Additional Information

Your Egypt Tailor Made tour guide will meet you at your hotel and escort you to the Giza Plateau. There, you will marvel at the majesty of the 3 Pyramids of Kings Cheops, Chephren, and Menkaure, vehemently watched over by the stone-carved Sphinx. The Premeditated Pyramid of King Cheops holds its ground to this day, standing as the only member of the seven wonders of the old world, despite being 2,000 years senior to the other wonders.

Next, you will journey to the Saqqara Complex, a monument to King Zoser and his innovative step pyramid - the first of its kind in Egypt and the first stone-cut structure in recorded history.

Your voyage of discovery continues at ‘Memphis’ – an age-old Egyptian Capital up until around 2,200 BC, a significant place of worship for God Ptah, the deity of creation and artistic craftsmanship. A myriad of temples and monuments decorate the city in honor of him.

Following this educational journey, you will be escorted back to your hotel.

Our best and most enjoyable trip in Cairo - 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 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!

Great. Amazing. Highly recommended. - I lived in Egypt from 2011 to 2013. I know how chaotic it can get sometimes. I was bringing my family this time and I wanted everything to go smoothly. I did a lot of search online and saw many positive reviews about Egypt Tailor Made. Of course, you can't take everything on the internet at face valve but I gave it a go, and they were great. The mini bus was roomy and clean. And the guides were great. We arranged a private tour visiting Aswan, Luxor and Cairo. Mr Soliman was great in Aswan & Luxor and Ms Heba was amazing in Cairo. I couldn't have asked better guides. They were on point, accommodating, friendly and paid attention to detail. We had a great time. Thank you very much.

Saqqara, Giza and the GEM. - Sabry was an amazing tour guide! He provided great information about each of the places we visited and connected with our teens and made the day enjoyable for all of us. Egypt Tailor Made was very easy to work with, answered all questions promptly and communicated well leading up to our tour.

Amazing Guide Sabry and fabulous company to deal with. - We contacted Walid to set up our tours in Egypt months ago after seeing the great reviews on line. He was always prompt in replying and suggesting our tour options. He set up our tours around our prebooked travel schedule for Cairo, Luxor and Aswan. We just completed our three day tour of Cairo. Our guide, Sabry, was amazing. He is a very friendly individual and his English his perfect . His knowledge of the ancient sites was outstanding. He is an Egyptologist and has a masters degree in reading hieroglyphics. He knew I was very interested in getting more than the basics in the ancient sites. Went out of his way to explain things in great detail. I always joked with him that he is a walking book! We also had a driver with us Shaban. Lovely gentleman. Great driver, very calm and relaxed even with the crazy Cairo traffic. He would be there after every site (Sabry would call him) and we would be whisked away to the next site in an air conditioned SUV. The tour company were always in touch with us updating us on pick up times, etc. If we could give Egypt Tailor Made Tours and our guide Sabry a six star we would! Very happy.

Efficient Tour Company for Multiple Tours - We took 6 tours with Tailor Made while we were in Egypt plus 4 rides to and from airports. Our tours in Cairo were with Sabry. The first tour was to the Pyramids, Saqqara and Memphis. The following day we visited the Egyptian Museum and Cairo Tower. Sabry is a great guide, certainly one of the best we’ve experienced in any country and quite possibly the best. His knowledge of ancient Egyptian history, culture, religion and society is unrivalled as was his enthusiasm and love for his subject. Saqqara wasn’t high up on our list of sights in Egypt but with Sabry as a guide it proved to be one of the highlights. He also had other attributes such as being a good photographer with knowledge of the intricacies of iPhones which my wife used to take photos of our tours. Sabry even arranged for my wife to recharge her phone in the car after she had depleted the battery trying to capture the magnificence of the Pyramids. In addition to Sabry, both drivers were good and safely negotiated Cairo’s chaotic traffic. Our guide in Aswan, Abu Simbel and Luxor was Emile. Emile had a very different personality to Sabry but was very good at guiding us around sights and making sure we got to the most interesting areas before the big tour groups. Subsequently we have photos of some of the highlights without other visitors showing, making it look as though we were there on our own rather than at a crowded tourist site. Emile was also a very caring person and was very solicitous when my wife injured her ankle in Luxor after our tours had finished. Again, the drivers employed by Tailor Made were excellent and safely negotiated the long journeys to Abu Simbel and back, and our transfer from Aswan to Luxor via Kom Ombo and Edfu. I would definitely recommend Tailor Made. I was a bit concerned initially when they informed me that information about guides and drivers would be sent via WhatsApp just a day or two before our tours but it worked well and the company, overseen by the owner Walid Fathy, are efficient and all our tours went smoothly. We would definitely use Tailor Made if we returned to Egypt.

Magical trip at Egypt - Our dedicated guide, Sabry, is professional and attentive to our needs. He is fluent and is highly capable of articulating in English the deep and enriching history of the places of interest. We also did an excursion to the White Desert with Sabry. Together with Qazafi (driver), Sabry coordinated well with the Bedouin guide for the excursion, and we had a memorable experience camping at the desert. We highly recommend Sabry and Qazafi for tours in Egypt.
