I have just finished the Cairo portion of an 3 week tour of Egypt and Jordan organized by Memphis Tours. They have been superb so far. From the start, in organizing the tour via email, they understood my requirements and offered many options - always in a friendly and responsive manner. The greeting at the airport and transfer to the hotel by private car was done smoothly, quickly, comfortably and with a smile.
