I attended this tour with my family. I have booked many tours worldwide but the service received from Emo Tours was terrible and would not recommend this tour provider. The guide was pleasant enough and knowledgeable but the service received from the operations depends from Emo tour was unacceptable and would certainly not recommend the fully inclusive option, which is misleading. There are many tour providers in Egypt that offer this tour and I would highly recommend you book through them.
Driver was very nice pick us just on time. Car was clean. But the most important is our tour guide Julia. She was just amazing. Very nice person with fluent English. Explained everything and gave us a lot of time to explore. Definitely will book with this company again.
Our guide Hadija was excellent, provided her deep knoweledge of history. She was really explainable and friendly.she made the whole experience unique.
Excellent visit in the company of Karim, a top notch guide. He answered all our questions, taught us everything important and let us take our time. I recommend +++.
Overall tour was just fine. Our tour guide was very nice and flexible with the tour. He went beyond expectations making sure the bazaar people didn’t take too big advantage of us. Overall, price did not necessarily match the experience considering it was the same cost as going to the pyramids. Would recommend if you have multiple days in Cairo and have felt like you seen the other great sites and museums.
A guided tour to several places of Islamic interest in Cairo including the Cairo bazar. Mohammed, the guide was extremely knowledgeable and helpful and made the tour a memorable experience!
The period was 4 hours (period we booked) and we didnt manage to see the Market(s) and Al Azhar Mosque.
Elarya proved to be an excellent tour guide, providing informative insights into the Islamic Cairo Mosques. Later, she skillfully guided us through the bazaar, helping us find the best-priced souvenirs.
We had a driver only experience and, even then, the driver (mohammed) was very very informative and became our very knowlegable guide. He had a great attitude and punctuality was great! He is a true asset to your company.
It was an amazing experience. Aahsaam tour guide was superb. Very helpful polite and made it a very enjoyable experience for us. He was very knowledgeable, attentive and catered to what we wished for. Highly recommended this tour and Aaahsaam as a guide I’m a very happy customer
