"Our guides were beyond amazing"

Our guides were beyond amazing! They truly made our experience in Egypt magical! We started our trip in Cairo with Emy she took amazing photos of us and gave us the best tips on how to climb into the Giza pyramid. The next day we headed to Luxor where our guide was Dr. Mahmoud he took us to the Valley of the Kings he had a lot of knowledge about the sight. The remainder of our time in Luxor our guide was Ghada Kamel she suggested that we do the Light and Sound show at the Karnak Temple which was a unique experience, and I must do! Ghada was a great guide in Luxor and couldn’t ask for more. Then we headed back to Cairo and we were able to have Emy the rest of our time in Egypt. Emy made our trip unforgettable! Honestly the whole trip was a dream come true we are grateful for Egypt Portal Tours and their amazing guides Emy, Dr. Mahmoud, & Ghada without them I don’t think it would have been the same.

"Best choice in private tour, incredibly lucky to have such an amazing guide."

This has been one of the best choices I made on my trip to Egypt: a fantastically curated private tour of Luxor's cultural treasures. I am not good with crowds of tourists, and despite being one myself, I consider the world's cultural treasures the responsibility of everyone who visits them. So, in general, my relationship with other tourists is not that good because of the lightness with which they behave and the irresponsibility and rudeness that they express in other nations and places. So, a private tour was just perfect.
Luxor archeological treasures are a crown of Egyptian art and culture that must be seen at least once in your lifetime. My tour started by being picked up from my hotel in Cairo, brought to the airport and flying to Luxor, where I was expected by my tour guide, Marian Azer. I spent two days in Luxor and stayed overnight in the Luxurious Hilton Luxor. Those were two days full of learning and exchange of ideas and knowledge with my fantastic guide.
The experience included the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, the Colossus of Memnon, Karnak Temple Complex, and Luxor Temple Complex. Each one of those places would not have been as half as amazing without the expert guide of Marian Azer.
Marian is an incredible professional Egyptologist. She is not only an encyclopedia of facts but also an amazing storyteller who is able to connect history with the monuments without making you feel like this is a school lesson.
She was always attentive and extremely kind, always making sure the information was in the right amount to not overwhelm you. In my case, I am really an avid learner; I am a university scholar at Concordia and Ottawa Universities in Canada (neuroscientist, artist, educator), and questions are always being formulated in my mind. I have studied many of the places I visited on this trip, corroborated facts and get additional, a lot of amazing additional information, sometimes can be challenging, but Marien was always ready to answer and always prepared to walk the extra mile to provide quality content.
We had such fantastic conversations. I discussed points that are usually hard to discuss in tours because the guides are scripted, but Marian really knows her subject.
Additionally, she always allowed me time to explore by myself, which I also really appreciate since I can meditate on the place, its importance, its contributions, and how these monuments keep teaching us about ourselves and how to face modern-day challenges. Again, I appreciate that flexibility, something that you do not find in crowded tours with strict, tight schedules and people roaming around you.
At the end of the second day, it was hard not to feel like I was talking to an old, very respected scholar friend. An extremely intelligent and knowledgeable person with vast knowledge and appreciation of Egyptian culture and its value. I would recommend this tour to anyone for the marvellous things you will see, but I would especially recommend this tour WITH Marian, to anyone who really wants the flexibility, knowledge, attention to detail, kindness, and professionalism that she brings to the table. You guys have a fantastic jewel in your guide arsenal. Congratulations, and thanks for it.

"Alexandria tour"

The tours put together by ETP are very good. The sights are well curated and the Alexandria tour is good. Our guide Mohamed communicated very well with us in advance and on the day, and he had excellent knowledge, Driver Hamdy was also very good; knows how to drive with passengers safely.

"Egypt experience with Egypt Tours Portal"

Booked everything with Egypt Tours Portal and it was a great experience all around. From pick ups, tours, transfers, everything was well coordinated and on time. Shot out to Ahmed Elgohary, who was our tour guide for 3 days in Cairo. Ahmed was very professional and knowledgeable and he went out of his way so we could try traditional Egyptian dishes. Would definitely recommend.

"A wraith of knowledge on Egyptian…"

A wraith of knowledge on Egyptian history. Ahmed has a real passion for what he does and shows professionalism in his work. More importantly he will be a friend for life. If you are lucky enough to have him as a guide you are blessed

"Egypt Tours Portal with Ismail "

Touring with Egypt Tours Portal was an unforgettable experience. We had Ismail as a guide and he accommodated us with whatever we wanted to see or experience. He was always available to communicate or answer our questions, and was really informative and knowledgeable about everywhere we went. I highly recommend both Egypt Tours and Ismail for anyone who is hoping to get the most out of their trip to Egypt.

"Aditya's review"

My name is Aditya. We had booked our tour through Egypt Tours Portal and had travelled from UK. Throughout our tour for 8 days we were accompanied by wonderful guides.

Cairo - Abanoub
Aswan- Amr Mekky
Luxor - Mahmoud Noor

The guides were really knowledgeable about thr local places and historic importance of the attractions. They were also quite helpful for taking family photos on the mobile. I would definitely recommend this tour company if looking to travel to Egypt.

Good luck

"AMR MEKKY was amazing!!!"

AMR MEKKY was our guide for Aswan and he was amazing!!!! He provided so much knowledge when we were in Abu Simbal that I learned so much!

In our group, we had a total of 4 families and we have gotten close as we were together in Aswan and Luxor, but it was due to the hospitality of Mekky that we all had gotten close!

Thank you!!!!

"Our tour with Mohammed Hasan on 3 night cruise from Aswan to Luxor"

Our tour with Mohammed Hasan as our guide was fantastic! We took the 4 day Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor and paid extra for a private guide because we didn’t want to be stuck on buses in large tour groups, best decision ever! Mohammed was very knowledgeable and accomodating, he had a nice balance between sharing info and important sites at each attraction, as well as giving us some free time to explore on our own. He was always prompt and catered to our every request, he really made the whole experience seamless and relaxing, which was great given that we had limited time in Egypt. Even my husband expressed how relaxed everything felt compared to the stories we heard from other cruisers in larger groups. We saw and did a lot, but also had time to unwind- perfect balance!

"Best Experience ever!"

Not only was our guide Mahmoud Nour in Luxor very informative but he captivated our attention in role playing people from Ancient Egypt to make it so understandable. Hotel was 5 Star and Mahmoud Nour made sure we ate the most tasty Egyptian food in Luxor ! Amazing adventure, i will be highly recommending family and freinds to travel with Egypt Portal Tours
