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.

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!

Ottima esperienza con Laila e Mostafa
Abbiamo trascorso due giorni incantevoli con la nostra guida Laila e l'autista Mostafa. Abbiamo fatto due tour privati: Museo Egizio/Il Cairo copto/Khan Elkhalili Baza e Piramidi/Saqara/Dashur.
Laila era estremamente ben informata, è stato fantastico conoscere la storia dei luoghi e ha offerto conversazioni coinvolgenti e premurose per tutto il tempo. È stata molto accogliente e paziente con le nostre domande. Si è presa così tanta cura di noi.
Mostafa ci ha tenuti al sicuro e in movimento, autista molto cordiale e accomodante. Ho navigato per le trafficate strade del Cairo senza stress.
Entrambi sono stati molto carini e si sono assicurati che ci siamo goduti il nostro tempo in Egitto. Il nostro unico rimpianto è non rimanere più a lungo e fare più tour con loro.
Lo consiglio vivamente e si prega di richiedere Laila e Mostafa.
Grazie mille e non vediamo l'ora di tornare.

Laila e Mostafa erano fantastici
Laila e Mostafa erano fantastici! Laila era molto ben informata e ha risposto a tutte le nostre domande sui numerosi fatti storici in Egitto. Abbiamo anche fatto il tour privato del Museo Egizio/Cairo copto/Khan Elkhalili Baza e Piramidi/Saqara/Dashur. Sono stati molto accomodanti, si sono sempre assicurati che avessimo acqua, caffè e abbiamo provato spuntini egiziani, cosa che abbiamo apprezzato. Lo consiglierò sicuramente ai miei amici negli Stati Uniti. Grazie per un'esperienza meravigliosa!

Tour fantastici
Abbiamo scelto tre tour fuori dal Cairo con Egypt Tailor Made ed erano meravigliosi. La nostra guida turistica, Heba, ha comunicato con noi prima del tour per coordinare il ritiro ed era puntuale ogni giorno. Era sempre piacevole essere in giro, gestiva una litania di domande da parte di una bambina di nove anni e aveva sempre una risposta con spiegazioni dettagliate. Durante i tour conosceva i posti migliori e ha navigato nel suo tour in modo da evitare grandi gruppi in modo da permetterci di visitare le aree chiave senza la grande folla raccolta. Era evidente che le piaceva il suo lavoro e educare gli altri. La sua base di conoscenze era vasta e sapeva informazioni che altre guide turistiche non sapevano che erano accanto a noi. È stata anche molto disponibile. Scattava foto, guardava le nostre cose, consigliava ottimi ristoranti e aiutava i venditori. Consiglio vivamente Heba e la userei di nuovo per viaggi futuri al Cairo. Il trasporto fornito da Egypt Tailor Made era di prim'ordine. Il furgone era immacolato, sembrava nuovo, aveva un buon odore e ci siamo sempre sentiti al sicuro con l'autista.

Vuoi andare in un posto nuovo? Dove tutto è diverso e non sai di chi fidarti. ETT è la strada da percorrere.
Non c'è una parola nella lingua inglese per spiegare quanto sia incredibile, facile, veloce, eccezionale, sicura, meravigliosa e altro ancora di come questa azienda si sia presa cura di me. La mia prima volta al Cairo e non dimenticherò mai l'esperienza.
Chiedi a Sabyr
Qualunque cosa tu faccia quando comunichi con Egypt Tailor Tours
Chiedi di Sabyr
È fantastico.
Sapeva tutto, dalla storia, ai luoghi locali, ai luoghi segreti, alla cucina fino al posto migliore per scattare foto, dove non spendere soldi in spazzatura. Dove sono i veri souvenir egiziani.
Quest'uomo era incredibile.
Se stai leggendo questo Sabyr: Grazie
Attraverso tutti i miei viaggi. Questo viaggio/tour è stato il migliore che abbia mai visto.
Ps Mostafa anche il nostro autista è stato eccellente
Sempre puntuale e non ho avuto problemi ad aiutarmi dopo ore che dovevo andare da qualche parte o semplicemente per prendere da mangiare.
Grazie
