I had an incredible experience visiting the Pyramids and the Sphinx thanks to our guide, Sayed Mahmoud. From the very beginning he was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the history of the area. He explained everything in a really engaging way, sharing fascinating details about the pyramids, ancient Egyptian history, and the surrounding sites that we would never have learned on our own. What made the experience even more special was how thoughtful and patient he was throughout the tour. He made sure we had enough time to enjoy each location and answered all our questions with enthusiasm. He also helped take so many amazing photos for us — and he clearly knows all the best angles and spots around the pyramids and the Sphinx! Thanks to him we have some truly unforgettable pictures from the trip. Said made the whole visit feel relaxed, fun, and very memorable. If you’re visiting the pyramids, I would absolutely recommend touring with him. Thank you, Sayed for such a wonderful day and for helping create such great memories!
Our lovely guide Asmaa was fabulous at telling us all about the pyramids and she was so caring and gentle with my son. He became upset during the trip and she gave him a little token gift to cheer him up. She was patient and hospitable I can’t praise her highly enough. The pyramids and sphinx were amazing.
Great tour with a very knowledgeable tour guide Sayed Mahmoud and excellent driver Mohammad. Definitely will recommend Emo tour to friends coming to Egypt. Both were very kind and accommodating. Big thanks to you guys we really enjoyed our tour.
Had a wonderful tour to Cairo city tour along with pyramid and sphinx complex and the grand Egyptian museum. The guide was fluent in English and was very helpful. Emo tours also booked the sleeper train tickets for aswan. The guide for was in the alexandria trip was a person named Osama who was extremely helpful and jovial young guy. We had left the papyrus in some outlet and he took so much of an extra effort to get the papyrus recovered and personally delivered to us before our flight take off. Overall a very nice experience with emp tours. Mr Torky is very accessible and helpful guy. Definitely recommend.
Sayed Mahmoud was amazing! He went out of his way to make sure we did everything and more for our one day in Cairo! Would highly recommend:))
