What a Wonderful Fulfilling Experience
James M, 3/8/12
My wife, daughter and I completed a wonderful world tour earlier this year. We had many highlights; but the greatest highlight of all, was our time in Egypt; mainly because of our guide Ahmed and our driver Osama. We were based in Cairo, but our tours included day trips to Alexandria, the Suez Canal via Tanis, the Pyramids at Dahshur and around Faiyum and last but not least the Pyramids at Giza.
We felt absolutely safe and secure the whole time; mainly because of our guide and driver. A deep love and friendship developed between us so that we felt we were family; their warmth and consideration for us exceeded our expectations. So much so that even now, we are overwhelmed as we think back to their exceptional care for us. We have fallen in love with Egypt because of them.
Now is a great time to go to Egypt, because there are less of us tourists. There is great opportunity to see the wonderful historical monuments that Egypt has to offer, in a more intimate way, without contending with hoards of people. We had many magical moments where it was just us and our guides; experiences of descending into ancient monolithic pyramids alone, for example that can never be replaced in a life time.
We would highly recommend our guides and Memphis Tours, nothing was too much for them; they catered to our every need; at such a reasonable price too. I have travelled extensively, and been on many tours over the years and I can say wholeheartedly they were the best.

“Memphis Tours! 100% satisfaction guaranteed”

Egypt Sept. 24-Oct. 4 2010
I cannot praise this company highly enough. From the very first email I received from Marwa Amer I knew I was in safe hands. She was very understanding and helped with all my requirements. I am a female solo traveler but not once did I feel unsafe at any of the locations I was touring, thanks again to the staff at Memphis Tours. Every one I met who worked for the company were polite, very friendly and warm. Their professionalism shone through! I had three tours with MemphisTours. An overnight in Cairo which consisted of - 1st day El Fayoum oasis including Qaroon Lake, which is the oldest natural lake in the world. Quite spectacular, especially for those who are interested in birds. Though if you go during the summer months it is extremely hot, so take care. Hats,sunscreen and lots of water are a must ! On the 2nd day. I visited Djosers step pyramid at Sakkara and the temples of Ty and Mereuca. If you take an interest in the pharonic period and have seen the pyramids at Giza then this is where it all began. Then on to Memphis, the first ancient egyptian capital to view the wonderful alabaster statue of Ramses ll.. To round off my day, I went to Khan el Kalili the famous bazzar in Cairo. WOW! So exciting, the sounds, colours and aroma's, my senses were overloaded. I would go again tomorrow! In fact I am returning to Egypt for my third year in a row next year and of course will be using the services of Memphis Tours.. My grateful thanks go to Hassan Maghwry for the time I spent in Cario., Sakkara and Memphis. He taught me so much more than I would find in a book! Very very special thanks to Hamdi Fayez for the fun we had in Hurghada. It was as though we had been friends forever! I hope we will remain so!
Thank you Memphis Tours!

Would advise anyone visiting Egypt to use Memphis Tours. Great communication, adaptable programmes to suit your needs, helpful, private tour and good value. Don't bother looking elsewhere when Memphis can take the hassle out of the organising of tours.
