Amazing! Must do tour!
This tour was amazing! If Abu Simbel isnt reason enough, Ahmed sure is! Such a brilliant, passionate, humble soul. He took his time to ensure we all understood the history he shared. I loved the interactive brief on the way to the site, he had pictures with his stories that set the scene even before we arrived. That made digesting this significant wonder all the more easier. Even though it was a group tour he made space for each person individually, answered all our questions and engaged us in discussion. The sites are remarkable, they have been for millennia, but a great tour guide make the visit meaningful. Bonus: he takes great pics! Thanks Ahmed!

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.

An Unforgettable Day at the Pyramids
Saber was an outstanding guide! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire experience fun and stress-free. He shared the history in a way that was engaging, answered all of our questions, and made sure we had plenty of time for photos and to take it all in. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommend requesting Saber if you get the chance!

First Class Experience
Our guide Essam was the best tour guide I have had in my life. Patient, with expert knowledge, he packed information into small bites so that we could understand and remember what he taught. His enthusiasm for the subject was infectious.
Our driver, too, Ayman, was great ( and fun!), pointing out the best spots to take photos. Very careful driver. We felt very safe.

Very enjoyable tour with a great tour Guide Amr
On the day we were due to take this tour we were contacted and asked if we could defer to the following evening because the traffic was so bad because of a state visit. This actually suited us so we agreed. We were picked up as arranged the following evening by our tour guide Amr at our hotel. We then went on to pick up another guest, who truned out to be someone we got on well with. Amr was a great tour guide, fun and informative and suggested changes in the original itinerary to ensure we got the best out of our experience. He delivered our evening in a friendly but professional manner which we thoroughly enjoyed. Would definitely recommend this tour and partiuclarly our guide Amr.

A truly remarkable trip
The tour was simply amazing! Our driver was extremely accommodating of our delayed start, and the guide was very well versed with her knowledge of Egyptian history. She paid heed to all of our questions and requests very carefully! 10/10 would recommend!

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

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

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!

Our guide, Mario was very...
Our guide, Mario was very personable and knowledgeable and took the time to cover the material as well as our questions. Very informative tour that will encourage further study into the area. Many of the structures were simply awe-inspiring from within. Lovely tour!

I would highly recommend
Our guide, Isaac, and driver, Hamza, were both friendly and welcoming throughout the tour. Isaac was especially knowledgeable and incredibly accommodating, making sure we felt comfortable and informed at every stop.
We explored the rich history of Coptic and Islamic Cairo, visiting remarkable sites like the the Hanging Church and Mosque of Muhammad Ali. Isaac also kindly helped us capture memorable moments by taking photos along the way.

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.
