Amazing amazing amazing - Amazing experience. Firstly our driver Mohammed was prompt at the time to pick us up. Although his English wasn’t great we didn’t really mind as we were only going from A to B and plus it was early hours of morning. On the way from Hurghada to Cairo there are several stops along the way as you all travel in a big convoy. This must be for security reasons. We left out hotel at 1.15am and with all the breaks and stops we arrived in Cairo at 8am.
Our guide Ali was there to meet us. Ali spoke really good English which we really appreciated. The tour itself was amazing. Ali knows his stuff as he is an official Egyptologist. Ali explained all about the lower, middle and higher kingdoms and took us on a journey through them with the locations, mummification and art. I would highly recommended this tour operator as was first class. Going back was easier as you can leave at any time with no convoy. Lunch and admission fees were also included.

Exciting day in Cairo! - We had an impressive, albeit long day in Cairo! Our guide spoke fluent German and also had illustrative material with him with pictures if he told us something about the formation of the pyramids. The pace was adjusted to our wishes and the guide never seemed annoyed when we stopped longer. On the contrary, he proved to be a good photographer for us and warned us about the scams on the ground. Our driver Asad was there on time at the pick-up points and even brought us back to the hotel an hour earlier than planned. The travel agency can't help the annoying convoy and security checks on the way out. We had made contact via WhatsApp and there was always someone friendly available. If we come to Egypt again we will book again through Memnon!

Pivat trip to Cairo for late risers 🤩 - We were in Cairo for a day yesterday. Our guide was Jacob. He's a great person! He has an incredibly great knowledge and has taken us deep into the ancient Egyptian world, especially in the GEM. We had a perfect day. Jakob took us on the paths outside the tourist streams and adjusted very responsively to us. Totally crazy what you can experience in one day in Cairo when everything flows so perfectly into each other.
Achmet was our driver. We felt very safe in this chaotic city traffic with Achmet and he picked us up again super reliable and just in time at every spot.

Great Excursion! - We went to Cairo for my partner's birthday with Memnon Reisen. It was our first time in Egypt and then it is always a bit exciting where exactly you booked an excursion. Almost immediately I had a nice feeling about this. The communication with Mahmoud via both mail and by whatsapp was mega fast and super friendly. We were picked up in the night at our Resort here our driver was right on time. Mahmoud drove us from location to location all day, also my respect as the excursion lasted almost 19 hours in total. Even when I wasn’t feeling so good in the car Mahmoud tried to help in every way.
Once we arrived in Cairo we got the sweetest but also the very best guide Honey. It has surprised me how much knowledge and love this man has about/for Egypt.
He spoke super English and gave a lot of information I had never heard before. The pyramids and the museum were fantastic. The lunch was very tasty and very special for us as Honey had made sure my partner's birthday was not forgotten. We really had a very nice but especially beautiful day. If you have the chance to take some more time in your holiday, take the 2 day excursion with a flight. That really gives you more peace and time to see everything. It's a really long day but it's once in a lifetime!

A very nice day with a French guide - We were 3, as a family and took the private tour. A minivan only for us. 2 drivers. Perfect trip. An Egyptologist guide just for us for our guided tours in French of the pyramids, the Sphinx and the museum. Great! Very good explanations. A lunch break in a typical restaurant excellent 👍. We loved the day. Everything went as we asked. Nothing more has been imposed on us. Return to the hotel at 8pm without any worries. No need to. Yeah, good!

Top agency in the top class with 5+ stars! - My family (4 adults) made the day trip to Cairo. From the first request via WhatsApp to the reliable contact with Osman, punctual pick-up in a private, modern mini-bus exclusively for us, the two super nice drivers Karam and Shoanah as well as our guide Adel in Cairo, who explained everything to us in perfect German, we felt safe and well looked after at all times. The short trip to Cairo was the highlight of our trip and we owe it to the fantastic team of Memnon. The price is absolutely fair and cheaper than other providers (you like to give another drink). Very patient (no time pressure), flexible and helpful in all situations. We gladly recommend this provider, as it has earned our trust in all aspects: 5+ stars! We will book again next time with you:-)

Again and again - Mega Ausflug😄
We were on a private tour with Shauki and Ali to El Gouna. We learned a lot about the country and its people.
But what we need to emphasize is Shauki. We had a lot of fun with him and laughed a lot. He's super likable and a fragrant guy.
Also Ali as a driver was very accommodating and polite.
We can recommend this organizer 100%

An unforgettable day at the pyramids - We booked the day trip to Cairo to the pyramids.
We were picked up at 1:15 am at the hotel by two drivers in a cozy and pleasantly air-conditioned minibus. The drivers were very nice and took us relaxed and safe to the destinations (pleasant without music). Toilet stops were also possible at any time.
In Giza we were welcomed by our guide. He was also totally nice, speaks excellent German and was able to convey his great knowledge in a very understandable way. We also learned a lot about Cairo and Egyptian life from him.
The pyramids and the Egyptian Museum were a real highlight and very impressive. There was also plenty of time for great photos:)
We were able to enjoy lunch in a typical Egyptian restaurant where we were warmly welcomed. It was a great experience and very delicious.
We were completely satisfied with this wonderful and unforgettable day. Thanks to Memnon Reisen and Osman for the great organization.

perfect day - Exceptional day!
Easy booking via WHATSAPP, with a correspondent answering in French. A deposit was sent by paypal and we then paid the rest directly to the driver who picked us up from the hotel.
We chose the day in Cairo from Hurghada, by plane, with guide and private transport (we were 5 adults).
The guide was great, his explanations very interesting.
Unfolded today:
Morning departure 4am from the hotel (we were 30min from the airport), then flight at 6am and arrival in CAIRO at 7am. The guide was waiting for us when we arrived.
We went straight to the Pyramids, which helped avoid the crowds.
Then we stopped at a papyrus factory, perfumes and had lunch in a restaurant. Too bad that lunch drinks are not included in the price (but it's okay, 2€ a soft drink, 1€ a small bottle of water).
Then head to the Cairo Museum.
We had to go to a souk but preferred to go to a typical mall to buy spices.
Return to airport at 6pm, flight at 8:50pm.
Superb day, friendly driver, perfect guide.
Thank you, I highly recommend Memnon Voyage.
I'll definitely go through them again.
