Let me write a short review for one of my Egypt tour guides. So, I visited tour to Edful and Qom. And if you are that person who likes adventure, then you would like this. Otherwise, pretty sure you won't. I got picked up last minute, super earlier than I was expected. But the person did tell me that that was going to happen.So the person who picked me up was a 19-year-old, super reckless driver. I mean, he's a 19-year-old. Um, didn't understand what I was saying or asking because he didn't speak English. He only took me to very expensive, um, places. And the whole thing was a scam. Except the

Beautiful sunrise balloon ride. We experienced the inflating of the balloon and then the 45 minute ride and then the deflating of the balloon and disembarking the basket. The view was beyond spectacular with both high an low altitudes. The crew was fun with singing and drums as we took flight. The initial communication was delayed which caused a 1 hour wait. The car was NOT luxury as mentioned in the advertisement.

We did a lot of different day tours with different companies during our time in Egypt and this was probably our least favorite for a number of specific reasons. First, the pickup was about 45 minutes late, and we missed the sunrise for the hot air balloon ride, we were waiting and wandering back and forth from our hotel room to the lobby to see if we could find our ride, and I was not able to reach anyone to help guide me. Later we were picked up by a guide who did a nice job but did seemed rushed and tried to get us to skip one of the temples, as well as to move the boat ride to lunch time to

Dr. Mo was the best tour guide we could've asked for! He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about every detail he shared with us. I learned so much in such a little time. Our trip wouldn't have been the same without him. He went above and beyond to assure that everything was perfect every step of the way. He was also able to show me the perfect place to get beautiful authentic jewelry, which was fantastic! The hot air balloon was breathtaking and being able to see all of Luxor from the aerial view was just awesome. We toured the Valley of the Kings, and even though guides are not allowe

RUN AWAY! SCAM! I advise you not to go through them. There are so many points: -the hot air balloon either you're lucky and you have a good pilot or you're in the fields for 20 minutes -we had to have a private guide, we are finally four with Japanese, our guide urged us to go fast while translating into both languages... - our guide describes the sights in the car and then goes to “the cafeteria” while we visit alone: because he considers it not “interesting” – we ask him to add the tomb of Tutankhamun, he asks us 20 euros per additional person, then 15 euros then finally 10 euros for 10 minu
