I had a great trip with Memphis Tours. However, our guide took us to several souvenir stores, and we later found out that the souvenir stores Memphis took us to were 50% higher than other stores. We were told by locals in Cairo that the tour guides make a 50% profit from our purchases for taking us to certain souvenir stores. Buyer beware, comparison shop before purchasing any high ticket items like Egyptian Jewelry. The hotel Lobby stores at the five star Hotel Mena Oberoi had egyptian jewelry priced at 50% less than the stores the guide took us to. The only other complaint is they were not flexible in making any changes to existing tours. We had requested a change since our cruise ship arrived very late. Other than these issues the guide and driver were very helpful.
