“If you book, confirm who will actually be guiding you.”

I spent a lot of time researching private tours of Abu Simbel and was excited to book with Ali. Unfortunately, it turned out he doesn’t actually guide the Abu Simbel tours, and we were passed along to someone else, the messaging/language was not clear when Ali & I were chatting. Our driver picked us up at the airport and then handed us off to a man who introduced himself as the “tour guide assistant.” When we asked where our guide was, he just kept telling us to wait and watch a video. We had no idea what was going on. Only after he brought us inside did we see our guide finishing up a tour with another group. We paid one hundred fifty dollars for this, and we still had to buy our own entry tickets and own water (which was not a big deal but still, it's the principles). The guiding itself added nothing beyond the public information we’d already read about the site; it was almost word for word the same. For the price, we would have been better off hiring a taxi from the airport and exploring on our own.

“Very insightful guide through Karnak temple ”

We enjoyed our trip in the Karnak temple with the help of Ali. He is able to explain everything easy and nice. In.addition he is also taking fotos for us, much appreciated!

“West Bank and Hatshepsut”

Had a wonderful day at the Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut. It was wonderful. The rims were amazing and Ali knew exactly what we wanted to see. We were there first thing in the morning, so smaller lines. I will recommend Ali to anyone wanting to come here. It's a beautiful country.
