We can not begin to say enough positive about GAT Tours and the tour guides - Hassan and Sayed - who provided an informative and entertaining first trip to Egypt. We spent 10 days touring Cairo, Alexandria, Aswan, Luxor and the Valley of the Kings, as well as a 3 night Nile cruise. Every detail was covered by a professional and enthusiastic company representative, starting with Yasser who met us at the airport and helped us clear immigration and customs at 3:30 in the morning. He was the first person we met in Egypt and he was a wonderful ambassador for Egypt. We felt safe at all times and that our needs were cared for and exceeded. Our driver in Cairo/Alexandria, Muhammad, was an expert in maneuvering the Cairo traffic and was able to get us everywhere efficiently and safely. The tour guides were very personable and extremely knowledgeable and even provided expert photo opportunities that allows us both to be in the pictures. Would highly recommend GAT tours for personalized service that far exceeded expectations. All of the people we met were wonderful.rojan10

What an awesome experience with an amazingly awesome tour guide. Ahmed Hamed is truly a professional at what he does.On time.Picked us up from Ramses HILTON HOTEL CAIRO. From the moment we met him he oozed passionate about his job. Clear,precise, explained to us how the day is planned. No queuing for any tickets. Had a driver so he could give us undivided attention at all times. Explained every detail. He was so educated in the Egyptian History.All my husband's difficult questions were answered with precision.He went out of his way to order our lunch. Water & cold drinks were on the house. All this with ease in the craziness of Cairo traffic. EMO TOURS definitely comes highly recommended especially with a guy like Ahmed Hamed. Looking forward to our next tour day in Coptic/Mosque & Church tour with Ahmed. Kind Regards Anand & Roja South Africavivianaalfaros

I would like to thank GAT Tours who organized our once in a life time trip to Egypt. It all started with meeting Mohamed Ramadan at the Cairo International Airport, who helped us in going through all the formalities with ease. He helped us from literally before we went through Egyptian Customs. He then introduced us to our driver for the duration of the trip, Mr Mohamed Ali. Mr Mohamed is a fantastic man, he knows every shortcut in Egypt, he was very patient and was a lot more than just a driver to us, he was like our personal security, always looking out for us and providing local knowledge as he droves us through different towns. After a nights rest at our hotel, we were greeted in our hotel lobby by Ms Manar. She is an excellent guide whose knowledge of Egypt is vast, and who never got tired of repeating what we did not understand - that also with a smile. Courtesy her, we could have some lovely Egyptian Cuisines, at some of the best places. She even took us at the right places to buy Souvenirs, Egyptian perfumes and Papyrus paintings. We were booked in with one of the best 5 star hotels in Cairo, the team at GAT tours were also a 5 star operation. They went above and beyond to ensure every morning and afternoon that everything was ok and we were comfortable Mr Mohamed Ali even helped me with a personal favour! I wanted to wear the traditional Arabic mens clothing and headpiece for some photos in the desert with the camels. I pre arranged this with him and he went out of his way to buy me these garments to ensure I was able to take the memorable photos I had wanted to. Thank you for this. I cannot thank this company enough for such a wonderful tour and providing us with a lifetime of memories. I strongly encourage others to book with themKamal A

We were greeted right from the Airport arrival hall. Hotels had amazing views facing the pyramids and the other one facing the Nile river. They were very nice to give a complimentary sim card that cater for all my communication need during my stay. The tour guide was a knowledgeable Egyptologist, capable of reading all the ancient scriptures. Within 2 days we mesmerised by the amazing heritage from ancient Egypt to the Islamic dynasties until the current republic. We were charmed by Saqqara warm hospitality during lunch stop. The food was unforgettable Wear comfortable shoes. July weather is quite challenging.sindzkhoza

Upon our arrival at the airport we were met by Omar before even getting to passport control. This was very pleasant as Omar made sure we had the correct documents and had filled in the correct info on the forms prior to getting to the front, (airport staff are not the friendliest) But things went smoothly from then on, as he made sure we arrived safely at our hotel, he explained everything to us and briefed us on what to expect. After Omar checked us in we had a rest day and got ready for what was ahead, On all the tours the tour guides we well informed, patient, and had a good sense of humor and had a very welcoming demeanor. We did alot of tours during our 7 day visit in Egypt and the guide took us on extra cultural visits where we see the oils and fabric factory as well as how they make the papayus paper etc. My favourite was Muhammed when we went on the Mt Sinai climb where we had booked the sunrise hike(night), but he advised us to do the sunset hike(day) as climbing up the mountain is rocky and not easy and also you still get to see the sunset. Boy was he right, it is not an easy climb and it makes it so much easier seeing the stones and rocks clearly in the sunlight, I ended up taking the camel ride but that only gets you up to a certain level of which the rest you must walk yourself if you wanna reach the top. I really appreciated the care Muhammed showed us as he literally held my sweaty hand going up, didn't complain when I wanted to take a million breaks and really motivated me to get to the top. He even bought me muscle cream (from his own pocket) to rub on my legs so they don't get too sore. I highly suggest a stay at one of the Resorts in Sharm El Sheik if you choose to do Mt Sinai. its a lovely way to relax after climbing the mountain. It was truly a memorable trip we had and I couldn't have asked for better guides to share my journey with. I would recommend GAT tours to anyone and I will definately be using them again soon. Thank you to all the guides, drivers and esp Omar and Muhammed. Omar you really took care of us, we felt safe the entire time and because of that we will be coming back in the near future to visit with our little ones.
