Fun and and informative visit to Saqqara
Brilliant decision to go with Emo Tours! Saqqara is such a unique and special place. A lovely oasis with palm trees among the ancient pyramids. Mohammed Hammed was the perfect guide for our visit. He made the history of the area come alive with stories of how the pyramids and surrounding tombs came about. He was smart, personable and so respectful of us and the history of Saqqara. Big bonus points: he’s a shockingly good photographer! Pictures he took of my friend and I were so good that we spent the evening at our hotel sending photos back home. Family and friends kept remarking “Egypt agrees with you!” That is on top of the expert details and overview we received from his tour. I can recommend Emo Tours whole heartedly!

Okay experience
I like the places but my tour guide was not informative enough. At the end of the tour he took me to a gold store for shopping which was not included in the tour . I would have been more happy if he would took me to Giza pyramid again

Full Day Tour to Dashur, Memphis and Sakkara
ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING!!! ❤ We have never been to Egypt and because I was in charge of planning everything for the group, I was super nervous... I researched ALOT!! Every possible resource. I wrote/emailed no less than 6 different tour guides/companies, and finally... I chose Emo Tours. I have traveled quite a bit and know how bad a less-than-great tour guide/company can be. Emo Tours IS more-than-great!!! This has been the BEST day!!! If you are going to Egypt, I really, really recommend Sayed Mahmoud (& Karim our driver) 110%!!! Cheers you two!!! We Canadians think you are the best!!!

Quite expensive for a visit that was a little desapointing
If you want visit the whole site of Sakkara, ask firmly for the inclusive ticket. If not you only be allowed to wander in the area. Be also attentive with the language spoken by your guide: we ask for French and we had English. Finally we chose the tour that started at 10. The guide told us that we will have to hurry to visit : I would have like to know it before, in that case we would have started earlier. I found it was expensive and we should have organized it by ourselves . But our guide Ahmed Nasr and our driver Mohamed were really helpful.

Day trip to Sakkara
We managed to fit this last excursion in on the last day of our Egypt trip! Sakkara, Memphis, and Dahshur are incredible sights to see and a "must-do" complement to seeing the Giza Plateu. The sites here provide archeological context that helps facilitate an understanding of Egyptian history. The tour manager organized a clear car, water/snacks, knowledgeable guide, and delicious lunch.

Fantastic trip
This was a really interesting trip thanks to our knowledgeable guide, Mahmoud, from EMO tours. It's really worth visiting the Dashur pyramids, the site is much quieter and quite an experience getting inside them! Worth doing before going to Giza to help set the context.

Thank you......Thank you........Professional Excellence!!!!!
On the 30th of 1st of 2022 we made the excursion to Alexandria and in the same day my wife suffered a fall that led to a fracture of Humero (when we arrived in Argentina the Surgery was performed) the help received with the authorities, in the Clinic, waiting for the clinical part to be resolved, I would not reach the words of thanks for Mohamed who was with us at all times until we moved to Cairo without contemplating the return schedule and until today he remains in contact to inquire about the state of health of my wife, beyond the professionalism with which he faces his work (we also take the excursion from Memphis - Dashur and Sakkara) the facts showed us his human quality.... From our experience in both excursions we do not hesitate to recommend to the agency!!!!!!!
