This tour with our amazing guide Essam was incredible. They arrived on time to our hotel, the car was super clean, and we got an excellent driver too. Our guide had a deep historical knowledge about ancient Egypt and he spoke a very good English. I highly recommend to book this tour, ask for Essam.

The guys were great, quite professional, they picked us up in Cairo and took us to see the pyramids. There was a long queue to get the tickets but we got there in the end. Pyramids were nice, a bit smaller than I thought they would be, but nice nevertheless. Would I come back there again? No, but it’s definitely worth seeing once in your lifetime. And honestly you can do without a tour guide if you’re not scared of being in Egypt, (it can be scary sometimes) because the information they they give isn’t groundbreaking, you can definitely read up on the internet. You always need to leave a tip (aka Baksheesh) in Egypt when service is provided, so have some dollars ready with ya.

The tour company was very flexible which was much appreciated considering we had a last-minute change in pick up location. The best part of the tour was our guide Hamdy! He was very friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the Pyramids and Sphinx! Afterwards, for an added bonus he took us to a traditional coffee house where we got to try some Egyptian coffee which made the tour even better!
Dear our valued customer Thanks for the awesome review, We work hard to meet expectations like yours, and we’re happy to hear we hit the mark for you. Come back and see us soon. Sincerely Emo Tours Egypt
Hazem was an amazing tour guide! Very knowledgeable, kind, funny and a great photographer. I learned a lot about Egypt, its history and culture and had a lot of fun

Terrible experience!!!! With very limited directions we could not find the tour guide at the airport. After this horrible experience, I requested 3 or 4 times for a refund before leaving a review. I did not get a refund nor any kind of a response, not even an apology. This outfit, lives up to the Egyptian attitude of just taking as much money as they can from tourist.
The huge crowds & the ability of our guide, Afefe, to explain his extensive knowledge of all the sights of Giza. Our driver, Iman, was a most skillful driver and a very pleasant person.
Mohammad somehow rushed us through our 4-hour tour in only 3 hours. He spent a lot of time standing and regaling us with the details of Egyptian mythology — he’s obviously knowledgeable — but less time listening and more time viewing would have been preferable. Relatively little time at the pyramids, and none at the Great Pyramid. The kids rode camels (extra charge) which they enjoyed. Drove to a spot on a busy road from which we could see the Sphinx and took some photos, but never actually visited it. I wondered whether he wanted to avoid paying the entrance fee. Then off to the unscheduled but obligatory visit to the papyrus factory where we were shown how papyrus is made (we knew) and were encouraged to buy some (we didn’t). It was a visit we’d been looking forward to for a long time and were pretty disappointed with this experience.
