We travelled to Egypt from Feb 16-19 and used memphis tours in cairo and luxor. It was fantastic. Our cairo guide was Ms. Rehab...she was FANTASTIC. She was very nice and explained everything to us. I will stay in touch with her for years to come! She also stopped with us at the bank, grocery store and the bazaar. She was great! Our driver was also fantastic, i could not tour cairo on my own, its a busy place!!!!!! The luxor tour was fantastic also. I would recommend to first time visitors to do luxor first and cairo last. Luxor is the opposite of cairo, smaller, cleaner and more green spaces. Our guide was Fantastic (cant remember her name, sorry) she was wonderful! She would give us botled water at every monumnet as it was 42 C in luxor and we would be dehydrated FAST! She also stopped at a grocery store and got us some turkish coffee to take home. One thing you will notice is in egypt they use two prices, local and tourist prices. Tourists obviously pay more. so having a guide who is local is a bonus :) I would highly recommend memphis tours, i would not recommend touring on your own, Lots of haggling and its difficult for first time visitors, but with a tour company like memphis tours its much easier.....egypt is a lot to take in....its very busy, chaotic but i fell in love with her. Beautiful country and wonderful people!
