Jasjit_S, May 2026

Best tour guide!!!!

We had such an amazing time with Ayoub! He showed us all of the Pyramids, the sphinx, tombs, had excellent knowledge about the history behind every aspect, and gave us ample time to take photos. He also took photos and videos of us. He's very easygoing and such a great guide. Would highly recommend!

Dina, our guide, is the real jewel of Egypt! Luxor has truly been the highlight of my husband and I’s trip to Egypt. Dina has a great energy and passion of the history here - and I really appreciated all the information and free time at the sights she provided! She was prepare with tickets and was also kind enough to lend me shade with her umbrella! While the day is busy and hot, every second and dollar spent was beyond worth it! I felt safe and had a great time! If I’m ever back in Egypt I would definitely do this tour again, it was smooth, beautiful, educational, and absolutely memorable! I loved Dina and I loved Luxor! I can’t give a better rating than 5 stars but if I could I would! Our drivers were also prompt clean and smooth.

Easy, Well-Planned Day to Abu Simbel

Communication was smooth from start to finish, and everything was well organized. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable, making the visit to Abu Simbel even more enjoyable. The van transfer was comfortable, and the hotel pickup made everything very convenient.

Group dynamics are important

Different than expected, beause we couldn't really shop at the bazar. Spend a lot of time in traffic and in our group was a boring couple. BUT we loved the NileCruise and the guide really tried his best. Went out of his way to get the kids shawarma. To us we would prefer to do this without a guided group , what seems very doable. We would be more free and the atmosphere would be better.

Amazing family day trip on the All Inclusive Package to Pyramids & GEM

We booked the all-inclusive package for us & our 10 year old daughter, during a day trip to Cairo from Sharm El Sheik. Communication from our guide, MARCO was brilliant from the start & he messaged me on WhatsApp the night before to confirm arrangements. Having done so, I cannot image doing a trip like this without a guide & driver. It made everything so much smoother, without worrying about where to go, how to navigate ticket sites & beat the crowds. MARCO was extremely knowledgeable & very personable, making our tour interactive as well involving our daughter as much as possible. She especially enjoyed learning how to read the hieroglyphics! We started the morning at the Great Pyramids & Sphinx, then had a great spot for lunch picked out by MARCO where we tried some traditional Egyptian food & had a personalised experience in a local essence shop, which was an extra treat. We then had the rest of our time visiting the GEM & the Tutankhamun exhibition, before stopping off to get a glimpse of the River Nile. MARCO managed to fit so much into our day trip & really maximised the time without making it feel rushed. It really was a fantastic day trip, well worth it. Pick up & drop off from the airport was prompt & smooth, our driver AYMAN had it all in hand, so we didn't have to worry about missing our flight back. AYMAN was very polite & courteous, always there promptly when we were ready to move on, keeping us well stocked in water & chocolate too! Both MARCO & AYMAN provided an excellent, friendly & personable experience. We will definitely recommend the all-inclusive package to friends, as it just takes the hassle out of everything, meaning we only have great memories & not the stress that navigating these things can sometimes take. We would not have been able to do it without either of them. Great tour! Thank you.

The best Duo for an amazing day!

We had a fantastic day visiting all the pyramids! Ibrahim Allam was the best, if you have him as your guide count it as your lucky day, he is extremely enthusiastic about the pyramids and the history of Egypt, it truly rubs off on you, any questions we had he answered very well and explained everything we were seeing in great detail, I cannot fault him at all, genuinely a lovely guy too! Our driver Haytham was also fantastic and extremely attentive, this duo is unstoppable, as I said if you are lucky enough to have them then get ready for a day to remember!

Tour to Alexandria from Cairo, full day

Great tour! I recommend, it started bad with the driver showing up at 6:45 a.m. instead of 6:00 a.m. But, after that everything went great. Adam, the driver was very courteous and attentive, his English dough, was poor. Ahmed, the tour guide was excellent, very knowledgeable, courteous, attentive at all of our needs.

Hisham was an amazing driver. He got me to the places, and even though he was driver only, he answered questions. This is okay for a female solo traveler. When you get into the church complex you may find that a guide is helpful so that you don’t miss anything. There are inexpensive guides for hire walking around.

If you want to get the best from Cairo in one day, this is the tour to go for! Our guide Amira was excellent! She’s an Egyptologist and was very knowledgable. She was one of the best guides we had during our time in Egypt and would recommend the tour with her to everyone. Our driver Mohammed was very good and polite as well. He came about 15 minutes before the scheduled time and drove us safely through the crazy traffic in Cairo and back to our hotel in Giza. We booked just Car and Guide and there were no problems with buying the tickets on-site. Even in high season there were no queues and you can pay by card everywhere, except the 50E£ car fee to the Citadel.

Private Tour to Whales Valley & Wadi El Rayan Waterfalls in El Fayoum from Cairo

Irene_D, Jan 2026

A Whale of a Time!

We are so glad for this tour with Emo Tours. We had a whale of a time amid awesome ancient seabeds and marine fossils, learning about the geological history of the sea-desert, and finding saltwater waterfalls and lakes amid endless sand dunes. The desert campsite and lunch was a brief yet pleasant experience of desert life, and a welcome respite from Cairo’s urban sprawl. Thanks Fahd(guide) and Adil(driver) for this holiday-within-a-holiday experience!

We had an incredible and very packed day exploring Luxor’s West Bank. The itinerary included the Valley of the Kings, Valley of the Queens and several other fascinating stops. Both the driver and the guide were great. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, sharing rich historical context and answering all our questions with patience and enthusiasm. The pace was full but well-organised, allowing us to see so much in just one day without feeling too rushed.

Half-day Tour in Churches of Cairo

Regina_G, Dec 2025

Really good guide

It was a very interesting experience. Our guide was fantastic. He was great at storytelling and had a lot of knowledge. He was also very open about his own experiences and opinions and it was a great eye opener for foreigners like us. We visited several churches and a synagogue which carry a massive amount of history. I am not sure if it’s mentioned in the itinerary, to get to the last church you have to drive through the so called ‘garbage city’ - which is not for everyone- and so was visiting the city of the dead - but we are glad we did that as it’s a fascinating part of Cairo. Highly recommend this tour. Our tour guide was William - very knowledgeable!
