“An Unforgettable Experience with Essam!”
Our tour with Essam was absolutely fantastic and truly unforgettable! From the very beginning, he was incredibly kind, friendly, and welcoming—immediately putting us at ease. His warm smile, genuine kindness, and clear passion for what he does made the entire experience both enjoyable and enriching. Essam is not only highly knowledgeable, but he also has a remarkable talent for sharing information in a way that keeps everyone engaged—including children. He brought history and culture to life with fascinating stories and thoughtful insights, making every stop along the way meaningful and memorable. His patience, professionalism, and enthusiasm never wavered, and he made sure everyone in the group felt included and comfortable throughout. We couldn't have asked for a better guide. If you're looking for a tour that's both educational and fun, Essam is the one—highly, highly recommended!

“Review – Our Luxor Guide Mr. Khalaf.”
Review – Our Luxor Guide Mr. Khalaf. On the GoWithGuide website we sorted through various guides, reading profiles & reviews. We chose Mr. Essam & sent him a message. However, turns out Essam is a guide Team Leader & delegated our 1-day guide trip in Luxor to Mr. Khalaf. Mr. Khalaf was FANTASTIC. On this trip we had 3 guides in total. One guide on the 4-dayt cruise ship & another private GoWithGuide for 2=days in Giza. Of the 3 guides Mr. Khalaf was by far the best. His passionate, almost theatrical enthusiastic presentation brought each visit to life. And he was full of detail, which we liked. Often comparing situations to the Western history for comparison to help us with a greater understanding. We had done some prior homework, reading & watching Youtube about Egypt, but being there in person & having a local enthusiastic guide bring it all to life – was Fantastic. Mr. Khalaf even recommended a tomb of the Nobles, which we found interesting, as we had some extra time, as sadly the tomb of Nefertari in the Valley of the Queens was closed. I would recommend Mr. Khalaf 150%. Always on time, listened to our interests & read our level of comprehension VERY well as he adjusted the daily schedule. A really NICE GUY. Regards Bruce Australia – January 2025 trip

“A day around Luxor”
TLDR; A fantastic organization that delivered everything they promised. Mohammed our guide, and our driver were very professional. They met us at the airport and the tour started from our first meeting with Mohammed. A great day seeing everything we wanted to see and then being dropped off at our hotel at the end of the day. Thanks so much Mohammed. I would also like to thank the people behind the scenes who helped organize our Luxor trip. Everyone's communication was a credit to gowithguide
