Tour of Luxor and the Valley of the Kings
Louisa, 10/29/13
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.

Excellent experience

We contracted a tour with Memphis Tour on Easter. We went to the impressive city of Luxor and our guide was Mohamed. We had such a good time during the tour and the guide was very professional and friendly. I would choose this tour company again anytime anywhere.

Superb Memphis Tours Egypt, Luxor
richy, 6/11/12
Excellent Tour with guide Sayed Selim, driver Maged and Yahia. Everyone at Memphis Tours Egypt are so friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I flew to Luxor from Cairo, was met at the airport and spent the day visiting the Valley of The kings, Hatshepsut Temple and the Temple at Karnak with my guide Sayed Selim. His knowledge of ancient Egypt is second to none. It was an amazing experience from the time I landed at Luxor airport, the visit to the tombs, the Karnak Temple and lunch at the King Tut restaurant. I would thoroughly recommend this company when planning any kind of tour in Egypt and if you get any of the people mentioned above you will not be disappointed. Do not hesitate to use them, they are superb.
An A for effort and communication
lbreuter, 2/14/12
We very much enjoyed our Memphis tours experience to Luxor. We appreciated the effort that you put into making the trip work for us. It was a last minute trip with 11 people involved and you did not hesitate to make it happen for us practically overnight. Thanks for your communication at every step of the way.
Egypt - enjoyed every moment, thanks to Memphis Tours
Tamara D, 2/11/12
Memphis Tour Company was recommended to me by a friend who recently travelled to Egypt. I found their staff members to be very gracious and their service throughout my trip excellent. All I had to do was enjoy the customized excursions they planned for me based on what I wanted to do. The most enjoyable part for me was being shown the Wonders of Egypt by Egyptians who are very proud of their country!
Fabuious Holidays

Memphis Tours are Fabulous
juditheileen, 2/4/12
This company could not have been nicer nor more accommodating and flexible. Our plans changed many times, adding to itinerary, adding another person, canceling a person, and after all that, needing to change the itinerary again once we were in Egypt. They were gracious, knowledgeable, and we felt very safe and well cared for. Accommodations and tours were all as advertised. A great experience!

Our travel consultant ( Fattoush Saad) planned all our travels within Egypt and she did it in a very organized and concise manner. We were booking a Christmas holiday late and she make us her top priority . She was a great help to us and answered all questions to the best of her ability ! She even got us bumped up to a luxury hotel while in Cairo !
We had two tour guides that were courteous, punctual and knowledgeable and made our visit to Egypt memorable. Their names were Shaimaa Baheeg in Luxor /Valley of the Kings and Ahmad El Sayed in Cairo for the pyramids/city tour/ saquarra.

Shaimmaa Baheeg - great tour guide
Verity T, 1/21/12
My boyfriend and I went to Egypt and booked a couple of tours with Memphis Tours - One of the temples of Luxor and Karnak, the other the Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut's Tomb. Our guide was Shaimaa Baheeg, who was fantastic and made our trips really enjoyable. She was very friendly and welcoming, as well as being knowledgeable about everything we saw. She was happy to fit the trips around what we wanted to see and do, and made good recommendations for food and other trips we might like to do while we were in Luxor. Thanks, Shaimaa!
Great, informative tour for the money
LovetoTravel_1981, 3/14/11
My brother and I traveled to Cairo and booked tours of the Egyptian museum, pyramids, sphix, Khan El-Khalili bazaar as well as a tour of Luxor the next day (we booked a flight to Luxor separately). In Luxor, we saw the Valley of the Kings, Queen Hatshepsut temple, Karnak Temple and the Luxor Temple. The tour company and guides were very informative. They picked us up on time, the private air-conditioned car and guide were amazing to have and very worth it. We even finished the tour in Luxor and they let us got to a hotel and wait for our flight and did not charge us extra! They do take you to a few stores between stops that appear to be somewhat promotional to the local vendor however, I thought seeing papyrus being made and seeing the alabaster vases being made was informative and interesting. You do not have to buy anything and can make the stop as long or short as you want. I’m not entirely sure if they’d have a problem if you did not wish to stop in general, but it did not seem like it would be. I did a lot of research and most of the tours do the same thing. I would certainly recommend booking with Memphis Tours. If you have a custom tour in mind give them a call and they work with you on the details and price. I really do not think you'll save on money or time booking through a hotel or trying to wing it with a cab once you arrive.
“Day trip in Luxor - East & West bank tour”
joytotravel1, 6/24/10
I have just returned from a week long trip to Luxor in Egypt, I came across memphis tours when I was doing some research about the sites in the area. The website alone was impressive enough to pursuade me to book with this company, they have a live chat feature which allows you to ask any questions about the trip or to ask for any advice you need prior to visiting Egypt. The staff I dealt with through the website were very professional and extremly helpful. I booked a trip for two people to visit -
The valley of the kings, the temple of Queen Hatshepsut, the colossi pf Memnon, Karnak temple and Luxor temple.
The tour group itself only consited of me, my partner and our tour guide Shaimaa Baheeg. Some tour groups which we seen walking around some of the sites included over at least 30 people, which I assume were people who had booked the trip through their rep once they arrived, and everyone went on the same day. I would highly recommend booking through Memphis tours due to the excellent value for money that you do recieve! Our tour guide was very hospitable and knowledgable and so helpful when we asked questions.
I could not fault anything concerning the trip that we had booked, we paid the deposit over the internet and then the rest in Sterling once the trip was over. You have the option to pay in your home currency or Egyptian. You will not be dissapointed if you book a trip with Memphis tours and I can not praise the staff highly enough who work for the company.

Luxor and Memphistours
aydoganozdemir, 4/20/10
I had some questions and doubts in my mind before the arrival of Memphistour representative to our Hotel. It was a special tour to our group during our stay for a technical meeting in Luxor. I planned it due to the suggetions and informations of Mustafa Ahmed. Everything was magnificant for us. That is why I need to express best wishes to Mustafa Ahmed for his valuable pre-tour explenations and to tour guide Shaima for her helps during the trips. Finally special thanks to Ahmed, young boy helping the guide, for his close interest to our needs.
