Impeccable trip with Memphis Tours and exceptional guide Our trip to Egypt organized by Memphis Tours was simply perfect. From our arrival in Cairo to the Nile cruise, every detail was handled with professionalism, punctuality, and great care. Organization in Cairo The tour in Cairo was coordinated in an excellent way: punctual transfers, clear communication, and staff always available. A special mention for Hoba, our local contact, always smiling, present, and helpful. He made every step simple and well-managed. Nile Cruise – DWA Ship The cruise on the DWA ship was equally impeccable. Drivers, contacts, onboard personnel, and ship staff demonstrated great competence and courtesy. Every city visited was organized with precision, without any unexpected issues. The atmosphere on board was pleasant and relaxing, thanks to an attentive and professional team. The guide who makes the difference: Khedr Abdelrazik The highlight of our trip was undoubtedly Khedr Abdelrazik, the guide during the cruise. An extraordinary Egyptologist and passionate storyteller, he managed to turn every visit into a vivid and engaging experience. With his expertise, sensitivity, and ability to explain history in a clear and fascinating way, he made our vacation truly unforgettable. Khedr is a guide who stays in your heart: professional, highly prepared, and capable of making you love Egypt in every detail. We highly recommend Memphis Tours for their impeccable organization and, above all, Khedr Abdelrazik for those who wish to discover Egypt with an exceptional guide.
Grazie di cuore per la vostra splendida recensione! Siamo felici che abbiate vissuto un’esperienza indimenticabile con Memphis Tours. Condivideremo con piacere le vostre gentili parole con Hoba, Khedr Abdelrazik e tutto il nostro team. La vostra soddisfazione è la nostra più grande ricompensa.

Memphis Tours far exceeded our expectations, giving us a fantastic experience in ancient Egypt that literally made us feel like the protagonists of a movie. From our arrival, the welcome from tour manager Ibrahim gave us an immediate feeling of tranquility. Ibrahim assisted us with impeccable care until our departure and at every single intermediate stage, promptly satisfying our every need. Even during the cruise on the splendid M.S. Salacia ship, everything was perfect. On board, we continued to dream thanks to a fantastic atmosphere and an incredibly welcoming and helpful staff. The safety and serenity we felt for the entire trip are the result of the work of exceptional guides: Linus, who followed us during the cruise, and Hisham, who guided us in Cairo. Both were constant presences, ready to support us at any moment and capable of conveying an immense love for this country to us. It is thanks to them that the emotions felt while visiting these extraordinary archaeological sites remain difficult to describe in words. I highly recommend anyone wishing to take a trip to Egypt to rely on Memphis Tours to experience a dream adventure in total safety and tranquility. A special thanks to Ibrahim and the entire team. Thanks again from the heart!

We were lucky enough to be welcomed in Cairo by Poula a few days before our departure for the Nile cruise. He is a sweet, kind, and always available person, capable of immediately putting you at ease. Besides being a knowledgeable guide, what we liked most was his demeanor: smiling, thoughtful, and attentive to our needs. Thank you, Poula, for making our experience in Cairo even more beautiful. We truly recommend him with pleasure! ❤️
Grazie di cuore per le vostre splendide parole! Siamo davvero felici che la gentilezza, la preparazione e il sorriso di Poula abbiano reso la vostra esperienza al Cairo così speciale e vi abbiano fatto sentire subito a vostro agio. Condivideremo sicuramente questo bellissimo complimento con lui, ne sarà felicissimo. Vi ringraziamo per averci raccomandato e speriamo di potervi accogliere di nuovo presto per una nuova avventura in Egitto!
Great experience with Memphis. The proposed activities were excellent and the service providers were professional and kind. I recommend it for a turnkey trip.
Four of us ladies had a once--in-a-lifetime tour with Memphis Tours and our incredible guide, Reem Khaled. We saw everything we wanted to see and more. Reem was so knowledgeable, kind and fun! If you have dreamed of seeing the pyramids and visiting the new Grand Egyptian Museum -- now is the time to go. We felt safe and cared for our entire trip. Wow!! I can't say enough about this tour. I've been to Egypt twice before and this trip was the BEST. Get on a plane and go to Egypt. Be sure to request Reem, as she will make your trip as special as ours was.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re truly honored to have been part of your unforgettable Egypt experience. Your kind words about Reem Khaled mean a lot to us, and we’re delighted that she helped make your journey so special. We greatly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another amazing adventure in Egypt soon! 🇪🇬✨😊
A unique experience to live at least once in a lifetime! Thanks to Safi’s excellent organization we had a wonderful tour of Cairo. Special thanks go to our guide Moaz, a person of great knowledge, kindness and goodness of mind, who accompanied us on this fascinating journey into the ancient world.
Grazie mille per le sue splendide parole! Siamo felicissimi che abbia vissuto un’esperienza così speciale al Cairo e che Safi e Moaz abbiano reso il viaggio ancora più indimenticabile. Speriamo di accoglierla nuovamente presto!

¡Muchas gracias por sus amables palabras! Nos alegra enormemente saber que tuvo una experiencia tan positiva con nosotros. ¡Esperamos recibirle nuevamente muy pronto!
Seif and Saeed were very kind throughout the whole trip and shared with us all their knowledge about Egypt. All the tours were guided in portuguese, which helped us connect even more with the places we visited. Memphis picked us up every day in the hotel and had great wifi connection inside the vehicles. They took a lot of great photos of me and my girlfriend as well. We were very pleased and will definetily recommend their services to friends and family.
