New Year holidays in Egypt

We were a Group of 6 italians based in Cairo for 5 days end Dec.18 beginning JAnuary 19. All tours were private and organized by means of an italian speaking guide and a private bus for 6 pax with driver. All tours and flights to Luxor were organized by Egypt Tailor Made and the result was excellent. They are professional, culturally prepared and up to your demands. They make you feel like a pharaon all your request and desires are accomplished. we spent lovely times there and hope to go back soon to visit more sites we had not the opportunity to see this time. Thanks to the all staff of the agency to guides and drivers as well...

Brilliant 3 days in Cairo

Cairo was on my bucket list and lived up to all expectations, largely due to the amazing Laila from Egypt Tailor Made Tours. Saqqara and Memphis were very inspiring - Laila was very knowledgeable at every location - knowing all of the history and making it interesting for me. She was particularly good to me as I have some mobility limitations, so she took great in care in advising us which tombs to visit and what times to go there. We did a day of Giza pyramids, a day at Memphis and saqqara and a day in town for the museum and felucca ride. Laila provided us with the fun, informative comprehensive tour I had hoped for. I highly recommend Laila to anyone visiting Cairo and its surrounds.

Private Two Day Tour

My husband and I took a private two day tour with Sabry as our guide and he was wonderful. Sabry was friendly, very knowledgeable and truly gave us an amazing experience as we toured the pyramids, the city and the museum. He always went above and beyond to help us appreciate this beautiful city. Our driver was also excellent.

Well organized

The Pyramids tour organized by "Egypt tailor made" was fantastic. We were contacted by the operator on whatsapp well in advance and gave the necessary briefing. They were flexible to make the tour itinerary suite to our requirements. The tour guide Laila had a warm personality, good knowledge of Egypt history and a highly motivated person (recommended). The packaging was excellent and we felt safe and enjoyed the trip very much. Many thanks and I highly recommend Egypt tailor made tours to any one.

Private tour cairo and Nile Cruise

Fantastic and amazing! Our four day Cairo tour with Osama and four day Nile cruise with Hassan were absolutely wonderful. Guides and drivers were first class, excellent knowledge of Egypt. People extremely friendly, absolutely safe. At 72 years young, this was a trip of a life time and our tour guides could not have been better. Thank you Osama, Hassan, and Egypt Tailor Made. Wallid, the company owner called us several times during the trip to make sure we were being taken care of and satisfied with the experience. Can't wait to go back. Cairo, Giza, Aswan, Luxor, Abu Simbel.

Very good customized tour

We booked a 2-day customized tour that included the Pyramids, Saqqara, Memphis, Alabaster Mosque, Cairo Museum, and Bazaar. There were a lot of really good things and one thing that could be improved. When we arrived, there was a man waiting at the airport inside the secure area before Immigration. He walked us through the whole immigration and customs process and made that very easy. He handed us over to a driver in the parking lot who took us to our hotel. Traffic in Cairo is crazy - I wouldn't recommend trying to drive here. We started the tour the next morning and enjoyed both days. The real highlight was visiting Saqqara - these are the oldest pyramids in Egypt and the area was much less busy than the Great Pyramid. There are some great tombs there with original wall paintings and carvings. The driver did a great job of getting us around safely without terrifying everyone in the van. Our guide, Bassam, was extremely knowledgeable about all of the sites. I found out later in the tour that he has a degree in archeology. We only had one concern that could be improved. We had communicated in advance our exact flight schedule.and planned the tour around that schedule. Our flight departed Cairo at 11pm, so we needed to be at the airport by 8 pm. When we talked with our guide on day 1 of the 2-day tour, he thought our departure time was 3 hours earlier than it actually was. We told him that we needed to be at the airport at 8 pm, but he had planned for a tour that got us to the airport at 5pm. We asked him to show us the things that I had discussed with the owner by e-mail, and he didn't say no, exactly, but we didn't go there and still ended up at the airport before 6pm. I felt like we missed out on a couple of hours of tour that we had arranged and paid for. All in all, we were very happy with the vist and felt that we saw the highlights in Cairo in a comfortable and safe way. There was clearly a miscommunication internally about our departure time and the process to correct that didn't go as well as we would have liked.

Cairo private tour

This trip was absolutely amazing from beginning to end! We had a personal escort that met us inside security and made sure we got through hassle free. He escorted us to our personal car where our driver drove us to the hotel. In the morning we were picked up exactly on time by Sameh, who was our escort and Egyptologist. Sameh spoke excellent English and gave us a 2 day private tour of all the the ancient city had to offer. He was awesome. He is also a great photographer.We had a private driver as well that deserves combat pay! Egyptian drivers rival those in Naples. we had cold water provided daily, and Sameh took us out to 2 different local restaurants that were honestly to die for! This is such a professional operation and was quick to respond with any questions that we had. They designed a tour that was exact to our needs and very reasonably priced for everything we wanted to do.

Perfect Day Trip to Pyramids

My trip (11/10/18) to Dashur, Memphis, Saqqara and Giza was incredible. Hebe Ahmed (guide) and Abdel Nasser (driver) were the perfect companions and guides for the day. I knew some Egyptian history surrounding the pyramids and culture but they added so much more. It was a busy day and they kept up with everything to make sure we go to it all. Dashur and Saqqara were the highlights for me but it was all fantastic. Could not recommend their services more.
