LIFETIME EXPERIENCE with Look at Egypt Tours

18-Mar-2020

I was very impressed with this company and Ahmed the owner. I, like you had some reservations when it came to booking and researched as well as contacted many companies before Choosing look at Egypt. We visited Cairo, Alexandria, Luxor and Aswan for our honeymoon in December and I was extremely satisfied and happy with the company. From the moment we landed we were greeted at the terminal to pass immigration and until our departure we were well taken care of, the staff even going above and beyond to accommodate any requests we had. The transportations are all brand new vehicles, air conditioned and clean. The tour guides are very knowledgeable and kind. I felt very safe as well in Egypt and look at Egypt tours took care of everything for us so we never had to do anything for ourselves besides enjoy our vacation and feel like kings and queens. My honeymoon will definitely be engraved in my Heart and mind forever and Ahmed and his company made this dream of ours come true. I will not hesitate at all to use this company again for any other trips I might be taking to Egypt or any other destinations they offer.

Very well organized Egypt tour...

26-Sep-2023

Very well organized Egypt tour with Look at Egypt tours based in Cairo. We chose them because of great review onTripadvisor and very competitive good price. This is mainly a semi-private tour ( small group of 3-4 couples ) according to our date and what we want to see. Every communication was easily done by email and later via whatsapp. They answer fast to all your inquiry and questions. After we give them what we wish to see and do , Ahmed, the CEO of the company proposes a plan . They organize everything from A to Z with great 5 stars hotel , 5 stars 3 night cruise and all the local flights the entry tickets for every sites and museum. All the local flights We always have a guide and a driver to every historic sites and transfer. The guides are very good and helpful. From the 1st day at Cairo Airport, where Mahmoud greets you inside the airport BEFORE the customs exit. And miraculously, while there were very long waiting lines to pass through the custom agents, Mahmoud makes us pass the customs without any waiting !! And he charges our phone with egyptian SIM card himself. It was a very good thing to have a master guide such as Walid who was the coordonator of all trip . He takes care of you from the first to the last day. After, everything went on smoothly exactly as planned. We had great guides such as Dahlia for the Cairo and pyramids portion, Mu for AbuSimbel and Nile Cruise . They are with you for every transfer by minivan, to airport and to hotels and cruise. The last segment of 4 night in All inclusive Hilton at Hurghada beach in the Red Sea was pure relaxation without any sightseeing ( as we requested) . We truly enjoy our trip with this Company !!

Wonderful and Dedicated Staff and Guides!!

22-Jan-2020

The guide was well informed and was able to share his knowledge an interesting way helping to understand and enjoy life and customs of ancient Egypt. Both guides Muhammed and Remon we had were patient and thoughtful towards us. also the itinerary was a great which enabled us to see the wonders of the ancient world, the hustle and bustle of Cairo as well as visits to the countryside visiting a farmer's home and a Nubian village. The cruise was great, slow paced and able to soak up the Egyptian experience. we highly recommend this tour and Look at Egypt tours

This was an amazing trip full of fun and excitement.

23-Jan-2020

This was an outstanding experience as promised and more, Look at Egypt Tours set the bar for full-service guided travel for my family and friends we were a group of 9 people, We are Candians, who currently live abroad and have previously lived abroad – we had an AMAZING 9-days with Look at Egypt Tours. It started with getting whisked through the Cairo arrival terminal procedures by Tarek the airport staff. We then flew south to Luxor where we met Ramon our guide for the Southern Egypt portion of the trip. We embarked aboard MS/ MINERVA for a 4-night River Cruise. The ship was immaculate, with very friendly crew and comfortable accommodations. Remon was a fantastic and knowledgeable guide for the river cruise and key sights from Luxor to Aswan. We then transferred back to Cairo where we checked into Le Meriden Pyramid another perfect choice by our trip planner Fayrouz, The hotel was clean and the staff was very attentive. During the days of Cairo we had Fayed as our guide for the Giza Pyramids and Sakkara and the Egyptian Museum. Fayed managed to keep us all informed, entertained and well fed. The entire family had an incredible first visit to Egypt all thanks to all the team. I wholeheartedly recommend Look at Egypt Tours to any families, groups or individuals who want to visit Egypt.
