Karnak und Luxor Tempel (Osten von Luxor)

Mein Mann und ich reisten diesen Sommer in unsere Flitterwochen nach Ägypten und waren unsicher, wie wir mit der Planung unserer täglichen Aktivitäten beginnen sollten. Wir haben Go Luxor Tours kontaktiert und uns mit Michael per E-Mail und WhatsApp verbunden. Von Anfang an war seine Kommunikation schnell, klar und professionell, was die Organisation unserer Reise so viel einfacher machte. Michael half uns zu priorisieren, welche antiken Stätten wirklich einen Besuch wert waren und welche wir überspringen konnten, um Platz für andere Aktivitäten zu schaffen. Während des gesamten Planungsprozesses fühlten wir uns immer angehört und waren zuversichtlich, dass Go Luxor Tours die perfekte Reiseroute für unsere Reise erstellte. In Luxor waren wir begeistert zu erfahren, dass unser Guide Michael war, mit dem wir seit Monaten kommuniziert hatten. Er war unglaublich kenntnisreich über die Tempel und Gräber und machte die Geschichte des alten Ägypten lebendig. Er führte uns durch die Kunstwerke und Statuen und sorgte dafür, dass wir die Highlights nicht verpassten. Er war nicht nur ein Guide, er war auch der perfekte Fotograf und hielt viele Erinnerungen während unserer Touren fest. In Kairo war unser Führer Fady, der die Pyramiden, Museen und Nekropolen, die wir besuchten, ebenso gut kannte. Er war freundlich und leidenschaftlich über die ägyptische Geschichte und Kultur und beantwortete alle unsere Fragen mit Geduld und Interesse. Während unserer Cairo by Night Tour half Fady uns, die geschäftige Stadt mühelos zu navigieren, um sicherzustellen, dass wir uns sicher und wohl fühlten, und erklärte uns gleichzeitig die Geschichte der Moscheen und Architektur der Stadt. Wir können Go Luxor Tours wirklich nicht hoch genug empfehlen. Sie gaben unserer Erfahrung das Gefühl, dass wir Ägypten mit Freunden und nicht nur mit Guides erkunden würden und sie halfen dabei, unsere Flitterwochen zu einer Reise Ihres Lebens zu machen. Vielen Dank, Michael und Fady, für unseren Aufenthalt in Ägypten unvergesslich zu machen!

From the beginning Mike was incredibly helpful in planning our trip through Egypt with Go Luxor Tours. He helped us design an itinerary to see everything we wanted to see in Cairo and Luxor, we just had to book our own hotels which was nice because then we could stay where we wanted, though he also gave us recommendations for places to stay and we went with both of his suggestions, they were great!We then got to spend 2 days with Mike as our tour guide visiting the West Bank of Luxor for the valley of the kings and temple of Hatshepsut one day with a stop to see how alabaster is used. Mike was incredibly informative and friendly. He answered all of our questions and helped us choose the more interesting tombs to visit in the valley of the kings always making sure to find us shade or a cooler place when he was telling us about the history of each location as it was 50C. He helped us find great locations for pictures and even took us to a lovely spice shop when I asked if he had any recommendations for places to buy spices. Mike even joined us for a sunset cruise on the Nile giving us the opportunity to learn even more about Egyptian culture. The next day we toured Karnak and Luxor temples, stopped at a perfume/oil shop where I didn’t think we’d buy anything but still walked out with a couple essential oils because they were so good, and then Mike got us the best falafel in Luxor! Thank you Mike for such an amazing and unforgettable trip!

Our trip in Egypt and the Nile River cruise were truly incredible! We were on a private tour of seven with Mike, who has been a phenomenal tour guide for us. From start to finish, Mike's communication was exceptional, exceeding our expectations. He is very responsive and on time. His in-depth knowledge of historical sites in Aswan: the Philae Temple, Abu Simbel Temple, and the Nubian Village in is remarkable. The trips to the Karnak Temple, the Luxor Temple, the Hatshepsut Temples and the Valley of the Kings were equally inspiring and educational!! Mike also went above and beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable experience – from recording videos of the birds chirping along the Nile river, arranging a breathtaking hot air balloon ride, taking us to the essential oil, spice shops, the night market, and the stone factory per our request. He was truly an amazing person and guide who made sure everyone’s interests and needs were taken care of throughout the trip. As for our trip in Cairo, our friendly, knowledgeable guide, Faddy not only took us to the majestic pyramid, but also arranged our group for camel ride, an educational visit to the Egyptian museum, a stop at the papyrus shop, the cotton clothing store, and an authentic Egyptian restaurant for the delicious national Koshari. It was well planned and fun experience for us all! Last but not the least, my suggestion would be stay attentive to Mike’s tips about the culture and surrounding environment - it would save you a lot of stress and trouble. If you're looking for an enriching experience in Egypt, I highly recommend Mike and his team – he truly made our trip unforgettable!! Thank you!
