A very beautiful experience which made our stay in Egypt unforgettable; Luxor with a caring guide and Cairo with Ismaël; a very cultured guide who listens to the happiness of customers.
I would recommend this agency without hesitation
Ashraf was our Egyptian professional guide for a Czech small group planned "Sacred journey to the chacra temples of Egypt".
As the title already says, not only were we using his incredible life experience of an egyptolog, tourist guide and organiser. We were also using his experience with the places themselves, which of the extra tickets are worth the money to visit the extra places, which of the villages and shops are fair and having good things.
And of course all the historical stories linked to the places we visited with open mind to some new more alternative explanations of happenings too.
The organisation of our trip from Hurghada, through Asuan, Luxor, Ghiza and back Hurghada is fully his expertise. Minivans, boat, train... He was always with us handling all to our happiness ❤️
Buying extra water, bananas or ordering better for stomach digestion food.
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).
Very kind and profesional people.
In every trip that I went with them, all details were taking care of.
Ashraf is the most knowledgeable tour guide that I ever met in my life.
You will go on a trip and come back as friends.
I highly recommend golavita Tours!
We had booked airport transfers from Hurgada airport to our resort in May 2022 and our experience was excellent. What sets this company apart was the responsive service we got through WhatsApp messaging. You may not be aware of this but meeting a taxi driver at airport is not so easy or obvious as the security personnel does not allow drivers in or even standing by the entrance. It all was resolved easily by WhatsApp communication. I cannot overstate how important is having a rapid response when something does not go as you would expect. Thank you Ashraf.
I am aware this company does much more than airport transfers: while I did not use any during my stay, I wouldnot hesitate to recommend this organisation to plan for your excursion needsin Hurghada.
Update April 2023: Used them again for this trip booking through Hoppa, same excellent service.
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!
