Great Value and Very trusted Company

22-Feb-2020

We traveled to Egypt with Look at Egypt tours, Our visit included Cairo then a 5- day cruise down the Nile. It was amazing to see those sights you read about for years. Our staff (particularly mustafa and Ahmed) were delightful and Look at Egypt got us safely from place to place. My advice would be to schedule that trip to Egypt you have always dreamed about. There is more to see than you imagined and the people are most hospitable.

Unforgettable Trip!

14-Jan-2020

Last February, when we decided to set off for Egypt, we booked an 8-day tour on Look at Egypt Tours website, encouraged by their favorable reviews. We got in contact with one of their representatives, who made all the arrangements for us on the dates we had set ourselves. On our arrival at Cairo airport, another representative was waiting for us to help us to obtain our entry visa for Egypt. The following day, we flew to Aswan and boarded our cruise Minerva which would take us to Luxor. We spent 3-nights on this cruise. But before weighing anchor, we visited the absolutely impressive temple of Abu Simbel. In Luxor, where we disembarked, we entered four tombs in the Valley of the Kings and saw the temples of Karnak, Hatshepsut and Luxor. Terribly exciting! Back in Cairo, we visited Giza pyramids and got inside. Simply stunning! Accommodation was suitable and comfortable. We stayed for four nights at Ramses Hilton which is a very large and rather crowded 5-star hotel. However, rooms were spacious, and facilities were nice. In Egypt, nothing runs smoothly. But in this company, people do put in a great deal of effort to make things work. All our tour leaders, guides and car drivers were excellent in every sense of the word. They were absolutely fluent in English and very knowledgeable about all the history and sights we visited, but above all else they were highly responsible and enormously helpful! We learnt so much about Egyptian history and beyond and we are super thankful to Fayrouz and Mustafa for arranging such a lovely trip for us!

Great job by Fayed, our Tour guide. He really knows his history and is very passionate in sharing it with us. Great job by look at Egypt tours in setting up this tour. From the very first day of arrival in Cairo up to the last day; someone is always there to assist us to make sure that everything go smoothly for us. Outstanding itinerary and tour guide. Keep the good work thank you

A wonderful experience!

10-Feb-2020

I had the pleasure to venture into Egypt this year. I had the opportunity to see all the beauties of the country from the pyramids, museums, temples, cruises on the Nile, etc. The country was extremely safe and very tourist friendly. The guides did their best to provide us with the most memorable visit ever. I’m very thankful to have seen Egypt but also have the pleasure of meeting so many positive people. I will definitely visit Egypt again!

Great Team and guides

01-Jun-2020

A bucket list experience with the most amazing team ,My husband and I booked the treasures of Egypt tour, through Look at Egypt tours. Our travel expert Fayrouz , was very quick to respond and informative regarding the whole booking process. Our tour in Cairo was very quick and I wish we had more time as my husband, and I felt very jet lagged. However, our Cairo guide, Randa, made our journey unforgettable. Randa is so kind and pleasant, she really made us feel like family in the short time we spent with her. She is so knowledgeable regarding the history and very thorough with her explanations. She really went above and beyond for us and we are so grateful for her. in Aswan, we started our cruise on the MS crown jewel . Our guide, Remon, was also full of knowledge with all the monuments. I wish we were able to spend a bit more time at the monuments as I’d rather not be cooped up, but it was still a great way to see the temples. Remon is all business with his explanations but then will give you some time to get lost in the monuments. Remon thankfully convinced us to try to do the hot air balloon a day early in case of bad weather, which I definitely recommend. Like this whole trip, it’s a very early wake up, but we’re only here once. The accommodations set up by Look at Egypt tours were adequate and transfers were seamless. Everyone associated with Look at Egypt tours was very hospitable and I would recommend Look at Egypt Tours.

Obrist Nicolas  

Impressed with Look at Egypt Tours

21-Jan-2020

I can’t say enough good about our trip to Egypt, arranged through Look at Egypt Tours. We felt 100% taken care of through our entire trip. Tarek was our tour leader, Ahmed was our guide in Cairo and Muhammed was our guide through most of Egypt, with the Nile cruise. Given the state of the world right now, I’m so glad that we were able to take this trip of a lifetime several Months before quarantine shut the world down. I look forward to the world getting healthier that we may travel again like this. Loved every minute, we highly recommend Look at Egypt tours!

An Amazing Adventure With Very Professional Team

22-Jan-2020

My husband and I went on 9-day tour in Egypt. It was so amazing we always like to travel by our own but Look at Egypt tours blew me away. Every single person who works for or with them was so professional and friendly and helpful in every way possible. All the accommodations were fantastic. Fayed was the most perfect tour guide we could have. He's so passionate and excited about ancient and current Egypt, which made learning being with him even more fun. He taught us so much about everything Egypt culture, and more. I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to go to Egypt and we'll definitely use Look at Egypt tours for future trips.
