Rania is an absolutely amazing tour guide.
Communication with her has been very easy from the start. We arranged everything before the trip and she sent a nice guide to come and pick us even if we landed rather late. Next day she showed up on time and took us for our tour.
She told us so many interesting stories, explained very well the history of the new kingdom and ensured that in the space of 11 hours we ticked all the boxes on the different places we wanted to visit (west and east side) with plenty time to look around and lots of explanations.
During the day we also had time for a superb lunch on a roof terrace in the shade :-) and overlooking the Nile - amazing food!! (Much recommend the lentil soup).
We also had time for a stop at shops selling alabaster, cotton and essences. We purchased what we wanted but we never felt pushed and it was nice to have breaks from the sun (in air conditioned rooms and with fresh drinks).
Rania was very nice and got us drinks and also made time to visit a spice shop where locals buy - amazing smells and unbelievably cheap price.
Here the sites we visited :
Colossi of Mnenon
Valley of the kings (three standards tombs + Ramses V and VI + Tutankhamen)
Hapshepsut temple
Karnak complex
Luxor temple
We paid an excellent price - 90$ for 2 persons + 15$ for the ride from airport the night earlier (on the second day it was part of the drop off). We started at 7 and were dropped at the airport at 6:30.
Do not hesitate to contact Rania. I would recommend her to my dearest friends as she is very knowledgeable, extremely reliable (trust me I got other excursions cancelled at the last minute in Egypt), she is also patient and flexible and a very nice person.
Hope this review helped you deciding to give it a try! You won’t regret it!
