Great tour & great tour guide
Sahar was a great tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and I learned a lot. She was very helpful and patient throughout the tour. Yasser Salah was a great driver. The pickup was right on time and the car was very clean. I highly recommend Emo Tours and will definitely book again if return to Egypt.

Beautiful experience 🙏
Beautiful churches to be seen here, the craftsmanship in the stone is exceptional, the only fault I had was that my tour guides English was not that great was a little hard to understand her but she was a lovely lady and very comfortable to be with 🙂

It was wonderful! I enjoyed spending time with my driver and tour guide. I loved that I did a private tour and got to see the top things on my list.

Great Tour
Our guide was late (10 minutes), I know there is traffic but they should plan accordingly. Once she arrived we saw some local sites from the car, and then headed to the cave church. We had to travel through this area called “garbage town” and then you arrive to this beautiful church carved into a mountain. Just beautiful. It was a great tour. Hearing the history and seeing all the beautiful carvings throughout the church. Lunch is good. I would recommend this tour to my family and friends
