Very convenient, friendly, fun and photogenic

Ehren_B, Nov 2025

Sadam was so jovial, guided us through things knowingly, was our fun photographer, then took us to an essential oils place that my wife loved and a spice dealer. Overall, we loved our guide and are pleased with the value. But, if you're on a budget, don't need transportation or a translator or a photographer and know the history of the Giza Plateau, you can do this without a guide.

My tour guide Hola, and my driver Abdul were the ABSOLUTE BEST. I swear I have never had such a great tour experience. Words cannot even begin to express the great service they both provided. If I could give them 100 stars I would and I am hard to impress.

Efficient pickup and informative guide. We got picked up on time from our hotel and were able to choose what places we want to see and spend how much time we spend at those places

Our guide Amr Aswany made the experience very memorable, was super knowledgable, took care of everything and made us comfortable and relaxed. Amr pyra-made our day. Thanks for the great day and photos! Hannah + Joe 🐪 🐪

Abdul at EMO is the man!

Colin_L, Mar 2022

Our guide, Abdul, looked after us for two days. He was prompt, courteous and knowledgeable. The car and driver we’re excellent and we felt absolutely safe. The car arrived on time and clearly the driver knew the quickest routes around. Saved £ when compared to our tour operators and had no group to contend with. Abdul ensured we had time where we wanted it, ate local food, got good deals and even took pictures of us so we could avoid the dreaded selfies. A bonus was the car was allowed on the Giza plateau so we were chauffeured around in comfort. I cannot recommend EMO tours highly enough. Thank you for helping us make fabulous memories.

Great tour

A ne pas manquer

Excellent tour guidée. Les pyramides sont impressionnantes et chargées d'histoire, il ne faut pas passer à côté. J'ai visité la grande pyramide c'est une experiance unique, attention clostrophobe et personne avec douleur lombaires, s'abstenir !! J'ai eu la chance de faire ce circuit en anglais avec Hamid, mon guide, une personne d'une extrême gentillesse , avec des connaissances incroyable sûr l'Egypte ancienne et actuelle. Il est aussi très drôle et excellent photographe, j'ai beaucoup apprécié sa compagnie et le recommandé vivement si vous parlez anglais.
