“A perfect guided tour of Luxor – knowledgeable, clear and very enjoyable”

Our guide, Ayman Ahmed, was simply outstanding on both days – extremely knowledgeable, yet always very friendly and pleasant. On the first day, he gave us a perfect introduction to the Karnak and Luxor temples. He didn’t just show us the vast complexes, but explained their development across different pharaohs and their religious significance – particularly the cult of Amun and the Opet Festival – in a way that was both clear and fascinating. You never felt like you were simply being ‘herded through’, but rather that you were truly understanding the context. On the second day in the Valley of the Kings, he specifically showed us particularly impressive tombs, including those of Ramses VI, whilst vividly explaining the significance of the wall paintings and the conceptions of the afterlife. In Hatshepsut’s mortuary temple, he also provided an excellent overview of Hatshepsut’s special role and the background to her reign. All in all, a perfect blend of knowledge, structure and pleasant company – highly recommended!

Dear Jorg, ​Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and detailed words. It was truly a pleasure and an honor to be your guide during your journey through Luxor. ​I am thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our deep dive into the Opet Festival and the complex history of Karnak and Luxor Temples. For me, Egyptology is not just about showing the stones, but about bringing the vibrant stories of the Pharaohs and their spiritual beliefs—like those in the Tomb of Ramses VI—back to life. ​It was a joy to share the unique legacy of Queen Hatshepsut with such an engaged and appreciative guest. Your curiosity and passion for history made our two days together truly special. ​ I wish you many more wonderful travels, and I hope to welcome you back to Egypt again in the future! ​Warm regards, Ayman

“Experiencing Tokyo with a local in the know”

We had a wonderful time on our Tokyo tour Kahoko, which was an unforgettable experience. The tour gave us a fantastic opportunity to immerse ourselves in the local culture, from visiting historic sites to experiencing the vibrant atmosphere of Tokyo’s neighbourhoods. We truly made the most of our time in the city, with an itinerary that was both efficient and packed with amazing experiences. One of the most helpful parts of the tour was the guidance on navigating Tokyo’s complex train network. We never would have been able to figure it out on our own, but with the expert assistance, I felt confident traveling around the city. Another highlight was seeing Tokyo Station from above the street level, offering a unique and stunning perspective of one of the city's most iconic landmarks. Kahoko provided handy tips and advice for the rest of our trip, including guidance on how to buy Shinkansen tickets, which saved us so much time and stress. Overall, I highly recommend this Kahoko for anyone visiting Tokyo.

“I was so comfortable with. Had a fabulous day. ”

My first GoWithGuide, my first solo trip and my first trip to Japan. How fortunate I was to select Carol as my guide. She not only showed me the sights I was most interested in in but taught me how to use and navigate the Tokyo transportation system for the next day on my own which worked out perfectly. We also had a memorable stand out lunch. It was a great introduction to Japan. Carol also took photos of me enjoying the sights that she promptly shared with me for my Facebook post.
