" See Egypt with the Experts "

From the first email it was clear that the Memphis staff member, Yosri, was not only willing but eager to plan the best possible trip for my husband and I. Our tour not only completely suited us but utterly thrilled us. And at a very reasonable price. From the moment we landed in Cairo a Memphis staff member was there making sure that we had a wonderful time. Each of the guides we had was extremely knowledgeable, imparting his knowledge in an informative and engaging manner, helping us to get a real sense of the wonder we were seeing. Unfortunately a death in the family at home forced us to cut our trip short, again Memphis showed their worth, their consideration and assistance in organising our rushed trip home was exceptional. We look forward to booking our return trip to Egypt through Memphis Tours, in fact I wouldn't use any other tour company.

" Best Christmas EVER!!! "

It is coming to that time of year again where everyone thinks of the Christmas holidays. I am reminded of my last Christmas in Egypt with Memphis Tours. I spent 2 weeks in Egypt starting in December of 2012 to Jan of 2013. Marwa Samir booked everything and it was flawless. Tarek was great as well as Mohamed, Heussain, and Ahmed. Christmas day was spent at the Valley of the Kings. I will cherish my time in Egypt and look forward to my next trip. Memphis Tours is a great company and live up to their promises and I would not even think of using anyone else there truly is a reason that you see so many 5 star comments here. See you soon!

" Tour of Luxor and the Valley of the Kings "

I have previously written a glowing report about this company shortly after our return from Egypt but TA have removed it...So here goes with a second one!!
I visited Egypt in April with my 13 year old daughter and arranged a tour of Luxor, the Temples and the Valley of the kings with Memphis Tours. I can not recommend this company enough, an exceptional level of care. The highly professional, knowledgeable guides showed us all the important sites and were very helpful throughout the day. My daughter was a little overcome with the heat but the guide showed her such care, and the resturant where we went to have lunch looked after her making her some delicious tea and soup to help her feel better, and it worked and we were able to finish the tour.
I was so impressed with Memphis tours that I also booked other trips with them - a visit to a Egyptian show at a hotel complex in HUrghada - and once again our guide was brilliant and a glass bottomed boat trip.
I do not hesitate to recommend this company if you are visiting Egypt - they provide fantastic service, and really made our visit special.

"Unforgettable Egypt Tour with excellent and friendly Memphis Tours"

First of all thanks to every representatives of memphis in First Egypt for making our Egypt tour awesome! From the time of planning about the tour Maged was very prompt about all my questions. After the political instability when we decide to cancel the tour he guided us properly, providing updated information about the political situations and only for him we visited Egypt from 10th- 21st October,2013. My Booking No is 1023/10-2013.Our tour leaders- Hussein in Cairo,Khalid in Hurghada, Mahemood in Aswan- are very helpful and professional with a cordial approach. All the arrangements done by them were perfect. Our tour guide Yasser in Nile Cruise was just amazing with his approach, knowledge ,demonstrations as well as humors!!! He made our historical journey to NileValley memorable for ever. Our tour guide in Cairo Tarek was also very informative, helpful and cordial. Actually no words can describe their endeavour. highly recommend them for touring in Egypt.Our tour drivers are competent . Mr. Zakariya ,the driver in Cairo is very experienced, particular and caring. In total all the staffs are so friendly, helpful as well as professional to make our holidays remembered for ever. The Egypt is very very SAFE !! We felt Egypt as our second home with Memphis Tour. If you are not going Egypt with Memphis tours , you are missing some remarkable experiences there!!!
