Exactly what we wanted

Driver was on time, though we did try to push back our start time a little as our travel plans had been severely screwed up due to flight delays (received no response from company). Regardless, he was pleasant, not overly chatty and took us everywhere we wanted to go. Though we did not want or need a guide, a suggestion would be for the driver to provide some basic information about which tickets should be purchased based on what you want to see. For example, at Saqqara there are several ticket options with no explanation on the price board. We took a guess and did not purchase the correct ticket for all we wanted to visit and had to turn around to go back to the ticket office (which seemed to annoy our driver slightly). If he had asked us prior which things we wanted to visit and then advised us which ticket to get that would have been really helpful. This is no way ruined our experience and I would still recommend this service. We were not rushed and got to explore each place freely which is what we wanted.

Great

Emo Tours was very helpful and taking care of my details and even arranged my pcr test at my hotel. Ahmed Elsayed was a very knowledgeable and patient guide and took his time to explain me the history and make me comfortable and all times. Mónica

Amazing! Thank you EMO Tours Egypt!

Amazing trip, must if you're interested in learning more about the Egyptian History and seeing the oldest pyramids! Our tour guide Sayed Mahmoud knew so much, so it was so precious to hire Emo Tours, wouldn't recommend going without them honestly, the experience is much richer with them as your guide. If you're interested to see my adventures, including our trip to Dahshur, Sakkara and Memphis with Emo tours, look me up on Youtube: Nadira Ramautarsing and you will find all my Egypt vlogs including more travel tips!

A day I will never forget!

What a huge pleasure meeting Noha and Essam during my visit to Saqqara, Memphis and Dahshour. Noha, it’s pretty impressive how much knowledge you have about Egyptian culture. I’m amazed! Lucky I am I had you as my tour guide so I could learn a lot and become even more fascinated about this amazing country, which is the origin of the human kind. Thanks for bringing me to every small part of these amazing monuments and also for explaining every beautiful detail of the complex and very interesting Egyptian history. Thanks to Essam for being such an amazing professional, always on time and in a good mood, with a beautiful smile on his face. I hardly recommend them to every tourist who wants to come to Egypt and I can guarantee everyone will have the best time there, just like I did! Additionally, special thanks to Emo Tours Egypt! I’m so glad I met you and your amazing team of workers! God bless you all and I hope to see you again soon!

Perfect tour (Meya Meya!)

We are two girls from Greece who did the Memphis, Sakkara and Dahshur tour. Our guide was Islam and our driver Ahmed. Islam was excellent and very friendly. We learned a lot from him. He had a very interesting and fun way of explaining the Egyptian history, which made us keep it in our memory. He was also very helpful and it was like being with a friend. The tour was perfect. We had plenty of time to do whatever we wanted and enjoy our time there. First we went to Dahshur Pyramids and went inside the red pyramid. Islam will recommend you which pyramid you should go inside. Second stop was Memphis city. Last stop was Sakkara, where we went inside the temple and the pyramid. Last but not least, our favorite driver Ahmed! We were with him in every tour from emo tours and we are very happy for that. Thank you for the great service and the fun we had together. He is the best dj and driver in town hahahah. Shukran Ahmed! P.S. Don't sleep during the ride. Look out at the fields of palm trees and the beautiful scenery. Best wishes, Despoina and Eirini Demertzi

I had my tour with Maged Elbehairy tour guide and Essam is the Driver who were both exceptionally hospitable.

The pyramids and the Museum was excellent. So much to see and some much history to talk about. Found Maged’s suggestions. Very helpful, with a great degree of knowledge regarding the different dynasty’s and providing accurate information also stating different historical theories on information not know rather than some maybe making up facts to appease tourists. Overall I was very happy and exceeded my expectations greatly.
