We loved our day with Ahmed around Luxor and Valley of the King. We learned a lot and enjoyed the knowledge and happiness of our guide. They were really accommodated to our little family and took so MUCH care of our 5yold daughter during the visits.

Professor Ahmed Elsisi was an excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable, humorous and made the day very memorable. Early start but that meant we got to the attractions early and managed to fit everything in. The lunch was lovely and the day excellent value for money.

Had a day tour to Luxor visiting the Valley of the Kings together with a river cruise on the Nile. Our driver was prompt, on time and very courteous through our day. Our guide and Egyptologist, professor Ahmed Elsisi was extremely formative, knowledgeable, cheerful and answered any questions we had through our tour. We stopped for lunch at a lovely restaurant service fresh food and produce. Such an enjoyable day and great experience.

This was the best tour we had during our travel in Egypt. The guide, Ahmad Elsisi, is actually a professor at the university of Cairo. As a result, he was so knowledgeable, and able to teach us so many different things. As a result, what we saw in pyramid, GEM, Aswan and finally Luxor are nicely together after his lecture. He and the driver are also both very kind and accommodating and took a lot of pictures of us. The balloon ride is crowded but very fun and the valley of the kings is so beautiful. Lunch is traditional Egyptian and pretty good. A long but very enjoyable day. Want to come agai

We had a great trip to Luxor with our guide, Mousq Elnady. In good English he shared beautiful stories about the ancient history of Egypt, full of fun details and "did-you-know" insights that made everything come alive. The whole day felt relaxed — never any rush - which made it even more enjoyable. If you want to learn a bit more about the temples in Luxor, the Valley of the Kings, and the fascinating history behind them, Mousa is definitely a guide I can recommend!
