I was in Egypt from January 13 to 20, 2025 and hired several tours with Egypt Travel Gate, I wanted to highlight that they fulfilled everything contracted and I always had the support and advice during the trip. Especially to Hagar Khalaf that his help and willingness at all times was indispensable for the trip to be excellent

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.
