly recommend this tour.
