Heba, our guide, was the perfect antidote to a rather hectic Cairo trip. Having arrived late @night and lost 2 bags we only managed 1 hour of sleep before we met Heba and she took us on our first tour to the Pyramids. She was super personable, calm, helpful and her English was amazing (including. Colloquialisms) which was what I needed. She knew a lot about ancient Egypt which was great as I was travelling with a teen who is studying ancient history and already knew the basics. We did 2 morning tours as it was very hot - firstly to the pyramids and Sphinx (we ended up doing the camel ride too which took us to a great view point - Heba negotiated for us and saved us lots of hassle). The second tour was around the Egyptian museum. There was so much to see and it was great to have a guide whisk you to the most important pieces that would be of interest. She was also always able to answer questions about whichever exhibit caught my teens eyes even if it was not an exhibit she had drawn our attention to. I was travelling with my 2 teen daughters and although I would normally be a DIY traveller I had partly wanted a guide to help deal with any hassle we got as we wouldn't have a man with us (I had left my husband & son behind in Australia). I was a little concerned initially when we had a female guide. But Heba was far better than I could have hoped for .. it felt like travelling with a very knowledgeable friend and we certainly didn’t get any hassle. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a guide in Cairo. And I would recommend Egypt Tailor made for creating tours that suited our interests, the time we had and the time of year. Full day tours in July would just have been too much! We also did 2 morning tours in Luxor - covering Valley of the Kings & Hatshepsuts Temple and the Temples of Luxor and Karnak. I never normally do guided tours but it was so worth it in the heat to have an air conditioned minibus pick you up between stops and supply you with ice cold water. Worth every penny. Thank you so very much.We toured with Heba to Giza, Saqarah and Memphis. She is talented, entertaining and very patient - brought alive the history and gave us a sense we were among the first people to witness the sites (not to mention the lack of crowds was a special treat!)

We toured with Heba to Giza, Saqarah and Memphis. She is talented, entertaining and very patient - brought alive the history and gave us a sense we were among the first people to witness the sites (not to mention the lack of crowds was a special treat!) Heba and ETM are brilliant: very well organised, extremely knowledgeable and skilled at dealing with all arrangements from ticketing and timing to driving. We had lunch in a delicious restaurant on the way back and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.Our guide's name is Heba.

Our guide's name is Heba. I must say that after spending a day with this knowledgeable, funny, informed, kind and open-minded woman my idea of Egypt changed for life and definitely - for the better. It felt like chatting to a good friend, who is interested in showing the best of her country to you, knows a lot about the world and loves her job. We had a good laugh too, which is great for the beginning of a holiday. I definitely recommend Heba as a guide. We saw the pyramids, the Saqqara tombs, went to Memphis, which was followed by a delicious lunch in a local family restaurant. Furthermore, with her you will be shielded from all the attempts to sell you something unnecessary. Our driver whose name I forgot unfortunately impressed us with his skills. Even though Cairo roads are rather hectic (to put it mildly), he drives smoothly and confidently and knows how to cay corners and avoid traffic.Egypt tailor made was amazing to work with!

They were easy to get in touch with and very specific in each step of the day. They provided options and suggested timeframe to see everything we wanted to see in one day! It was a full day of Cairo but we would not change a thing! Thank you for the amazing experience in Egypt!we booked a one day tour as we had a layover.

We had an excellent 2 day tour in Cairo, one day at the start of our trip and a second at the end of the week in Egypt. Sabry was our guide. He was fantastic and one of the best guides we have ever had. We are a family of 5 and he was brilliant with all our 3 children. He made the tours interesting and engaging and kept the children entertained. We would definitely recommend him to friends and family travelling to Cairo. The tour was well organised, the vehicle was very clean and we felt very safe with the guide and driver.
