Luxor Private Tour

I arranged a full-day private tour of Islamic Cairo through Luxor Private Tour, and was very pleased with the result.  The guide, Omar, met me at our hotel punctually.  I had asked for a guide who was very knowledgeable about Eyptian history and culture , since I happen to know a lot about that already.  Omar turned out to be exactly what I had hoped for.  I had provided an intinerary of what I wanted to see, and Omar was resourceful in adapting my itinerary to what was available when during Ramadan.  For example, although it had not been on my planned itinerary, we ended up  going to the Egyptian Museum to kill time until other attractions opened up (due to restricted hours during Ramadan).  I had previously toured the Egyptian Museum with a guided tour from another company, so was surprised at how much more insight Omar was able to provide about the items in the museum. Besides the Museum, we visited several historic churchs and mosques, and toured the sights in the Islamic Cairo. I asked a lot of questions about what I saw around me during the tour, and appreciated the frank conversations which resulted.   We had a driver who did not speak English but was friendly and professional, and got us to our destinations efficiently.  The entire experience from booking through touring to final payment went smoothly and in my opinion Luxor's professionalism matched or exceeded the level of professionalism I would expect from a reputable tour company  here in the U.S..  I'm really glad I took what was for me a gamble and booked this tour though Luxor.  In case Omar reads this, I want to ad that I really appreciated his good nature and natural sincerity.
