Me and my friend had Sultan as our tour guide from Aswan to Luxor on the Nile cruise. Sultan gave us the option to decide how informative we wanted the 4 day tour to be so he tailored the experience to suit us. He has a PhD so has an exceptional level of knowledge which was clear, he was also very engaging so made this experience easy to enjoy and leave feeling that we had learned a lot. All round great guy and easy to get along with! He took us to some of the best places and gave us good advice throughout helping us to decide which other tours to do and where to eat etc. He took great care in ensuring we were happy and safe. He is clearly well respected amongst other tour guides and the industry. The tour included all of the classic places you want to see e.g the temples, tombs, valley of the kings etc. Also included some more niche experiences like visiting the spice market and a place where we tested and experienced perfume/essential oils. We went to see the Nubian village as well which I would recommend. Would 1000% recommend Memphis Tours but especially Sultan who made our experience seamless and unforgettable. Thanks Sultan!

We did the Nile cruise between Aswan and Luxor. The tour was lovely with lots of interesting temple visits included in the tour. We added the optional extra of the Nubian village, which we would definitely recommend. Our tour guide Sultan was fantastic, he was very knowledgeable and took great care of us during our trip!

Our trip to Egypt with Mamphis Tours was absolutely unforgettable, thanks to the impeccable planning and guidance of our amazing tour guide, Sayed Selim. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, and Sayed’s knowledge and passion for Egypt’s history truly brought the experience to life. The Nile cruise was a highlight of our trip, offering breathtaking views and a relaxing way to explore the region. We visited incredible sites in Luxor and Aswan, each more stunning than the last. Stops in Kom Ombo and Edfu allowed us to immerse ourselves in the beauty of ancient temples, and the balloon ride over Luxor was simply magical—watching the sun rise over the Valley of the Kings is a memory we’ll treasure forever. Sayed was not just a guide but a storyteller, making every site we visited come alive with fascinating details and insights. He went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable, informed, and thoroughly enjoying ourselves. If you’re planning a trip to Egypt, I highly recommend Mamphis Tours and especially Sayed Selim. This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that exceeded all our expectations!

In December 2024, we had the privilege of visiting Egypt, and it was an unforgettable experience! We chose a Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor, with stops in Kom Ombo and Edfu – and it turned out to be the perfect decision. One of the absolute highlights was the breathtaking hot air balloon ride over the Valley of the Kings at sunrise. The view of the vast landscape, ancient monuments, and the Nile from above was simply magical. A moment we will cherish forever! Our tour guide, Sayed Salim, was a true professional and made our trip even more extraordinary. His impressive knowledge of Egyptian history, culture, and mythology was matched only by his passion and humor. Whether we were exploring the temples of Kom Ombo and Edfu or the remarkable sights in Luxor, he ensured that we enjoyed every moment and always felt well taken care of. We highly recommend this journey to anyone wanting to explore Egypt. A big thank you to Sayed Salim and the entire team for this wonderful experience. It’s a trip we will remember forever!

During our trip to Aswan, Abu Simbel, and Luxor, we felt like we traveled back in time 5000 years as we explored some of the best-preserved temples and tombs. The sight of these architectural wonders, with their towering pharaoh statues, intricate wall inscriptions, and vivid paintings, was absolutely breathtaking—every location was a visual marvel. Our experience was further enriched by our tour guide, Ebrahim Heshmat, whose expertise as an Egyptologist and his passion as a guide made great company. Ebrahim’s deep knowledge brought the temples to life, as he explained the hieroglyphics, the stories of kings, gods, and rituals, and recommended the must-see tombs in the Valley of the Kings. Thanks to him, we received an immersive crash course in Egyptian history, all while enjoying his humor and engaging company. I can confidently say that Memphis provided us with the finest guides, elevating our Egyptian adventure to the max.

The boat was magical; the views, the crew, the food, and fellow travelers. Egyptologist onboard was Azab Morssy who is an excellent guide, we learned so much from him, and best of all, he welcomed us as family.

We took the Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan. Beautiful and super organized tour. Our Egyptologist guide Ashraf spoke perfect Italian and accompanied us on every visit and excursion, it was really nice to listen to him and see him interpret the hieroglyphs. It was an immersive experience with him.

Madonna Sherif has helped me to organize a beautiful itinerary for our trip to Egypt, trough Pyramides, Museums, Cruise and Red Sea with amazing patience, dedication and attention to details, I highly reccomend her

Mo Salah (guide) and Hussein (driver) were wonderful! We spent two days together seeing the sites and they really helped us when my son experienced some stomach issues. Very attentive and flexible in terms of making changes as needed to the itinerary. The pyramids and camel rides were iconic. A memorable experience and kind service.

This 10 day trip of Egypt inclusive of Giza pyramids, Cairo Museum, Luxor, Abu Symbel, Nile cruise, Alexandria was organized extremely well. The entire tour staff were very responsive to our needs and care-abouts. Even when EgyptAir cancelled our flight to Aswan (less than 12 hrs before the schedule) ... the entire staff commendably worked to find alternate conveyance. This resulted in almost no disruption of our tour. Shout out to everybody right from our first contact (Ahmed), our immigration assistant (Nasser) and our guides at every location (Sayeed, Yasser, Hani) ... everyone worked to make our Egypt trip memorable.

historically incredible place, the guide taught us a lot, was great company and took beautiful photos, the transfer was very efficient, helped us with transportation and with the visa

Dahabiya cruise from Luxor to Aswan was fabulous; smooth sailing up the Nile. Great food and service, terrific fellow travelers, informed and friendly guide. Azad Morssy is the best guide we have had in Egypt; he held the whole thing together without a flaw.

We took the dahabiya cruise on the Nuut, from Luxor to Aswan. Azab Morssy was our guide and I can’t think of anything I would change. The pace was leisurely; the visits to temples and tombs were great - enhanced by Azab’s really thorough knowledge and enthusiasm; the crew was so kind and accommodating. Azab really held the whole thing together like a master conductor; he kept track of every detail, let the group happily together and he is such a great guide. We added on the trip to Abu Simbal, which was truly worthwhile. Mustafa was our fun, knowledgeable, and totally organized guide for that day. Memphis Tours seems to be the tour organizer for Egypt- their guides are the magic sauce.

We had the great pleasure of having Sayed Selim as our guide during our Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor, and he made the experience truly memorable. His knowledge of Egypt’s history and culture was impressive, and he had a great way of explaining everything in a clear, and very fun, way. Sayed's warm and friendly personality made the trip even more enjoyable. He was always positive, approachable, and had a great sense of humor that kept things light and fun. Overall, Sayed made our journey more enjoyable and informative, and we highly recommend him for anyone visiting Egypt.

I would say Memphis tours are a starting point if you’re organising from abroad and don’t want to do that much research yourself as a one stop shop… I’m used to organising my own travel over many years but as Christmas /NY is a busy time and it was fairly last minute to arrange we booked a Nile Dahabiya cruise which had a guide for the archaeological sites. The food on the dahabiya was excellent and varied and we enjoyed that part of it. The one issue we had (which for us was quite significant for NYE) is that there’s no opportunity to buy wine or beer and that should have been stated. The bigger boats do serve alcohol. The only place really is to buy from your hotel before the cruise or further in advance buy duty free UK side on your outbound. trip … it’s a bit strange not to toast the NY. Also being really interested in the history as it’s a huge subject we really were expecting a guide with extensive knowledge to tap into. We’d previously been to Cairo and had excellent guides and organised another guide ourselves in Luxor. Memphis tours employs freelance guides so this means this can vary. Our guide on our cruise was a pleasant man but had a way of speaking that meant he spoke with many repeated slow phrases but never imparted the information and asking questions just went back into the same loop. He also seemed to have no idea of timings and what was practical - we were a small group a family of 5 we didn’t know and us a couple ( so not a large party to be organised ). We ended up doing our own research which was disappointing as we really wanted to be on site in the place and be really engaged. This was a big downside to our experience. He also caused a problem as I mentioned to him about what he thought as a local was reasonable for a small tip (which seems to be expected everywhere) and he decided to speak to that person in such a way we were put in a very awkward situation which wasn’t pleasant leaving us to deal with it and smooth things over. We were offered a number of additional tours during the rest of our time but we felt that we were being taken advantage of with prices being sometimes twice that of guides you can engage easily with transport when you are there or elsewhere on the Internet. They added on one site to the itinerary which was approximately an hour / hour and a half and wanted 30 dollars each so 210 dollars for our group. We’d previously had an extensive 5 hours personal tour for two people with transport with an Egyptologist and driver for 80 dollars - so this is the comparison. Yes they provide a service which should be a comfort to anyone who is not used to organising travel or those nervous about what they will encounter in Egypt but in some aspects they didn’t hit the mark in comparison to other experiences and definitely on price.
