Egypt - Wow! The service was astoundingly good! Memphis Tours made our trip memorable in every way! We were met as we got off the plane and were waved off on our departure.
I cant say enough great things about Memphis Tours. And I dont mean your typical good review. These guys went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure my wife and I felt safe and had an enjoyable time. Considerate, outgoing, respectful, time after time the guides and drivers made us feel like royalty. I cant recommend these guys enough. My sister used them and highly recommended them, and now I do also.
We had an amazing experience in Egypt! I had thought that when I booked, I had joined a smaller tour group, but it turns out we had booked an entirely private tour - we always had our own private transport everywhere we went and our own personal guide. We would never take that back! It was wonderful to have undivided attention and to be able to build our own schedule. Thank you, Memphis tours, for this perfect trip!
