        Great overview of Saqarra and Memphis
        The tour was very well organised and provided a great overview of three major sites near Cairo. I really enjoyed the chance to climb inside the pyramid…Sayed was very knowledgeable and friendly and Ahmed was a great driver!

        Sayde Mahmoud & radhim were great guides. A wealth of knowledge and very easy going. We never waited in lines, and always had convenient pickup/drop-offs. Traffic in Egypt is nuts but we felt safe with our driver. Thank you so much for a fabulous experience.

        Cairo sightseeing
        I was in Cairo for 24 hours and Sayed Mahmoud and Islam arranged a quick city tour for me. Picked me up at the airport and gave me a detailed tour. Sayed knows the history very well and also good spots to take pictures. Islam kept us on track by his good driving and guarded my luggage. I never had to worry about anything

        Sayed is our great tour guide. He made our tour day at Cairo, Ginza very enjoyable. Many thanks.
        We are a family of 5 with 3 young children. We had a lovely tour day to see Museum, Giza pyramids. Sayed Mahoud is our guide. He is knowledgeble and very honest man. He was trying to make the best of our day considered that we lost 3 hours due to flight delayed (we booked flight seperately with Egyptair). Sayed consulted us which activitivies we should do and how in our limited time to make the most of the day. Also he helped us to avoid local sale people at the sites and even get some love local food to eat while waiting at the airport. Definitely recommend! I'll book with Emo tour next time we come.

        Sayad Mahmoud great guide
        We had a lovely trip today with our guide Sayed Mahmoud. We visited the pyramids and the Cairo museum. Our flight was delayed 2hrs but Sayed was still waiting to collect us a the airport. Sayed is very knowledgeable and friendly. We all had a lovely day. Thank you for giving us good memories.

        Terrible experience
        I have no words to express the bad experience I had with this agency. I will limit myself to telling what happened and to strongly advise against taking a tour with them, there are more valid agencies in Egypt, which I then contacted later. I took the day tour from Cairo to Luxor. On the way there, the driver and the agency representative left me at the wrong terminal at the airport, luckily I had the Egyptian sim so I called them back and made them go back, even though the representative insisted that I was the one in error, in the end I made a terrible rush not to miss the plane, but a person older than me would have missed the plane. Before boarding for the return flight I wrote a message to the agency to make sure they would come and pick me up at the right terminal upon arrival in Cairo. Surprise, there was NO ONE waiting for me upon arrival. I called the agency representative (the same one as in the morning) who told me that he would be there in 5 minutes. Finally he arrived after 40 minutes without a driver, first saying that the driver was in the parking lot, then that he was sick. Finally at 1 am he put me in a car with a driver who only spoke Arabic and I returned to the hotel alone at 2 am. Terrible experience

        Review on Cairo-Giza tour
        The tour was amazing. We had the best time and the most professional guide and Driver. We saw a lot of attractions and our guide, Mr Sayed Mahmoud even helped us with our fussy baby. He made sure we were okay and comfortable at all times. The Driver opened our doors and was always on time to pick us up. They were a very exceptional duo. 100% recommend.

        Excellent tour of Cairo
        Excellent service provided by Sayed Mahmoud on an all-day tpur of Cairo. Sayed facilitated our tour with ease, provided useful insights at the pyramids, Sphinx, and Egyptian Museum. We felt very much in great company all day. There were a few stops for shopping for local products (essence oils, papyrus) that included demonstrations, but there was no significant pressure to buy anything. Lunch was buffet style at a nice restaurant. Highly recommend this tour, especially if booking with Sayed and our driver, Mahmoud.

      Our tour today has been truly exceptional. Sayed mahmoud has been a very kind, knowledgeable and professional guide at all times. The tour was super informative and he took time for us to fully understand every small detail that it was relevant at the Cairo Museum. The places we visited was incredible and he ensured that we had enough time for appreciating every detail, time for pictures. The driver was very kind as well, we felt safe and welcomed right from the beginning. I’d highly recommend this tour to any person who wants to see more of Cairo and ask for Sayed to be their tour guide.

      Our experienced guide Sayed Mahmoud and professional driver Mohmed were amazing! Our special interest was Coptic city and we booked the full day tour including lunch and admission fees. It was so nice to have everything explained, and all the details taken care of. The lunch was simply wonderful. They were so patient and flexible with our special requests along they way, and Sayed helped us find some key items on our shopping list, and made sure we were treated well by the vendors. We would take another tour with Sayed in a heartbeat and are truly grateful.

      Sayed Mahmoud was a brilliant guide, he showed us around the museum, the highlight of which was the Tutankhamun exhibition, Rita has wanted to see this for many years, it was wonderous.
      Rita has learning difficulties and Sayed was a model of patience with her, answering her questions and listening to her when she shared the knowledge she had of Tutankhamen.
      The tour delivered everything we wanted, and more. Sayed was a wonderful guide and when I requested not visiting the market, due to the stress felt at these places he agreed to remove that option, for which I was very grateful.
      Thank you Sayed.

      Went on an excellent tour with Sayed Mahmoud where he provided a detailed walkthrough of every site we visited. He also took me to a very nice shawarma and falafel restaurant, after which he treated me to coffee. Sayed is extremely service-oriented and accommodating and I highly recommend asking for him if you’re looking for any trip in Cairo.

      I also booked this tour about 9 hours before it started and Emo Tours was very responsive and quick to set everything up. They also have very reasonable prices so it’s an excellent option if you’re looking for good value.

      Osama took us to the pyramids, Egyptian museum and the Old Cairo Bazar. Everything was perfect and had a lot of fun. Osama was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. He’s also very good at taking pictures! I highly recommend EmoTours and Osama.

      For the pyramids day, we rode camels around the pyramids and went inside the biggest pyramid Khufu which was an adventure. We also rode ATVs around the pyramids and took pictures along the way.

      For the Egyptian museum, we saw beautiful ancient artifacts from thousands of years ago and even saw the treasure of King Tutankhamun which was incredible.

      For the bazar, we saw a lot of shops and things to purchase. It was fun looking around at all of souvenirs and products people were selling.

      Old Cairo Churches were beautiful! We saw where baby Jesus slept in the church which was really great to see and the hanging church.

      Essam was extremely knowledgeable, engaging, patient and positive. I travel extensively throughout the world and I always procure a guide for various excursions and tours. Essam was one of the best guides that I have experienced in all of my travels.

      You can trust him introduce you to the right vendors along with way for any souvenirs, merchandise or food you may want to explore.

      I wish Essam could fly to Luxor with me to do the tour there as well. That’s how truly amazing he really is!!!

      For me, the best part was seeing the gold mask of King Tut Ankh Amun at the Egyptian Museum. What made this experience even better was having Nesma our guide, narrate the exhibits. Without her, we would have breezed through in 15 minutes not understanding the history behind the showcases. The tour continued into the Cairo Citadel and Islamic Mosques as well as Old Coptic Cairo and Christianity. The Ben Ezra Synagogue was not open on this day. Nesma is the tour guide we had, a wealth of information.. Very professional, punctual, and delivered as promised! We highly recommend her, when you choose Emo Tours Egypt.. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

      We started the day with the Egyptian Museum. All I could say was "WOW!!!" The museum was daunting with all the pieces from ancient civilization there. Nesma guided as around there. Let me just say that having a tour guide inside the museum is definitely the right way to go and having Nesma again as the guide put the icing on the cake. We did the pyramid tour with her the previous day and being able to correlate the pieces we saw at the museum to the real sites and stories we learned during the previous day, made it so much easier for me to actually put the puzzle pieces together. The best way to learn about Egyptian history! Then we went to the citadel and coptic area, more historic sites! Nesma even took time to explain the history of each place we went to, to our 6yo daughter and explained to her in ways she could understand. Truly amazing!
