Trip of a lifetime. Marwa Samir was an amazing advisor who booked everything for us. Ahmed was our tour manager in Cairo and was really great. Rasha was a great tour guide in Aswan. LT was a great tour guide in Luxor.

We did a 8-day tour custom tour with Memphis Tours that included Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and Abu Simbel. Marwa Samir was our tour advisor who made all the arrangements including creating the itinerary, internal flights and transportation, five-star hotels, guides at every location, meals and more. We couldn't have packed so much into our trip without his help. In Cairo, our tour manager was Ahmed who was just amazing. He went out of his way to make every arrangement for us so that our trip would be the most pleasant and enjoyable. In Aswan, our guide was Rasha who was also excellent and in Luxor, our guide was "LT" who was also amazing. Overall, it was a trip of a life-time. The kids (9 and 12) had an amazing time. The hotels were great - but the Hilton in Luxor was just outstanding. We also did extra activities like camel ride and ATV ride in Cairo. We enjoyed all the meals with traditional Egyptian food. The visits to the museums were awesome, with detailed explanations from the guides. Just couldn't have been better. Thank you Memphis Tours!!

Due to my walking disability, Memphis tours could not have accommodated me more. Virtually a private tour with a wheelchair aid, driver and tour guide. The vehicles were 1st class. Our guides were exceptional. They treated me as they would a brother. Always concerned with my welfare. I can’t praise the them enough. I consider them friends now. They helped my daughter and I create a memory we will always share together.

An unqualified 5! The very first contact last December answered by Ms. Mai made me feel assured that I made the right choice in booking our trip with Memphis. Mai was understanding, reactive, constructive in advice and patient - and finalized a very nice itinerary with the best possible choices. From the time we were picked up at the airport to after 11 days beings brought back to from where we had started everything worked exactly as planned. There was not the slightest b-Mall!. Other than thanking Mai we want to mention specifically that during our 5 days in Cairo guide Shrouk and driver Magdy were a wonderful "tandem". Shrouk was one of the best guides we had in our many travels: she shared rather than explained - and provided the "big picture" rather drowning us in details.

It was a really good comprehensive experience balancing a lot of Ancient Egypt ( cairo luxor abu simbel aswan abydos .... and more ) with enough social( around in cairo luxor esna ) and nature ( the Nile , the country side to Dendera the desert) The interaction with the young memphis guides was an added value ! Also from a social point of view Mr Soliman that was with us in the South ...may I say outstanding ? 😉

Our guide, Aladin was wonderful. Very knowledgeable on the history of the sites as our guide and solicitous of our comfort. His English was great...a very good communicator. Abu Simbel is not to be missed. I highly recommend Memphis Tours for guides.

Memphis Tours did an amazing job planning my family's Egypt trip. I had to cover 5 places in 6 days (Cairo, Giza, Luxor, Aswan and Abu Simbel) They made it almost effortless for me to cover all these places. We would start the day early to cover everything scheduled for that day, and they were very punctual and professional at each an every location I visited. I interacted with different people at each location and each and every one was amazing, the Tour Operators, the Tour Guides and the Drivers. I would highly recommend Memphis ours to anyone wanting to visit Egypt. Special thanks to some of the folks who helped my trip be great Cairo/Giza Tour Operator: Ahmed Alaa Tour Guide: Mohamed Salah Driver: Labib Luxor Tour Operator: Mahmoud Essa Guide: Samira Hot air balloon: Mohamed Aswan Tour Operator: Walid

I spent less than 2 weeks in Egypt during Easter holiday. That included flights from my home town (Hong Kong) to Cairo, 4 nights at Cairo, and another 4 nights on Nile cruise (a one-way journey from Luxor to Aswan). There were dosmetic flights that brought us between Cairo and the cruise trip. As I haven’t been to this country before, I relied heavily on the travel advice from the agency as well as the tour guide before and during the trip. My vacation turned out to be a wonderful experience. Memphis did a great job in delivering us an authentic yet tourist-friendly side of ancient and modern Egypt within a somewhat tight schedule. While being professional and hospitable, the agency was highly flexible with our requests, which I considered a merit to mention. Special thanks to Mr. Amgd Fawzy, the eyes and ears of our whole trip, who gave us all the necessary tips and support whenever we needed. With Memphis, we enjoyed our trip to the fullest. I would seriously recommend Memphis to anyone who wish to plan a visit to Egypt.

Memphis Tours planned an amazing 10 day trip allowing us to customize it for our needs. Dependable and professional service reliably meeting at each airport, very nice transportation and amazing tour guides. Fadi in Cairo and Ahmed on the Nile were extremely knowledgeable and brought the history to life. We felt safe and well cared for and also had time to do our own thing (dirt biking in the Sahara and scuba diving in the Red Sea). Highly recommend using Memphis Tours to plan and execute a seamless visit to Egypt. One of our best trips ever!

We had a big family trip from Luxor to Aswan and ending with Abu Simbel in private boat. A dream come true! The full trip was beautifully organised and our guide, Suleiman, was precise, smiling and very capable of understanding and preempting all our different needs (different age group - from 12 to 80). He was very caring and discreet! Thank you Memphis and thank you Suleiman!

The planning was simple. Their experts laid out a fantastic itinerary. Once we connected with Mohamed Saady, our personal Egyptologist, every aspect of our trip ran perfectly. Behind the rope tours of tombs, extra time on the sights we wanted to see most, the best food and help negotiating with locals. Cannot say enough good things about Mohamed or the whole experience.

Samaa from Memphis Tours was beyond excellent and I highly reccomend that you ask for her.I took 17 people to Cairo including a 5 day cruise down the Nile River. We only had a small blimp from the tour guide on the cruise, he wanted to change our itenary and insert a side trip for his personal financial gain. This was rejected! . Our entire team thanku for all the long hours in coordinating every aspect of our trip. We will absolutely do it again.Memphis Tours 5 Star Travel Agency

Let me start by saying that we had great guides and drivers. But that's it. We had booked a fully private tour with Memphis. And time again had specified that we wanted it to be per our time. Didn't feel like that. Our tour manager in Cairo controlled everything. Didn't pay attention to what we were asking from him. The worst part is the ground crew and the tour planner don't communicate well. We were dropped off at the Cairo airport 5 hrs before departure and then the flight was delayed. they could have started our day a little late. There was no one to help at the airport as it was messy and chaotic entering it. We were going to spend a night in Abu simbel and had to catch a flight back from Aswan. We were told that pick up would come at 9 am. for a 3 hr drive to Aswan for a 7 pm flight. And it would be an airport drop only no other sites or stops would be done as it would cost extra. I don't understand why were not booked on an earlier flight then. They charge you big bucks and then save to airline tickets etc. Out hotel in Cairo was also changed at the last minute and I had issues with asthma due to my dust allergies. After paying $4700 per person I expected it to be an awesome trip. The tour manager in Cairo was only interested in getting big tips. Was very rude to talk to. Never ever booking with them again or referring them to my friends.

When, in October 2023, I first told my family that I was headed to Egypt in March 2024, they met my big announcement with concern about global events, about my safety as an American traveling abroad in the Middle East, and about my immersion in a very different society and culture from the one that I'm used to as an American. Ever since I came back from this trip with a grin on my face and memories to last a lifetime, my family has since changed their minds and have celebrated the wonderful time I had. I owe a large part of that to my tour provider, Memphis Tours. Egypt can be a difficult landscape to navigate for solo travelers. Cairo has a hectic traffic scene, travelers have to get a visa at the airport, there are dozens of locals looking to make a quick buck through propositioning tourists with sketchy deals, and there is so much ground to cover if you truly desire to explore the width and breadth of the country. Yet I never felt directionless or alone during my time with Memphis. From my arrival in Cairo - when I was helped through the visa process by a tour leader and driven directly to my hotel (and everywhere else important, for that matter) by a private driver - down to my navigation of stops on the tour, I was always accompanied by tour personnel who truly cared about maximizing my once-in-a-lifetime experience in their country. I can personally testify to the difference they make; I roamed Cairo by myself on the first day and was quickly overwhelmed by the challenges of being a solo traveler. Yet, upon starting my week-long Memphis tour the next day, I never again felt lost, confused, or even unsafe. In fact, I never felt more at home in a foreign country than when I was with my tour personnel. The tour leader Mustafa Noby, whom I met in Luxor, was incredibly friendly and approachable, and we quickly hit it off while talking about Egypt, travel in general, and just about every other topic. He helped recommend a carriage ride through Luxor on realizing how much I desired to explore the living, breathing culture of Egypt. It was truly sad to part ways with such an amazing tour leader, but he helped me make the most of my time in Luxor. My time on the Steigenberger Regency cruise from Luxor to Aswan was not only made comfortable and happy by the amazing crew - including my group's funny waiter Sayed - but made excellent by our tour guide, Dr. Ahmed Ameen. I chanced upon Dr. Ahmed on the sun roof before our tour even convened, and we immediately bonded due to his wealth of knowledge about Egyptology and my own curiosity. I not only found a great tour guide, but a great friend whom I continue to keep in touch with. Dr. Ahmed was protective of the three of us in his group whenever we walked past touts in marketplaces or bazaars, told the stories of Ancient Egypt with charisma, humor, and great detail, and was always approachable and in great spirits. I thank my lucky stars that I had such an out-of-this-world tour guide, whom I genuinely missed after our final huzzah at Abu Simbel. Dr. Shrouk Farouk was my last tour guide, guiding me through Cairo for two days. She made some of the most impactful and positive adjustments to my adventure, including rearranging my schedule so that I had more time at the Egyptian Museum on the first day, and even switching out a planned visit to the touristy Cairo Tower for an immersive adventure into Coptic Cairo, a spiritual experience I'll never forget. She paid close attention to every preference I (even inadvertently) hinted at, such as my love for protein-rich meals, and she made two restaurant reservations at top-notch hotel restaurants where I was able to enjoy the finest Egyptian dishes that perfectly suited my culinary desires. There are so many other people who helped make my Egypt adventure amazing, from my buggy driver in Luxor to the agent who helped me set up my trip, book my flight, and answer any other questions I had. I never felt that Memphis fell short in any regard; they gave me the trip that I signed up for, and more! As I said earlier, Egypt is not necessarily an easy atmosphere for solo tourists to adjust to, and there are plenty of challenges, from getting used to a culture of tipping to dealing with aggressive scammers and vendors. Memphis took my cares away while I was with them, especially Dr. Shrouk, who even said that she would be my "bodyguard" during my tour! I don't know that I could have enjoyed my adventure as much without the top-notch experience that Memphis provided, and without the amazing guides who brought out the best of Egypt during my week-long exploration of such a historic country. In terms of promised and delivered experiences, quality of service, and talent/care of all tour personnel, Memphis surpassed every expectation I had and made Egypt one of my favorite adventures.

I booked a 10-day personal trip through Memphis Tours and it was fantastic! They have been incredibly responsive and helpful. Each day was perfectly planned with a great balance of seeing everything I wanted combined with relaxation time. The places we stayed, the tour guides, the attention to detail, and the responsiveness and ability to customize the experience have been fantastic!

What can I say ?! My husband and I had an amazing time in the beautiful egypt . A lifetime first experience that will remain memorable to us forever. Memphis tour (Cairo to Abu Simbel) was amazing in ever way. I must mention and sincerely thank our tour leader yourself Magdy in Cairo for simply being the best at what he does . He made sure we were happy, entertained, and well informed of all the stages of our journey through the tour . He was professional, friendly always smiling and above all very dedicated to what he does . Our Cairo tour driver Mohammed Imad was excellent, friendly and highly skilled at driving around the busy Cairo. He made as feel very safe and was alway punctual. Thank you so much to every one who was involved in our trip for giving us a wonderful time full of unique memories. Amal & Stuart from the UK

As seniors we wanted to fulfill a life long dream to visit Egypt but needed a Tour Company that would individualize (a Cairo, Nile Cruse, Luxor, Aswan tour and several day tours) for just myself and my husband. In addition tours that would accommodate a wheelchair (supplied by Memphis Tours) when needed and my rollator and flexibility for each tour. After much research I found Abdo Younis of Memphis Tours, he did an excellent job in coordinating and “individualizing” our itinerary. We had a private Guide, a Driver and at times a person to push my wheelchair on uneven, difficult terrain. The Memphis Handicapped/Disability made our tour and goal of Egypt possible. Thank you Memphis. Our Tour Guide Ahmed Helal, (both times in Cairo) was very knowledgeable, caring, had a sense of Humor, “nothing was too much trouble” and enjoyable. Each of our tours: Pyramids of Giza, Museums, Citadel/Mohamed Ali Mosque, Coptic Church, Memphis and Saqqara were made special by Ahmed...you can tell he loved his job. His driver Abu Hariara was skillful and a very caring person. Since a step stool was not available he was very creative in finding a 'rock' for me to step on to get in and out of the Van. Abdelaah Wannan was a most knowledgeable and very experienced guide sharing facts of Luxor, Karnak, Edfu, Aswan and Nubian Village .​​ My wheelchair assistant, Rifay was a strong, caring and accomplished young man. SafariAbusimbel was our caring guide in Abu Simbel and eager to share the Glory of the spectacular RamsesII Temple. Our River Cruise boat Acamar II was lovely, had very clean handicapped rooms and the managers, staff, food and service were very good. Mohamed Fathi our tour coordinator kept in constant contact with us. He was professional, very flexible in advising & accommodating, tailoring our “extra” day tours and was there for the very early/late night Cairo Airport transports. This tour and Egypt were beyond our expectations and a magical experience. We felt extremely safe throughout all the tour locations. Angela and Frank

Memphis Tours is so reliable and efficient. Eleven of us flew to Cairo and then on to Luxor where we boarded the M.S. Salacia for a 5-day Nile River cruise, followed by Abu Simbel and then three nights in Cairo. Marwa, our contact at Memphis Tours worked really hard to make this a great trip for us. We were met at the airport in Cairo by Kero and he got us to the hotel and arranged an optional tour for us during a free day. Memphis Tours takes care of so many details that it makes the trip stress-free and incredibly enjoyable. I would never go to Egypt without the help of Memphis Tours.

Our tour from Cairo to Abu Simbel was very nice and very well organized. All the guides who accompanied us in the tour were very very good! Especially Thanks to Maha Mohamed who followed us during the online reservation process, to Mahmoud Essa who collect us to the airport and took to the hotels in Cairo, to Gianni Who guides us to discover Cairo and Cairo egyptian museum, Milad who explained us every details of temples and egyptian culture! Everything was very good! All the guides were very nice, friendly gentle, speak a very good italian, and were very well prepared. We suggest you to choose Viaggio in Egitto and Memphis tour!
