Having recently returned from a holiday in Egypt booked through Memphis tours, we found them to be unreliable, disorganised and unprofessional. We had problems most days, including no representative meeting us from the night train at Aswan, no hotel bookings made for us on arrival at hotels, and no tour was booked for us in Aswan.. On our first day our itinerary was the pryamids in the morning and the Egyptian museum in the afternoon. We were collected from our hotel at 9am, and we wanted to inside the big pyramid. we were not told that you have to be at the big pyramid at 8am to obtain tickets as they only allow 100 visiters inside in a morniong. We therefore missed out. In the afternoon was our visit to the Egyptian museum - we were then told the museum closes on a wednesday afternoonin.. The guide did not have the inteligence to take us to the museum in the morning and the pyramids in the afternoon. If we had not added an extra day in Cairo at the end of our tour, we would have not been able to visit the museum. There were more incidents and problems with Memphis tours, which I wont go into - but to conclude we certainly would not recommend this company. Shop around, there are many good tour operators.
