Reviews for Valley Of The Kings Tours

P
Hurghada Over Day Tour to Luxor Balloon Ride and Felucca

The tour guide, Hassan, was excellent. Very informative without it being an information overload and a good sense of humous. Only negative comment was that lunch and dinner on day one were very average with drinks completely overpriced for the tourist. A fantastic overall experience visiting Luxor, bring plenty of small notes as everyone from security guards to the men checking your entrance tickets is after a tip!

10 Day Treasures of Egypt Tour Giza Pyramids & Cairo & Nile Cruise & Abu Simbel

Egypt had always been at the top of our bucket list. We were five friends who share a love of history and archaeology, so we wanted this trip to be truly special. Before making our decision, I contacted several tour companies, compared itineraries, prices, and reviews, and asked each company to customize a program based on what we wanted. From the very first email, Yasmin from Look at Egypt Tours stood out. She took the time to understand our interests, answered every question promptly, and created an itinerary that included everything we had hoped for while still fitting our budget. We never felt pressured, and the planning process was smooth and professional from beginning to end. When we arrived in Cairo, Ezz was waiting for us at the airport and helped us through the visa process. It was such a relief after a long flight. Throughout our 10-day trip, he was always available whenever we needed assistance and made sure every transfer, domestic flight, hotel check-in, and activity went exactly as planned. One of the biggest highlights was our guides. Calling them "tour guides" almost doesn't do them justice—they were true Egyptologists and incredible storytellers. They explained the history in a way that kept us engaged and made every temple, tomb, and monument even more fascinating. We especially want to thank Mostafa in Cairo and Farag in Luxor. Their knowledge, passion, and fluent Portuguese made a huge difference to our experience. Everything was extremely well organized. Hotels, transportation, flights, Nile cruise, timings, and sightseeing all ran seamlessly. We could simply enjoy the trip without worrying about logistics because every detail had already been taken care of. I also want to mention something that many travelers ask about. Before traveling, some of our family and friends were worried because of what they had seen in the news. After spending 10 days in Egypt, I can honestly say we felt safe everywhere we visited. Tourism is operating normally, the archaeological sites were full of visitors, and Cairo is a vibrant city that truly never sleeps. What impressed us most was the level of care we received before and during the trip. From planning months in advance to the final airport transfer, the team was always responsive, organized, and genuinely interested in making sure we had the best possible experience. This trip exceeded all of our expectations. Egypt is an extraordinary destination with breathtaking history, warm and welcoming people, and unforgettable memories. On behalf of all five of us, thank you to Yasmin, Ezz, Mostafa, Farag, and everyone at Look at Egypt Tours for helping us make a lifelong dream come true. I would highly recommend Look at Egypt Tours to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and professional company to organize a trip to Egypt. We couldn't have chosen a better team.
