Giza Pyramids & Egyptian Museum Tour

An Unforgettable Egyptian Adventure with Memphis Tours An Unforgettable Egyptian Adventure with Memphis Tours We have just returned from an absolutely incredible trip to Egypt, organised by Memphis Tours and expertly coordinated by Nancy Nessem, and we cannot recommend them highly enough. We were a party of four, myself, my wife, our 12 year old son and my 83 year old mother-in-law. From the moment we arrived at Cairo Airport, the organisation, friendliness and professionalism were evident. We were welcomed by Monika Iskandr, who was wonderfully friendly and helpful. She was able to answer all our questions and provide all the information we needed, setting the perfect tone for the adventure ahead. Our first day of sightseeing was led by Abdo Abogad, who guided us around the magnificent Great Pyramids of Giza and the spectacular Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo. Abdo’s knowledge was simply outstanding, his English was excellent, and his enthusiasm really brought the history of ancient Egypt to life. Abdo, together with our second facilitator, Ashraf Turky, went above and beyond when we discovered that evening we had left a suitcase behind at our hotel. They pulled out all the stops to retrieve it. What a fantastic team of chaps – nothing seemed too much trouble! Next, we travelled south to visit the Temple of Philae, the magnificent Abu Simbel temples and a brief stop at the impressive High Dam in Aswan. Our guide, Zachariah, was another absolute star. His knowledge was off the charts, and his welcoming manner made the whole experience even more enjoyable. His passion for Egypt and its history was infectious. Then came our 3 day Nile cruise, from Aswan to Luxor where we were fortunate enough to have the charismatic and thoroughly entertaining Ahmed Awad as our guide. Ahmed was simply amazing. As we explored Edfu, Kom Ombo, the Colossi of Memnon, the incredible Valley of the Kings and the magnificent temples of Karnak and Luxor, his knowledge of ancient Egyptian history was second to none. Again his manner and delivery of the information was pitched perfectly. What made Ahmed particularly special was his local knowledge and personal connection to the area, having grown up in a village on Luxor’s West Bank. This added a whole new dimension to our visits, giving us insights and stories that went far beyond what you might find in a guidebook. His enthusiasm, personality and ability to bring thousands of years of history to life made him an absolute pleasure to spend time with. I think the fact our son never once complained about sightseeing or said “I’m bored” is solid testament to the quality of all our guides and everyone at Memphis Tours. We must also give a huge mention to all our Memphis Tours drivers. Every single one was professional, courteous and, most importantly, an incredibly capable driver. We always felt safe and well looked after throughout our travels. Every member of the team played their part in making this a truly memorable experience. The people really made the difference, and we came away not only having seen some of the most extraordinary sights in the world but also having met some genuinely lovely people. Thank you, Memphis Tours. Egypt was amazing, your team was exceptional, and we would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone considering a trip to this incredible country. By

This tour was the highlight of our trip. Our guide Donya was so knowledgeable and shared so many tidbits and fun information about the pyramids and Egypt overall. Our driver was lovely as well. We easily got around lines and had time for photos. The lunch provided was plentiful and delicious. Highly recommend this tour … and remember to tip your guides.

I took a perfect trip through various cities and tourist attractions in Egypt with Memphis Tours. We want to thank Roaa, Ayman, Ahmed, Osama, Mahmoud, Ehab, and everyone who gave us affection, attention, and introduced us to the wonderful history and culture of Egypt. Everyone was extremely professional and kind to us. Ayman is very helpful and cheerful, with only 22 years old he has a bright future. Osama, the driver is a big guy. He treated us with a lot of affection, even without speaking Portuguese. The guides Mahmoud and Ehab are brilliant. How much professionalism and knowledge. They also treated us with a lot of affection and respect. Congratulations to the two of you. Regarding Roaa, I thank you for your patience and for helping us create a perfect script. Our trip would not have been so brilliant without your collaboration. Congratulations to the entire Memphis Tours team!!

The company is excellent and reliable, they provide end-to-end service, with great guides, drivers, support, etc. The guide Maria is excellent, a lovely person. The driver Bishoy is great too. Ayman, Ahmed, Ziad and others left us calm from beginning to end.

It was great except the boat should not have docked next to an area that had loud music playing very late. I recommend finding another area to dock.
