A fantastic one-on-one...

David_R, Feb 2026
A fantastic one on one tour! The guide I had was Sayed Amin, and he answered all my questions and educated me on a lot things I wasn’t aware of and made the trip wonderful I didn’t have to worry about a thing he even took some the best photos.

Great Tour

Robert_H, Feb 2026
Hossam Gamal was our guide and he was outstanding. He is very passionate and knowledgeable on Egypt history and the museum. He wants to show you everything but at the same time listens to you and adjust the tour with more or less information based upon your input. He also does the Pyramids Tour. If you are booking the tour I strongly recommend you ask for him as your guide

Driver/ Guide showed up...

Mehul_S, Feb 2026
Driver/ Guide showed up on time and full day of exploration of pyramids. The great pyramid entrance was not included but the guide showed us where to get the tickets and waited till we finished. Everything went well and spoke good English.

Don’t use this services

Ahmad_R, Jan 2026
Menna was the guide and below is the feedback Good things 1)On time 2) English language Bad things 1)Not explaining as a guide for pyramid,Sakkara pyramid.Not went inside with us in pyramid. 2)concentrating us to take to different shops for margin cut and wasted our time.without consulting us and kind of forcing us to see (politely) E.g : perfume shops/painting shops/jewellery shops

Great experience

Ronald_C, Jan 2026
It was a great day filled with awesome sights. Didn't care for the shopping stops, but those seem to come with most excursions.

Guide not knowledgeable and more interested in shopping

Ria_M, Dec 2025
We found the tour less focussed on history and more on shopping. Our guide Ahmed did not know much about the historical sites and was rushing us from one site to the other. He was keen to take us the various shops. It was not a good experience.

No Show

Sarah_M, Dec 2025
Guide / driver never arrived. Now I have to waste my time fighting for a refund, if its even possible.

Great Experience

Kimberly_S, Nov 2025
Great experience, guide was excellent and extremely knowledgeable. Wear comfortable shoes, stay hydrated

Horrible dont use Emo Tours via Viator

kulwinder_s, Nov 2025
I booked numerous excursions through viator with minimal issues. I had a tour booked for Luxor sites through viator. The tour operator did not show up at 8 am as promised . Zero communication. I called the tour operator and emailed no response. I called viator help desk and they tried to get in contact with the tour operator with no success. They then informed me that I would get a refund. The tour operator contacted me an hour later and said they were at the hotel. I said its an hour late with no communication so I left. Now viator will not issue refund as they said the tour operator did not approve it. Makes no sense. First they dont show up then refuse refund and Viator who I paid sends me an email refusing refund eventhough I sent them all the information and call chats proving the tour operator was an hour late and apologetic. NEVER USE VIATOR AS IF ISSUE THEY SEND YOU A AUTOMATED EMAIL

Response from Host, Nov 2025

We are not emo Tours We are Let's Explore Egypt

Exceptional service

Shivam_H, Nov 2025
Amazing experience- special thanks to Mohanmed Emad for this amazing experience. Had a brilliant day

Full day of seeing antiquities

Wayne_W, Nov 2025
I had a wonderful time on this excursion. I got to visit all of the sites listed and my guide was very knowledgeable. We quickly entered the Giza Necropolis without be hounded by scammers. I feel having a private guide for this part of the excursion made the entire cost worthwhile The only issue I had, and this was very early in the tour, was being hounded by my camel driver for more and more tips. He wanted US currency, not Egyptian. I finally gave him $20 so he would leave me alone. That is not the tour company's fault, just a precaution to other travelers.

Not a great tour experience

Anne_C, Oct 2025
Our guide did.not impart much history or knowledge to us and took the shortest route to see the pyramids. We felt we learned more from the signs then our guide.

Day trip in Cairo

Michael_M, Oct 2025
The tour gives an overall view of many historical sites in and around Cairo/Giza. The VIP tour is private and you’ll be with a guide and driver. The tour does include stops to see local rug and papyrus making with sales pitches. I chose to forego the lunch so I do not know if that’s worth it or not. In the heat of the day, the tour can be very tiring. Entrance to several sites will require moving in tight confined spaces so keep that in mind. I recommend this experience, the company uses WhatsApp to communicate so make sure you download if you don’t have it. Hotel pick up was prompt and I did not experience any delays.

Scammer Tour Operator — Do Not Book This Tour!

Nishant_S, Oct 2025
We had an absolutely horrible experience with Bassam Wageih Tour Operator (Operator of this tour). We booked our tour through Viator, but received no pickup details at all — not even until our scheduled pickup time! We kept messaging the operator through Viator, but they completely ignored our messages. Finally, after reaching out to Viator support, they gave us the operator’s phone number. When we tried calling, no one answered. Out of desperation, we sent a WhatsApp message to the number, where someone finally replied — only to ask for our booking reference and then casually tell us to reschedule the tour for the next day! We had been waiting since morning in our hotel lobby, wasting hours, only to be told this at the end. Our entire day’s plan was ruined, and since we were leaving Cairo the next day, we never even got to take the tour. This was an unprofessional, irresponsible, and completely unacceptable experience. I would seriously warn anyone considering booking with this tour — don’t do it unless you want your day and travel plans ruined. Feels like a complete scam!

Great Tour

SandipPrasad_P, Sep 2025
Sam was a great guide. He was patient and just made the whole tour enjoyable. Soft spoken but great understanding of history. The tour was long but we enjoyed every bit of it.

Too many unscheduled stops wasting your time

Alisher_D, Sep 2025
The guide is good, friendly and helpful and the driver is excellent…but the tour wastes too much of your time doing unscheduled stops which are of low quality and interest and with expectation you buy stuff. Let’s count them: cotton shop, perfume shop, souvenir shop, papyrus shop, spices shop and carpet shop. I did first four but then I got fed up and told the guide I am not doing the other two. When you book a “VIP” private tour you expect to go through the itinerary - and not to visit six shops which frankly you can buy any of these items in the Khalili market and cheaper too. Besides the point, I book itinerary - I expect to receive the itinerary and not a shopping tour. I am sorry for the somewhat harsh review but the tour does not correspond to what is being marketed and whilst I paid over £100 for the tour and paid a £25 tip to the guide and the driver it could have been a lot better You get rushed through the stops in the itinerary because at least 2 hours of your time is wasted in these shops.

Book this tour

Thomas_S, Sep 2025
Book this tour with Sam. He was exceptionally knowledgeable, pleasant, and patient. He eliminated any concerns from people bothering you and let you take your time at each location. He arranged an amazing driver. Best part of the trip to Egypt by far.

Great tour today!

Beatriz_M, Jun 2025
Sam was a great knowledgeable guide. He was very attentive and was always concerned about how much we were enjoying our time. The driver Mina was really helpful and kind. We visited great sites in Cairo. His choice for lunch was delicious. We also got to do a little local shopping. Very happy and satisfied with the tour today.

Excellent tour, great tour guide

John_J, May 2025
This VIP All inclusive Best of the best Giza Pyramids,Sakkara,Memphis tour was excellent. What made it a 5+ star tour was our tour guide Gamal. He took us to excellent special sites not on the itinerary that we truly loved. Gamal was extremely knowledgeable in his field of Egyptian history and explained everything well. I highly recommend this tour and hopefully Gamal is your tour guide.

Memorable Giza Experience

Vidyutkumar_K, May 2025
Great tour and very well plan by guide. Our tour guide was Lydia from Let’s Explore Egypt company and she covered all the attractions by providing sufficient time at each location and enough details. Car driver was also very cooperative and with good attitude. 100 % recommended tour. Lunch option was also great and guide also didn't push for any unnecessary shopping spots.

It was an awesome tour...

David_B, May 2025
It was an awesome tour and excellent in every way. Our guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating.

Great time on the Giza Plateau

Kelly_h, May 2025
The sites and views were incredible. It was overwhelming being surrounded by so much history. My guide Haidy was amazing!!!

Disappointing experience with the tour guide.

Anjali, May 2025
Our guide on the tour was Ahmed Elsayed. While we enjoyed the places we visited and the tour guide was knowledgeable, we left feeling cheated by him. There were other much cheaper tour options but we took this one because at $210 for two people, it was all inclusive. Ahmed told us that the tickets only covered the site fees and we would have to pay out of pocket for all entrance tickets into Giza and the other pyramids, the Spinx and the Valley Temple. He told us to buy entrance tickets to Sakkara pyramid and said that Giza would cost us a lot more and was pretty much the same and very crowded. He discouraged us and said we would be claustrophobic inside and it would be hard to bend and walk. We believed him and missed out on experiencing and seeing these from the inside. He ended up pocketing all the entrance fees to all these places. He stopped by the side of the road for us to take pictures of the Spinx and when we asked to see it and the Valley Temple, he again told us that the entrance fees were not included in the tour and would be extra. I confirmed afterwards with Viator that this was completely untrue and all enteance tickets were included. The tour also included lunch at a nice restaurant overlooking the pyramids. Ahmed told us that the food there wasn’t good and they didn’t have any choices and that he could take us to a nicer restaurant instead. He ended taking us to a local, nondeascript place which we did not like and would never have picked. All in all, while we have had good experience in the past with Viator and would continue using them, we left feeling cheated by the local guide. I would urge Viator to be clear and clarify in the tour description what exactly is included and what is not so that nothing is left to imagination and interpretation and other tourists don’t fall prey to guides like Ahmed Elsayed.

Great and very complete pyramids and memphis tour

AnaLucia_T, Apr 2025
Our guide Ahmed Gaber was incredible. He had great knowledge about egyptian history (we learned a lot!) and he took us to the best spots at the pyramids (Saqqara and Giza) and Memphis. He also takes great photos. Driver Hany was safe and always trying to please us. However, the car wasn’t great (it had AC though). It had no seat belts in the back, which was the only negative fact to point out.

Cairo Piramides tour

awie_M, Apr 2025
Insightful tour. Background history of piramides well explained. Do not miss Sakkara/Giza/Memphis. History comes to life

Fantastic experience!!

Meara_S, Apr 2025
Ali is the best guide we have ever had!!! He is knowledgeable about Egyptian history, has hands on experience, passion and is also funny. Although I was very tired for n so much travelling and heat, Ali provided us with a really wonderful guided tour. Could not give a higher recommendation!!

Great experience

Destiny_B, Apr 2025
Tour guide was wonderful. Very informative, took great pictures and .ade sure our day was the best day. I would recommend over and over.

Amazing!

Jan_G, Apr 2025
It was an incredible tour. It was private, and so we had a lot of flexibility and there was no rush. Our guide, Ahmed Elsayed, is such a brilliant man. He educated us so much about Egypt and all the places he took us to. He took time to explain everything, and we felt his passion in his craft. Our driver, Tawfeq, took safe care of us around Cairo’s busy roads. One of the best tours!

Very bad experience, they didnot pick up me and We coudnot contact anyone for support and now I waiting for refund proce

sirivit_p, Apr 2025
