We had 1/2 day to see all the Luxor sites and the team made it happen! We had a great attentive guide Nermeen who guided us perfectly with enough details without wasting our time! She was great! Highly recommend

My friend and I had our tickets already so just needed a driver. We lucked out with Amr Samer. On time, nice clean car, polite, good English, friendly and treated us like Queens. Amr kept in contact with good communication and went above and beyond to make sure we were looked after. Best driver of our whole trip!
