Epic Egypt - Had such a wonderful time in Egypt. Very impressed by the place and will most definitely be going back. The tour company played a large part in making the experience. Special thanks to our tour guides Heba and Rhnia.

Amazing day in Cairo - We booked a one day Cairo trip with Egypt tailor made. Our guide was Mr. Sabry. We're a family of 4 with 2 twins that are 7 years old. There are two things I am sorry about: not staying longer and not being able to give more than 5 stars. The whole booking process, arrival assistance, coordination was perfect and Mr. Sabry is very knowledgeable, very kind and and a great photographer (he knows all the tricks to get great shots). He not only explained us a lot about history of Egypt, but also taught us a lot on the local culture. Something that we loved was the planning and adaptability. While we had a full plan for the day established in advance, Mr. Sabry was able to squeeze in a few extra requests and help us find a place to eat that our children liked. We would absolutely recommend Egypt tailor made and Mr. Sabry if you're going to Egypt.

Amazing Cairo experience - Our tours of the Pyramids and of ancient Cairo were led by our indefatigable guide Bassam over two days. His exhaustive knowledge of Egyptian history made both visits fascinating and always interesting. Bassam was also very attentive to the needs of the group, patient and always good humoured. The tour was very well organised from start to finish. Thumbs up to our driver too who was very skilled through Cairo traffic! Thank you to everyone at ETM.

Book this tour group they are the best! Professional and knowledgeable - can’t beat that. - The tour was better than we expected and this was entirely due to our guide Sabry! He was so knowledgeable and his positive energy was infectious. He truly made the tour of Giza an experience we will never forget. We started in Saqqara then Ramses museum and ended at the Pyramids. A few other extras throughout the day too and a delicious lunch all said and done. We learned so much and credit this all to Sabry. What a memorable experience.

An incredible tour from Heba! - My wife and I had an incredible time in Cairo because of our AMAZING guide, Heba. We booked a two-day, private tour and we were able to see so many sites in Cairo! Heba was extremely knowledgeable and fun to learn from; we also loved learning all about Cairo as a modern city! We’re so glad we picked Egypt Tailor Made Tours, and I recommend asking for Heba!

Loved my first time so much I brought my family back - I cannot say enough good things about my time with Heba! I went in January of 2023 and enjoyed the experience so much I brought my family back for another visit. Heba is a great ambassador for Egypt with an amazing ability to convey information that succinctly proves how amazing the key attractions are. She’s flexible and can make the magic happen on short notice when you want to change the itinerary. In addition to trusting her with my family I have also recommended her and the company to many of my friends who have had equally amazing experiences. Book and ask for Heba. You’ll enjoy Egypt even more this way!

Excellent guide for our 2 days in Cairo - We had an excellent 2 day tour in Cairo, one day at the start of our trip and a second at the end of the week in Egypt. Sabry was our guide. He was fantastic and one of the best guides we have ever had. We are a family of 5 and he was brilliant with all our 3 children. He made the tours interesting and engaging and kept the children entertained. We would definitely recommend him to friends and family travelling to Cairo. The tour was well organised, the vehicle was very clean and we felt very safe with the guide and driver.

Lovely day trip around Cairo - We had a lovely tour of the pyramids, Sphinx and Saqqara with our guide Manar and driver Sheriff. Manar was very good with her explanations and ensured we had enough time at each place. Would highly recommend this trip.
