A great day exploring Cairo…

Steve_B, Aug 2025

We had an incredible day exploring the Pyramids, Sphinx and other spots. Mohamed Elsonni picked us up promptly and couldn’t have been better. Very friendly and kept us entertained with local Egyptian music. Our tour guide also excellent (name started with M) and very friendly and knowledgeable about everything. A couple of stops along the way to sell us on some Egyptian art and and perfume oils but didn’t feel pressured at all. Thanks for a great time and would highly recommend Emo Tours!

Fabulous Private Tour !!!

Excellent tour. Picked up outside port. Driver Mohammad was very good as was our guide Ahmed. Never felt unsafe going on our own and far better than being part of the 37 tour buaes lvg on Ship tour. Saw everything we wanted at our own pace and at a cost half the cruise ship price. Highly recommend.

5 ⭐️ Experience

Absolutely Fabulous! First class experience, Khalaf our guild was so knowledgeable about the history of each and every place we visited. Abdo our drive kept us safe and was always right there waiting for us when we were ready to go to the next destination. Highly recommend. Thank you for a wonderful experience

The Giza Plateau.

morroguy, Oct 2023

Our ship changed it's itinerary which through a wrench into our original booking. Emo's tour took it all in stride and altered the dates and times without complaint...even picking us up at 5:30 am and getting us back to our ship early. Mohammed and his driver were outstanding.

Growing pains - but worth the view!

Catherine_F, Oct 2023

This was to be the highlight of our cruise - the pyramids. After sitting in the small bus for over a hour and 20 minutes we finally started on our way. Marwan our guide apologized and said they were a brand new company and were still working out some things. (Emo Tours Egypt). The drive to Cairo from Alexandria is about 2 1/2 hours without a lot to see along the way. When we arrived at Giza, Marwan was full of information. It would have been great if he/the company had been able to pre-purchase our tickets as we had to stand around for at least 20 minutes since there was quite a line. But it was worth it in the end to see the pyramids and to learn about the history of their making. We had a fabulous lunch at an authentic Egyptian restaurant. We also visited a papyrus making shop. I think if you give this company a couple of months to work out a few things they will be great to tour with. Marwan was a wonderful tour guide. Note that you will have an armed escort with it at all times.

Glad we went to see Pyramids but more than annoyed by bait and switch

Marcie_G, Oct 2023

Pros. Knowledge guide. Knew schedule and what would work for us Cons: BAIT AND SWITCH. Reserved private tour. Several days before told small group and offered 10% discount or could cancel. Not fair! We had to spend more time at carpet shop and Papyrus “museum” aka store. If it was our private tour we wouldn’t have done at all. Guide knew English but hard to understand

Disappointed in the tour

Sherry_M, Sep 2023

This will be a mixed review. We booked a PRIVATE TOUR due to mobility issues and We prefer to go at our own pace. The day before the tour we got a message saying they had changed our tour to a group tour. They offered to give us a 10% discount or cancel the tour entirely. We did not have any other option to see the pyramids so we did the group tour. 2 people delayed the group (not us) and we wait Ted 1.5 hrs for them. Not happy but got to see the amazing pyramids!
