Sabry, our guide, can be described as incredibly well informed, and also a very gracious and warm person. He was extremely easy to connect with. His command of Egyptology and Egyptian history and his ability to communicate his knowledge in an enjoyable and clear way are impressive. Having traveled to many areas, and having engaged many private guides, I feel confident in saying that Sabry is the best we’ve ever worked with.

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.

We had a great day with our (female) guide Wessam, who was very knowledgeable and most important very nice and easy to be around. She recommended what do to and see, in particular in Sakkara and Memphis, where it is good to have someone recommending to you which of the many sights to visit. In Sakkara we went to a very interesting tomb, which she recommended and where no body else was visiting at the time. We often are a bit stressed or annoyed when a guide talks too much and she was just perfect, knowing how much we could take and when we had enough. We highly recommend her! She also was great in getting water, coffee and falafel sandwiches at non touristy places where we paid Egyptian prices instead of tourist prices which was greatly appreciated. Thanks again, Wessam!

After reading excellent reviews on Tripadvisor and elsewhere I used Egypt Tailor Made to create a week-long Egypt itinerary combining multiple day tours they offered. The experience was excellent from start to finish! First of all, when I reached out to inquire about putting together a custom itinerary, Egypt Tailor Made was not only the quickest company to reply but they also offered the best price by far. Their prices were lower than what it would cost to book things piecemeal on Viator, but with the added advantage of having a single trusted operator to provide a seamless experience, including all airport transfers, pickups, daily tours, etc. They were also happy to accommodate further customization to the individual itineraries. They asked for a very modest deposit to confirm my itinerary and they immediately set up a private chat by Whatsapp to make communication between the company/guides/drivers effortless. They always confirmed everything in advance and they were able to accommodate changes along the way. For Cairo and Giza we had an excellent driver Mustafa and guide Wessam. Wessam brought the history to life at Dashur, Sakkara, Memphis, Giza, Old Cairo, and the Egyptian Museum. She also took great pictures of us on her own phone at the pyramids and shared them via Whatsapp. An unforgettable highlight was her tour of a lesser-known tomb in Sakkara called Mereruka. For Luxor we had another wonderful driver Mohamed and guide, also named Mohamed. Our guide Mohamed dazzled us so much in our tour of Karnak and Luxor Temples that we decided to swap our two remaining half-day tours for full-day tours to maximize the opportunity. Mohamed guided us through the wonders of the West Bank, including Valley of the Kings and Medinet Habu, and also took us on a day trip to Abydos and Dendera. His mastery and enthusiasm for the art and history were exceptional. We plan to return to Egypt within the next couple years because we were so blown away. I will definitely use Egypt Tailor Made again in the future and I'm advising friends and family to do the same. Thanks to everyone for an unforgettable trip!

We had two days in Cairo, and this was the first day. We had a guide and a driver for two of us. Our guide Bassam was incredible: We love to travel and he was probably one of the best guides we've had. His English is great and he was so friendly and knowledgeable, he put us at ease immediately and we knew we would be well taken care of. He took us to the Giza pyramids and helped us organize the camel ride we wanted without having to pay too much. He was flexible and patient, really tailoring the tour to what we were most interested in seeing... then he made sure we saw or tried things we didn't even know to ask about, like sugar cane juice... and made sure we had great lunches. If we were to come back again we would definitely ask for Bassam again.

We had a two-day tour and a pick up at the Cairo airport. Our flight was one hour late but the Tailor Made company driver Mostafa was still waiting for us and once we had our luggage he quickly took us across town to our hotel, pointing out the major sights along the way. Te next day we meet our guide Heba. She was right on time at 8:00AM and Mostafa drove us to Saqqara for a full day of sightseeing. We asked to see twelve different tombs. Heba knew them all. She had an excellent knowledge of hieroglyphics as well as Egyptian history and art and she explained everything thoroughly and pointed out all the interesting scenes. Heba also knew all of the guards at the tombs and was easily able to arrange to get us into any of the closed tombs we wanted. She is friends with everyone. Because of her knowledge and connections we toured twelve different tombs in one day. Amazing.! The next day we went to Giza and in addition to pyramids and Sphinx, Heba took us to the mastaba of Meresankh III, a difficult tomb to find but well worth the visit. In the afternoon we went to the NEMC museum and had a personal tour through the marvelous exhibits documenting the entire history of Egypt as well as seeing all the mummies. If you want to construct a two-day tour tailor made to your interests and at a very reasonable price, then Egypt Tailor Made is the company for you. If you want the very best tour guide in all of Egypt, who can plan out a day to include everything you want to see and add some fantastic items you did not even know existed, then ask for HEBA. Also, MOSTAFA was a wonderful driver, always very helpful, able to negotiate the Egyptian traffic and ready and waiting throughout the day to drive us to the next stop. We had several tours during our two-weeks in Egypt but this was the best of them all. Amazing, friendly people with the highest professional standards
