GIZA PIEAMIDES AND MUSEUM

Everything went perfectly, our coordinator Mustafa Rafat, was attentive to us at all times, nothing is randomly delivered. We had problems with the bags with IBERIA and Mustafa accompanied us until 3 am at the airport in order to recover our 100% grateful things. Obviously Mephis is available to tourists. At no time are you alone. The only thing to criticize is that our giza guide, asked him to buy cheap clothes (iberia delayed our luggage) and took us to a place that in theory was local and clearly was a tourist place where he took commission.

A dream perfectly realized thanks to Memphis Tours.

We did other excursions besides this one: Egyptian Museum, Ancient Cairo, Tower, Museum of Mummies, Assuan, Abu-Simbel, Cruise to Luxor. Memphis Tours was perfect, it is worth noting the efficiency and punctuality of the guides and the availability of the receptive leader. In Cairo we had a spectacular guide, Mohamed, and a helpful and gentle leader, Seif, who was always with us in the city and became a friend. In Abu-Simbel Rassan guided us with pride. From the Cruiseiro, Amro that, besides everything accompanied us for care when my husband hurt his hand, staying all the time with us. The hotels were wonderful, allowing you to relax after the tours. I recommend Memphis Tour to all those who wish to travel safely and peacefully.

Unreliable

Bad experience. Prigram not respected, long stops at the hotel to wait for the departure time, hasty and poorly cared for visits, internal flights at unreasonable times
