12 out of 10 stars!
James H, 12/11/21

I can't say enough great things about Memphis Tours. And I don't 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 can't recommend these guys enough. My sister used them and highly recommended them, and now I do also.

Great tour and well organized. Amazing guide
David H, 11/7/21

My partner and I had booked our 8d trip to Egypt via Memphistours and we were very happy with everything. Everything was very smooth from the airport pickup to the day tours in Cairo, internal flights to Luxor and back from Aswan and the time we had on the cruise. I'd especially highlight our guide Abdullah who was with us during the cruise and did an amazing job. He was very knowledgeable about all the history of the sights we visited and full of interesting stories from the ancient times.

Memphis Tours is a remarkable company
Johnny, 8/27/21

It was a wonderful tour from start to finish. We felt safe, well taken care of, and in knowledgeable hands the entire time. Everything was perfectly timed out from early morning sightseeing to afternoon rests out of the heat. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour.
