Djoser/Snefru Rule! See the first pyramids.
Awesome day tour outside Cairo/Giza. We had a private small-group tour. Air conditioned van. Our guide was great. Included lunch. Note: the descent into the bent pyramid is particularly difficult.

Recommend this trip
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Memphis, Sakara and Dhashur with Martina your lovely guide and driver Shady. We had a wonderful and memorable time. Lots was packed in. Left 9am returned x7 hours later. Hotel drop off and pickup was given.
The drive took 1.5 hours through the city then the countryside. We learned a lot of history, though at times our guide misunderstood us due to not being 100% fluent in English. Nevertheless, she was friendly, caring (keeping us safe from touts / locals at sites expecting tips etc) and was thorough. She took lots of photos for us too, always with a smile.
On your breakdown, it says free admission for all pyramids seen, but we were disappointed we could enter the Red and Bent and Titi pyramids, but she took us to walk round the whole Step pyramid, but said to go inside the Step pyramid itself, it was extra to pay?
We did not know this? If so , you need to make this clear on your itinerary as it says entrance included.
Lunch stop food was good, though the service there was a bit slack regardless of number of waiters hovering around. Eg Had to ask x3 times to get some ketchup. Drinks extra.
Thank you - we do recommend this tour our friendly driver Shady and Martina our charming guide.

Had a super informative and fun time with guide Asmaa and driver exploring Saqqara, Dashur and Memphis.
Was a bit apprehensive that a personal tour would be too intense as i was travelling alone, but they were both friendly, relaxed, organised and informed. From a call to say they were outside my accommodation, to tailoring exactly to my interests (i wanted to go inside several of the pyramids), they were great.
It made a great intro to my Egypt trip and I found myself referring back often to things Asmaa had told me throughout my time there. Many thanks both of you!

Bad
Lack of knowledge from your guide,not very good speaking English,telling untruths on things. Very poor lunch. Pressured into shops to buy & give tips.

Excellent trip with expert guide
This was an excellent trip and our guide Omar was an expert Egyptologist. He took his time to explain things very well and made it a very enjoyable experience. My daughter and I were very satisfied with the trip, the lunch was very nice and Omar was a fantastic guide. We will definitely use Emo Tours again.

Great experience
Overall, it was a great experience. My guida Fatma was nice and with great knowledge. Driver was also super nice and kind. The tour itself is great although personally I choose to skip some visit to carpet and oil shops. But I went to The papiro and I really enjoyed. The only thing that I didn’t like so much was the subtil pressure for positive review and tip - your tour is great, you don’t need to do that. I would recommend it to whom really want to go inside a mastaba without “suffering” with too many people and to have something great to actually see. I loved it 😍

Esperienza imperdibile
La guida Mohamed è stata una delle migliori guide di sempre. Molto preparata, simpatica, educata e disponibile. Abbiamo imparato tanto da questa esperienza.

Enjoy the treasures outside of Cairo
Great experience, the guide in Italian and the driver were very professional, I enjoyed the tour, always ready to answer to my questions and fulfill my wishes.
Very interesting to visit the different pyramids in Sakkara and Dashur and Memphis areas. All entrance were included and the guide was very prepared. I booked the tour the evening before, even though it was everything well organized and I got immediately the confirmation. Bravo.
Lunch was in a menu restaurant, very good food. Drinks were not included, but not expenses.
I highly recommend this tour, I was very satisfied.

Half day tour with Amira
Me and my partner went yesterday for a Memphis, Saqqara and Dahshur tour and we loved every single moment of it! Our guide Amira was amazing, incredibly smart, supportive and kind! The driver was so fun, the food was very nice, the commitment with timing, the vehicle, everything on point! We will definitely recommend for friends!

Spannende Tour
Ich habe einen sehr spannenden und informativen Tag erlebt mit vielen interessanten Erklärungen von Guide Fatma Yousef und Fahrer Ahmed Abbas.
In der Tourbeschreibung wurden die Besuche in einer Teppich-, einem Gewürz- und einem Papyrusladen nicht erwähnt, wo natürlich probiert wird einem etwas zu verkaufen. Es wird aber kein Druck aufgesetzt, wenn man nichts möchte. Den Papyrusladen habe ich ausgelassen.
