After applying, the guide will contact you directly via WhatsApp regarding the meeting point. When I mentioned that I had a hot air balloon tour early in the morning, the guide contacted the hot air balloon tour operator and arranged for them to drop me off at Memnon at 8 AM after the tour, allowing me to meet the guide there. We visited Memnon, the Valley of the Kings, a statue factory?, and the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut in that order. At the Valley of the Kings, the guide pointed out highlights and recommended tombs. They also kindly explained how to buy tickets. When I said I wanted to see Tutankhamun's tomb, I was charged an extra $15 because the driver was waiting in the parking lot (since three of us participated, it was $5 per person x 3). That was disappointing, but I reluctantly paid. However, the guide themselves was good. There was no time limit, so we could take our time. On the way, we were taken to a statue factory, where we were pressured to buy statues and asked for a tip, but we didn't buy anything or pay a tip. We were told the toilet there was free, but we didn't use it. We also had plenty of time to see the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut. On the way back, we were driven to our hotel. Although we were taken to an unscheduled statue factory and charged extra for the driver, it might be unavoidable as most Egyptians tend to ask for tips for various things anyway.
