- 221ariellev0 contributionsBest Nile cruise experience !A big thank you to the agency who organized us this wonderful Nile Cruise. Thank you to Heba who was very reactive and organized the trip of our dreams. A special thanks to Owf the best guide we could ever have. He made our experience unique and unforgettable ❤️ Highly recommended!!Written April 30, 2024
- 509wfz0 contributionsInformative - historical ExperienceWe began our tour from the time of our pickup & both the driver & guide we're on time, sharp! Very cordial, accommodating and pleasant. The journey began at Medina Habu (Ramseus III) and it was just amazing. Mr.Hatem really took the sincere initiative to explain the details of the temple, especially when he understood how important it was to us. Then we to Medina El Deir and again it was an extraordinary experience. Wow - just in awe with the context of history and wonders of the ancient Egyptians!!! We took a break at an Alabaster House of goods - it was also a nice - fun experience because it allowed us to interact with the locals without having to be pressured into buying souvenirs. It was a Terrific 👍 bathroom/drink break. Our trip ended with the Ramseus II Temple and it was again Very historic and instrumental in knowing the facts... very very interesting and valuable for the purpose of our trip. And once again Mr.Hatem took extra care & effort in making sure he guided us with the historical facts. That was it and we also appreciated the smiles and warmth of our driver Mr.Mahmoud - Very gracious and accommodating. If we were able to do it again, we would do so. Furthermore, we appreciated the professional support and follow up from the back office, ensuring that our guide was handled properly. Thanks a whole Bunch. Viva Egypt 🙏Written April 24, 2024
- ecea7090 contributionsGreat tour, great staff!Had a wonderful time in this route Luxor —> Aswan 4N/5D. The program is full but not overwhelming so you get plenty of time to rest and still see everything without having to rush. Mohamed el Khady was an amazing guide, explained everything in a fun engaging way and left us enough time to explore the sites on our own. He has great photography skills too! Heba, who’s handling the whatsapp was absolutely great and one of the main reasons why I picked this tour. She helped me build my itinerary, everything was handled smoothly, she regularly checked up on me and made the trip safe for a solo traveller. 100% recommended.Written April 15, 2024
- Customer_from_Hell0 contributionsAmazing and unforgettable experience with Hatem IbrahimWe spent 2 unforgettable days being guided by Hatem! He was super efficient, knowledgeable, kind, open and extremely attentive and generous with his time. We wholeheartedly recommend Hatem for his professionalism, knowledge and care.Written March 27, 2024
- 44knutl0 contributionsWedding anniversary, old friends tripThank you Hebba and Ofi for making this trip so special to us. We enjoyed the whole experience very much and Ofi was super helpful, charming and great. He took very well care of us all and our new friend Marikko. The communication with Hebba ordering and organizing the trip was smooth and frictionless. The itinerary was well planned with a good balance between time on the boat and sights to visit. The hot air ballon and visit to The Kings Valley were highlights. Only thing that could be communicated better was the fact that the boat charged cash for all purchases the last day, so keep that in mind.Written March 25, 2024
- 648becg0 contributionsFantastic holiday!We've had a great time in Egypt with 'Here Egypt Tours'. Bassant was fantastic as our agent and kept us advised of arrangements every step of the way. Everyone who handled our stay has been great. We had a fabulous guide, Mohamed Shakur for the entirety of the cruise portion of the trip. He was great, really knowledgeable, good humoured and interesting. He put lots of special touches in to our trip as well, like making sure we had breakfast to go on early trips etc. Made sure we knew when meal times were (all the notices were in French) etc. We cannot thank Mohamed enough for looking after us so well 😊 The boat crew on Serenity were also fantastic. Really attentive and hard working. I'm not sure they slept much 😂 I would highly recommend this trip and Mohamed as your guide.Written February 26, 2024
- pql20190 contributionsBrilliant holiday and amazing trip thanks to Mohamed ShakourAn amazing trip made all the more brilliant thanks to our guide Mohamed Shakour! We did this trip as a birthday present for my wife and could not recommend it any higher. The boat was amazing, the food was delicious and the crew couldn’t be more helpful. Best of all was our tour guide Mohamed Shakour! He was brilliant! Knowledgeable, funny, friendly and went above and beyond for us. Every trip he took us to key locations and explained what we would see, showed us around then gave us free time to explore ourselves. He took us to a few places that weren’t included and made each trip so enjoyable. Best of all though, he arranged for the boat crew to surprise my wife with a birthday cake on the ship! I’m not sure if you can ask for a specific guide but if you can, ask for Mohamed. We was fantastic.Written February 25, 2024
- 722shane0 contributionsA Beautiful EveningWords can not express how impressed I was with this experience. Our tour guide, Hatem, and our Captain, made the experience unforgettable. Hatem gave us fun facts about the Nile and was so easy to talk to. Our Captain was so kind and helped me wife and I take pictures while the evening progressed. I would highly recommend this cruise and the crew that made this experience possible!Written February 19, 2024
- DeanHado0 contributionsA tour made special from our guide, HatemThis review consists on our experience of us getting toured by one of the best tour guides i have ever met, Hatem. He was so knowledgeable, very easy going and knew how to involve you into listening to him even if your interest was only to take good photos (not our case). He explained us things other guides wouldnt and even notified us before hand about situations we might have around to be prepared of everything. It was and indemintecable experience than me as an architect enjoyed to the fullest. All that amount if time on this lengthy tour flied by, in a second. Thank you Hatem, i couldnt recommend you enough to anyone that has an interest into getting their knowledge broadened. Give that man a raise !!Written February 16, 2024
- claude_monnier0 contributionsA unforgettable experience, great views of the valley of the queensOur group of 14 did a sunrise balloon ride over the temples of Hatchepsout, Ramses II and the colosses of Memnon. As the sun rose, the fog over the Nile lifted and the views were magnificent. We could even hear workers in sugar cane fields. The service included pick-up at the dock and the drive back. No champagne glass at the end, but the views made the ride the experience of a lifetime.Written January 28, 2024
- 69partha0 contributionsMS Nile Dolphin cruiseThe cruise is very good. Staff is also helpful. We got a free upgrade to suite room. Thanks to Heba. All the tours were punctual and well organised with good guides. Thanks to guides: Ahmed and Mohammed Wafa. But for vegetarians, options are less. Be ready! But overall excellent. Thank you for great nile cruise experience.Written January 7, 2024
- xinkaik0 contributionsWonderful ExperienceIt was a great experience.Heba Haggag has been the contact person who manages the entire journey including the excursions. We talked a lot on details and how the journey and programs can fit us or can be customized. We were promoted to a suite which provided spectacular view of the scenery along Nile River banks even when we stayed in our suite. The foods were good. The excursions are worth the early waking up. From Aswan to Luxor, we visited all most important historical sites. We also enjoyed the excursions in Hurghada under Heba’s arrangement. The Snorkeling tour was so memorable The ATV ride was such a fun. Overall we had great time in Egypt with Egypt Gift Tours and we really appreciate the caring management from Heba, who constantly provided reminders and tips. He is trustworthy and I’d regard him as a friend even though we have not met in person. Best wishes to Heba, his lovely family, and Egypt Gift Tours.Written January 2, 2024

We did a tour of Luxor including attractions like Valley of the Kings, Karnak temple, Luxor temple, Hatshepsut temple and more.
Hatem was our guide on this tour and we were really lucky to have him as he made our trip really enjoyable. We were impressed with the depth of his knowledge and he explained the history of each site beautifully.
We are a little bit of history buffs including our 10 year old, who is fascinated with ancient Egypt and was full of questions. Hatem answered each and every question patiently. What impressed me most was that he didn't just give the run of the mill answers but explained the background and context behind the historical events.
His communication skills were really great as well. We ended up making a friend for life!
Would highly recommend Hatem.

As my first time traveling solo. This experience has been amazing. But Shaimaa Baheeg made it even more special.
Being able to take pictures when traveling solo has been hard. She helped me take beautiful pictures of the temples. She even use her own phone to make even better pictures.
I highly recommend her for any Luxor East & West visits you will do.

I took this tour and I had an amazing time. My train in from Cairo arrived late and made me pressed for time on my tour before I had to catch my boat. My guide Hany and driver Eslam were AMAZING getting me to the places I wanted to see. I was worried I wouldn’t have time to see the sites and they made sure to get me all the places I wanted to go, as well as being great company. I would highly recommend this tour!

My mom, friend, and I were in Egypt for almost a week. Luxor was our last stop and it was the best part of our trip. Luxor was amazing on its own, but our guide Mona was what put this part of our trip over the top. Mona was knowledgeable and fun and full of information about the temples we saw and Egypt itself. She was hands down the best guide we had in our time in Egypt as well as in all of my other travels to other countries as well. This was a great end to our trip and I would highly recommend her.

Islam picked us up at the airport with a sign with my name on it. He waited patiently as our plane was 2 hours late. He drove us on a tour of Luxor to the west and east banks. The car was new and clean. He was polite and kind. He knew his way around without needing GPS.
He gave us water, juice and sugar cane drinks. He picked out a nice restaurant for lunch overlooking the Nile River. He drove safe and cautiously with a nice variety of tunes on the radio.
At each stop he gave us a recommended amount of time that we should spend there. We had his number and could message him on WhatsApp when we were heading out to the car.
Islam always made pleasant conversation and kept checking with us to be sure that we were happy and well taken care of. We were very pleased with Islam as our driver. Please request islam. You’ll be glad you did.
Thanks again for a great experience in Luxor!

Our tour through Luxor and the surrounding area was amazing with Heba. We only spent two days with her, but that experience was unforgettable. We visited Valley of the Kings, Luxor Temple, Colossi of Memnon - just to name a few. Heba did an amazing job at explaining all the stories and history of events that happened at each site. We were so impressed with her services. She was prompt every morning and explained our itinerary very well. I would highly recommend Heba and her husband for any Egypt tours you want to plan. They offer it all!

I do a lot of international travel photography and I'm not the easiest person to guide because I like to go to places very few other people go. But I must say that Heba prepared a very thorough itinerary for me in four cities, and the best guide of all was Mona. I was with her throughout Aswan and Luxor, and she was the perfect person for me. Her English is outstanding, and she has a terrific personality. She's full of enthusiasm and knowledge, and always went out of her way to help me accomplish my goals. Our driver Alaa in Aswan was also very helpful in arranging to ship everything I bought while there, and Islam in Luxor was also great. I highly recommend contacting Heba for any type of trip to Egypt that you want.

On this tour we had Mona. We couldn't have asked for a better tour guide. She was so friendly, personable, funny and knowledgable. We literally felt like we were visiting a friend abroad and not assigned a guide. Mona was able to teach us about the history about the Temples, as well as the culture of Luxor.
The trip was so well organized so we never had to worry about what to expect or if we had to rush to make anything. Generally, everything was scheduled so that you were able to visit most of the sites when it wasn't too crowded, which was great for pictures. We felt like we had enough time to explore the sites on our own and shop if we chose to after Mona talked about them and explained their history.
It was honestly so unbelievable to be able to learn so much about the sites we only read about in textbooks. Thank you Egypt Gift Tours & Mona!
