“Wish we had time to do more tours with Ali”
Ali is a tour guide who goes above and beyond for his guests! We had a great time on this tour with Ali, although we were sad that it was our final day of touring with him. He was proactive in suggesting that we do the Valley of the Nobles instead of the Valley of the Queens because it showed more of daily life and given the main tomb in Valley of the Queens is closed. Ali is patient, waiting for the whole group before continuing. He answers questions clearly. Also, when dropping us off to our hotel Ali was very kind to help us find a place to wait for our flight when our plans changed. He also took us to the airport as a last minute request. Thanks Ali, we loved it!
