Excellent private tour with a very knowledgeable , intelligent and tour guide. Ashraf went the extra mile to make sure our two day trip went smoothly and took us to all the best sites in Luxor. He also gave detailed interesting information throughout. He also has a fun character and was fun to talk to outside the tour!
We booked a tour with Palma Tours, Mr Akram was very quick to respond to our questions and checked in with us daily to see how the tour was going.
Waleed, the tour guide, was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The bottles of water to keep us hydrated was also a very nice addition.
The private transport was top class, modern air conditioned vehicles and friendly and helpful drivers.
We booked the Luxor / Aswan 2 day tour with overnight stay.
Accommodation & Lunch provided was of great quality. The itinerary was jam packed with enough rest breaks. (We even managed to squeeze an extra site in ours - Thanks Waleed & Akram)
Although this tour has 100’s miles travel by road & train, we highly recommend Palma Tours and have decided to book a second excursion with them during our holiday.
We arranged the tour a few weeks in advance before arriving in Egypt. Akram presented us with a complete private tour program, starting in Hurghada, visiting Cairo, the Black and White deserts, Alexandria and finally returning to Hurghada.
Everything run smoothly, from the different drivers, who picked us up and dropped us off, always punctual and safe (especially Hamada, 'Medo'!) to the guides, in particular Reeham in Cairo who was just outstanding and Ahmed in the desert tour who welcomed us in his home together with his family before taking us and preparing our dinner in the desert!
The overnight stays were all planned in great detail.
It was definitely an incredible experience during these 4 days!
A huge thank you to Akram!
We went in the Safari and Paradise Island boat trip. Both were very well organised, great activities and the transfer made by driver was on time!
I recommend especially the Paradise Island trip! The views on the island are amazing and the boat trip until there has such grest service on the boat (snorkeling, lunch, drinks).
Where do I start!!! A massive thankyou to Mr Akram and his team for creating amazing excursions giving you memorable experiences.
Right from the beginning, communication with Mr Akram was so professional, he attends to all your needs by listening to what it is you want to get out of your excursions and creates these amazing moments of a life time, all with the great connections he has. Nothing is too much of a hassle for Mr Akram, he answered all my questions thoroughly before I arrived.
Mr Akram showed me and my friend Hurghada City and bought us drinks, which was a lovely gesture for getting to know each other.
We went on two excursions whilst we were in Hurghada, one to Cairo and the other Luxor. Our hired car was very modern, clean and had AC, which gave us a great first impression.
A big shout out to our driver Hamada- what an amazing job he does, not enough credit is given. He drove so professionally and made us feel safe the entire time we were in his company.
A big shout out to Mushy our tour guide, what vast information she holds, absolutely amazing with great historical knowledge. She really gives you detailed information and takes her time explaining the finer details to you.
Overall our whole experience was amazing, many laughs along the way, many memories to treasure. Nothing is too much hassle for these lovely people, Mr Akram always made sure we were ok and enjoyed our experiences by checking in on us.
Drinks were always topped up ensuring we were hydrated all the time whilst on our tours.
If your thinking of booking with Palma tours, don't think just book, you will not regret it, right from the first communication you make with Mr Akram, things run so smoothly that's its literally stress free for when you arrive.
I can't thank Mr Akram, Hamada and Mushy enough, these three deserve well over 5 stars, and I'm already looking at my next trip for next year and I'm 1000% booking with yourselves again and Mushy and Hamada you'll be the people I'll be looking to hire again. Much love from Jill and Sobia (UK)
