The trip of a lifetime!
If you have even the slightest inclination of seeing ancient artifacts and walking in the steps of a civilization from 6000 years ago, you should
definitely travel to Egypt! From the first step into the pyramids to the last step off the Aswan Nile boat ride our trip was simply amazing.
I had many reservations and concerns about safety while planning our visit to Egypt, especially due to planning it only a week before we departed. I was overly surprised that I felt completely safe during our stay and enjoyed my time even more than I imagined I would. Egypt Tailor Made’s guides made the history come to life and kept us on schedule to see everything we wanted to see, but never made us feel rushed. From tombs, to temples and pyramids to museums, we saw many of the popular sites and were able to customize the itinerary to fit our travel style. The scheduled 1.5-2 hour museum visit ended up lasting 3.5 due to our excitement about everything we were learning and our guide noting our interest in the museum.
Our time in Egypt has been one of our very favorite international trips and I would highly recommend it to everyone.
Egypt Tailor Made was quick to respond and plan our trip to Egypt only a week before our travel. We were able to add and subtract various sites from our itinerary to make sure that we were able to see everything that we wanted to see. We had read various online reviews in preparation for our trip trying to decide whether to use a tour guide or not, and after our experience we would highly recommend the guides. This helped us to appreciate the history and understand the sites we were visiting, as well as helped with avoiding tourist scams and navigating the tourism police.
While touring in Cairo, do yourself a favor and request Sabry as your tour guide and Mostafa as your driver. Sabry is truly so good at his job and is also the best photographer to snap the perfect photos at the pyramids. He made us feel even more excited about everything we were seeing and really goes above and beyond to ensure you have the best experience possible. Sabry was also open to explaining the Islamic faith and we had many great conversations during our drives between sites. Mostafa kept us safe amidst the crazy Cairo traffic and was very helpful with airport transfers, hotel drop off/pick up and managing our luggage.
In Luxor and Aswan we had Mohamed Soliman
as our guide and Mohammed as our driver. Mohamed Soliman was an excellent guide and is so knowledgeable about the history of ancient Egypt as well as reading hieroglyphics. He gave us space when we wanted to view things on our own and did a wonderful job giving perspective on not only ancient Egypt but present and recent past. No questions were off the table!
We were also lucky to have Ehmad in Luxor as our personal representative to assist us with hotel check in and searching out the best coffee shops and restaurants. Definitely gave us a great perspective and a warm welcome to his hometown.
I was hesitant to make the trip to Egypt but I am SO glad that we did. Visiting Egypt is the trip of a lifetime and my husband and I are so happy we had this great experience with Egypt Tailor Made.
On a side note, my husband and I are in our early thirties and hemmed and hawed over doing an overland tour Vs. a Nile cruise. Even though we have not done the Nile cruise, we think we made the right choice with the overland excursion. Many times we ran into big groups from the cruises as we were leaving sites or saw them exiting a site as we were arriving, and we were thankful to have a lot more intimate visits to some of the biggest attractions. I think this would only be possible having guides and drivers, but something to keep in mind for the young and adventurous. Driving through Egypt was an experience all on its own.
Cheers and thank you all for making our trip one we will never forget!!

Egyptian Trip - Cairo & Luxor Private Guided Tours
ETM Tours did a great job helping us (family with 12 year old) organize our Egypt trip. They took care of every airport & hotel transfer as well as day tours both from Cairo & Luxor. Our Cairo & Luxor guides, Mona and Raina respectively, were very knowledgeable, patient and helpful in adapting to every request with asked for, besides from being very good photographers too! 😜 I strongly recommend getting guided tours in Egypt, since the language barrier makes it difficult to achieve simple tasks such as getting a taxi driver to understand where to take you. To all the ETM team, thanks again for a wonderful vacation.

Heba was our guide and she took great care of us, making sure we are happy old the time.

2 Day Cairo Tour with Laila - the best guide!
We spent 2 days exploring Cairo with our tour guide Laila - she was so welcoming and shared wonderful entertaining stories with the kids. We saw the highlights of the Museum of Antiquities - The mummies and King Tut treasures are phenomenal! The passion with which Laila shared the history of various pieces just brought everything to life!
We also really enjoyed the Laila's recommendations on where to go in the El Khalili Bazaar - was a full sensory experience and a great place to pick up souvenirs.
The pyramids tour the following day was amazing. No words can really describe the awe you feel seeing the ancient wonders. Our family especially enjoyed the camel rides which Laila arranged, and also climbing inside the great pyramid was worth the extra admission fee.
I can't recommend Egypt Tailor Made enough - they really went out of their way to help ensure all of our logistics were smooth. Laila is a top notch guide and we really appreciate her expertise and care for the kids!

Fantastic guided trip
My husband and I booked a private half day pyramids and a full day Islamic Cairo, Egyptian museum and Khan el-Khalili bazaar all with the same guide Laila.
Laila is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I would highly recommend using her. She is very engaging when informing you about the history of what you are looking at. She also takes good care of you I was 18 weeks pregnant, she was always asking if I was ok or needed the toilet (which made me feel at ease). She even brought the baby a gift in the market. She brought us local snacks and took lots of pictures for us.
She gives you time to look around on your own.
We both felt very safe and had a fantastic trip! We will definitely be returning.

Excellent multiple pyramids day
Really enjoyed our daytrip to Dahshur, Memphis, Sakkara, and Giza with Mona and Muhammad, which was genuinely tailor made with the addition of Dahshur at our request. Mona was an excellent guide, friendly and welcoming, full of detailed, interesting information and well able to answer extra questions, Muhammad was a friendly, safe driver who knew the routes well, and both gave us all the time we needed to explore at leisure - couldn’t ask for more!

Excellente expérience avec Laila et Mostafa
Nous avons passé deux belles journées avec notre guide Laila et le chauffeur Mostafa. Nous avons fait deux visites privées: Musée égyptien / Le Caire copte / Khan Elkhalili Baza et Pyramides / Saqara / Dashur.
Laila était extrêmement bien informée, c'était fantastique d'en apprendre davantage sur l'histoire des sites et a offert une conversation engageante et réfléchie tout au long. Elle a été très accueillante et patiente avec nos questions. Elle s'est si bien occupée de nous.
Mostafa nous a gardés en sécurité et en mouvement, chauffeur très sympathique et arrangeant. Navigué dans les rues animées du Caire sans stress.
Les deux étaient très gentils et se sont assurés que nous avons apprécié notre séjour en Égypte. Notre seul regret est de ne pas rester plus longtemps et de faire plus de tournées avec eux.
Je le recommande vivement et veuillez demander Laila et Mostafa.
Merci beaucoup et nous avons hâte de revenir.

Laila et Mostafa étaient géniaux
Laila et Mostafa étaient fantastiques ! Laila était très compétente et a répondu à toutes nos questions sur les nombreux faits historiques en Égypte. Nous avons également fait la visite privée du musée égyptien / du Caire copte / Khan Elkhalili Baza et des pyramides / Saqara / Dashur. Ils étaient très arrangeants, s'assuraient toujours que nous avions de l'eau, du café et essayions des collations égyptiennes, ce que nous avons apprécié. Je le recommanderai certainement à mes amis aux États-Unis. Merci pour une expérience merveilleuse!

Visites étonnantes
Nous avons choisi trois circuits hors du Caire avec Egypt Tailor Made et ils étaient merveilleux. Notre guide touristique, Heba, a communiqué avec nous avant la visite pour coordonner le ramassage et était ponctuel chaque jour. Elle était toujours agréable à côtoyer, traitait une litanie de questions d'un enfant de neuf ans et avait toujours une réponse avec des explications détaillées. Pendant les tournées, elle connaissait les meilleurs endroits et naviguait dans sa tournée de manière à éviter les grands groupes afin que nous puissions visiter les zones clés sans la grande foule rassemblée. Il était évident qu'elle aimait son travail et éduquer les autres. Sa base de connaissances était vaste et elle connaissait des informations que d'autres guides touristiques ne savaient pas qui étaient à côté de nous. Elle a également été très utile. Elle prenait des photos, surveillait nos affaires, recommandait d'excellents restaurants et aidait les vendeurs. Je recommanderais vivement Heba et je l'utiliserais à nouveau pour un futur voyage au Caire. Le transport fourni par Egypt Tailor Made était de premier ordre. La camionnette était impeccable, avait l'air neuve, sentait bon et nous nous sommes toujours sentis en sécurité avec le chauffeur.

Voulez-vous aller quelque part de nouveau? Où tout est différent et vous ne savez pas à qui faire confiance. ETT est la voie à suivre.
Il n'y a pas de mot en anglais pour expliquer à quel point les connaissances sont incroyables, faciles, rapides, exceptionnelles, sûres et merveilleuses, et plus encore comment cette entreprise a pris soin de moi. Ma première fois au Caire et je n'oublierai jamais l'expérience.
Demander à Sabyr
Quoi que vous fassiez lorsque vous communiquez avec Egypt Tailor Tours
Demandez Sabyr
Il est génial.
Il savait tout, de l'histoire, des endroits locaux, des endroits secrets, de la cuisine au meilleur endroit pour prendre des photos, où ne pas dépenser d'argent en bric-à-brac. Où se trouvent de vrais souvenirs égyptiens.
Cet homme était incroyable.
Si vous lisez ce Sabyr : Merci
A travers tous mes voyages. Ce voyage / tournée a été le meilleur que j'aie jamais connu.
Ps Mostafa notre chauffeur était excellent aussi
Toujours à l'heure et n'a eu aucun problème à m'aider après des heures à aller quelque part ou simplement à manger.
Merci
