This was our second experience with Halino. Our first one was Jordan and second was Egypt and Mr.Mohamed from Halino made sure he customised our trip to the best of our needs. Our Guide Ms Nancy is truly an asset . She was extremely knowledgeable with a very pleasant demeanor. Her patience was an added virtue and she ensured that our family and especially my young daughters were extremely comfortable. She gave us the opportunity to experience the sites at our own pace. She ensured that our food choices were also met to the best standards. I would also like to applaud our driver Mr Ahmed. He was extremely safe and cordial and a thorough gentleman. I would highly recommend Mr Mohamed from Halino travels ,our guide Ms Nancy and our driver Mr Ahmed. Thank you for a wonderful experience. Looking forward to many more happy holidays with you

The trip was planned well and I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Cairo and Luxor although my personal opinion is that in Luxor more things could have been incorporated which are not very commercial. We had Abanoub as our guide in Cairo and not only did he give insights on Egypt’s history but was very engaging in grabbing one’s attention and telling what to see; plus he is an amazing photographer and took great pictures of me.

Mohammed did a nice job. He is always answering as soon as possible and tried to full fill our wishes. The guide, Nancy and the driver, Ahmed were very nice people. We had a great time with them. Nancy is passionate about her work and suggests also other visits to the tour. Ahmed and Nancy came with the idea to go to a restaurant where we could eat camel meat. That was fantastic!! We found the guide, Mustafa in Luxor, not that good. We got the impression that he doesn't like his job. The guide in Luxor had a good knowledge of the history and tried to do the best to find a local restaurant for our lunch. I recommand to take Nancy and Ahmed as a guide/driver for the trips around Cairo. You won t regret it.

Nancy (our tour guide) and Ahmed (the driver) were amazing at their jobs. We enjoyed their company and attitude. They are one of the most patient people to care for the tourists, who do not know about the Egyptian culture. I should have asked more questions to know about the history of the place. Utilising time while touring around Cairo is the key to experience various places and local culture. I regret not starting early to maximise their company and rich Egyptian culture.
