Strange feelings

We will only leave a good review of this trip because the agency was flexible and agreed to buy us tickets to the Egyptian Museum of Civilisation instead of the Saqqara Pyramids (which we have been to). Mohamed, the guide, has a poor knowledge of history. At the pyramids in Dahshur, we were just let go after saying a few sentences. The driver was very helpful but the car was too cramped for the three of us and the guide didn't make sure I was comfortable behind him. Why did a tour guide give money to a policeman at the Ramses II statue in Memphis, have we done something wrong? I felt uncomfortable seeing that.

We had a very good morning on this tour. Baher was our guide and mahmoud the driver. Both very attentive. Good explanations about the points of interest with space to take photos and tour the place. The price we found very convenient compared to the market. Highly recommended

Amazing day with tour guide showing Saqqara and Memphis!

Amazing. Saqqara and Memphis are not to be missed! Amazing tour. Attentive driver Ahmad and incredibly knowledgeable guide Hazem Anwar! Make sure you ask for them! Hazem even takes dozens of photos for you at the pyramids, wich is a great memory! Tour was fun and effective. Definitely recommend! And would never do Cairo without guides - harassment on tourists can be a bit overwhelming! But the country is totally worth it! With the right guides!

Not a good tour.

They arrived on time. The car had no A/C. Just a basic car. Drove through dusty and dirty areas with the windows down. Not pleasant. Our tour guide was elderly and not able to walk many areas. His english was not clear. He was hard to understand. We seen other tour guides that were walking with their clients and able to communicate with good diction in english. Our tour guide also tried to upsell us on many services, and it seemed like it was his mission to sell thinks. We do not recommend EMO company. It was not worth the time. It is better to hire a driver only. The tour guide was a mistake.

Pick up is not well...

Pick up is not well organize. We had to wait for somebody to pick us up at the hotel entrance and the person who arrived was alone in a small car with no tour identification sign He did not speak english came up alone and was not able to tell us where we were going to get the tour nor the guide. He just drove for more or less 30 minutes and we had no idea who he was nor where he was taking us. We were afraid and made him call someone from the tour company who assured us everything was fine and our guide was waiting for us. After we arrived to the guide everything worked good

Step and Bent pyramids.

It was a half day tour and our guide Pierre was very friendly. The tour highlighted the cities with different types of pyramids like the step and the bent pyramids. I would highly recommend taking a portable fan as it gets hot.

My best experience in Egypt was with Baher

Baher I appreciate the way you guided me and my family during my whole experience in Egypt. We went to different amazing places. I could get inside a big pyramid in Saqqara and visited the ancient streets of Egypt.
