Perfect! Highly recommend it. - We had a private tour and everything was simply perfect! Yayah was the best guide we could have asked for, the driver Ahmed was impeccable, and we could not be happier with the entire experience. The communication with Marwan was perfect from top to finish and highly recommend this tour.

Detailed, Clean, but crowded - Overall, this tour was very organized from traveling, the guide, and the tour itself. We were taken care of and given much history into the ancient temple. My only complaint is that there was a lot of people on the day we came due to school trips.
