[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do A&K tours start at 17K pp? They look so awesome, but sadly too rich for my blood. [/quote]

Not PP but you can get good tours for very inexpensive.  You don’t need A&K, etc.  I went with my 70 year old mother and stayed at a Marriott.  The concierge was amazing and they arranged tours for us with preferred providers.  It was about $100/night 2 years ago.  Super easy and comfortable.[/quote]
We used a company called Memphis Tours.  They are a big player and very established.  They'll create a custom tour for you.  You can pay more for an upper end, exclusive tour or less for a group tour with less nice accommodations.  Just tell them what you want and get a very specific quote.  Have them put in all the details including flight times, hotels, and whether transfers will be private or shared.  Look at a map to make sure the hotel locations make sense.  Cairo, in particular, is a huge city with lots of traffic and you don't want to stay on the other side of town from your destination.

Note that all tour guides use government-approved scripts, so the "history" presented is all very favorable to the Egyptian govt.  Most of it is ancient enough that it doesn't have much impact, but for anything modern-ish you'll be hearing the party position.[/quote]
