Fun and educational - Omar Haridi took care of us very well and explained everything in depth. Omar made sure we had all the food and water ahead of time. When he explained the history of each site, you can really tell he has a big passion for Egyptian history.

Five stars hands down - Omar was so knowledgeable which is what we were needing. His stories connected to what we were looking at in the temples which cemented it all for me. He would be a great teacher in the school of Egyptology anywhere! Five stars to you Mr Omar!

First time in Egypt. AMAZING experience with Ghada Kamel in Luxor. - I wish I could give more stars! My wife and I booked our tour thru Egypt Tour Portal, and could not be happier. We met our guide Ghada Kamel in Luxor for the first two days of our stay and she took great care of us, showed us all the sights and answered all of our questions. At the end of the first day, she recommended us a hot air balloon ride and boy was she right! The sights from the Ballon, and the experience are something we will never forget. We highly recommend both Egypt Tours Portal and Ghada Kamel for your next trip to Egypt.

Texas Gal could not be happier with arrangements! - Went to Luxor and found a guide on Tripadvisor named Ghada, shes the best. She met us outside of the airport and safely showed us around. The explanation of all the sites was spot on we had to much fun learning about the different eras and culture. I could not be happier or more satified!

No other way to see Egypt! Simply the best tour guide ever! - This is our very first international trip and we chose Egypt as this is the number one thing on my bucket list. Our tour guide, Mahmoud Gamal was not only extremely knowledgeable, he was patient, kind, and simply amazing! He thoroughly explained to us the places we were going to visit, giving the back drop of the extensive history and made us part of the family.
He made us feel at home and safe at all times, giving us continued clear and concise information of pick up times and arrivals as well.
He always explained the history first to us at every location. This gave us the knowledge to experience all of the wonderful things Egypt had to offer. We had the free time after the presentation to go and experience this and freely feel the history. This no doubt truly touched our hearts. His love for his country and the passion he exude transcended to us. We felt the same passion and love of the rich history and this will be the trip we will remember for the rest of our lives, thanks to Mahmoud. He is truly the very best and we hope to return one day and have him be our guide once again. Thank you again Mahmoud, you are truly a great ambassador for your country. You will forever be part of our family!

Great experience under extreme summer heat in Luxor. - The tour was very informative. Our guide Omar is very knowledgeable and has a way to explain things well. He is also not pushy when it comes to selling extra tours and things which I love ❤️. I wish all Egyptians are like Omar. He made us feel at ease under the hot sun.
