Day Tour to Coptic Cairo

I could write an essay about the excellent service we received from Egypt Tailor Made Tours. We hired them to build a 12 day itinerary that included most of the main sites and a 5 day cruise and tour of Nubian Village. We definitely recommend them and will use them again ourselves. I need to give highest regards to the owner Mr Fathy and his team for the attention to detail as I planned this special trip for my husband's milestone birthday. Ms Naglaa was in charge of communications and edits to the trip and she was excellent throughout the entire trip, even checking in with us just to make sure we were happy and when something was slightly off, she fixed it without delay... to the point of impressing us with the outcome. As for our Cario Egyptologist Sabry [Sabree]... we wanted him to say with us for our entire trip from Cario to Luxor and Aswan. His attention to personalities and interests was impeccable (or perhaps we simply connected as fellow humans with similar interests). He could read when we were excited or getting too much detail. He sensed when we were curious for more detail and simply had a conversation to encourage our understanding. Sabry is an easy going soul who is doing something he loves and it shows. I'm sure the company has other great Egyptologists but request Sabry if you are looking for an experienced humble family man who goes out of his way to keep you engaged and takes some pretty cool pictures (without suggesting for a tip each time - more on that later) We had two drivers (Shabaan in Cario and Kareem in Luxor & Aswan). Both were professional, polite, calm in city traffic while we had our foot on our imaginary brakes ???? (be prepared for no road rules and risky driving along with pedestrians taking a chance on life to cross the road!) In fact, Kareem got out of his vehicle to help us cross the road on a couple occasions. Best part of our trip (other than seeing the great Pyramids and temples) was the Nile Cruise. Prepare yourself for a high level of vendor pressure to buy their wares. But be considerate that the economy is tough and Tourism is a large segment of their income. Also, know that you should budget for tipping everywhere & everyone... that's how they make up for the low wages. The trip itself was amazing and we plan to go back as a family group next year. Thanks again @EgyptTailorMadeDayTours

Our family of 4 (2 teenagers) traveled to Cairo from Jordan. Egypt Tailor Made went above and beyond to ensure a seamless experience. We were blessed to have Laila as a guide. She was extremely knowledgeable, kind and flexible. She was very engaging with our teenagers and knew when we needed a break. We toured Memphis, Saqqara and the Giza pyramids the first day; and The Egyptian Museum, a felucca ride on the Nile, Coptic Cairo and the market on the second. Cairo can be an intimidating city for first time visitors and we would highly recommend trusting your trip to this excellent tour company. We felt safe and secure throughout our visit. A representative was waiting for us to help us upon arrival at the airport and the communication prior to arrival was exact. It was July so it was expectedly hot but doable. Lastly, request Laila as a guide. You will not be disappointed!

We did 2 day tours with Ali and Ahmet and they were amazing. Ahmet made us feel very safe and explained things thoroughly, made sure vendors at the bazaar didn’t take advantage of us. Even got us some local cuisine that was delicious. We never felt rushed and he accommodated last minute changes very well. We loved our time there and would definitely recommend this agency. They were also amazing in getting us at the airport and walking us through passport control!
