‬‪A Great Tour Company All Around.‬ ‪Our trip to Egypt was amazing!! Egypt Tour Gates made the entire trip seamless. From meeting us in the Cairo airport and helping us with our luggage, monetary exchange and getting through customs to the exceptionally informative tour guides daily, this company was there every step of the way. We even fly to Luxor for a few days and the service there was the same. Our hotels and food were top tier. Also we had door to door service everywhere we went. If you are thinking of traveling to Egypt definitely choose Egypt Tour Gates. You won’t be disappointed.‬

‪Amazing Tour Guide‬‬ ‪Best tour guide anyone could ask for. Our family traveled with Ibrahim, he is very knowledgeable on Egyptian history for each site we visited and a great tour guide. Ibrahim was very thoughtful and made sure our fussy eater daughter had French fries for dinner as she wasn't keen on eating Egyptian food. I would definitely recommend any trip with Ibrahim‬
