Great value for money! - It was very nice. A little long, but all the more great insights into various cultural sights of Cairo/Gizeh: National Museum, Nile River optional, Perfume/oil making, Sphinx, pyramids, Papyrus Museum. We looked longer - unbeatable for the price!

Highly recommended - very exclusive!! - We were allowed to spend a fantastic Cairo day with Jakob! Everything worked out perfectly from hotel pickup, flight, Cairo airport pickup back to the hotel in Hurghada. In Cairo we were welcomed by Jakob - in good spirits - at 6 am and looked after all day. 100% of our viewing requests were met. From breakfast tea in the old town, boat tour on the Nile, visit to the museum, lunch in the typical restaurant to visit the pyramids and the "new Cairo" - everything is perfect. Such a tour - a must on a visit to Egypt. Preferably as we do, of course: Exclusive private tour with private vehicle in Cairo and if possible with Jakob - Thank you for the great experience.

Excellent day in Cairo with a great guide - We chose the Cairo 2 tour from Hurghada. The organization is excellent, before, during and after. Early morning flight which allows to arrive at 7am in Cairo then return to Hurghada at 22:30. The guide was also excellent, speaking impeccable French. Very cultured and friendly. A respected program, the meal with the guide also allows you to discuss things and others. It was a very nice day to discover this incredible city with its exceptional history. It makes you want to go back longer!

Very nice trip to Cairo - The trip was a complete success. We were picked up by a minibus, was just right for us three. The drive has been a bit long but we were aware of that. In Cairo our guide Essam has climbed too high. A very competent Egyptologist with very good German. We have experienced and experienced a lot. For all those who plan the trip in December, put on a nice warm outfit 😏 The pyramids already blew a very fresh breeze. All in all it was a very nice trip.

In the footsteps of little Tut and many others - an unforgettable day!!! - An unforgettable experience. From start to finish very good support through Memnon trips. Our guide spoke perfect German, always followed our wishes and always had a joke on his lips. We learned a lot of interesting things and learned a lot about the history of Egypt. Thanks Marcus!!! Our driver drove us safely through the almost endless traffic of Cairo - respect!!! We will definitely book again at Memnon-reisen. Really great. Thanks to all involved!!!

It doesn't get any better!! - The perfect day trip to the pyramids and Cairo from Hurghada/Sahl Hasheesh! We experienced a great day in Cairo as a family (53, 47, 22, 18) with Memnon. We were picked up by two drivers (Assad and Zhukri) in a very clean and spacious minibus. Both were super nice and very professional. The driving was quiet, we always felt safe. The two of them took turns driving, so one could always sleep. In Cairo our guide Aled got on board. His German was better than that of the vast majority of Germans 😁. He has a state examination in Egyptology and has guided us very competently and nicely at the pyramids, in the city and in the Egyptian Museum. Really awesome! No rip-offs, no “super offers” – quite the contrary, he warned us about the tourist traps. You can see that the organizer treats and pays his drivers and guides very well! And they return that with a sensational performance. Also noteworthy are the response times of Memnon (Osman) via WhatsApp! To everyone (!) Time of day and night answers in crisp German. It couldn't get better!!!

Day trip Cairo top! - Punctual pickup at the hotel. You have to be prepared for a long day trip. But there are enough breaks during the journey. A great guide on site who responds to all wishes and shines with a lot of knowledge. Thanks for that @Markus! Thanks also to our driver @Toni you did it very professional!

Unique - In July we had the pleasure of taking a private day trip to Luxor with Memnon Reisen, and it was an experience we will never forget. The organization of the tour was perfect from the beginning. We were picked up on time in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle and safely accompanied through the day by a friendly, competent driver. The highlights of this trip were numerous: The majestic Luxor temple with its fascinating history and architecture, the impressive Memnon colossus, the legendary Valley of the Kings and the historic working-class town of Deir el-Medina, which offered a unique insight into the lives of ancient Egyptian craftsmen. A special highlight was the invitation to a traditional lunch where we could not only enjoy the delicious Egyptian cuisine, but also feel the hospitality of the local people. The entire day was just fantastic. Inspired by this experience, we travelled with Memnon again in November, this time to Cairo to discover the fascinating capital of Egypt. The tour was as well organized as our first trip. Our experiences in Cairo were unforgettable: the iconic pyramids of Giza, the mighty Sphinx, an exciting city tour that took us to the cultural and historical highlights, and the impressive ancient Egyptian Museum. There we were lucky enough to see the world-famous Tutankhamun death mask as well as the historic Rosetta tablet – a moment that deeply impressed us. Another highlight was the delicious lunch we were invited to during the tour. It was not only a culinary delight, but also a wonderful opportunity to experience Egyptian hospitality. We would like to highlight our guide in Cairo, Adil. With his expertise, his warm manner and his infinite patience, he has brought us closer to the history and culture of Egypt in an extremely impressive way. Not only did he answer every question in detail, but he was also a great photographer who helped us capture our most beautiful moments. Both trips with Memnon trips were perfectly organized and far exceeded our expectations. The high-quality vehicles, reliable drivers and outstanding guides made each tour a relaxed and educational experience. We can highly recommend Memnon travel to anyone who wants to discover Egypt in an extraordinary and personal way. We are already looking forward to more expeditions with this great team!
