“Great communication, knowledgeable guide, poor value”

My wife and I arranged a guide for our visit to Abu Simbel through Ayman on Go with Guide which was pretty straightforward. We appreciated how easy it was to communicate leading up to our tour but we couldn't help but feel the guide wasn't worth the money we paid. For context, we paid $65 for about an hour of guide services for a visit to Abu Simbel which is pretty expensive for Egypt. We agreed on the price and paid ahead of time, but after accounting for the tickets which were not included and the amount of time we actually spent with the guide, we don't feel it was worth it. The guides are not allowed to visit inside of the temples. As a result, we had a quick 10 minute explanation on our walk down to the pyramids before exploring the main temple on our own time and then a quick 5 minute briefing on the smaller temple before tipping our guide and saying goodbye. The guide was very informative during the time we spent with him, but we can't help feeling like we got ripped off for what we paid for versus the service that was provided.

Thank you Tyler for your honest and ckear review ,but i was very honest with you from the begining that i will not be your guide in Abu simple and will hire a lical guide there , All tourguides are NOT allowed to explain inside Abu simple temple so that happens with all tourists ,the price you have paid is logical price for season time in Egypt . Thank you Ayman

“Fantastic guide - fantastic trip. ”

From the moment we engaged with Ayman online some 2 months before our trip, it was clear he was extremely knowledgeable and professional. Based in central Luxor, we let him tailor our trip over 3 days to get the maximum value out of our time - & he delivered brilliantly. A long day south to the incredible temples at Esna, Edfa & Kom Ombo, then next day to Valley of Kings (good advice - get there early to avoid the crowds) & Hatshepsut temple - & finally out to Dendara & Karnak temples. We never queued for more than 5 minutes, with three perfect days, observing things that we would have surely missed without his super polite guiding hand. No hesitation in recommending this delightful guide to create your perfect stay. Thank you Ayman - you made this the trip of a lifetime for my wife and I!

“Fantastic insight into the real Luxor”

Ayman is a very special person , my wife and I felt privileged to be on his tour of Luxor and it's people from a locals pont of view. We were shown places that normal tourist do not see , we felt the vibe , interacted with locals and came away feeling really positive about the city and it's lovely people. We liked Ayman from the minute we met him, he was professional, caring and above all very proud of his city and his people. If you want to really feel Luxor ,,we fully recommend Ayman and his unique tour, thank you very much.

​"Dear Steve, thank you so much for your kind words! It was truly my privilege to host you and your wife. I believe the heart of Luxor isn't just in its ancient monuments, but in the spirit of its people, and I’m so glad you were able to feel that 'vibe' for yourselves. Knowing that you left with a positive connection to my home city means the world to me. You are welcome back anytime!"
