Egyptian Museum'' Tahrir Square'', Citadel And Old Cairo Tour

Really great experience with Aya, who was thoughtful and insightful and knowledgeable. She was incredibly pleasant company and made the experience seamless throughout. Would recommend.

The churches were very nice. Our Guide ( Ken) did a great job explaining everything. Food was delicious.

We appreciated the time we were able to spend in Cairo, visiting the pyramids, the sphinx, the museums, papyrus, rugs and so much more of old Cairo. We were very blessed to have such kind, friendly, knowledgeable guides - Amgad and Osama. Many thanks to you both for blessing our group with your time and knowledge! We also had a wonderful driver - Shiko who ensured anytime we were on the bus, we were in safe hands. Many thank you's from each of us! Sincerely, Charline and Dea along with our entire group!

The combination of Mo Salah Osama Shehata and Mohamad Sala were an unbeatable duo. They were always punctual and had a smile. Mohamad was a wealth of knowledge and very professional. I would highly recommend either of them !

This is my second trip with Memphis and the experience has been great as always. Our experience with Memphis tours and our tour guide Waled in Cairo was great . Waled was very knowledgeable, flexible and welcoming . He was very accommodating and our 3 day Cairo trip was great. Highly recommend Memphis and Waled on visiting Cairo.

You get a diverse picture of Cairo, historical, cultural, and religious with a great lunch in an historic restaurant in the Khan Al-Kalili Market/Bazaar area.

Khaled Elkomaty was a pleasure to have as a guide very knowledgeable treated us like family 10 stars out of 5

We had a wonderful experience with Memphis tour. They helped us plan our 2 week Egypt and Jordan tour . Everything went smoothly. On time . Sarah helped us planning and getting the initial itinerary. Our tour guides Ayman, Khaled and Ibrahim were all very good . Highly recommend them. Very informative, friendly and helpful. Took us to some of the best restaurants and places for shopping .

Our trip to Dubai and Egypt with Memphis tours exceeded our highest expectations. Fady Ayoub, our tour consultant, was the absolutely best. He didn't miss a beat explaining our itinerary, which helped us feel completely confident about our trip. Our drivers and tour guides in Dubai were exceptionally knowledgeable they provided an amazing and seamless experience.👏 ❤️ we were fortunate to have Ahmed as our Egyptologist. He brought ancient history to life with his deep knowledge and engaging stories, making our trip unforgettable. Nasr Maher's commitment as our tour leader in Cairo was outstanding.💯❤️ I would recommend Memphis tours to friends and family. I can't wait to plan my next adventure with Memphis Tours. They are a great team.

Excellent tour with very knowledgable guide and very safe driver. The tour was well paced and amended to fit our interests. Good value and strongly recommended.

Ayman is a warm, knowledgeable, and attentive guide who helped us discover Cairo in an authentic and engaging way. He adapted to our pace, especially with our 3-year-old son, and took us to a delicious local restaurant where we shared a lovely, friendly moment. Always willing to help, he negotiated for us at the souk and even assisted us in organizing our visit for the next day with another agency. He even offered our child a little camel soft toy as a souvenir. A wonderful encounter that I truly hope you get to experience too!

Just an outstanding experience. Memphis yours was perfect. the customer service aspects, punctuality, attention to details, great knowledge of our guide Mervat everything was exceptional. our coordinator Ahmed Fathy was outstanding. was available any time i reached out prior to the trip from USA and had planned everything meticulously, professional and exceptional. Our local point of contact in Cairo Mustafa Rafat reached out before we left, assured us that he will be waiting to receive us and was there, assisted us with the visas, travel to the hotel and all the trips from the airport and back when we went to Luxor on early morning and late night hours ..was exceptional. our Guide Mervat Kefafy was so knowledgeable, patient , gracious and kind. she made our trip memorable by going us the right amount of guidance, historical perspectives and time to explore on our own. coordinates our pictures, camel rides just an exceptional guide. Finally our driver Anwer Galal, what a great person. He was outstanding, drove so well in the city's traffic, was waiting for us right on time, always had loads of water for us, when asked for local delicacies stipe sand hot those for us was very very nice. he was incredibly gracious with the kids, attentive to their needs and was exceptional. overall these folks that were part of the team assigned to us from Memphis tours made our experience an incredible one. not only will we recommend you all to our friends and family but if we come back we absolutely we request this team. thank you.

Great tour experience with imad and Ahmed. They both have detailed in depth knowledge of egyptian and antique history so we got a lot of value from them. They were very good at organising lunch, pick up from the hotel and drop off as well as being attentive to our daily needs. We did fayoum, alexandria, Pyramids of giza and sacara so overall a very memorable experience. Not to miss out on the nile river cruise which was a highlight of beautiful cairo

We had a fascinating day in Cairo with our guide Reem Khaled. She was hugely knowledgable and endlessly patient. Good to explore more than the usual Pharoahs and gods. The day was well organised and included the added excitement of Cairo traffic and lunch. Later on our trip to Egypt we traveled with another Memphis Tours guide - Mohamed Khaled. He was equally knowledgeable and good company. Memphis Tours - organisation, guides and drivers highly recommended!

Ahmed Abo El Hassan is an is the perfect Guide for the upper Nile tours. You should san for his assistance when visiting this part of Egypt

The Tour was great and we are very happy with his service. It was good from the start when Ahmed Ramadam picked us up from the hotel with great punctuality. As my wife first language was not German, he changed quickly to english and continued the whole tour in this language. it was greatly appreciated. Additionally we will have wonderfull memories due to his talent of taking pictures. We thank Ahmed for the nice time.

Very nice trip I enjoyed every second of it. Out guide Yehia Juan El Gizawy was special and made us feel like locals. He explained everything with details and in a very good Spanish. He made the experience so much better for us so we are very grateful for him.

I really enjoyed the Tours. Special shoutouts to Mohamed Taha & Noha Nabil, great guides which look after me, ensured everything was OK, and properly explained every site and marvel. Their professionalism undoubtedly made my stay at Cairo a memorable one. Thank you both! Shokran hababis!

Based on their positive online recommendations, we contacted Memphis Tours to arrange our family vacation to Egypt over the Christmas and New Year holiday. Everything, with the exception of the hotels, which we had already reserved, was organized by them, including airport pickup domestic flights , daily tours in Luxor, Hurghada, and Cairo. They gave us comfortable and clean cars, and I must add, they don't skimp on quality. They made extra effort to look for restaurants serving veg meals for our lunch because we are all vegetarians. They have the most excellent tour guides, including Mrs. Nasrin, an Egyptologist in Cairo and have modest drivers . Despite being a fresher , our travel agent Ms. Rewan made an effort to comprehend our needs, ask questions, and even handled some small issues quite efficiently. The tour guides were pretty amiable with our two- and five-year-old children, and they made them feel comfortable. Overall, we heartily endorse them because they are skilled and knowledgeable about the needs of their clients. Egypt is breathtakingly gorgeous; it transports you back to the opulent Pharaonic era. In Luxor, we were delighted to view the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Karnak, the Valley of the Queens, and Cairo's pyramids are without a doubt the greatest man-made structure. The museum provides further cultural context. It is my belief that everyone who travels to Egypt connects with this magnificent country. We are grateful to Team Memphis for making our trip unforgettable.

Memphis tours provided my wife and I with a private hospitality guide. Mohammed met us at the airport when we landed in Cairo and was with us often on and on almost all airport transfers and hotel transfers. He was a very energetic, likable and competent professional. Excellent English, fun to talk to and is with us sometimes from 4 AM in the morning until 10 PM at night often on. He was also a constant contact as we return the rest of the Middle East if we had issues with Memphis tours kudos to a thoughtful and professional young man!! Our sales specialist was Aya, And I spoke to her several times on the phone through WhatsApp and emailed her back-and-forth as she planned our trip that involves multiple countries and coming back through Egypt three different times she is an absolute rockstar and if you work with Memphis, I hope you get to work with her!!

We had a trip from Cairo to Luxor , arranged by Memphis, special thanks to Amgd Fawzy and their Tour guide in Luxor Muhammad Eman. They both made our trip memorable. Highly recommend it

My husband and I did a two day tour of Cairo with our amazing guide Shrouk Farouk with Memphis Tours. We spent one day at the Pyramids and the Egyptian Museum with a marvelous rooftop lunch in Old Cairo at a beautiful Riad. The next day we visited Coptic Cairo, the Citadel and another fantastic restaurant looking over the city. Shrouk is so knowledgeable, kind and delightful, you would never want another guide to lead you! It was truly an amazing adventure in a very beautiful country! Gail Cocke and Mac Hruska

We visited the Pyramids, Sakara, Egyptian Museum, Civilization museum, Citadel, Hanging Church and Ben Ezra Synagogue. We thoroughly enjoyed all the sights. Both museums are fantastic. Our tour guide Ahmed Helal was fantastic. Our original itinerary did not include two museums and citadel. Thanks to Ahmed for being flexible and covering everything . He was knowledgeable and helped us focus on the key items in the museum. He also took personal interest to make sure we are comfortable. Both the drivers , Hassan and Reda were also great . We were impressed with the promptness and time maintenance of the the guide and the drivers. The only reason I have given 4 star is because the planning could have been better. I wish the tour planners offered citadel and civilization tour in the beginning. That would have helped us distribute the tours better between two days. However , note that when we expressed interest in seeing Civilization museum and Citadel, they were very accommodating. Lastly, the tour prices seem little higher.

Had an amazing time with Ahmed El Sweny and our driver Mesha. Ahmed was extremely knowledgeable about everything on ancient Egypt. Could ask for a better guide

Our trip to Egypt has been very memorable and we can’t thank Memphis Tours enough for everything they’ve done for us. Everyone we met and assisted us were so wonderful and welcoming. I was not feeling well and they were able to re arrange our trip to fit our needs. Special thanks to Ayman and Ahamed Hassan (tour guide from Luxor to Aswan) for all the assistance they gave us. Highly recommend Memphis Tours!!!

We booked a weeklong tour with MEMPHIS TOURS. we did a HALF DAY CAIRO tour with Monica as our guide. she was a lot of fun and we ate kushari, sampled pastries, stopped at a coffee/hookah bar, had a mango cold drink. did a FOUR DAY CRUISE from Luxor to Aswan on JAZ VICEROY. really nice suite on board and good food. great tours of VALLEY OF KINGS, KARNAK, LUXOR TEMPLE, TEMPLE OF HASHESPUT, EDFU, SARNAK, ASWAN DAM. great tour of Cairo -Egyptian museum. we hired our own guide when we were outside museum, Kareem, and he was great! Pyramids thru memphis along with Sphynx in Giza. it was enough without Sakara site. very solicitous and all transportation and pickups and transfers reliable and clean. just very nice experience. Hytham was our tour manager who arranged it. easy to work with and responsive.

Our trip was fabulous with great attention to detail from planning, during, to the end. Memphis Tours is thorough and easy to work with. Our coordinator Basma was super, Our two guides, both "Ahmed" were fabulous with so much history and passion to share. We always felt safe and well cared for, The beginning was busy but doable, by the time we left Cairo and hit the Nile river boat, the schedule eased up, but the sights and surroundings never disappointed. Everything was so awe inspiring. If you are toying with Egypt, I highly recommend Basma with Memphis Tours and both Ahmeds! stars!

Excellent guide (Ossama) and memorable visit to ancient Egyptian archeological sites . I would come back again

This tour was AMAZING!!!!! Ask for Mohammed because he was a very informative tour guide. We were traveling with an elderly person so he was very patient and accommodating. In the old city we stopped by one of the oldest coffee shops in the world which was so interesting. Book with this tour group and don’t look back! Will definitely do this again with Mohammed again!!!!

Excellent tour of the Egyptian Museum, Old Cairo and the Citadel with Fawzy. He gave just the right amount of info and assisted with shopping opportunities in the Khan El Khalili.

remember this during the Ramadan season day 1 our guide Ahmed was very knowledgably and very likeable person. he know the history of the places we were taken to very enjoyable day. Day 2 tour started late and we waited in the lobby hour and a half eventually we were met by Kadeer at the citadel Kadeer was a Italian/Spanish guide so english was not a strong point for him (not his fault) spent a lot of time at the citadel where he explained about Islam then moved to Cairo museum but because of Ramadan, the museum closed early and i don't think i spent enough time at the museum however, he did know the main exhibits and explained the history. lunch provided on day 1 was good, day 2 restaurant were closed due to Ramadan we had lunch at fast food restaurant. i would make sure my visit was not during the Ramadan but did enjoy the tours. thanks to Ahmed. very very tired due to all the walking and climbing the pyramid etc (not young)

Excellent tour of some of the must see places in Old Cairo. The whole team was epic from the trip manager, guide, and the driver! Would recommend this group and look forward to my return to Cairo to use them again!

Great service and friendly faces. I needed to make a slight change to my schedule and the team was able to accommodate! Driver was amazing, guide super friendly and knowledgeable!

Great experience and wonderful customer service from all staff. I had a delayed flight and had to change my tour day and time last minute and they were very accommodating and were able to make it happen with my schedule. Had an amazing time with my daughter and was overwhelmed with the beauty and history.

Ahmed Zaki was our guide and brought us to Giza, Saqqara, Egyptian museum and old Cairo. He gave us detailed explanation , historical context and he has good narrative. In the package there are as always stops to the local shops but I advice you to agree to stop just if you are interested in the product. In our case was ok but for the bargain you’ll be alone and you have to use all your skills 😁 Our driver Mahmoud was helpful and friendly. We traveled also in southern Egypt but with another guide and Ahmed was the best.

I advised that your guide must be very honest with you. Some guides take you to local shops of Art, manufacturer shops and force you to buy local products. To me that is waste of your precious time and money. Try not accept such visits or do not buy or waste your time. Buy from randomly local shop. Ask your guide the best price or bargain. Also try to clearly identify where you want to visit and include that in your trip otherwise your company will charge you more and more. I noted Cairo Top Tour were the best. They picked up from Cario airport before passport control. Help us in customs and passport control point. Dropped us airport. Their guide Abdus Salam was the best. Don’t accept any other guide. They take cash but they are trust worthy.

We hired a private tour for our family of 12, which included small children. Our pickup from Cairo airport was a chaotic and muddled experience especially since it was the peak travel season in Egypt. We were apprehensive that the next few days would be the same but thankfully our experience only got better. Our 3 day tour of Cairo was led by our guide Ahmed Helal and our driver Gehad. Supporting them was our tour manager Mohamed Fathi. The recommended restaurants for lunch at Saqqara, Old Cairo, and Sharia Al Muizz were very good. Ahmed's knowledge spans all the way from Cairo's Ancient Egypt to Modern Day history and was able to answer whatever questions we tasked him with. We are glad we took up his recommendation to visit the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization as we saw the highlights of Egyptian history plus mummies of famous rulers within a few hours. We appreciate Gehad's and Ahmed's patience with our large family and how they skillfully managed our time.

This tour was absolutely brilliant and our guide Maha has excellent. We started at the Citadel, which was amazing then on to the old city bazaar. We stopped to have coffee in the oldest coffee house in Cairo - very atmospheric. Then we went to the Coptic area visited two very old churches, the Hanging Church and the Cavern Church. We were taken for lunch at a super restaurant, the food was great but I wouldn’t recommend the stuffed pigeon (very little meat on it)!. After lunch we went to the Egyptian Museum which is jam-packed with incredible archaeological finds - the most amazing of course is the mask of Tutankhamen. It was a very full “half day” tour which started at 08:00 and finished at 15:30. Maha was excellent, very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful - it was just the two of us and we had a car and driver to ourselves.

We are a group of 6 friends on a tour of Egypt and would love to recommend and praise Memphis Tours Egypt for an excellent job on planning our Egyptian Tour . From the planning process and the implementation process of the tour , Memphis Tours was so professional and faultless. The process started almost a year ago with Miss Mai Mohamed, who was our coordinator and she helped plan our excellent tour of Egypt which included Cairo , flight to Luxor , 4 day Nile Cruise on board the lovely Ms Salacia to Aswan , Abu Simbel and then back to Cairo and Alexandria. The trip was magnificent, everything was so professionally planned from the pick-up and drop-off, Memphis Tour operators were present at every point to help us through the whole process , they would also WhatsApp me on who would pick us up and the time and also check on us if everything was okay and if we needed any help or had encountered any problems . The level of dedication shown by their staff is a testament for their love of their job and company . The drivers through out our tour drove so carefully and made sure we reached our destination safely. Our tour guide and Egyptologist were so knowledgeable and passionate and gave us great insight to ancient Egypt and their magnificent history . Special mention must be made about our tour guide Osama Othman whose dedication and passion in sharing is knowledge was outstanding. Egypt was always on our bucket list and we are so glad that we chose Memphis Tours to plan our Egypt trip . Thank you so much to all the staff of Memphis Tours for providing us an incredible enjoyable tour . SHUKRAN.

AMAZING! Azab was professional, knowledgeable, and was truly an expert guide! Highly recommended! Will defintely return and visit other historical sites!

My family and I recently went to Cairo in April 2022 during Ramadan and did the Egyptian Museum and Cairo Day trip. Our tour guide was Medo from Memphis Tours and he was an absolutely great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and you could instantly see his love for his culture and his desire to share it with us. We were traveling with our 7-year old daughter and even though it was a long day for her Medo adapted the tour to make it easier for her. The van that took us around the city was clean, had air condition (which was a must at that time of year) and all around we felt very safe. We definitely recommend Memphis Tours and Medo! I'll also add that was Ramadan and Medo was fasting he did not make us feel uncomfortable when we stopped for lunch.

It was a nice trip with a very professional guide. He thought us a lot about the history of Egyipt and about islamic and coptic cairo. He also gave us shopping advice and added a stop to the tour upon request. Highly recommended.

Phenomenal experience from start to finish. Our guide was immensely knowledgeable and helpful. The sites we saw were all fantastic on this tour and only enhanced by the knowledgeable guide provided by Memphis Tours. Hotel pick up and drop off was also immensely appreciated! Definitely feel comfortable (and more importantly excited!) to go on this tour

We spent two days doing most everything we could in Cairo and surrounding areas, and then joined a Nile cruise for the rest of the week. When we first arrived, we found ourselves needing a bit of assistance well before our tour with Memphis Tours was to begin. I contacted Adam Abdelrahman of Memphis Tours, and even though it was the weekend, days off, and we were not scheduled to join this company for two days, he promptly sent one of his colleagues and a driver to assist us. They were God-sent! Miss Reem came to our aid, helped us get settled and adjusted arrangements as needed, and continued to coordinate and follow up on every detail (even, for example, little things such as Making sure we had WiFi access at the hotel). We went on our tours hosted by the outstanding guide Abrahim. Abrahim has unending knowledge of everything, from the standard information to the little known facts and suggestions for the best photo ops! His gregarious and cheerful demeanor, and his laid back and kind-hearted personality were just what we needed. We learned so much, enjoyed fun and Lots of laughter, and truly get welcome and assisted in every way possible. Also key to our positive experience was the incredible driving skills of Mr. Faisal, who calmly navigated through the crazy traffic, kept the car cool and ready, and was so thoughtful of us. The Memphis Tours company was consistently prompt in responding to all my inquiries, had the answers to all questions about CoVid-related changes, tips for our comfort and safety, and even the much-needed supply of cold water throughout the day. The meals that come with the package are excellent samples of traditional food, generous portions, and we enjoyed each meal. I can honestly report we feel we got what we paid for and more, and we were treated with great respect, thoughtfulness and honesty. We confidently recommend and affirm Memphis Tours, specifically Abrahim, Adam, Reem and Faisal.

I had an amazing time in Egypt with Ahmed Zaki, Hany, Ehab! They made me feel so welcome an comfortable, being s woman traveling solo I felt extremely safe with them all an the were all very knowledgeable about ancient Egyptian history!! Every step of the way was a learning experience. I definitely recommend Memphis tours to all!!

Memphis tours were absolutely fantastic. We booked a trip to Egypt for 15 days with them. It was an amazing trip and they did everything they can to make our trip memorable. Starting from Marwa the tour organiser, the car driver, the tour guide or the greeter at the airport , they all were very professional and pleasant people. I would do it again in a blink.

My day was filled with none stop site seeing and my tour guide from Memphis tours was the best. I asked for a female and I had the most amming woman who also took me to wonderful Egyptian eateries. The food was wonderful too.

Went on a tour with Ahmed Farahat as our guide. I cannot say enough about how awesome he was!!!! He was extremely informative, offered to take plenty of pictures for us, and an overall fun guide to be around. My friend and I tend to wonder and take a million pics. He kept us on schedule in a polite and friendly way to ensure we saw all the sites. An overall AMAZING AND MAGICAL EXPERIENCE!!!

This review is for the new GEM museum not the original Egyptian Museum. I was in Egypt for a few weeks with another company but saw Memphis Tour company frequently. I had seen there were private behind the scenes tours of the new GEM museum in Giza that were going for $250 and even though it was very expensive I researched and had heard good reviews that people could walk around and see it while it was being built and also visit Tut's restoration and other restoration rooms which I thought was pretty cool. And since I knew my parents were older and unfortunately would not be able to return to Egypt I thought it was worth the expense. I contacted the company and the communication was responsive and the payment was easy. It worked out to $870 for the three of us. Yes, again expensive but I thought we were going to see some really cool things and get a sneak peak. We had gotten to the hotel very late from traveling from Jordan and I asked if we could have a later start. Mai told us the museum was only open from 9-2 so we only could go at 9. We were told the day before that we had to meet the guide at 830 in the lobby to discuss.I wasn't sure what to discuss but we were prompt. The greeter was a few minutes late and basically spoke about himself for 30 minutes until the car and the Egyptologist Ahmed would arrive. When he arrived we were told we got an upgraded car, it was only a 9 minute drive so that really didn' matter. We were excited but the "Egyptologist" was on his phone the whole time. Now about the "tour" we were there for a total of 40 mins. 15-20 of which we were in a small room on very used couches until we could enter. We were taken to 2 rooms for 5 mins each and no pictures which was not discussed beforehand. There were three of us but only one picture for the three of us. The group behind us had three people and they all took pics on their phone as soon as they walked in and were not scolded as we were for two pics. The Tut room was closed and we were told we could not see the items in it so we for about 30 seconds got to look through a window, maybe less. They we watched a 2 minute video and while we were watching out "egyptologist" took a video of it. He would not answer any questions while we were there. And when we asked one question he said later, later. We were total on the tour of about 20 mins We were back at the hotel completely within an hour. So for $870 there is no way I can recommend these tours. The company also had very bad customer service and said that the government cut it short. Here is the thing, Then don't let someone book the tour. We stayed an extra day just to do this and pretty much wasted the day and wasted the money on this tour hoping for a very special and unique experience. Please save your money and your time and do not book this tour or deal with this company. I will say that they after I sent an email expressing my dissatisfaction with their misleading tour they offered to pay for my dinner and my airport transfer. I already had plans and already had a car booked. So they basically offered me a $35 ride and one dinnner which maybe could be $50. So that in no way makes up for the money and time wasted with this company and their terrible service.
