Recommended - We are a family of 4 (my children are 9 and 12 years old) and yesterday we did this tour gui DAti da Adel. The guy is prepared and speaks good Italian, gave us time to take pictures when we wanted without rushing. At the end of the tour we were understandably tired: around lunchtime the sun was really strong. Recommended tour. I would avoid bringing small children.

A Fantastic Day Tour Experience with Emo tours Egypt in Cairo! - We recently booked a group tour for the day with Emo tours Egypt, And we were happy with the overall experience. Our guide, Amr, was very knowledgeable; on time to start the tour, and it was easy to communicate with him, the prices were quite reasonable as well. Also, the driver was very good on the roads, and we felt safe during our travels. While the tour was excellent, I do have suggestions on areas where there can be improvements made to have a more satisfying experience: 1.) On the drive to the “sites” we were briefed in the vehicle about the history of the place & passed on a phone depicting some images. As a suggestion maybe you could have a big tablet or some central screen in the vehicle, so we don’t have to pass a phone along from passenger to passenger. 2.) Apart from the main tourist places on the itinerary, there were some side “stops” along the way for shopping souvenir(s). There should be a time limit for waiting at each of these souvenir shops, so that there is enough time left to visit “main” tourist sites as per the itinerary, most of which have a closing time of around 16:00hrs so managing time is important so that we don't feel rushed. That being said, the group we had was fantastic and we had an amazing time. So I’d be more than happy to recommend Emo tours Egypt services to anyone planning a Cairo, Egypt day trip. I can’t wait to go back again and explore the other cities in Egypt with them. Cheers until we meet again!!

Great tour - We took a guided tour with Mohammad. He was excellent. Would recommend you request a tour with him. We only needed about 6 hours to cover everything, including the shops.

Famous Egyptian hospitality shines as you walk through history. - Wow, what a day! The landmarks speak for themselves, truly magnificent and once in a lifetime sights that you must see. Areeg was a lovely and very knowledgeable tour guide and answered all of our constant questions. She really knew her stuff about the history of Egypt and was a pleasure to chat with about Egyptian culture. She obviously has a passion for the job and treated us very much like a new friend. Egyptian hospitality really should be what other cultures model themselves on. We never waited long or in any lines for the attractions and everything from tickets to payment for food etc was organized by the team. We were always on time and never had to worry about anything. Ismael the driver was welcoming and kind and did an amazing job taking us all around Cairo, and even providing us with classic Egyptian snacks and drinks. I couldn’t recommend the team enough for your next tour. Thanks for a day we’ll never forget!

Exploring Egypt’s Hidden Gems with Yousef - Our tour of Saqqarah, Memphis, and Dahshur with Yousef was a unique and eye-opening experience. Rather than just ticking off famous landmarks, Yousef guided us through the lesser-known stories and secrets of these ancient sites, giving us a deeper appreciation of Egypt’s rich history. His explanations were clear, engaging, and sprinkled with fascinating insights you wouldn’t find in guidebooks. What stood out the most was his patience and flexibility, always making sure we were comfortable and tailoring the experience to suit our interests. A day filled with history, discovery, and unforgettable moments—highly recommend exploring with Yousef!

Terrific - Could not have asked for better. Sumayyah is a terrific and lovely guide. Mohammad our driver made our experience all the better. They are both professional, friendly, considerate to our needs, and on top of things all the time. They made our experience even better than we hoped for. It truly was a pleasure. Thank you so much Sumayyah and Mohammad, and thank you Emo Tours Egypt. You are our go-to when in Egypt.

A full day to the pyramids of giza with memfis and saqqara and dahshur with omair - From morning to evening, young Omair and Mr Ahmed maintained a very spirited and positive attitude despite the heat and speaking a language that is not their own. At all times they were very nice, cheerful and most importantly respectful and professional. They simply Love Your Work.... Especially young Omair never left us and always looked after us. I wish that all people in the tourism sector as well as in all labour sectors would love their work as much as they do. We are simply very happy to visit Egypt thanks to Omair and Ahmed.

Great experience with the Private Day Tour Giza, Memphis and Sakkaraaqqara, - Excellent choice of trip. The local guide spoke very good English, he offered valuable information in a calm and professional manner. He made the whole day trip smooth as he kept away all the locals who constantly asked for a tip or tried to sell things. Easy access to all sites, no wait in line for tickets. Prompt pick up from the hotel and also very good driver who accompanied us all day long - different person. The stop next to the Sphinx was kind of in a rush, but that was no problem for us since we had an extra day in Cairo and visited the place once more. Good choice of restaurant for lunch. We highly recommend the tour, the travel agency and local guide.
