There is quite a lot of car travel involved and for us the experience was quite poor based on high speeds of up to 150kph, erratic steering of the vehicle and so close to having a head on crash. Trust me I like speed but not like this experience. I spoke to both the driver and guide about our concerns at the halfway point. They moderate their speed and driving a little but you could tell they weren’t happy. Anyway if like high speeds and high risk yes they are worth the investy

Incredible tour! Our tour guide Hamadah was so fun and went above and beyond to keep us safe and happy. I highly recommend!
One of the best experiences I've had. The tour guide was awesome with lots of knowledge, willing and pleasant, he offered us a unique experience and not just a typical tour. I definitely want to go back and stay overnight in the desert.
Great experience , we did a day trip in the desert ,went very smoothly ,our guide Musa and our driver Mustafa were AMAZING ... So helpfull and providing. They made it their mission to make sure we had a great time , they tented to our needs and were a great company.
The booking process was far too easy! After the booking, one day before the activity, the agency sent me a reminder-so i know they havent forget me, much appreciated! SLA direct and fast to whatever question! They even considered that my time was a bit limited and customized the tour-thank you! A private tour, Musa (the guide) and Mustafa (the driver) are the perfect duo! Fun, active, friendly, supportive! The tour was fun. Especially the 4x4 ride in the dessert! A ride like roller coaster-hiya! Lunch was superb! Traditional and tasteful! A really fun day trip! Thank you guys!
We had our trip with our guide Sherif, he was incredibly knowledgeable of the areas we visited and was very friendly to us.
It's was great experience. Emo tours is the way to go in Egypt. The tour in the desert was wonderful and adventurous. Our driver Wanid and our guide Mohammed were so much fun. Definitely recommend.
Our private tour to El Fayoum was truly unforgettable, thanks to our exceptional guide, Hakim. His deep knowledge and passion for the region enriched our experience, especially our visit to the enchanting Magic Lake. Hakim’s insights and stories brought the landscape to life, making our journey both informative and enjoyable. We highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking a unique and memorable adventure in Egypt.
Leading up to my tour, the agency kept in contact with me throughout which put me at ease. The day started with a punctual pick up and my guide, Hakiem, welcomed me with a warm smile. The 2hour drive was comfortable and the WiFi in the vehicle was a great added benefit. The hospitality at the camp that I experienced was amazing not to mention the delicious meal prepared by the local family. The natural scenery was breathtaking and the Valley of the Whales was mind blowing - so much so I forgot about the heat. Hakiem and the drivers (Dsoqy and Mohamed) made my day trip unforgettable. I would highly recommend this tour.
the tour was great. The drivers were extremely nice and funny. we had a great adventure in the desert. The drivers took lots of great photos of us. we also spent a night in the desert. it was great.
We did the Al Fayyum Tour and it was a true desert adventure! Our guide Sayed and driver Mohammed were both super, nice, knowledgeable and fun! :-) Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to do something off the beaten track.
This is a great way to see the sights around Cairo. We were linked up with our guide, Nesma, straight from the hotel. She was informative, fun, and very professional. She was wutg us every step of the way as we toured the Giza plateau and the pyramids, and as we took a day ride out to Alexandria to see the sights there. All in all, I would highly recommend this touring company; they take care of you.
EMO tours is the way to go! From Cairo, Giza, and Luxor we were provided with transportation and one on one explanation of the history and landmarks all over Egypt! Our tour guide Mahmoud was a complete professional! Also the city is a lot safer than you think! Highly recommended!
When I planned my trip to Egypt, one of my friends highly recommended Emo Tours to guide us through our journey through Egypt. Emo Tours has been nothing but exceptional especially our tour guide Mahmoud El Wakeel. Mahmoud speaks english very well and is greatly knowledgable in the historical facts of each site. He is wonderful. He was able to tailor our tour to our needs for example if we wanted to start our day later he would make the necessary adjustments for us or if one day was too packed with activities because we were tired, he would rearrange our schedule. Emo Tours and Mahmoud have made my trip to Egypt a positive and unforgettable one!
My husband and I recently enjoyed our tours with Emo tours. All pick ups were very smooth and the company helped manage an extra night in Cairo. I would definitely recommend taking a Nile cruise as you can enjoy the sights in the morning and relax on board during the afternoon/evening. Our tour guide Ahmed Hakim was knowledgeable and kind hearted. I would recommend this company in a heartbeat!
Guides in Cairo and Luxor were both knowledgeable, prompt, caring and provided us with a tremendous amount of information that enhanced our tour of these two cities. I taught one driver a new word, "Pampered" is how we felt. Thank you Viator! Hope to use your wonderful services again -- you the greatest value for our money!
Really beautiful!!! A fun and beautiful experience. I had a good time. The guide was fantastic and they made me feel welcomed like a dear friend.
Magnificent excursion!! It is truly worth spending a day in Fayoum. Our 4x4 driver and our guide were exceptional. And the lunch was delicious.
It is a different and beautiful experience to see the desert, its lakes and casacada, but the guide did not offer much information, nor did he speak Spanish well, which we had requested.
We asked for a French-speaking guide. We had a guide, very kind, speaking limited English but little information on the different sites.
The day trip to Fayoum is really a nice experience that no one should miss. The organization from Emo tours was very good, everything was done according to the program and Aya who accompanied us was very sweet and pleasant company.
Great, I visited everything that was in the program. Driver and guide two honest, reliable and nice people. During the journey, total relaxation without stress.
This trip is definitely worth seeing! We were picked up by our guide Musa and Co. in New Cairo and drove towards Al Fayyum, where we were welcomed by some amazing people who gave us an experience we never forget. The day offered good food, delicious Jeep Safari to Wadi Al-Hitan, Wadi El Rayan Falls and Magic Lake. The service was absolutely exceptional, everything was well organized, and Musa was both welcoming, fun and easy to communicate with. We can warmly recommend this trip to anyone who wants a unique day.
great excursion, the valley of whales and the lakes were impressive. Everything worked perfectly and the guide was pleasant.
È un’esperienza meravigliosa il deserto è fantastico L’oasi con il lago magico è da provare. Bisogna passeggiare nell’acqua da non perdere
We spent a great day in the Fayoum Oasis with a great guide Mohammed! Everything was very well organized and we recommend!
For those not interested in the hustle and bustle of Cairo, a must. Through the desert, into the green wadi and back into the desert. Then you stand in front of lakes and a waterfall and ask yourself: "Where does the water come from, where does it go?" You're standing in the sand that used to be the sea 40 million years ago. Unreal. Mano and both drivers did their best and rounded off the day with their hospitality and safe rides. It was definitely worth it.
My gratitude to this group of people who accompany me They spent my whole trip and are much wisdom and kindness made me known this beautiful country.. its culture, its geography, its riches its food.. but the best.. the human quality in these people who guided me.. Hesham Shaltot Ibrahim Said Mohamed Said.. They are the best Egyptians.! Congratulations to your Enterprise, seriousness, fulfillment, kindness.. such are these men.. THANK YOU SO MUCH.! Hugs and I recommend this Enterprise with 5*.. EMO TOURS...
I have no words to describe how wonderful it has been to visit Egypt hiring the services of EMO TOURS. Every day was for the better, the professionalism, the good treatment, the protection, the diligence, and above all the extensive knowledge of every member we saw of the company about the Egyptian culture, deserves our thanks. From Mido, Ibrahim, passing through each of the different drivers to arriving at Reda’s unrivalled Service (guide q was with us most of the time from Luxor to Aswan), we can have no more than eternal thanks for making us know this wonderful country not only in its ancient history, but in its culture, its customs, its food, its language and even its modern history. My brother, in good time for the excellent Enterprise you have, I know that requires a lot of effort and work. Ibrahim my sister, good luck in your future plans and above all I hope that one day you will become a madridista lol. A separate special for Reda who not only stayed forever in our hearts, but also with her knowledge and her Capacity (in covers) to teach, made us fall even more in love with her wonderful country. If it's worth returning to Egypt for anyone, it's for you, brother. Anyway, I can only recommend them 100% because whoever hires them will have the opportunity to not only have guides and drivers ready to serve, but to add new members to the family. THANK YOU very much from heart dear family, very lucky and especially that we see you again, inshaalah
