We had an amazing tour! I highly recommend this trip, especially as a private tour, especially for families. We were a family of five, and when we requested a private tour, there were no additional fees, which was fantastic and made it very affordable. The communication with the team was smooth and flexible. The guides throughout the tour were organized, knowledgeable, and great company for the entire trip. We enjoyed fantastic views and excellent details from Pharaohn Tours at all destinations. My kids even said it was their most memorable and best cultural experience.
Overall, it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
