Catered tour with great guide. Just what we wanted

This was booked last minute so we were a little short on time. Fady made sure that we visited the places that we wanted to go. He was very knowledgeable, very friendly and very helpful. The driver was also very friendly and stopped if we wanted to take a picture. This tour was much quieter and much more personal. Would definitely recommend

Wonderful Guide & Efficient Driver made the day trip to the Sakkara, Dahshur Pyramids & Memphis a lifetime experience

Menna our guide and her highly efficient driver treated us to an amazing 6 hours journey going back in time reliving the history and magnificent sights of the Sakkara , Dahshur Pyramids and surrounding areas plus the former capital of Egypt Memphis . Her extensive knowledge nearly brought the places and people back to life This was rounded off by a magnificent meal at a restaurant overlooking the Giza Pyramids .

The best tour I made in...

The best tour I made in Egypt (jan. 2026). My driver Eid was patient, helpful and nice. If you read something about Saqqara and Dahshur you can definitely spare your guide. Buy the all-inclusive ticket + pyramid, and you can spend all your time in saqqara. We skipped Menphis and in Dahshur just visited the red pyramid.

Great choice!

The tour went very well, Ibrahim the driver arrived even 5 minutes ahead of the agreed time. He drove well, always kind and accompanied us to all the places of the itinerary: Saqquara, Dashour and Memphis, giving us plenty of time to see them. And then he drove us back to Cairo in front of the restaurant where we wanted to have lunch. Recommended Emo Tours and very good driver.

Half day tour of Memphis, Sakkara & Dahshur

Wonderful half day tour to, Memphis,Sakkara, Dahshur. Our driver Ahmad was on time, spoke good English and is a very good and careful driver. He also gave us some pointers as we choose not to have a guide. If you can try and book him you will have a great tour.

It was a very good tour.

He was a young guide, but he was well studied, and his English was good and easy to listen to. The Egyptian food at the restaurant we stopped at was also very good. I had a good time without being asked for any extra charges at all.

Unsatisfactory

The tourist was quite rude and arrogant. He was not at all explaining things well and seemed not well read about facts. In GEM he wanted to quickly push us through , not interested to explain and we could see how other guides were explaining well to their respective groups. Also he did not seem good in his English communication. The driver was good, polite and very accommodative.We will not recommend the tourist guide to anybody.
