A scam tour. Do not recommend
Unfortunately I cannot recommend Emo tours based on my experience (although it seems to be guide dependent) and here are my reasons why: - My pick up at the hotel was 20 minutes late, and there was no mode of communication. I rang the support number several times but no one picked up. It was by chance that I saw that the driver was able to find me in the lobby - We headed to the Sakkara temple complex which was uneventful - Aladdin, the tour guide, was informative about the history of the step pyramid and showed led me inside Pyramid of Teti - Aladdin was helpful with taking photos and had some good photo suggestions However, this is where the tour takes a turn for the worse - We have a quick walk around the complex, and Aladdin suggests skipping the Red Pyramid/Bent pyramid as there is nothing to see there, and instead going to museums with more interesting artefacts. Having trust in Aladdin, I accepted his advice (mistake) - We go to these various museums in and around Cairo, which turn out not to be museums at all. There are no historical artefacts here - just shops designed to sell to tourists - I have no doubt Aladdin received commission for this on the side - Nowhere are these shops described in the original itinerary The frustration comes from the fact that time was taken away from actual sightseeing to be shown shops for financial gain of the tour guide Aladdin. We also did not complete the Shakkur site in hindsight, leaving most of the itinerary as described in the TripAdvisor website unvisited. I was warned of the infamous scam culture surrounding Egypt but I thought I would be safe with a well reviewed tour company. I paid $130 for this tour and regret booking with Emo tours. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this company to others.

Auto alleen tour
Chauffeur was uitstekend. Gaf historische context, hielp tickets kopen, zeer flexibel met de tijd op bestemmingen, en was op tijd in de ochtend. Zeer aan te bevelen!

Best driver we had!
We went on several tours in Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, and Abu Simbel. All were booked through Viator and most were subbed by Emo Tours, including this one. We did a driver only. I believe his name was Ahmed. (He wore a vest with "New Your Yankees" on the back). He was the absolute best. He acted as a tour guide, giving advice and telling us the best way to navigate each site. He went out of his way to make sure we knew about each site. At Sakkara, he had us go to the left of the temple first, see the tombs, and then enter the Tomb of Unas (small pyramid that looks like a mound to the back left of the temple). Absolutely beautiful tomb! Then go through the temple and to the step pyramid. He told us about the culture of Baksheesh and how it is ingrained and who to actually tip. By far our favorite guide!

Great Experience, Great Guide
Had a fantastic tour visiting Saqqara. My guide had a lot of great information to share and kept the tour moving at a very nice pace. Driver didn't say much, but did his job well. I was able to see so much on this tour. It really helped cap off my time in Cairo. A lunch was supposed to be included, never happened, otherwise I would have given 5 stars.

Saqqara
Awful experience. The driver arrived late, and as soon as he saw I was a solo traveller lady, he started to take control over my day, my tour and experience. he was too much into chasing a good tip at the end of the day, he stop on the middle of the highway to take pictures. Drive is chaotic in Cairo, seem like it doesn’t make a difference to take risky decisions, but…. He overpass his only driver task. I contract this option because Saqqara and Memphis area is designed for tourist to pay and overpay. So there is no options to get there by yourself no other than having one of those scammers to walk you around. He keep trying to pretend he was a tour guide, again I only took the driver option because of many reasons, so instead of making me a favour he truly annoyed me. Once I. Saqqara complex I tried to buy a full entrance ticket he kept telling me not to do so, and mislead me with false information, because who knows why he was interested into getting to Dashour. He kept offering me to stop on the carpets schools close to Giza, obviously to buy carpets. I refuse that. Buying dates. Buying bananas. He kept making not only stupid, but even offensive discussions. So by this Saqqara ticket situation, I miss the main monument that I wanted to visit from the inside, not only that, because of my ticket someone on the monument shout at me, because he my ticket was not the right one to get there. I was quite conscious about his existance and his wellbeing, but the truth is, he and only him was the main character on my paid tour, my journey of that day and my overall experience. It was like being drives around by one of the AliBaba’s stealers. I’m not someone who usually takes tours or packages, and that experience has put me off from life. Ever again. After Saqqara, I wait for him to have a tea on a drivers resting area. And he drive us to Darshour, still insisting on pretending to be a Egyptologist, meantime I was trying to check my notes for the day and visits, and as soon as we arrived to Dahshur I decided it was more than enough, he may get away with taking people’s money, but not my energy of time, so I asked him to return me to the hotel. I was not happy to expend another second in that situation that was taking me to a total dissspointment. He accepted it, but once on the car, he star asking, like the most toxic partnership ever. I eventually gave a hard time to keep myself in educated and adequate manners. I try to keep silence, and just answer with yes or not to him. He knew that tips will not even a possibility, so he keep begging for me not to do a bad review. Mainly I find this situation to be my error, as you will never into a stranger’s car. So. What to say.

Basic tour of the area
The guide spoke broken English which led to a misunderstanding and we missed a cite in the Saqqaro complex. Once we left we could not return. Other than that, the guide's English was understandable for the tour highlights and he was very friendly.

Excelente tour para...
Excelente tour para quienes quieren ver “las otras” pirámides más allá de Giza, sobre todo las de Dashur que siempre son olvidadas por detrás de Saqqara

It is very hard to visit...
It is very hard to visit these sites by public transportation. It saves time and keeps away from exhaust. The guide was supportive and gave me many instructions.
