Memphis Tours Making Our Dream Come True

Ednei A. , 1/17/23

We had a very special service by Memphis Tours, as well as with its guides, our tireless concierges were all extremely professionally competent and with great empathy. The hotels, and the transfer vehicles were always very clean and organized, exceeded expectations every day, not missing anything, not even water. We know that on any trip there are some setbacks, flight delays, a hotel room that doesn't suit us, or a problem at the reception, however, when they occurred, the Memphis team quickly resolved them.

Thank you Memphis Tours

Karen , 1/17/23

Thank you Memphis Tours for taking care of us on this amazing journey!

10th marriage anniversary in Egypt

Sarah , 1/17/23

We decided to celebrate our 10th marriage anniversary in Egypt. We contacted Memphis Tours and they made our anniversary truly magical! They went above and beyond! We definitely recommend this agency if you are looking to have a special trip or a celebration.

Savanah Davies , 1/15/23

Me and my husband chose the 10 days “Taste of Egypt and Jordan” tour for our anniversary. We had so much fun the whole time there. The guides and drivers were always on time and they were very considerate. Cairo at night is exceptional. We went to the pyramids in Giza, We were astonished by how great they are. Cruising the Nile was definitely something I’d like to redo once again. Time in Jordan was as great as the time spent in Cairo. Petra is Breathtaking. There were a few Americans there as well. The food in both countries is delicious.
Thank you for making our 3rd anniversary so good.

Wonderful Journey to Egypt

Lesley Miller , 1/15/23

My dear friend and I traveled to Egypt to fulfill our 10-year-old dreams of visiting the land of the ancients. To say our 10-year-old dreams were surpassed is an understatement. Our guide, Ahmed, was amazing and made our trip unforgettable!

Everything was perfect

Jake , 1/14/23

My wife and I had the chance to take the 3-day Abu Simbel to Aswan cruise aboard Prince Abbas. Everything was perfect. Professional staff - always smiling. Careful and varied cuisine.

The most incredible tour

Thomas Charles , 1/13/23

This was the most incredible tour, and it far exceeded our expectations! Definitely looking forward to traveling again with Memphis Tours!

Bella , 1/13/23

The Oberoi Zahra is definitely the best cruiser on the Nile. You would do very well to choose this beautiful cruising ship that is so well-appointed and incredibly well-maintained.

An incredible trip

Patricia , 1/12/23

Egypt is a beautiful place to tour. And there's so much wonderful history to explore. Memphis Tours has the perfect tour guides to go on that journey with. Highly recommended!

Excellent service, entertainment and food. 5 star

Riley , 1/12/23

A group of 12 of us, friends and family, spent 5 days on the boat. Despite the age of the boat which may need some update; however, it made up for its excellent service, food quality, entertainment, and the spa. We had one of the best and most intimate cruise experiences. The staff at the dining room are awesome. The chef and food are exceptional and one the best we have in all of previous cruises. Salwa at the Spa is magical and most of us visit her more than once during our trip. She took away all the ache and pain from all the walking....the best massage I ever had. 5 star. Ali, our cameraman is hilarious and full of personality. Our tour guide, Hussain, is excellent.

Ben , 1/12/23

It was a bit windy. Wish we had gone at a different time.

Christmas in Egypt

Luke Davis , 1/6/23

We had a great time over Christmas and New Year in Egypt. There's just something about the Nile and no better way to experience it than with Ahmed. Caring, knowledgeable, and very professional are the words I would use to describe him.

8 Amazing days

Patricia David , 1/6/23

I went with my sisters and we chose "Taste of Cairo and Istanbul" for our vacation. We really enjoyed the whole trip. Cairo is amazing, it was my first time there but definitely not the last one. Istanbul was my second time but it was really different and more meaningful this time with Memphis Tours.

Good service. Excellent agency.
