10 Day Ultimate Egypt Tour & Nile Cruise From Luxor to Aswan & Abu Simbel Inc

Posted By : DayTrip05818893636
We (my spouse and I) got a recommendation to use Look At Egypt Tours, which my friends had used for their trip a few months before. The communications with the company were almost seamless, though I had one email that remained unanswered right before our flights. All our guides, Hannah, Wahid, Mohammed and our driver Abrahim were very reliable and enjoyable. There was one time when a miscommunication between us and one of the guides caused a little tension, but that was easily solved. The Nile cruise was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. What a thrill to be on the river with the lush green of the shore and the desert mountains in the distance. As Americans, we are used to tipping for service, and I would recommend people who haven't been to Egypt get an idea who to tip, when, and how much. The exchange rate is very favorable right now, which is an added plus. Also, driving in Cairo is not for the faint of heart. Don't plan on renting a car there. I am so glad we made the trip. Thank you, Look At Egypt Tours.

Navigating Egypt can sound scary reading reviews of travelers that have gone and not prepared. Mahmoud Hafny, Yasmeen and their team took that stress away and facilitated an experience that we are so glad we did. Egypt with its people and its sights are incredible and should be on any travelers bucket list.

Special shout out to our tour guides Mohamed Shata, Mohamed Farah and our driver Amr. They spent so much time with us and made our experience in Egypt an excellent one. The tour was well organized and our every need taken care of. We had some extra requests like bag storage which their team graciously made easy for us. One of our hotels didn’t book the requested room type for us and despite the hotel being full Mahmoud worked so hard to get us the right rooms and made it happen in the end. There was no magic that they could not make happen for us. We really felt like we could ask them anything and they had a solution for everything. Trying to navigate Egypt without them would have been much more difficult.

We came for the ancient sights which are awe-inspiring and truly one of a kind. But we will leave with memories of so much more than that. The mysteries of a civilization 5000 years old. The incredible flavours of the food. And of course, Egyptian hospitality and the warmth of its people. Highly recommend to anyone considering going!

There were three of us and we had Mohcmoud moody as the lead. Mustapha was our guide at the beginning and at the end. He was our favorite!!! Love him!!

Tips: At the beginning, lunch was not scheduled in a timely manner so that was a hardship for a few of the team. Having snacks in the van would be helpful.

One of the guides during the Nile cruise didn’t tell us about the Aswan market which was very disappointing; especially since I had asked for a market area to visit.

Loved the trip but was quite taken back by all the trash and dead animals in the side canals of the Nile and Cairo.

Would have liked a better heads up on what we should have been tipping the WC. We were paying too much in the beginning. Also, the vendors at the sites are horrific. I would shop if they just left us alone. Hated that.

Sooo much rich history packed in this holy place! Egypt is one of the coolest places in the world to visit & it’s hard to drink in all the information on your own! LOOK AT EGYPT TOURS is an EXCEPTIONAL way to be guided thoroughly in this marvelous land! We had many tour guides BUT one stood out above the rest! MOSTAFAH WAS INCREDIBLE!! Very attentive to our needs, shared his mountain of knowledge with power & grace, explained things in a way that wasn’t overwhelming, and you can tell that he truly has a heart for his Egyptian people, and the beautiful culture that changed history. It was a joy to be guided by him, and you will get more than your money is worth. Most of all, you will gain a true friend! If you’re going to book a guided tour in Egypt, book it through LOOK AT EGYPT TOURS & ask for MUSTAFAH!!!

We are a Japanese couple in our 60s. In our previous trips, we arranged our own tickets and hotels, but as we researched various things, we realized that traveling alone in Egypt is very difficult. There is a lot of solicitation. Even if you want to buy something, the price is not written and you have to negotiate. Rip-offs and scams are rampant, etc. For these reasons, we chose the local Japanese guide tour of LOOK AT EGYPT TOURS via Viator. Since a Japanese guide accompanies you, you can feel safe and highly recommended.

The good points of this tour are as follows.

・The Japanese guide is a certified graduate of the Japanese language department of Cairo University and has a high level of historical knowledge.

・Since it is a private tour just for us, we can listen to the guide's explanations up close and ask questions immediately.

・The entrance tickets are prepared in advance, so you can enter smoothly without having to wait in line to buy tickets.

・A clean minivan is used to move between the sightseeing spots, making it comfortable and efficient.

・The local guide speaks Japanese, so you can feel safe even if you have trouble.

Thanks to LOOK AT EGYPT TOURS' Japanese guides Hani and Reemo, staff member Soby, and driver Ibrahim, I was able to make a lot of great memories. I am very satisfied. Thank you very much.

We've just wrapped up an amazing trip with Look at Egypt Tours. On arrival in Cairo, we were met by representative Mahmoud Hafny, who guided us through the visa checkpoint. I felt immediately at ease with Mahmoud. He brought us to our hotel, went through the check in process for us, got us Sim cards and set up a way to communicate. The entire staff at the Ritz Carlton, Nile were superb!

Our four day tour in Cairo was led by Randa, an excellent representative of her country. Pyramids, camel rides, temples, tombs, restaurants and more were all expertly described by Randa as we visited some truly incredible sites. Randa was warm and friendly and we looked forward to seeing her smiling face each morning. Thank you, Randa.

Once the Cairo portion was over, Mahmoud again took care of getting us back to the airport for our flight to Luxor and again, took care of all our needs when we returned back to Cairo. Thank you, Mahmoudà

At the Luxor airport, we were met by Mohamed Maher El-shaer. Mohamed was our guide for the Nile cruise portion of our trip and was incredibly knowledgeable. He explained, in detail, every temple and tomb we visited as well as ensured we were all safe and well while on board. His communication with us as far as timing and what to expect was excellent. The sites and experiences on this trip were once in a lifetime experience. Thank you Mohamed!

Unfortunately, I don't know the names of the many drivers we had but they eased through the chaotic traffic and always got us to our destinations safely.

Six of us took this tour together and before our departure date, we were all a little unsure about the safety of travelling to Egypt, especially now. We needn't have worried. None of us ever felt unsafe at any time. The Egyptian people are warm and friendly and always smiling. We all felt very welcomed by everyone we met. I highly recommend this tour company and all the amazing people who made our experience that much better. Yalla yalla, Habib! Come visit Egypt!

We had an amazing time on our tour! We were welcomed by Mahmod and our arrival, hotel stay and departure were made seamless. The time in Cairo was spent with our wonderful pleasant guide Randa who was so knowledgeable. She transported us back in history as we saw ancient Egypt come alive. Our drivers were experts at maneuvering safely through the crazy Cario traffic. The Nile cruise was lovely with excellent service, beautiful sunsets and good food. We felt safe at all times. Mohammad, our guide in Luxor was also knowledgeable and friendly. If we needed anything our guides were always ready to help. Thank you for a wonderful experience we won’t forget!

Look At Egypt Tours did a fantastic job throughout the 10 days and many places we visited. Each city had a representative that could not have been more helpful and diligent. Mahmoud Hafny in Cairo was able to meet our many requests for last minute changes when we became ill and had to rearrange the schedules. Mahmoud handled all this with professionalism and grace. Our guide was Ahmed Salah, in Cairo for 3 days and on the Nile cruise for 4 days we had Mahamod. Both were fantastic and Ahmed was instrumental in executing all the changes we needed to make in Cairo. We had many drivers who navigated the complicated roads and traffic patiently and professionally.

The Fairmont Nile Hotel was a lovely hotel and the staff and food were excellent.

Both my wife and I could not have asked for any better service. It was all terrific.
