    A very great experience! We were picked up from the hotel and brought back on time. Our guide was truly amazing! He managed to bring Egyptian history closer in an interesting and funny way. We booked the trip without tickets, but were allowed to pay for them on the bus. It can be paid in any currency, which made life a lot easier for us. There is nothing that can be done better. It was wonderful!

    A truly excellent trip! Our guide was Nana and she really looked after us all day, and everything ran like clockwork. Her knowledge about the sites and the pharaohs and queens from Ancient Egypt was superb and I highly recommend the trip!!! The boat trip down the Nile is really worth doing and provides a nice gentle, cooling breeze at the height of the day.

    The temple was full of reliefs and paintings of the goddess hathor. The temple was in wonderful condition and had many fantastic pillars and reliefs, as well as wonderful ceiling paintings of the goddess mut, and the cycle of the day and zodiac symbols. Thank you to this company to make us enjoy this fantastic day tour.
