OK so I want to start by saying that I am very thankful to the person who helped me book my trip. I reserve a 30 minute before the pick up time at 3:30 in the morning. Mera I believe is the name of the person made sure to find me a space in one of the transportation and I was picked up 15 minutes after in my hotel at four in the morning if it was not for this person I would have missed my chance to go to the temple on this specific date. Now going to the temple, it was a long drive. We were picked up by two nice gentlemen that spoke English, which was very good and then two other people were in the band that was going to take us to our destination. They did not speak much, English However, they tried very hard to communicate with the clients. The activity was pretty simple, but the down side of things was that Tour Guide that was assigned to us. This person did the explanation in under four minutes, and was very fast talking so we did not have a moment to understand anything of what he was saying I need to try to offer to sell a book so that we could understand better. This is not what I told you you supposed to do I work in the tourism industry in the country of my origin, and I was very disappointed by that Cheap and poor explanation of the tour guy. I believe this is a private tour guide person and does not work directly with the company so I would suggest that the company hires their private tour guides to make sure that they give their clients a very good quality explanation of the temples that is worth, every dollar that they are paying we were left on our own after four minutes of a very very fast ducking explanation and we were told to have free time to take pictures and wonder around the temple which everybody does of cost but a lot of people like myself, like to know more about the ancient history of things and with this, I was not very happy. The drive back to the hotel was good and cozy the driver ankle pilot I believe their name is Mohamed and Mostafa were very kind also to recall their names and this was the end of our trip.Haya_A

Absolutely an amazing experience. Cannot even believe it how smooth whole process went. Not to mention i have booked them only 4 hours prior and they picked me up on time. Very prifessional, made sure we were all happy on board. The driver even has made several stops on a way to make sure we all get our snacks. When have arrived at the destination everyone has been allocated to their private guid. I was in the group of 3 which have felt very pricate. The guide was very knowledgable and considering tour was at 4am, we were one of those who have arrived first and managed to get a lot of pictures in the empty temple's areas I have forgotten a name of the organiser. But remember it started with M. So thank you very much M, for this lovely experience.gabrielvinicioc

It's a scame, they said I will pickup you and few hours before the trip the tell you that they have to cancel your trip because they are full booked, even when you already paid. If you want to save your money never contact with this terrible company. It's a SCAME.
