5.00We had a wonderful experience with this tour in Egypt, and I would like to sincerely appreciate the entire team for making our trip smooth and memorable. A special thanks to Ameera, our guide, who was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about Egyptian history. She explained everything clearly and made each site come alive with context and stories. Her professionalism and friendly nature made the experience even more enjoyable. Our driver, Karam, deserves appreciation as well. He was punctual, calm, and drove very safely throughout the journey, which gave us complete peace of mind. I would also like to thank Ramadan and Omar, the organisers, for their excellent coordination and support. Everything was well planned, communication was clear, and they were always available whenever we needed assistance. Overall, this was a very well-organised tour, and I highly recommend this team to anyone planning to visit Egypt.

5.00If we could give more than 5 star they deserve it, Very professional very helpful very friendly. Our tour starred 20th Nov and ended 29th November. From arrival in airport till departure everything was more than 100% perfect. Dina is best, if anyone connects Gat tour please request Dina as Tour Manager/Planner she will pamper you so much that you will be in different world. From the day of planning she was so helpful and so considerate we changed our plans so many times but she never showed any hesitation. She is the best. Mrs Manar our tour guide got Cairo activates and GEM visit was simply amazing she ensured that we could visit GEM. The Nile cruise arranged by Dina was amazing with river view room, large options of food etc. Mahmud our guide in Aswan to Luxor was very helpful. Unfortunately our balloon ride was cancelled due to weather but Dina was sweet enough to get us refund. Mr Mahfouz our tour guide in Bahriya he is a gem of a person. He is just like Dina who will pamper you so much that when you leave them back you feel sad with wet eyes. Thanks Mahfouz for making our day and also for lovely dates we cherish the memories , hope we meet again. Thanks to Omar for taking care of all our immigration, airport and train pickups. And Big thanks to Gat Team for making our trip so memorable Cheers to the Team .

5.00I can’t say enough positive things about GAT Tours. They made the whole experience SO easy and enjoyable — even prior to our arrival. Mr. Ahmed sent us our itinerary and was able to work with us to modify and add the camel ride in the pyramids. Then upon arrival to Cairo, Mr. Abdu walked us through immigration at the airport and helped us get our VISA expediting the process. Despite a delayed flight, Mr. Abdu and Mr. Mohammed were there waiting to pick us up. They helped us settle into our hotel with no hassle — and what a great hotel recommendation! The next day we met Mr. Sayed — INCREDIBLE tour guide with immense expertise in so many languages. I asked many questions and he answered each one, even taking notes with us on his notepad to help us understand even more clearly. We did two full day tours: first day at Cairo Museum + pyramids + sphynx and day two: Coptic Cairo, Citadel, market, mosques — we were SO surprised to walk into the room where the Holy Family spent three months as they fled from Herod. Wow. What an emotional moment. Mr. Sayed gave us time to take it all in. Upon departure, Mr. Abdu helped us so much during the check-in process and bag drop off. I am already recommending GAT Tours to all of my friends and family. If we could give more than five stars, we would!!! Thank you Mr. Ahmed, Mr. Abdu, Mr. Sayed, and Mr. Mohammed - we miss you already!
Fantastic experience of the tour of Egypt organised by GAT tours.

5.00We went on 6N/7D full package tour. It was well organised by the GAT tours. From the start of the tour till the mail nd of the tour it was great experience. Mr. Osama Ismail received and dropped off and managed well and was coordinating well with the tour guides and was very accommodative. Mr. Mohammed took care of us at Aswan and Luxor Nile cruise for 3 days. Very good guide and well informed. Gave us all the necessary information and very helpful. The last leg of the tour at Cairo was guided by Dr.Asmaa. She is highly qualified Egyptologist and was thorough and clear in her explanation of the history of Egypt. She was very good and shared enough information and gave us a clear explanation of many of the historical aspects of ancient and current Egyptian culture. Overall, Great Experience!!!

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00We have opted for all the best places in Egypt and Jordan. Main places to mention are Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, Amman, Petra, Sun City Wadi Rum, Dead Sea, Madaba, Jerash. Each and every leg has been customized to our requirement by GAT Tours team. They have engaged their best drivers, transport vehicles and most importantly tour guides of high repute. The hotels were of high standard and transfers between cities was seamless. They made sure that everything went so smooth. They delivered way beyond our expectations. We are so happy that we opted GAT Tours. All their representatives, tour manager were polite and accommodative and gave personal attention to all our needs. Their Driver Mr.Ahmed at Cairo is very experienced and helpful. Tour guide/Egyptologists Mr.Sayeed and Mr.Hussain have vast experience and gave us immense insights into Egyptian history. Tour/operations Manager Mr.Omar is exceptional and ensured that everything went as per the plan. I recommend GAT tours to have a memorable experience.
