A wonderful day with an expert

John_S, Feb 2026
We had a wonderful day with Mr Sabry and Mohamed the driver. His knowledge of the subject is phenomenal and he keeps up with all the most recent developments. He uses his knowledge to give such clear and informative explanations. We cannot recommend him more highly.

Perfect tour of the pyramids, the sphinx and Memphis - Very knowledgeable guide!

Manuela_F, Feb 2026
Wonderful tour with a very experienced guide across the pyramids and the sphinx, as well as Memphis. Sabry had an answer to all my questions and was incredibly kind and organized. Pick up at 7am was perfect timing to avoid the crowds. Truly amazing experience!

Excellent experience

Michael_M, Jan 2026
Mr . Haytham and driver Yusef were an excellent team. Me Haytham is very knowledgeable and was flexible with our last minute time constraints. Would definitely recommend.

Best tour I ever made!

Leonardo_C, Jul 2025
This is a once in a lifetime experience. The tour is amazing from beginning to end, Giza/Saqqara/Memphis have so many wonders to see. The guide, Hend, is the perfect guide: she has full knowledge of anything you ask about Egypt, she guided me though the rich history of the country and helped me make the best possible visit. Im very grateful for the experience

Great experience with a small caveat

CorinaMadalina_C, May 2025
Amazing experience with Tawfik, a very knowledgeable guide. The tour was very well organised and nice with a comfy car. We opted for the premium package with lunch and camel ride included. For lunch we had local food, koshari, which was very tasty. However, the camel ride was unpleasant due to a very rude camel owner who was asking for too much money, 50$ per person, and refused to accept egyptian pounds, asking for dollars and euros only. Considering that the camel ride was included, this extra money should have been the tip and we ended up paying more than 30€ as he started shouting and being aggressive, ruining the experience. Besides this we would definitely recommend booking a guided tour with Egypt tailor made tours.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback regarding your Private Tour to Giza Pyramids, Saqqara, and Memphis. We are absolutely thrilled to hear that the majority of your experience was amazing, and that Tawfik was a very knowledgeable guide, contributing to a well-organized tour with a comfortable car. It's wonderful that you enjoyed the local Koshari for lunch! However, we are sincerely sorry and deeply concerned to learn about the highly unpleasant and aggressive encounter you had with the camel owner during the camel ride. This is completely unacceptable and falls far below the standards of service we expect from our partners. Please accept our sincerest apologies that this incident ruined a part of your experience, especially when the camel ride was included in your premium package. We will be immediately investigating this matter with the vendor to ensure such an incident does not happen again. Despite this unfortunate caveat, we are grateful that you still definitely recommend booking a guided tour with Egypt Tailor Made Tours. Your feedback is invaluable, and we are committed to ensuring all aspects of our tours live up to the high expectations our guests have.

Sabry is the best guide.

What an incredible...

Veronica_G, Mar 2025
What an incredible experience with Ms. Heba and Mustafa. Ms. Heba, our tour guide, is highly knowledgeable and enthusiastic about her work. She provided the information we sought without drowning in us in so much detail as other tours have in the past. She made the tour enjoyable and took the best pictures of us at the sites ☺️ Mustafa, our driver, was also great. Safe and courteous. I highly recommend this tour, don’t delay in booking.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thank you so much for your glowing review! We’re thrilled to hear that your private tour to Giza, Saqqara, and Memphis was such an incredible experience. Heba truly has a gift for striking the perfect balance—sharing rich, meaningful insights without overwhelming guests, all while keeping the day engaging and enjoyable. And we’re so glad you appreciated her eye for photography; those moments in front of the Step Pyramid or the Sphinx are unforgettable when they’re captured just right! Mustafa’s safe, smooth, and courteous driving is always a cornerstone of a stress-free day, especially on a full itinerary across multiple historic sites. Knowing you felt comfortable and well looked after means a great deal to us. Thank you for your enthusiastic recommendation—and for encouraging others not to delay. We hope to welcome you back to explore even more of Egypt’s wonders soon!

It was good and interesting. The entry to pyramids are not included. The driver was good. Overall I would recommend it as a basic intro to pyramids.

Bejoy_K, Mar 2025
We had Mr.Sabry as our guide for this trip and it turned out to be a really wonderful experience. He is by far the best guide I have ever had. He was knowledgable in all areas, even about the farming on the side of the roads, the farmhouses, and local eateries. He understood what we were interested in and tailored the tour accordingly, arranging visits to a few hidden tombs also. You can't forget the pictures he took - really professional level! All in all, wish we had him for all of our Egypt tours. Highly recommended!!!

Great tour and guide

Jeffry_H, Feb 2025
We had a great experience and would highly recommend it. Most of it was due to our tour guide, Sabry. He was very knowledgeable, professional, and extremely patient (we traveled with 4 year old). Sabry knew best way to tour each place ensuring we would skip crowds and get the best angle for pictures. He also had a great way of explaining historical relevance of each place we visited. Everything ran very smoothly and made our first visit to Egypt a memorable day. If you can, ask for Sabry to be your guide.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

"Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you had a great experience and that you highly recommend our tour. We're especially delighted that Sabry's expertise and patience made your day so memorable, particularly when traveling with a 4-year-old. His knowledge, professionalism, and ability to tailor the tour to avoid crowds and capture the best photos are truly commendable. We understand the importance of making history engaging, and we're glad Sabry's explanations of the historical relevance of each site resonated with you. Ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience for our guests is our top priority, and we're pleased we achieved that for your first visit to Egypt. We're proud to have Sabry as part of our team, and we agree, if you have the opportunity, asking for him as your guide is an excellent choice. We hope to welcome you and your family back to Egypt for more memorable adventures in the future. We are happy you chose Egypt Tailor Made for your exploration of the Pyramids, Saqqara, and Memphis."

Our best and most enjoyable day in Cairo

Felicia_L, Apr 2024
We found this tour after a thorough search of available tours around Giza that includes tour around Memphis and Saqqara. Glad we chose this tour as this tour is probably the best thing we had since our arrival in Cairo. The tour provider sent us Ms Heba as our tour guide. She is extremely knowledgeable and her way of telling us the background stories is engaging. She also took photos of us from amazing angles. The food that we were provided were also the best food we had since our arrival in Cairo. During the trip, we got into a little conflict with our hotel as we accidentally brought our hotel keys. Ms Heba took the initiative to return our keys to the hotel as we are looking at the papyrus store. We are reaaaaaally grateful for her initiative. Overall, we really enjoyed our tour. Kudos to Ms. Heba! 10/10 would recommend this trip and tour provider to everyone!

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a memorable tour with Ms. Heba. It’s wonderful to know that her expertise, engaging storytelling, and thoughtful photography made a significant impact on your trip.

Thank you for choosing Egypt Tailor Made Tours. We look forward to the opportunity to welcome you back for more incredible experiences in the future!

Fantastic private tour of the pyramids

Keshan_A, Mar 2023
This private tour was an amazing experience and the right choice for many reasons. We were able to set the pace and focus on the attractions that we wanted to spend time on. Besides that, the guide Hend was wonderful. She is extremely well informed and articulate, taking the time to provide the story to the beautiful and majestically pyramids. The Giza pyramid are extraordinary person but the Saqqara pyramid was more rich of an experience. Thank you to the team, we thoroughly enjoyed the tour.

PYRAMIDS AND MUCH MORE

JoseTonySoto, Jun 2019
Mona is the person you want. Knowledgeable guide, kind, on time and sincere. She showed up at the hotel after a last minute change of schedule by our group. She came with smile in her face after the agency notified her before seven in the morning of our change. We started the tour at 8.00 am sharp as agreed. Nice intro to the Egyptian history and dynasties. We arrived first to Sakkara. No jams, no tourists lines, all straight forward. The driver found the best spots to disembark and pick up. This was a tour perfectly organized. No extra money, no unnecessary stops for things that we were not interested in to and the final conclusion was a wonderful feeling of satisfaction and keeping something forever in our souls. This company kept every promise, every penny and every place they said. GO WITHOUT ANY FEAR WITH THEM. Dr. Jose A. Soto, MD. USA.
