AMIN WAS THE BEST! We got so lucky to have such a wonderful tour guide. Amin was so friendly, knowledgeable, polite, funny, great photographer, the list goes on. We were able to see all of the sites in Luxor that we’ve dreamed of and then some. I highly highly recommend Amin and this company to anyone visiting Luxor. It was sad to leave because we truly felt like we were leaving a friend behind on this trip. Amin thanks so much and I hope we cross paths again!

The West and east Bank tour in Luxor was absolutely amazing. Our guide, Mahamoud, was kind, respectful, and incredibly knowledgeable. He made the history come alive and really took the time to explain everything in a clear and engaging way. I felt really comfortable and cared for throughout the entire experience. The sites themselves were stunning, but it was Mahamoud who made the day unforgettable. Would 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting Luxor!
