“Highly recommended and very informative”

We appreciated the welcome we received by this company, the driver and the guide. Throughout today we felt very looked after. They made sure we saw everything we wished to view in the valley of the kings and Luxor. Our guide was supremely knowledgable and shared so many extra bits of informatiion which made the experience so much better. We will come back one day and will definately book with this company. We thank all at memphis, best wishes Simon and Glenda S. Australia

We enlisted Memphis to organise tours to Luxor and the Giza pyramids on 2 separate days. booking through them was well organised and our guides, Ahmed Amine(Luxor) and Mohamed Salam(Cairo) very knowledgeful and with excellent English. They picked us up from our ship at Safaga and Sohkna and drove us to the sites. I have no hesitation in recommending the company and these particular guides. Only small negative is that they were a little unwilling to provide a further discount when we added extra members to our party.
“Luxor day trip Dec 2012”

Thanks to Memphis tours for making our day trip an amazing experience. We were collected at the port by Amed and driver Saed with 2 other customers and speedily tansferred to Luxor, Saed..what a driver!!! move over Louis Hamilton....and Amed what a great character.
We met with our tour guide Nadia in Luxor who took us round the sites we wanted to see, she was brilliant, her knowledge and enthusiam made this a really great and interesting day out...although a long day it was made worth it with Memphis tours... We were returned to our ship safely and in plenty of time.
This is not a trip you could easilly do yourself and nor would you benefit from the expertise of a personal guide...and a driver who can manage the roads/traffic and security so well as Saed did. Id thouroughly recomend Memphis tours ...especially as they were also far cheaper than the cruiseship excursion price.

“Two Day Trip to Luxor from Sharm-El-Sheikh”

Me and my Mum went to Sharm-El-Sheikh and we are both into finding out the history of where we are. Many people told us back home that we should do the Luxor trip but a one day one will prove too much for my mum> I did a search on tripadvisor and read some great reviews about this company so thought I would give them a Go.
I spoke to a lady called Fatma Sayed from the Cairo office online and she was extremely helpful. I told her my dates and also what I wanted to see and do. I organised my own flights and hotel as flights directly from Egyptair.com are cheaper than through an operator and I had point for free stay at a hotel so I booked that on my own. But the rest I left to Fatma to organise.
I did contact other companies but they were not helpful as Memphis Tours and they were able to provide me with everything. On day one we saw Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple and Karnak Temple Lights and Sound show in the evening which is very nice and should be seen. On day two we did the Valley of Kings and Queens, Hephesphut Temple and also had a Falucca Bost trip booked which was cancelled and we went on a motor boat instead as there was a sand storm and bad wind and Faluccas were not able to sail. I also paid the extra to see the Tutankamun Tomb and it is really worth it. So my advise is hat you don't miss this.
The only part of my two days which I thought was a bit pointledd was the boat ride to Banana Island. It is a very short ride from my hotel and you are barely on the boat and banana island is only a banana farm with nothing else there. I stayed at the Sheraton on the Nile and had a nile View and I could see the farm from across the river straught over. If I had known this then I would have not bothered with the boat, but I supose we had to kill 7 hours before our flight and the trip was worth it rather than a long wait in the reception of the hotel.
The lunch provided on both days was of a high standard at a small restaurant called Bon Appetit, and very tasty. It was proper egyptian food. If you do use memphis in Luxor ask them to take you to this restaurant. And the whole tour was a VIP tour with just me and my mum so we went at our pace.
Just one tip though, the drivers of the vehicle keep changing and you are expected to tip each one. Its up to you but my sugestion is that you make it clear to the egyptologist/guide that you will only tip one driver or you will tip them for the whole trip at the end and they can all share it out between them as if you pay as you go you will end up paying a fortune in tips as the people keep changing. Not sure whether this is deliberate or not, but bear my tip in mind.
The guide/egyptologist we had was Shaima and she was extremely great and very informatiove. She was very knowledgeable and a wonderful host.
Basically to finish I would definately recommend the trip iver two days and it also gives you a chance to relax as even in their winter months the heat tires yu out.
Well recommended and we had a superb time. Very memorable.
