Such an incredible Egyptian Tour! - My friend and I had an incredible time on this trip! The service was wonderful! We were greeted by Mahmoud on arrival and he kept in touch with us the whole trip making sure everything went smoothly.
We started off at the pyramids with Ahmed Salah, who was extremely knowledgeable about Egypts rich history. He also accompanied us to the museums in Cairo and the bazaar where he helped us with our souvenir shopping. He was very kind and helpful.
We met up with Mohammed (Mo) for the Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan and Abu Simbel. The temples and tombs were beautiful! Mo was also very knowledgeable and very funny. He was so patient to put up with all of our random questions! We would highly recommend the hot air balloon ride for sunrise in Luxor. This was an incredible way to view the Nile and the local Temples.
We then met up with Tim in Sharm El Sheikh, who took us snorkeling and around the town to SOHO and Farsha. Snorkeling around the reefs if the Red Sea was amazing!!
We ended our trip in Cairo with Mahmoud where he took us around to try Egyptian Pizza and ice cream (both were delicious)! He really went out of his way to make us feel welcomed and supported the entire time.
This was a fantastic trip. The guides and drivers (especially Amr) were so helpful and flexible. They made sure each transition went as smoothly as possible. The hotels included were beautiful and the service was amazing. We would highly recommend!

Great introductory tour to Egypt and the Red sea - 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 Cie.

Had the best experience with Look at Egypt Tours - I arranged a tailor-made 21-day private guided tour package for my wife and myself with Look at Egypt Tours in June 2022.
And what an awesome trip it was!
All arrangements were perfect. We had the use of the best land transportation and hotels (with upgrades whenever possible). The Kempinski Nile, Park Regency Sharm and Steinberger Cecil Alexandria hotels deserve special mention as the most memorable places to stay.
Siwa Oasis as a destination was also most memorable- laid back and traditional; our guide (Mufassa- more on him below) made sure we tried the best local food upon our request. And we challenged him on that so we were able to try all the local specialties: oven baked beef, fried stuffed pigeon, fried liver and grilled lamb.
I would like to make special commendations to Mr Kandeel who assisted me in tailor-fitting our trip, Mahmoud- an especially amiable and elegant fellow- who greeted us upon our midnight arrival, at all airport and hotel transfers, and saw us through to departure.
Most special mention goes to Mufassa who was our guide in Cairo through to Alexandria and onto Siwa. Mufassa was a joy to be with. He made sure we were very happy with our trip. And of course our driver, Nasser who ably and safely navigated the long stretches of desolate highways on the 10hr road trip to Siwa (11hrs back to Cairo). Both were such pleasant company, were knowledgeable and appreciated good local food.

So impressed with Look at Egypt! - My husband and I planned a last minute trip organized by Look at Egypt. We were very impressed with everything- the staff were accessible and organized, our tour guides were wonderful and every logistic was handled seamlessly. They helped us customize a 14-day itinerary and booked us reservations at wonderful hotels. One of our favorite parts of the experience was having private tours. It's a really unique experience to have a tour guide to yourself. If you are thinking of an Egypt trip, we found Look at Egypt to be wonderful and to have competitive rates.

Best experience you could possibly ask for! - We've had a wonderful time in 🇪🇬 with Look at Egypt Tours.
We've actually had a 14 days trip and the entire experience was really good and exceeded our expectations.
Randa and Ahmed are the best guides you could possibly ask for! They are very knowledgeable, kind, friendly, helpful and patient.
They managed a group over 50 people and kept us safe and well cared for during our entire trip.
Definitely recommend it!
Yalla Yalla in 🇪🇬!

First Class Private Tour Company - My wife and I had our honeymoon trip with Look at Egypt tours . We have been on many group tours but like to book private tours with local tour companies in countries where the prices are reasonable. Egypt is one of those countries. We could book a private tour with LAE at approximately the same per day cost as the group tour company we normally use but with a private tour you have so much more flexibility. The whole tour went like clockwork. All the guides and drivers were very good. They even had a tour leader ( Tarek) Who meets you at the airport and walks you through the visa and immigration process. The best for my wife was our luxury resort at Hurghada on the Red Sea Look at Egypt tours put us in a fabulous resort included everything food and soft & hard drinks included. It was a good break between the historic sights of Cairo and Luxor. The Nile cruise boat they chose was also incredible . Look at Egypt tours is highly recommended by us.

An incredible team - we recently completed a 12 day tour across Egypt with Look at Egypt Tours and couldn't be happier with the way that Ahmed and his team managed everything along the way, when we needed anything they were available and always supportive in making sure the details were managed. We had professional guides, great accommodations, and incredible experiences that could not have been coordinated without the help from Ahmed. We are a family of 5 and really enjoyed our travels with the Look at group and would certainly recommend them to others.

Don't book a private tour or travel with them if you are a woman - I have bad critics from every day of the trip but to make it short, I request by internet a customized private tour regardless of the price. The negotiations went very well and I got every excursion and extras included.
When we arrived on-site, the first day in Cairo we got a nice egyptologist (a woman) and it went well until I had to request the camel ride, an extra she that the agency doesn't tell her we paid for.
For the second day we traveled to start the Nile cruise and then the new tour guide (a very misogynist man called Mohammed) told us that we had to share this part of the tour with a family of 5, mom dad and 3 kids from 7 to 10 (not what you expected when you paid for a private tour and you go in couple).
When I complain to him he said to my husband not to me that we cannot change anything, so, I called directly to the agency to talk to his boss Mr. Ahmed, who told me that it was not like if we were going to sleep with the family in the same room so I should not complain.
Then he starts mansplaining that the family was very nice and that I should not complain. I try to explain to him that that was not the point, the point was that I requested a private tour, then he starts screaming over the phone so my husband pass and by miracle he clamed down and between men they arrived to talk (however we had to share our "private tour")
When we arrived at the cruise, as I didn't like the room included in the package, I asked to upgrade to a suite directly with the cruise personal and to my surprise, our tour guide Mohammed asked me "who authorized you to change your room, why didn't you ask me?"
As I had booked my tour 2 months in advance I thought that the sunset sailing tour that I book as extra, as well as the hot air baloon for the sunrise, were already booked. To my surprise, Mohammed told us that there was no boat available for the sunset but for 2 pm (of course they were lots of boats but they were not his friends)
And that there was no hot air balloon for sunset but for 8 am, so when I asked him to explain to me why these activities were not reserved 2 months ago when pre-paid my tour, he just looked at my husband and said "your wife is very fierce".
One day after dinner he said to my husband that women should not manage money and that he should call our bank and report my cards as stolen and don't give me a replacement.
Also at his job he was terrible, he invents everything he said about the temples. my husband was reading at night every day because we were always inventing (but the agent said we will have egyptologist as tour guides)
We finished our tour with a desert camping with a tour guide that didn't speak a word of English and that put us in a tiny uncomfortable car for a 4 hours drive. He was listening to the pray high volume and when we ask him to stop the radio after 20 min he became upset and low the volume, then I asked to stop the radio and he ignored me and then when my husband got upset they finally dit it.
In conclusion, all the landscape are beautiful but I do regret to have chosen that agency, I don't recommend to my friends or to anyone
