Do note that in this package, guide isnt included so you would need to request for a guide. But anw, we did request for a guide.
First of all, the process of the booking was made really smooth with Imperial Egypt. Hany was really good and made the whole booking experience, coordination and everything very smooth and easy for me. Honestly, this is one of the trips that i felt most assured and most relaxed in terms of arrangement cos Hany really did a great job.
Now to the driver and guide. I couldnt really remember our driver's name but hes really awesome ( I mean it). My parents wanted to get lunch and we wanted Shawarma... due to the lack of time, our driver actually went down to order and collect the shawarma for us from the shop while we were walking the temple such that when we finished walking Luxor temple, the shawarma was waiting in the car already. And he drove slowly on the way from Luxor to Karnak temple ( only 2.7km away) so that we can eat slowly and not feel stressed while eating . Really thoughtful and honestly, im really very impressed.
Our guide was Mohamed Abdo, who was really quite knowledgeable and brought the temple and its stories to life. He has a notepad to draw and show us what exactly he was talking about, so that we have a clearer idea of the story. Well, like what my parents said, had we not asked Mohamed to be our tour guide, we would just walk in and exit within minutes not knowing much. But it is because of Mohamed's explanantions, everything camw to life and was impressive. Great effort!
