Having done 1 trip with kimkim, we felt certain that our time in Egypt would be well organized. Having a representative meet and guide us through airports was a big plus. Our guides were amazingly knowledgeable about each temple and site and tempered the visit to our level of interest and enthusiasm. Having a driver take us to and from all destinations, somewhow being ready to pick us up at the right meeting spot despite the hundreds of cars, scooters and busses...amazed us. A highlight was dinner with a family in Cairo. Besides excellent fresh food, our host turned out to be a seasoned rower and my husband rowed a quad on the Nile. We thank Nader for all the emails and adjustments because we visited one of the most ancient countries in our world. Fantastic experience.

We had a fantastic ten day holiday in Egypt put together by Amr at Egypt Promotion Travel through Kimkim. We were also supported so well when we were there by all the reps, tour guides and drivers who made us feel like we were in safe hands throughout. We started and ended in Cairo and had an overnight stay in the White Desert and a Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan in between. We saw all the top sights we were hoping to see and so much more. Particular highlights were the pyramids, Karnak Temple, the GEM, a hot air balloon ride over Luxor and our day and overnight camping stay in the White Desert. We learnt so much more and had such an enriching experience by having wonderful private tour guides who were clearly very knowledgeable and friendly too. Having only ten days to see so much was only possible due to the clever itinerary put together for us by Amr which was ably supported by the team when we were there. During our stay, when we made a last minute request for the hot air balloon ride, Amr helped sort this out too and effectively reorganised the day's itinerary for us. He was very helpful and responded promptly to messages during the planning process and throughout our holiday too. It was reassuring to know that we were always supported even when we were there.
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Egypt and would highly recommend kimkim as a way to achieve a great holiday there.

The GEM was one of the highlights of our trip to Cairo. We were very ably supported and guided by our private tour guide Yahya throughout the day. His incredible wealth of knowledge and friendly manner added to our enjoyment and learning immensely. We had our friendly driver Abdullah again and he seamlessly transported us from one sight to another. We enjoyed seeing the beautiful Citadel and Old Cairo too including visits to the Jewish synagogue and the Koptic church.

Everything was well organized as planned based upon my specific requirements. My guide Amira was very knowledgeable and made the experience very enjoyable.

I have used Kim kim in the past for trips to Morocco and Jordan. Both those trips worked out really well. I'm not a normal tourist. I've been working in Archaeology for the past 15 years since I retired. I have 12 field seasons and quite a few papers to my credit. I guess I would fall in the category of a high demand customer..

I originally did not choose Kim Kim for the trip that I just finished to Egypt. I chose a different company and that turned out to be a big mistake. I approached KimKim to help me salvage the last week of the trip and they did a spectacular job. In addition to a two day visit to the GEM, which they helped me navigate in view of my specific interests, I did a trip to Tell el-Armana. It's not on the normal tourist trail, and the fact that they were able to put the trip together in such a meaningful way with such short notice really meant a lot to me. They had a lead guide looking after me and specific guides for specific sites. I found all the guides to be very engaging. Nothing that we think we know in Archaeology is an absolute truth and being able to discuss bearing points of view with the guides is to me the hallmark of a world class company.

Khaled Ali handled the logistics in the office and did a superb job organizing all my last-minute requests. They had a primary Guide take care of me.. his name was Samara (Mohammed Monaem). He did a great job getting me from place to place in an in Fischer Manor, but what I enjoyed the most was hard discussions about the interpretation of Egyptian history and historical events. The narratives that are developed about history are never completely black-and-white and to have a guide who could discuss those things just added so much to the trip.. they also provided a local guide in the mania and tell el- Armana areas and his relationship with the local staff helped a lot.

My hero was a guide that they obtained for me to visit GEM, Rania. GEM is overwhelming. I've done a lot of work with museums and I was more than impressed with the way they've organized their material. At the same time I have very specific interest and my guide Rania mapped out a very efficient route through the museum and then helped me find the restoration stela of Tutankhamun. My AI search engine actually had Gavin me five different locations for the stela, two of which were not at GEM. I was panicked, but I shouldn't have worried. I was in good hands..

All in all, it was a very well done trip in some trying circumstances.
