Exceeded all expectations - After we had already done the city tour in Hurghada and the tour of El Gouna with Memnon Reisen and were extremely satisfied every time, we also booked a 2-day private trip to Cairo. We were picked up by Akram the driver at 2 a.m. sharp. A very friendly welcome and off we went. Akram is a great driver, very calm, level-headed and always made us feel safe, even in the traffic chaos in Cairo. And he also provided us with chilled drinks. We arrived in Cairo at around 7.30 a.m. Our tour guide Adel got on there. Whether it was the Alabaster Mosque, the Coptic Quarter with the church, the pyramids with the Sphinx, the Egyptian Museum, the bazaar or the old town, Adel was able to tell us a lot about the history everywhere and in a very entertaining, inspiring way and in perfect German! We also had a very good lunch with Egyptian dishes in between. We stayed overnight in the Steigenberger Hotel opposite the new Egyptian Museum and had a wonderful view of the pyramids from the balcony of our room! Another unforgettable experience was drinking coffee in the old town in a very old, typical little Egyptian café! Adel, thank you for these two great days and for letting us get to know you!

Anytime again with Memnon-Reisen - We traveled as a couple and it was a great experience and everything worked out great. For us, Memnon means uncomplicated, punctual, well organized and incredibly friendly! All arrangements were made from Germany via WhatsApp or by phone call in German. The organization and implementation of the booked excursions was professional. A perfectly organized 2-day trip to Cairo with a very competent guide. Aladin Osama, our tour guide, had a lot of informative and interesting things to tell. That is the advantage of booking a private tour. The slight surcharge compared to a group tour quickly pays for itself here. Our driver also contributed to the success of the trip, even if the hours in the car for the journey there and back were exhausting. An all-round successful trip, for which we would like to say thank you again.

Experience Egyptian history up close - First of all, I would like to thank "Memnon Reisen" for their excellent organization of our trip to Cairo. It was two unforgettable days for us, in which we were immersed in Egyptian history up close. But first things first. The shuttle transfer to and from the airport to Hurghada with our driver Chico went smoothly. At the airport in Cairo we were met by our tour guide Markus, who let us experience Egyptian history up close for two days, who knew an incredible amount and shared this knowledge with us, so that in front of the historical sites in Sakkara, Daschor and Giza we had the feeling of being there in the time of the pharaohs. Together with our driver Achmed, our dream team, it was two unforgettable days in Cairo. We always felt like VIPs. The two of them made everything possible for us, including a private boat tour on the Nile. Overnight stay in Cairo: We recommend: the "Great Pyramids Inn", with a direct view of the Giza Plateau. Fantastic. On the second day, the Egyptian National Museum, the Coptic Quarter and a visit to a bazaar were on the agenda. All of the points here are absolutely worth seeing and can be experienced very realistically through the stories of our guide. Everything went smoothly. We would recommend Memnon Reisen without hesitation. Many thanks again to Markus, Achmed and Chico. You made our journey through the history of Egypt unforgettable.

Sensational, always happy to do it again👍👍👍👍 - Top driver (English), top guide (German-speaking), top organization with a spontaneous Nile trip👍 Everything was super organized, our driver was extremely calm and relaxed, even with the crazy traffic in Cairo👍 Our guide Essam was particularly special, he spoke perfect German and responded to all our requests and kept asking questions! He helped us get past queues, gave us tios for tips, etc. The hotel was right next to the pyramids👍 We will definitely come back to Memnon trips! Greetings Elke&Heiko

It couldn't be better - We booked the trip for 2 adults and a 13-year-old. The organization of pick-up and flight from Hurghada to Cairo and also in Cairo itself was perfect. Our tour guide Adel, who is an Egyptologist himself, had incredible knowledge and it was a delight to listen to him. He fulfilled all of our expectations beyond measure. The overnight stay right next to the pyramids was incredible, the rooms were amazing. Who can say that they could look at these wonders at sunset and at breakfast? The restaurant was on the roof terrace of the hotel. Very friendly staff and the food was very good. On the second day, Adel showed us the beautiful and lively Cairo. Not to forget our driver Raffi, who was always ready in Cairo to take us to new destinations. Memnon Reisen says they want happy guests and that's true, I've never experienced anything like it. It was perfect. Thanks also to the organizers, thank you very much for these memories. If you want beautiful and perfect trips, you have to book Memnon Reisen!!!!

Wonderful days in Cairo! - I booked the trip from Germany. From the first contact to returning to the hotel, everything was perfect! In Cairo, Adel, my guide, and the driver Reda picked me up from the plane. Adel, an Egyptologist, had incredible specialist knowledge. It was very interesting and I learned a lot. Reds drove us safely through the chaotic traffic of the city. The hotel booked through Memnon Reisen fully met my expectations. The pyramids, the museum and the old town will remain unforgettable memories. As a woman traveling alone, I felt safe at all times! Thank you Adel and Reda, thanks to Osman from Memnon Reisen for organizing it!!!
