We traveled to Egypt in March 2010 with a group of 6 adults and 4 teenagers. Our trip was amazing, and due to the well planned efforts of Memphis tours. From the initial planning with Shaimaa (who was ever so patient with the fine tuning of the trip) to our Luxor/Aswan guide Hosni Ahmed, everything went exactly as planned. The guides really engaged the group, and Hosni managed to even connect with the teenagers, getting them to sing Egyptian songs with him by the end of the trip. We felt very safe the entire trip, and well taken care of. Some of our best memories from the trip are sitting with Hosni smoking a shisha pipe in a local cafe. We have a very different view of Egypt because of the interaction with our guides, than we would have had we only visited the tourist sites without them. Another highlight was our day trip on the felucca Glory of Nubia in Aswan - almost a surreal experience on the Nile. Well worth any effort to add it to your trip.
