Our guide was not as knowledgable as other guides we had while in Egypt which was a real bummer (he didn't know any of the dates, etc). Also when they picked us up they told us we were just going to the Giza Pyramids even though the description includes the step pyramids and Memphis. It took a good 30 minutes going back and forth and the guide on the phone with his management until he agreed with the description of the tour. If I could redo it I would pay for something more expensive hoping for a better guide.

This is such an amazing and useful tour. We covered too much and learnt a lot about Egyptian ancient time in just a day!

If you are ever in Egypt and want to take a tour please contact Emo Tours!! Our tour guide Haitham was the best!! Our driver Fares was an outstanding driver!! The traffic / driving conditions in Giza/ Cairo was unorganized and chaotic. Despite all of that Fares was able to maneuver through the chaos without compromising our safety!! Haitham had so much patience with us and answered All of our questions! Haitham and Fares went over and beyond the call of duty for us!! Haitham also assisted by taking pictures for me! I mentioned to Haitham I wanted to buy some perfume and a cartouche and they took us to Topaz Bazaar and Alfayed Perfume Companywhich was not part of our tour! For lunch we went to El Dar Darak the food was delicious and the entire staff was outstanding! I can't say enough about Haitham and Fares they exceeded our expectations!! I must say they made our trip memorable! My companion and I went to Egypt alone and we became friends with Haitham and Fares!! When we come back to Egypt we will request our dynamic duo again!!!

This was an incredible tour, we had the best guide Samra who was fantastic to travel with. She provided immense knowledge on everything Egyptian and answered all our questions as well helped fend off unwanted 'souvenir' vendors. Prompt pickup at our hotel, were taken to a great local place where we had an outstanding lunch and took care of all our needs at each site. This is by far one of the best experiences we have had while abroad. Highly recommend everyone doing this tour, it is a must do. Ask for Samra who speaks Arabic, English, French, Spanish and learning Chinese! We could not have had a better experience, a private tour is the way to go as you can dictate the schedule and time taken at each site as well as navigate these attractions with much more ease than the big tour groups.
Well done EMO tours!

Perfection! Emo Tours in Cairo is honestly one of the best tour companies, everything we booked with them went super smoothly and without a hitch. Ismail was our tour guide, he did an amazing job and my husband loved how knowledgeable he was. We paid extra to go inside the Great Pyramid as it is not part of the tour but it is well worth it to go inside - super tiring though. The camel ride to the panoramic view of the pyramids was amazing!

Ahmed was a fantastic guide and very helpful. We would highly recommend this tour again, we saw a lot of stuff and he even acted as our personal photographer!

Wonderful tour of the pyramids! Emo Tours provided the tour and they were great! Communication, pick up, tour and drop off back to our Cairo hotel went very smooth. "H" was our guide and he was great- friendly, knowledgeable and reliable. We had an amazing time with many good memories!

I landed in Cairo en route to Ireland making a stop over for a couple of days to see the great Egyptian Pyramids
I had booked a private whole day trip prior to landing in Cairo.
So Friday morning - a holiday in Cairo, I was pleasantly surprised to see my travel guide approach me in the lobby as I sat having my morning tea, 15 minutes earlier than my scheduled 8:00 am departure times
The tour of Cairo was incredible! An experience to behold and cherish! The Pyramids, the Sphinx ,The Statues...
In this respect this was a wonderful tour ... no regrets and I would highly recommend Cairo as a destination!
But this review is not merely about the city and the tour.
It is dedicated to a service - and the quality of it - to the likes of my guides Osama and his driver buddy Mido !
If I was a first time traveller to Cairo I would insist on these two, to being my guide! In fact when and if I do visit Cairo again I will insist on and use only the services of the duet - Osama - Mido to be my guide yet again !
Osama was amazingly friendly knowledgable and pleasant guy and he and his colleague Mido (who was fasting - it was the month of Ramadan)) who sat patiently behind the wheels driving this fairly new air condition car, regaled me with the amazing history of this great civilization... not just regular common historical stuff but minute interesting details,
En route as we neared the pyramids we stopped briefly as I wanted to get some great pictures from afar and he took some great pictures of me with the pyramids / monuments in the background
This apart, he went out of his way, on my request, to take me to buy a carpet in an outskirt of Cairo entroute to the Ramses Statue in Memphis...
After I had bought the carpet I casually asked his if he would have received any commission for the sale!
I was pleasantly surprised and more so the happier, with his honesty, when he replied in the affirmative
How many tour guides have any one of us come across who are this honest - for me it was the first !
But it was however when my tour came to an end, that i just could not believe the levels of fair play and again honesty that I experienced as a first timer in a new city ...i
At the hotel, as I alighted from the car and Osama bid me well, he turned to me with 400 Egyptian pounds in his hand saying " Sir, this is what I owe you back and would like to return to you ..... its the left over amount from the lunch you chose not to have and of the entrance ticket to a site you chose not to visit, hence the balance ....."
Has anyone , experienced such honesty from a tour guide before!
He was not obliged to return these monies to me...... especially since I was the one who chose not to have the lunch and I was the one who chose to cancel the visit to a site which required an entrance fee.... but he did!
I smiled , thanked him and asked him to keep the amount - my small and humble way of thanking him for an excellent tour!
So here is my thanks again yet again Osama and Mido, I made two new friends in Cairo - I shall be back!
You guys have done your country Egypt proud!
Until then have fun, carry on the good work, continue spreading your goodwill !

Excellent driver and guide! They were exceptional!

I can't recommend this tour highly enough. I had a great time, and Mahmoud Hoka was the best guide ever. He was super knowledgable, and he was very in tune with exactly what interested me. As soon as he realized I enjoyed photography, he showed me all the best spots to get a good shot, and took me to places he thought I'd enjoy based on the photos I was taking. He also took tons of photos for me, which was great since I was traveling alone. He's an amazing photographer, too. The thing that impressed me most was how courteous and kind he was to every single person we encountered. No wonder he seemed to have friends everywhere we went. Other highlights: pickup from my apartment right on time, a snack, a trip entirely tailored to my tastes, great sights. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!
Careena_S, Mar 2017
Our tour guide Osama was absolutely amazing! He knew the history of the sites and provided us with a lot of information. We felt very safe on our day trip which was tailored exactly to what we wanted to do. And spent enough time at each of the sites. Definitely would use them again!

the Agency EMO was BRILLIANT!
We originally booked only a full day tour - but ended up doing so many other tours with them since they were really good completely professional - hoisting done by the guides was top notch !
Shimaa was PERFECT on our Day Tour of Luxor - She was super knowledgable, respectful of the limited time we had to see as much as possible. She even had her own Birthday that day - but took us around the city to see all the sights.. Cared for us like her children hahahah and not once did she interrupt anything she was doing for us to look after herself. Unbelievably fantastic guide and fully recommended. she was just the best! so trustworthy and capable - we felt completely at ease in a strange city - but under her care!
The next two days we were with Heba in Cairo and she was equally brilliant. Sweet, intelligent, articulate and very passionate about her position and the responsibility she had to get things right. She gave in and let us eat 'local' hahahaha on the 2nd day instead of the prepared restaurant .. she even bought us a flower each from a street vendor on the last day to say a personal 'thank you. Small gesture but it meant miles!
EMO tours were really fantastic ! super easy to arrange with, handle payment with and just relax and enjoy since they took the heat off and made everything happen ! no request was too big or too small ... and I would NOT hesitate to steer others in their direction - let them arrange it all - they were the BEST!
thank you thank you thank you! Egypt ticked off the bucket list!

It was good to see the Great pyramids.
To ride a camel was good too. but I think it was very expensive to ride a camel.
Reetesh S, Feb 2017
The tour was great. I was with my 5 year old daughter and wasnt sure if everything will work out well, but my tour guide Ola made me really memorable. She had very good knowledge of all monuments and explained in the details that made things interesting for a 5 year old.
She was always willing to carry her as well when she got tired with all the walk around Pyramids.Ola also understood me being a vegetarian and took me to restaurants that had variety of veg choices including kosher meals
A great experience, took almost 8 hours , and really worth it.
Shakeel A, Jan 2017
Emo Tours offered the best service while we were in Cairo. They were very reasonably priced and our guide Mahmoud Hoka was certified Egyptologist who gave us the best tour narration. Their van was comfortable, made additional stops for shopping and honored our request to take us to a local restaurant to for lunch to try something local. We highly recommend Emo tours and our guide Hoka for all your tours and reservations
Alexis C, Jan 2017
Highly Highly Highly recommended!!!!! My guide who I nicknamed the professor really knew his stuff. He showed me everything I wanted to see. I had 100 trust in him when he was showing me around and I felt like he wasn't trying to sell me anything while on the trip. If your seeing this, book this tour! They are also very flexible!
Vigneswaran_C, Dec 2016
This was without doubt the highlight of my trip to Egypt and Cairo. My guide Sahl was the best, he made sure we were completely comfortable with everything right from the point of pick up until drop off at the end of the day. The great pyramids were the highlight, so was visiting the earliest pyramids as well as the brilliant lunch. We requested for a later lunch so that we could have it while watching the sun set over the pyramids- a rare scene indeed. One of the most unforgettable days in my life. The magic of the pyramids still has an effect on me.
Ryan_N, Nov 2016
This was just the tour I was looking for, covering most of the places I wanted to see. My private guide Ahmed Fayed was great. Being on the tour with him was more like being with a friend who just happened to be knowledgeable about Egypt's history. Would definitely recommend.
Steffane C, Mar 2016
Going and visiting Cairo and Giza has never been more easy! As a solo traveler, Ahmed Fayed did a fantastic guided tour from Memphis to the Great Pyramids. He was very knowledgable and passionate about his job and showed care and appreciation for the history behind Egypt. Highly recommended!

Noi abbiamo avuto la fortuna di trascorrere un giorno bellissimo con la nostra guida Omar e il driver Maher . Non posso che consigliare questa agenzia e in particolare la nostra guida Omar che è stato molto professionale , esperto e gentile.
Omar e Maher ci sono venuti a prendere alle 8.00 del mattino come precedentemente riconfermato il giorno prima a Emo Tours .
La macchina era molto pulita e il driver Maher una persona matura e squisita ci ha accompagnato e rimasto ad aspettare per tutta la durata del tour . Ci siamo sentite molto a nostro agio in quanto è molto prudente e guida molto bene.
Tengo a precisare che Omar è stato molto onesto e non è per niente il tipo di guida che porta solo dove gli conviene .
Abbiamo visitato la piramide a gradoni di Sakkara , Menfi ed infine le piramidi a Giza e devo dire che abbiamo passato una giornata fantastica .
Consiglio di visitare il Cairo e se con Emo Tours sarà ancora più bello!
