Essence of Egypt Luxury Tour

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. ...more ...less

Thank you Look at Egypt tours, our Egypt vacation was an incredible experience. My wife and I enjoyed every minute. Our guide Muhammed has exceptional knowledge in Egyptology.

On our last day we visited the souk's and at no time did we feel unsafe. Thank you Egypt your people are wonderful. ...more ...less

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 !! ...more ...less

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 ...more ...less

Mustafa was a great tour guide that is very friendly and knowledgable. He made the trip more enjoyable.

Overall, we had a good time in Egypt. And our experience with Look at Egypt Tours was mostly good as well. The good: 1. Prompt responses before the deposit was made: responses usually received within a day or two 2. Airport and hotel pickups were always prompt 3. All the drivers and guides were friendly 4. The tours were mostly private, except during the Nile cruise portion 5. We used our own hotels and the final tour cost was adjusted accordingly 6. All the vans that were provided by the company were clean and comfortable. The not-so-good: 1. Two weeks before our departure, I sent off a list of questions and did not receive a response until 8 days later. During the wait, I had to wonder if the company was still in business. 2. The tour manager applied high pressure to sell optional tours. We did the hot balloon ride in Luxor. And that's the only one we'd do again. The night Nile cruise with dinner and belly dance was the worst. We did this tour after flying back with Aswan after 7 pm. We boarded the boat at 8:15 pm. The dances started soon. The volume of the music was torturous. The main dancer was middle-aged and unattractive. And she was not even an Arab per our driver. The dinner was served around 9:30. I was starving by then. The sound and light shows of the Giza pyramids were just ok. The pyramids were dimly lit. 3. On the last day, we purchased another optional tour for Grand Egyptian Museum. It was advertised as a half day tour . But the company did not add a half-day time to our original tour schedule. We got about 90 minutes extra time at best. ...more ...less
