Tour was well organized with excellent communication. Driver was prompt but not pushy. Mohamed, our guide, was very experienced and gave great insight into what we were seeing. I'd highly recommend this your top those who half a half day in Cairo. It was great to have all the ticketing handled so we could come with the guide, enter the venues, and enjoy hassle-free.

We booked a private full day tour of the Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Citadel, Coptic Cairo and Bazaar which included all transportation, ticket fees, bottled water and lunch. Our private driver Ali Muhammad arrived at the hotel promptly at the pickup time. He was friendly and welcoming but most importantly he was a good safe driver. We met up with our toyr guide, Sayed Mahmoud who again was very welcoming and professional. Sayed English was excellent and he is very knowledgeable of all the Egyptian attractions we visited. Both Sayed and Ali were very efficient navigating the directions on our way between attractions as well as the crowds at each attraction which was important to us because we do not like wasting our precious travel time waiting in traffic or long ques to access attractions. We also appreciated how Sayed would constantly ask us if everything is okay and if the pace of the tour was okay. Also, I read a lot of reviews where the tour guide brings the groups to shops where they feel pressured into buying stuff like papyrus or silk or cartouche pendants because the tour guide gets a commission from the shop. We really apprexiated that Sayed asked us if those were things we would be interested in, if so he could bring us but if not we can continued with the tour itinary and he never made us feel pressured into doing something we didn't want. After we visited Coptic Cairo, Ali and Sayed made a quick stop and surprised us with fresh squeezed sugar cane juice which was so cool and refreshing and he gave us a gift of mixed egyptian sweet desert assortment which was so delicious. We then stopped for a buffet lunch, the selection and the food were good, however, the restaurant gets very crowed as is caters to several tour groups so people file in by the bus load. The last stop on out tour was the Bazaar, however, we dltypicalky do not enjoy being scammed or haggle in crowed markets so we asked to be brought back to the hotel. Overall I would recommend this tour and request Sayed and Ali because they are so great. Mayya Mayya Habibi Sayed and Ali, Shufak my friends.
Sayed Mahmoud was our friendly and knowledgeable tour guide and Ali Muhammad skillfully drove us to all of the sites. They both were so considerate and kind and went above and beyond to make us comfortable, hydrated, and very well fed! I am so thank for them both showing us around this amazing place!
We enjoyed tour with Hakim who was our guide. He helped us throughout our visit to pyramids and also organised a camel ride at our request which wasn’t part of the tour. We paid that separately. It took almost 4 hours for the visit to Giza & Sfinx and afterwards we were taken to restaurant for lunch. The tour included transport & drop off from our hotel. Thanks for nice tour!
Good setvicethroughout the tour, Sayed Mahmoud is very accomodated and informative guide. Abdoullah Mohamed is the service mind driver for today!! Lunch provided is also tasty!! So joyful this one day trip tour today!!
Sadam was so jovial, guided us through things knowingly, was our fun photographer, then took us to an essential oils place that my wife loved and a spice dealer. Overall, we loved our guide and are pleased with the value. But, if you're on a budget, don't need transportation or a translator or a photographer and know the history of the Giza Plateau, you can do this without a guide.
We had the very best tour guide to show us the pyramids! Ahmed was so sweet fun and knowledgeable. We felt like we were in very good hands.
Good service, polite tour guide and nice driver. Overall was and excellent tour, and the tour company was very responsive to my emails and questions.
Great day out it was an amazing experience. Guide and driver really looked after us. Sayed and Mahmoud were great, had a real adventure!!
We took the trip with Sayed Mahmoud and Mahommed, who was the driver. We went to Saqqara and the Giza Pyramids with a lunch break at the Giza Plateau. Ended with the Sfinx visit. We really enjoyed this tour and recommend the guys!
It was great. A lot to see, but Sayed Mahmoud prioritized what was important and helped us understand everything. He answered our questions, took lots of good pictures of us, and was always very helpful to us.
Sayed Mahmoud was awesome. He is the best tour guide in all of Egypt - really helpful and always helping you understand everything as you go on the journey. He will also ensure you don’t get scammed anywhere, which is common if you don’t know what’s going on. Tour itself is really cool because they show you all the pyramids and you get to go inside some of them too.
It was a nice experience our gaid said Mahmoud showed us all the important things and took us all over the pyramids and explained to us all with the driver brahim was really nice car was clean everything was 👌
So our tour guide was Sayeed Mahmoud and Ali was our driver. They were really welcoming and friendly with us. Plus the driver was right on time and Sayeed sort out confusion and took pics for us. It was really good. Thanks alot Sayeed and Ali.
The tour was amazing. We had the best time and the most professional guide and Driver. We saw a lot of attractions and our guide, Mr Sayed Mahmoud even helped us with our fussy baby. He made sure we were okay and comfortable at all times. The Driver opened our doors and was always on time to pick us up. They were a very exceptional duo. 100% recommend.
Excellent service provided by Sayed Mahmoud on an all-day tpur of Cairo. Sayed facilitated our tour with ease, provided useful insights at the pyramids, Sphinx, and Egyptian Museum. We felt very much in great company all day. There were a few stops for shopping for local products (essence oils, papyrus) that included demonstrations, but there was no significant pressure to buy anything. Lunch was buffet style at a nice restaurant. Highly recommend this tour, especially if booking with Sayed and our driver, Mahmoud.
We enjoyed the tour without guide Mr. Sayeed Mahmoud. The great pyramids are fantastic and we did camel ride there. The faluca ride was so relax. Driver Mr. Adel took care of us very well.
We have had the best trip with Sayed Mahmoud. Sayed has been the best guide, sharing a lot of interesting historical details of the Egyptian history. Both Sayed and the excellent driver Youse, were nice, easygoing, and both had a great humour. We give our best recommendation for this tour 👏☀️😊
Sayed Mahmoud was a brilliant and informative tour guide. We had a brilliant day exploring Egypt. Ahmed Rabo was our driver and was super helpful. We'd recommend you choose Emo Tours to have an enjoyable experience. It's our first day in Egypt and we loved it.
Sayed Mahmoud is an absolutely brilliant guide ! It was our first day in Egypt and we could not find a better guide. Very informative, personal and devoted. We managed to see attractions up close and learn many new things. Our driver Ahmed was equally brilliant. If you come across them you will have without a doubt great time.
Tonsi and company get 5 stars, we were a group of 55 people from Washington DC and spent 10 days travelled Cairo and Nile River. Our lead guide Tonsi handled everything from start to finish. We took thousands of pictures and made memories for a lifetime. We had private security the entire time. We stayed in great hotels. We toured over 25 historic sites. We loved every minute of it, please book Tonsi for your next adventure. He will make your entire trip perfect. The staff went above and beyond to help us and make sure we were taken care of. I loved the service we got. 10 stars
A wonderful day visiting pyramids in Giza with a camel ride. Also included Memphis and Shakkara. Our guide Seyad Muhammad was very knowledgeable and helpful. He made sure we had the time to enjoy our day. He was very nice and even took many pictures of us. We also stopped at a few shops and had a nice meal.
Must do activity if you ever visit Cairo, Egypt. It was a private tour, so experience was calm and personalized. My guide Khalaf was great.
Our tour guide Shayed Mahmoud and the driver Mohamed were very polite and friendly. Shayed explained us all the sightseeings and the history behind ,with great detail. (Also a great photographer) I would definitely choose the same team for another tour.
We spend a say at Giza seeing the pyramids and the sphinx. We rode the camels and had some really cool pictures. Then we took a ride to memphis and sakar to look at some beautiful tombs. Our gide Sayed Mahmoud was very talkative and full of cool facts about egypt. Our driver was also great.
Very grateful for this tour, Sayed Mahmoud is very professional, super friendly and highly knowledgeable. We stopped for egyptian coffee and we’ve also visited interesting places like the carpet factory and some nice bazaars. I highly suggest this tour!
Our tour guide Mr Sayed Mohammad was very kind, very knowledgeable, very patient and really truly looked after my sister and I. He often checked in to ensure we are ok, he would tell the sellers pestering us to stay away, and he just all around really looked after us. I will definitely book with him when I come back again to beautiful Cairo.
The experience was beyond amazing, our tour guide Sayed Mahmoud was so helpful and informative. He provided a safe journey and made sure to get the best photos for us. Sayed gave us an amazing experience and I couldn’t possibly recommend this tour more. He ensured we weren’t scammed, took us to all the best places, and went above and beyond to make sure we had the most enjoyable day.
Amazing tour! We had the best tour guide Sayed Mahmoud and our driver Mustafa, they both ensured we were well taken care of and allowed us return to the air conditioned car if we got tired which was perfect given the weather in August. Sayed was an amazing guide, very knowledgeable, funny and kept the mood high despite the hot egyptian sun. Even got us some of the best photos to remember our trip. Thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend. Great tour and thank you!
We had a wonderful time on our tour with Sayed Mahmoud! It was enjoyable, flexible and personalised to our preferences and schedule. We also want to commend Mahmoud Tohmai's driving. Very safe and courteous.
Tour was great, Tour guide was extremely good and kind, He was with us for the whole day, He speaks english very well, Sayeed Mahmoud is our tour guide and youseef driver was great too, He safely drives us back to hotel. I would definitely recommend Mr.Sayeed Mahmoud as an english tour guide.
We had a Couple tour today, with Sayed Mahmoud, whom explained everything in so many details, he was very patient, expert in the whole story about Egypt. And also our driver it was Ebrahim Hamdy, he drove very safety. Very pleasant and definitely we are gonna recommend and we will be back!!!
My wife and I came to Egypt, we found Emu Tours, we did a really nice tour with our guide Sayed Mahmoud, we heard a lot of knowledge from him, it made our tour very accurate, I can't forget also about out driver Ebrahim Hamdy very safe on transit.
Excellent guide, Sayed Mahmoud. Hassle free and enjoyable trip. Covered all the sites we wanted to visit. Great lunch. .
Ehab mangalify was my favorite guide in Egypt. Tour was done at my own pace, he was very knowledgeable and personable. Great at answering questions and very patient. Highly recommended!
Sayed Mahmoud was an excellent tour guide! He was very knowledgeable about all of the sights and helped us find the best spots. I really loved learning about ancient Egypt from a passionate, detailed and attentive tour guide!
Excellent tour, really enjoyed. The guide was really knowledgeable and patient. Will highly recommend Syed Mahmoud (Guide) / Dokssy (Driver)
DON'T BOOK WITH THEM! READ THE TRUST PILOT REVIEWS!!!! They do not do what they promise. I had booked a half day tour to the pyramids, inside the pyramids, the sphinx, and even quad biking. Our guide did detours and took us to a perfume shop he likes and we were intimidated into buying stuff. I had my son with me and was very uncomfortable with all these men around us. It didn't even end there we were then taken on quad bikes which kept breaking down by the way, through a very run down area in cairo. It was very scary and alarming. The guide did not even give us information on any of the sites we saw just a few words here and there. We did not even go inside to see the sphinx instead we were taken to a wall along the side. This was the worst experience of my whole trip and I booked them through get your guide who are now going to investigate my complaint so just avoid it and pay that bit extra and go with your hotel it's worth it especially for your safety too
Had an amazing experience with our Sayed Mahmoud and driver Hosssam! Made us feel comfortable and safe during the whole time! Habibi
Well done to our guide Sayed Mahmoud. He’s super welcoming and entertaining while discussing the ancient Egyptian history. We learned a lot from him. And thanks to our driver Abdu. Miya miya! 😁
The tour was amazing & we saw the Giza Pyramids, Sphinx & Saqqara. Our guide Sayed Mahmoud was very knowledgeable & told us everything we needed to know about the pyramids. I really appreciate all the efforts that he did to make us have a great experience. I would also like to thank our great driver uncle Abdullah for being very nice with us.
My tour guide Hola, and my driver Abdul were the ABSOLUTE BEST. I swear I have never had such a great tour experience. Words cannot even begin to express the great service they both provided. If I could give them 100 stars I would and I am hard to impress.
Many thanks. I don't regret to find Emo via Aviator. Timely pickup by Sayed Mahmoud. Friendly and patient guide Sayed. Makes sure you are comfortable and safe from distractions. Wonderful man! The driver Ahmed has been wonderful too with careful driving.
We booked a tour with Emo Tours Egypt and we couldn't be happier with how it went. Sayed Mahmoud, our tour guide, was very informative and friendly. The pyramids are majestic and so is the spyhnx. Learning about them in detail is the icing on top. If you visit Cairo, getting a guide is really recommended to appreciate the sites even more.
Mr. Sayed Mahmoud was fantastic tour guide. We made a Pyramid tour, Sphinx, Sakkara and Memphis tour. His knowledge and hospitality was perfect. He answered all questions from us. The restaurant that chosen by him was very very good. We are satisfied from the tour and I advice you. Our driver Mr. Ahmed Amir was very good driver. His driving skills are very good. It might be understandable of this Giza traffic.
Very good sightseeing trip. Sayed Mahmoud has been a very good and informative guide. Our driver Seid w drove us safely and comfortably. Thank you! Can only recommend!
Excellent tour with Hazim. He was extremely knowledgeable and personable. We throughly enjoyed ourselves. Thanks for a wonderful experience
My tour guide sayed Mahmoud is very professional, knowledgeable and warm. He did a very good job helping me find those good spots for pictures. He is not pushy for shopping. Glad to have him.
Sayed Mahmoud was a great guide and showed us all over Cairo. He was knowledgeable and very friendly.
Sayed Mahmoud was an excellent guide! Super friendly and knowledgeable! We loved learning about all the history of the pyramids!
