We had Aladdin as our guide the entire tour. Genuinely speaking he was incredibly, first of all he was able to prevent the Egyptian belly that we got so he gave us a pill . Secondly he was very friendly, informative patient, and very knowledgeable with temple and the culture. We got a chance to stay with him at the boat and he and the cruise team made us Egyptian food was so good . He followed up on the issues we had and made sure was solved . Book with him and make sure you tip him . Such a lovely I definitely recommend

It was such an experience to have these nice tour guides. We tried to study before coming here but nothing compares with the experience and information. Such a nice people as well. 100% recomendable!!
We enjoyed our cruise immensely . This is because of our tour guide Aladdin . Aladdin has a great understanding Of English and as a qualified Egyptologist - Aladdin gave us so much historical information . Most importantly my 15 year old daughter and I were travelling alone and Aladdin was always helping us and organising any other activities we wanted to do. Aladdin also gave us many tips for shopping for quality souvenirs and had many contacts of business people who made our holiday one of the best. I would recommend Aladdin to anyone travelling To Egypt !
Aladdin was an amazing guide, he knew a lot about the places we visited and was extremely helpful with travel information and organisation. He was incredibly friendly and professional, I would absolutely recommend this to anyone.
