We booked our June 2022 trip to Egypt through Trip.Me with Memphis Tours being the local tour operator. Our itinerary started with a flight from JFK to Cairo, two nights in Cairo at the Four Seasons, followed by a flight to Aswan where we joined a 3-night Nile Cruise to Luxor and then a couple of nights at the Hilton in Luxor. We had a fantastic vacation full of amazing experiences and incredible memories.
The planning and booking process through Trip.me was excellent - Amira the contact person we worked with was professional, always prompt to respond and easy to work with to create an interesting itinerary - all the tours they arranged and planned for us were perfect. We did try to do the Hot Air balloon ride in Luxor but unfortunately it got cancelled as it was too windy - we will do that next time!
Our experience with all the members of the Memphis Tours team was exceptional from start to finish. Super organized and professional service from all - special thanks to Reem Khaled, Maha Elhefny, Shreef and Ahmed Amine.
Highy recommend Trip.me and Memphis Tours !

Trip.Me now TravelLocal allowed us to utilize the services of Gail and then Nada to customize a trip to Jordan. Trip originally planned for April 2020 (Covid postponed), then May 2021(again Covid postponed) and finally May 2022. Our initial deposit was fully applied to the trip when we were finally able to complete. They accommodated multiple itinerary changes over the 3 years from initial planning to actual trip. Allowed us to book some accommodations direct so we could take advantage of various points, bonuses and ‘Covid’ credits.
The trip was fabulous. Guide (Anas) was incredibly knowledgeable with good command of English. Our driver (Akram)was also extremely knowledgeable and had excellent command of the English language.
Everything about the trip was absolutely first class. I highly recommend Jordan as a great place to visit if you are interested in history, architecture, and archeology. The scenery is magnificent and incredibly varied in such a small area.

We had a great overview of Greece and covered a lot of Greece. Everything went smoothly with the exception of when we were picked up in Santorini from the HIgh Speed Ferry and dropped off at our hotel the drivers did not offer to assist us with our luggage. There were a lot of stairs to cover and it was very difficult for us. Overall our trip was better than we expected.

I commend Cynthia for her willingness to make multiple adjustments to the itinerary to suit our requests. All excursions occurred on time and as planned. Our guides were exceptional. We felt very safe with all activities during our travel in Ecuador. People were friendly and very service oriented. The highlight was hiking to Cotapaxi refugio at 4800 meters!
