Wonderful and memorable experience 😊

The tour was very awesome! We went to see the pyramids and even went close to the biggest one. The camel ride is a must do. The tour guide, Sayed Mahmoud, had given us informative facts. He was very nice to us and made sure that we enjoyed the tour. He took nice photos that will always remind us of our great experience. Ahmed, our driver, was always ready to pick us up and he even provided cold water in the middle of the day. They took us to a nice restaurant that served good food. They both made sure that we were comfortable the entire day. Will definitely recommend Emo Tours to our friends and family.

We went to the Pyramids, the Sphinx Statues, Camel ride, the old Cairo, the papyrus factory, had a wonderful lunch and, sailing in the Nile. I mentioned I like mangoes he made a stop and came back with a bag of mangoes, that was a nice touch. My husband and I highly recommend this tour operator.

Best tour ever!

My husband and I had the most amazing private tour with Mohammed Hamed, our tour guide. He was extremely welcoming and professional. He treated us like family. We went to see the Giza pyramids and learned a great deal about the history of the Kings and queens who they were built for. It is obvious that Mohamed is well educated and well spoken and did so with much enthusiasm! He also took us to see the Sphinx which was breath taking. He knew the perfect spot to take all of our photos. We could tell he genuinely loves doing what he does and always with a smile on his face. We also did the camel ride which I will never forget— was a little nervous but in the end want to do it again. The view of the pyramids on camels was magnificent. Mohamed was able to interpret for us with all the local people we came across which helped immensely. He also picked the most perfect lunch spot where we ate a large variety of authentic Egyptian foods — my favorite was the home made bread!! The atmosphere made for quite a memorable moment. We also went to some local shops and found a few items to take home with us. Mohamed was always so considerate of us and generous of himself and his time. We will use Emo Tours again when we come back and of course will request our new friend Mohamed Hamed💕thank you so much!!!!
