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.

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.

Outstanding tour with an exceptional guide! - We had an amazing tour with our guide, Mr. Sabry. During our trip to Egypt, we had three different guides in total, but Sabry was truly on another level.
The tour was exactly as described and incredibly interesting. We adjusted the itinerary a bit to avoid the crowds, which worked out perfectly. Mr. Sabry is extremely knowledgeable and helped us make fascinating connections with the sites we had visited on previous days.
Since it was a private tour, we had the car all to ourselves. Our driver, Shaban, was very friendly and always on time.
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended!

Great tour to Saqqara - A day trip to Saqqara and Memphis with Manar as my guide was a great experience. Manar was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and answered any questions. The company is well organised and communicates extremely well about the schedule and itinerary etc .

Wonderful tour of Giza and Saqqara - My experience with this agency was excellent. From airport pickup to hotel pickup, everything went smoothly. My guide, Othman was knowledgeable and looked out for me at every turn, making sure I didn't get ripped off or scammed. His knowledge and love for Egyptian history and culture made the tour the best I have ever taken. The driver Mustafa was also excellent, kind and a complete professional at all times. They both went out of their way to make the trip unforgettable. I cannot recommend this company enough!

A fantastic tour! - We had a fantastic time with our guide Heba visting the pyramids of Giza, Memphis and Saqqara. Sharing her wealth of knowledge and ensuring that we beat the crowds to the Giza pyramids, we got everything we could possible have wished for and more in this tour.
We can't recommend Heba and Egypt Tailor Made Tours enough, especially as they got this arranged for us with less than a day's notice!

Great days in Cairo - We spent a wonderful day with Heba visiting these fascinating sites. Heba was not only very knowledgeable, but also friendly and considerate. Her tour was perfectly paced and we had time to fully appreciate the experience without pressure and with flexibility to follow our own interests. She is also a great photographer!
Driver Mustafa was also top notch.
We so enjoyed our day we arranged a second tour with Heba, this time exploring Coptic and Islamic Cairo. Once again Heba was able to reveal the history and meaning of these historic and cultural sites for us. Thoroughly recommend.

Best tour I ever made! - 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

You ask and they will get it done. So easy! - Our guide Sabry was excellent, he has great communication skills and is so thoughtful and friendly. We learnt such a lot from him about the ancient histories of Egypt and current events. It was our great pleasure in getting to know him. Our brilliant driver Mustafa was always on time and took very good care of us. We definitely recommend Tailor Made Tours.

A great introduction into Egypt’s rich history - Our private tour was organized by Egypt Tailor Made and we had the great opportunity to have Mrs Hend as our guide. The whole trip was very well organized. A few days before, you are invited to a WhatsApp group so that you can already communicate in advance. Mrs Hend was extremely knowledgeable and was able to explain a lot about the history in easy to understand ways. She is also very kind and friendly, and it was a pleasure to have spent a day with her exploring Giza, Saqqara and Memphis. Our driver was also great - a great driver and also very friendly. Overall can definitely recommend this trip.

Top class tour to Giza, Memphis and Saqqara with Heba ⭐️ - We had an absolutely wonderful visit to the Giza and Saqqara Pyramids yesterday as well as Memphis, the ancient Egyptian capital.
Seeing these ancient wonders of the world was truly awe-inspiring, and just when we thought we had seen it all, there was another surprise of the ancient Egyptians’ skills and ingenuity waiting for us.
Our tour guide was Heba and our driver was Me Shabbat, both of whom were friendly and approachable. They gave us time and space at every sight and we never felt rushed.
Heba was a great tour guide: warm, funny and very knowledgeable. Heba gauged our particular interests quickly and adapted her explanations accordingly. This showed her professionalism, longstanding experience as a guide and also her passion for her work.
I was slightly hesitant about a private tour and that it may be awkward at times, but not so with Heba: we had such fun with her and she made us feel super-comfortable.
Mr Shabbat drove us safely through the chaos of Cairo traffic.
I can only recommend Heba and Egypt Tailor-Made tours to anyone.

Great experience with a small caveat - 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.
