Cairo Night Tour with Hana
I originally booked this tour because most of my activities in Cairo were during the day, and I really wanted to experience what the city was like at night. Due to circumstances in the city, the tour had to be moved to the following evening, but Hana communicated well about the change and it was not an issue.
I definitely recommend booking this tour with Hana. She picked me up from my hotel and made navigating Cairo at night very easy. We visited a beautiful mosque and explored Khan el-Khalili, and seeing Cairo at night was absolutely beautiful. As a solo traveler, I really appreciated that Hana took photos for me and would also point out good photo spots along the way.
One of my favorite parts was shopping in the market. Hana took us to a quality handmade store as well as a fixed-price store with very reasonable prices. I was able to buy souvenirs for my entire family for under $20, which I really appreciated because it took away the stress of negotiating. The food included on the tour was also really good.
I had also been looking for a personalized cartouche bracelet, and Hana recommended someone who was able to make one for me at a very reasonable price. I ended up getting exactly what I wanted, so I’m especially grateful to her for that recommendation.
Hana dropped me back off at my hotel at the end of the night and communicated well throughout the experience. She is a wonderful person who really goes above and beyond, and I had a great time on the tour. I would absolutely recommend booking with her, especially if you’re traveling solo or want to experience Cairo at night.

The pickup was on time...
The pickup was on time and the van was quite clean and cozy with security belt. One thing that should be more clear is the fact that the price of the entrance ticket to Abu Simbel was not included and was mandatory, I thought that ticket was optional to go inside the temple not to see the temple from outside.

This full-day tour with...
This full-day tour with Bassant as our guide, was the absolute wonderful. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and spoke fluent English. They shared fascinating history about the Giza Pyramids and the Great Sphinx while ensuring we had a great time.
The private transport was clean and air-conditioned, and the driver navigated Cairo's busy traffic with ease. Lunch was delicious and included in a nice local spot.
I felt safe, well-cared for, and learned so much. Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see the best of ancient Egypt in one day!

Highly Recommend
Our guide Wagih was a very good guide. I enjoyed everthing about the tour. The information provided was the perfect amount of information. We went on a Saturday and it turns out that was the best time to go. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who has an interest in the Coptic Churches.

Best Egyptian tour guide!
Waleed was a very experienced travel guide. We felt very safe and very well informed. The entire day was fluid and painless. We would definitely recommend Waleed to anyone that would like a tour in Egypt! He not only speaks fluent Arabic and English, he also speaks Mandarin!

Friendly and helpful driver
Alaa (Aladdin) was an extremely patient and friendly driver. I did the half day tour to Saqqara/Dhashur/Memphis and he took me to each site and more comfortably and safely. I'd definitely recommend.
He did ask me at one point if I wanted to visit a carpet museum, to which I replied "no" and that was that. (I'd read reviews from some people saying they were driven round tourist trap shops).
Would definitely recommend, just make sure you know what you want to see and where you want to go - Alaa's English was quite poor (we communicated with Google translate), so consider this a personal driver/Uber as opposed to a tour.
Sidenote: I only paid for car+driver, there are also car+driver+guide options but I cannot speak for those

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!

Fantastic tour and tour company
We would highly recommend Emo Tours Egypt - everything about the tour was beyond expectations. Abu Simbel itself was of course fantastic and well worth the long drive, and there are many companies offering tours, so my review is about Emo Tours. Communication from the company was excellent, instant response to questions on WhatsApp. We organised the pick up point (a cruise boat in our case) directly with the company via WhatsApp. The pick up was on time, the car was almost new and very comfortable, and our driver Mohammed was a very good, safe driver. With the comfortable car and very good straight roads we got to Abu Simbel in 3.5 hours including a 15 minute coffee stop (even quicker on the way back). Our guide was very friendly and very knowledgeable and he gave us a lot of very useful and interesting information in perfect English before we entered the temples. Both guide and driver were friendly and courteous. Overall an excellent company and tour, hence highly recommended

Full Day Tour Visiting Coptic and Islamic Cairo
Great day out experience the cultural and spiritual places of the old city in Coptic Cairo. This was a private tour and my guide Heba Was very attentive, knowledgeable and friendly and made the tour very interesting and also had all the answers for all my questions. I throughly enjoyed it and it’s definitely a must do if you want to know more about the holy sites in the city

A perfect day out, thank you!
Thank you to Hamed for a fantastic day out in Alexandria.
He arrived to collect us on time and looked after us all day.
We did everything we wanted to do plus a little more, and he drove us safely all day.
The car was comfortable and he speaks good English.
I would highly recommend a tour with him if you get the opportunity.
A perfect day out, thank you!!

An unforgetabble day in Fayoum
This experience is relaxed, personal, and driven by Ahmed’s bright, engaging personality. From the start, his energy sets the tone for the entire day. He is warm, upbeat, and genuine, which makes the experience feel less like a tour and more like an adventure shared with a friend.
The day is not rushed or overly structured. Ahmed encourages curiosity, conversation, and laughter, creating an easy, joyful atmosphere while still sharing meaningful context about Fayoum, the desert, and the whale fossils. The drive from Cairo becomes part of the experience, filled with good energy and connection.
Visiting the whale fossils was fascinating. Lunch at a Bedouin rest area in the desert is a true highlight, offering a peaceful break in a beautiful setting.
Travelers should know that much of what makes this experience special is Ahmed himself. His positivity, sense of humor, and genuine hospitality leave you feeling energized and cared for throughout the day. If you value a guide with a vibrant spirit who creates a memorable, personable experience, this tour is an excellent choice.

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!

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Egypt is home to thousands of years of history. Even if you’re visiting for sun, sea, and sand, the top Egypt day trips make it easy to enjoy the nation’s UNESCO World Heritage-listed wonders. Cairo offers pyramids aplenty, plus mosques, bazaars, museums, and Coptic churches, while Luxor, Aswan, and Abu Simbel are famous for tombs and temples. Alexandria delivers catacombs, gardens, and Greco-Roman ruins. Best of all? A professional driver spares you the nation’s crazy traffic, while a guide lets you skip the research altogether.
