My name is Ahmed Goda, 36 years old, I graduated from the Faculty of Tourism and Hotels in 2010, and I am working as a local tour guide in upper Egypt especially covering the archaeological area between Abydos and Abou Simbel, I*First of all. I started toworking in the hospitality industry since August 2012, I am so pleased to work as local tour guide so I can taste my GuruWalk visitors how was Egypt and how it is being now, I am so interested for mountain trips and playing Football also 😊, I feel so pleased to meet people from different countries to make Culture exchange, that is life 💞
Contratamos el free tour para el east bank pero al final decidimos que queriamos conocer el west bank tambien. Ahmed se encargo de organizarnos un recorrido a medida. Nos explico todo con mucha claridad y fue muy atento en todo momento. Gracias Ahmed!
Ahmed super enthousiast and taught us a lot about the sites and history. He was patient and willing to answer all out questions. Thank you for a great day, Ahmed!
I booked with Ahmed two tours (two days) one week in advance, even before arriving to Luxor. I received the confirmation on both. Two days before the start of the first tour I contacted him, he confirmed but he warned of several additional (overpriced) charges not mentioned in the text of the tour description. I checked with local people who informed me some charges were not required and others were at least twice overpriced. When I reached out to Ahmed, he went unresponsive, he did not cancel the tours, so I decided to go and do the first one: East Bank and informed him I would be there. I went but he did not show up. The best part is that I got a top tour guide at Karnak Temple directly (with incredible credentials and Dr. degree) and I did not mind paying him more for the deep knowledge and great experience. After this first tour, I decided to cancel the 2nd day tour (West Bank) since Ahmed was not replying and I realized he was only concerned about charging overpriced extras. And indeed, I did the tour half the price and twice the time I would have done it with Ahmed. It was disappointing not to have a fair handling and be left stranded with uncertainty.
Ahmed is a fantastic guide. We can only give him our best recommendation.
