Did not see all the announced churches and only 1 mosque (the oldest in Cairo); which was likely due to the traffic in Cairo and our mobility. However, we are satisfied with the tour guide.
Very interesting and informative tour. I appreciate the guides suggestions for modifying the itinerary.
This was our fourth and last tour in Cairo and we chose to visit Coptic & Islamic Cairo. Just few minutes into the tour and we felt uncomfortable with our guide yet we continued with the tour. Our guide Isaac, had a very unprofessional approach and an ego issue which was clearly shown in the way he spoke and managed the tour which took away from the experience. As tourist, the least we expect from a guide is Kindness and to look out for us as we depend on them when booking such expensive tours. Compared to all other amazing Cairo outings we did, sadly this was the only underwhelming experience of our Egypt Holiday.
Good day out with tasty buffet lunch. Knowledgeable guide and good driver. Recommended to see Coptic and Islamic sights in Cairo in relaxed atmosphere.
Super recommended! They were very punctual in the hotel pickup and our guide Hache did an incredible job, very attentive, explaining everything in detail, answering all our doubts and adapting the tour to all our proposals. We were delighted!
Wonderful time exploring the Mosques and Churches in Cairo. Ehab was more than knowledgeable in everything and very nice. Definitely will recommend Emo Tours and Ehab to all of my friends.

Adel Hakem was my guide and he was excellent. He is very cultured and knowledgeable; he explained to me a lot of information in detail and was very attentive and kind. I loved his explanations while we were in this historical areas, everything became more meaningful. The driver was also very good. Great day!
Dear our valued customer Thank you for your very kind review, we are happy to hear our customers feel taken care of every step of the process. See you soon in another tour. We hope to see you again soon ^_^ Best regards, Emo Tours Egypt
Such a pleasant experience and truly private tour. The driver Mohamed and my tour guide Ahmed Tonsi arrived on time and were ready to start the day with a smile and a bag full of goodies as promised. The car was clean and comfortable. Ahmed explained the plan for the day and adjusted our stops as we needed to. He managed the pace at each location dependant on my interests. He conducted the tour in both Arabic and English as I am a speaker of both languages. Ahmed was very experienced and provided additional info on other attractions as we drove past them. As I had no interest in shopping in Khan al khalili, we stopped to grab a hot drink and moved on quickly for a walk down Al Moez as I was more interested to see this historic street. Thank you very much for a great experience.
An awesome day spent with Sayed Mahmoud touring around Coptic and Islamic Cairo. We learnt so much from Sayed his knowledge is incredible. He made us feel so welcome & couldn’t do enough for us. Highly recommend Emo Tours & in particular Sayed as a tour guide.
