Phenomenal experience with Mona

The trip was wonderful, our guide Mona was extremely passionate and knowledgeable. We did a similar tour a few years ago and it cannot be compared how much better it was this time!! The pickup, the careful questions and the lunch was all part of our enhanced Cairo experience. We are very very satisfied and suggest everyone book this tour instead of the other ones as it makes a huge difference! Thank you!!!!!!!

We have had a wonderful...

We have had a wonderful day with several amazing stops. At every stop, very nice family pictures were taken, and the guide made sure we were or the first at a site or that we did not have any interruptions from other groups. Due to the morning fog, the guide changed schedule to make sure we had amazing views of the big pyramids in the afternoon when weather was clear.

Disappointing

The person on the phone lied to us that pyramids open at 8 am. We had to insist on 6 am pick up. Were there at 7 am and had a wonderful visit. But it would have been bad if we had listened to the person on the WhatsApp line. The trip to saggara was short... and the side-trip to a perfume "factory" and a spice shop was pointless.

Pyramids, old and new, in a day

We covered a lot but the pace was fine and the guide painted a clear picture of the timeline and who built what when. Flexible to my request for a Camel 🐪 ride, (my guide negotiated a great price), and encouraged me to squeeze into the tight inner pyramid corridors. I'm so glad he did. Brilliant day!

Giza Sakkara Dahsur Memphis Day Tour

We had booked the day tour months in advance incl guide, lunch, tickets, entrance to the great pyramid, entrance to Serrapeum Sakkara. The day of departure we were told that the tour would not start at 8am but at 9am. No one seen after 10am. With the help of the hotel receptionist we could arrange for a driver but no guide, no lunch and no tickets. One would pay me back a part for that but I have not received any mail, wapp or money.

The guide and the driver made the tripe!

Michael our guide has an impressive knowledge of the history of Egypt and the pyramids. He also shared many interesting historical facts about Cairo and Egypt in general, which made the tour even more enriching. Our driver, Mr. Amer, was very friendly and kind. He knows Cairo well and always took the fastest and safest routes to our destinations. It was also a pleasure to talk with him about everyday life in Cairo — he gave me a nice glimpse into the local culture. Thanks

Dahshyr

Baher treated us great and took us to all the places with a lot of knowledge about the destinations and a very mastered, very intelligent Spanish and has studied Egyptology, treated us unbeatable, with a lot of charisma and Spanish expressions, kindness and good treatment. He is also fluent in other languages such as Italian and English, so we recommend him 100%. If you can, arrange as many tours as you can with him.

Fantastic Experience

We had an excellent experience with Emo Tours. The booking process was seamless, and their tour portfolio is impressive. The company is extremely attentive and punctual, which made a big difference in our trip. Our guide, Reham (Lluvia), was outstanding. She speaks fluent Spanish, is incredibly kind and knowledgeable about the history of the places we visited. She answered all our questions and even provided us with a customized private tour that we had requested. I also appreciated how Reham helped us navigate the tourist areas and protected us from potential scams or vendors. Her guidance made us feel safe and confident throughout our trip. I would highly recommend Reham and Emo Tours to anyone looking for a reliable and exceptional tour experience.
