Terrible experience

This was a terrible tour. Picked up at my hotel intercontinental city stars. I had to chase to find out where my driver was. This guide was not a professionally qualified guide. We arrived one hour before 9 pm opening time of alazhar gardens. Had to wait. He had no knowledge of the history of the gardens. He was asking a lot of personal questions from time of pick up. Wanted to know about my business interests. The vehicle was old and unsafe and no seatbelts. We decided to short the trip before it even started. I am now insisting EMO tours refund my money, they have gone quiet on this. Beware of this tour operator.

Great Tour

This was an unbelievable cultural experience and one of the best tours of the city I have received. There was local food, local music, avoiding tourism spots and a really immersive experience. Sayed Mahmoud was an extremely knowledgeable tour guide and really made sure I was comfortable at all times. Great at taking photos. 10/10 would recommend for all English speakers.

El Moez Street and Al Azhar Day Tour in Cairo with Amr from Emo Tours

I had a amazing day with my private tour guide Amr and our driver on this tour. It started with a pick up at my hotel followed by a discovery of the old city, its Mosques market, famous coffee shop and an amazing lunch. After lunch we went to the large city park on top of a hill where you get a panoramic view of the city. This is the perfect tour to get a first glimpse at the beautiful and busy city of Cairo. I highly recommended this company for their professionalism and quality of service. Thanks for a great experience!

Cairo, the capital of 1.000 mosques: A Souks immersion in Holy Memlouks architecture!

A family visit to Cairo city center with my wife and 10 years old son was a fantastic experience. We booked the visit with EMO tours and our guide Haitham was caring and very knowledgeable, answering our questions and capturing the attention of our son on architectural and cultural details. Visiting AL Azhar large, beautifully maintained and rich park right after the souk was an opportunity to have a look over the city and share locals good time. Finally, we ended the tour in a buffet restaurant before being driven to the hotel. Well organized, knowledge rich and enjoyable, it's a MUST DO in Cairo!

The guide was patient, knowledgeable...

<p>The guide was patient, knowledgeable and kind. The contracted local agency was EMO, and I encourage VIATOR to keep hiring them. Excellent! The El Moez Street is amazingly filled with history and beautiful architecture, but I suggest this visit for the afternoon, and keep the park for the morning.</p>

Great Tour, Relaxing Park and Empowering Church Visit

Emo Tours Egypt offers captivating day tours, in particular, the El Moez Street and Al Azhar Park Day Tour Cairo. I love how Emo Tours was very understanding and accommodating with the last minute changes I wanted to make. I enjoyed a relaxing day in Al Azhar Park. Walking through the park, with guide Samar Mostafa, and taking beautiful photos of blooming flowers and the landscape, as the Cairo Citadel graced the background, was just what I needed to relish in Egyptian beauty before leaving the country. As a solo female traveler venturing in foreign lands I felt very safe and comfortable with a guide. Traveling with Egyptologist, guide Samar felt like traveling with a friend from back home. I also had an incredible opportunity to visit neighboring religious places of worship, (mosques, churches, and a synagogue) and to hear empowering stories about their resilient history in Cairo, Egypt. Being at the heart of the battlefield after the dust has settled is surreal. Walking around the sanctuaries really brings these holy books to life. It was truly a monumental experience definitely worth the pilgrimage from the United States. I was fortunate to find Emo Tours through Viator and STA Travel. It is important to be mindful of the weather, your clothing, and their customs. My sunhat, sunglasses, floor-length dress, scarf, and sun-protective sweat-absorbent clothing were very useful while traveling in Egypt during early August.
