Emo Tours Egypt

Couldn’t recommend this tour group enough. Fatima was incredibly knowledge about the history of the pyramids and all the different dynasties. Her knowledge of hieroglyphics was a nice surprise too.
Our driver Yousef was great too, navigating the difficult roads to and from Cairo, also offering to take pictures and help us in and out of the vehicle.

We love hiring tour guides and have many experiences to compare while visiting 21 countries in the past 18 months.
Emo Tours stands out in a few important ways...
1.) They were on time (early actually).
2.) Our guide, Mahmoud Afifi, was VERY service oriented. Coffee? "No problem." More, or less, time at a stop? "As you wish."
3.) Though English is not his native language his is quite good. The one or two times when his accent caused confusion he willingly (happily) re-phrased until clear.
4.) We have been frustrated by other guides who've required us to ask questions in order to get information, or just wouldn't provide much. Mahmoud, on the other hand, was a fountain of knowledge. His qualifications as a University trained Egyptologist are refreshingly deep. He clearly enjoys his job.
5.) He gave us choices within the schedule. I never felt rushed.
6.) Mahmoud is a terrific photographer with a great sense of humor! I'm so grateful to have epic pyramid photos that aren't selfies!
7.) Cairo traffic is chaotic but the calm driver never once made me feel anxious.
I can't speak for the rest of the people at Emo, but we thoroughly enjoyed our experience and wouldn't hesitate to call them again.

Yesterday, we had a full day tour of Alexanderia from Cairo. Our driver was Muhammad, and the tour guide Medhat joined us at Alexanderia. We visited many places of interest and history. It was amazing, Medhat was a very kind and caring person.

We absolutely loved our two days with Emu tours. We had Tonsee look after us along with a great driver on day one. He took us to see the pyramids of Giza and the sphinx. He also took us to an incredible perfume shop and was so incredibly knowledgeable. We couldnt recommend him highly enough! He also organised our driver for the second day we were in Giza straight away and planned everything for us. No question! Yoseff was our driver day two and he was also sensational. He took us to saqqara, Memphis and the red pyramid. When we asked if he could take us somewhere nice for lunch, he took us to the most beautiful traditional Egyptian restaurant. Not only that but he organised it all so that he would take us to the airport after we were done to catch our flight out. Thank you Tonee, Yoseff and emu tours for making our Cairo experience one to remember.

Great tour company. We did the City of the Dead tour and would highly recommend. Our tour guide Ehab and driver were fantastic! The cemetery tour is a must see to add to your list. People live inside the mausoleum, which I was not expecting to see ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I travelled solo and booked a number of tours with Emo- the full day tours of Cairo, Luxor, and the day trip to Abu Simbel from Aswan. Also booked a few transfers. Their guides are very knowledgeable, not just of the history, but also give great tips about where to go in each city. With their tours all being private, they are also very open to modifying the trip as you please. I booked an extra transfer with one of the guides and within a few minutes, their operations team messaged me with the confirmation details! Their prices are also on the lower side for private tours. Shout out to the operations officer Tayso for coordinating so seamlessly, and my guides, Luna (I think!) In Cairo, Samir in Aswan, and Hamid in Luxor. Highly recommended!

Amazing Tour, highly recommend asking for Mohamed Hamed. He had knowledge of the area. Well known in the area and had respect of the other locals. A big thing also, he Knows how to use a camera well to get you amazing photos. My wife felt very confident and comfortable with him and his driver.

I had an amazing 10 days experience in Egypt with Emo tours, the itinerary arranged by Mona (who I booked all my tours with) was well organised. Mona was very helpful, kind and responsive to my messages before and during the trip. All my tour drivers were awesome, friendly and very professional. All of the guides were disciplined, amazing, very knowledgeable, fun, thoughtful, professional, speaks English fluently and offered help genuinely.

Overall I had a great experience with Emo tours and will 100% book with them and recommend them to anyone planning to visit Egypt. I felt very safe travelling as a solo female.

I am one of those people who read all of the reviews.

Plans a year out for vacations.

I am literally obsessed with the details.

EMO Tours Egypt provides luxury experiences.

I spent almost 2 weeks in Egypt and booked 8 private tours. This company is AMAZING, great hospitality, and makes it fun for everyone.

I highly recommend them.

I have all of my tour guides names and would be happy to answer any questions.

I traveled as a family with small children.

We have had the MOST amazing experience thus far in Egypt. All of the guides have been knowledgeable, fun, thoughtful, and professional. We had no idea it would be this awesome of an experience and are already planning another trip. They accommodate any plans we asked for and offered extra ideas that we have loved. All the food and sites and people and places and shops and views have been simply out-of-this-world incredible. Ten stars !!!!!! Chad and Nadine

Really good tour company, with decent itineraries. We were escorted by Tigo in Cairo. Tigo was very helpful, patient and kind.
Islam was our driver in Luxor he was exceptional and took our photos.
They do give you bottled water for hydration and you get free juice on some visit sites. You get taken to the clothes and material shops unfortunately unavoidable if your not interested.
I recommend to get the guide inclusive package for all tours

We wanted a private tour for Luxor with a friendly, knowledgeable and experienced egyotologist and Ahmed Elkallaf was the perfect fit. Our tour included the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut, Luxor Temple and Karnak Temple.

The tour starts with a private car picking us up at our hotel - its a comfortable ride and an encouraging start. Driving to the Valley, you get as much history on Egypt as you want - Ahmed clearly knows his history! When we arrived at the Valley, he also selected 3 tombs for us to visit and gave us some very detailed information on what to look for and how to decipher some of the hieroglyphs.

We then headed to the various temples where our history lesson continued at a reasonable pace. Snacks and drinks were provided along the way, and we failed miserably at stumping him on any questions we had.

We did the Pyramids full day tour. Our tour guide was Tonsi - he was totally awesome! Very thorough and professional and allowed us to do the tour at our desired pace. Highly recommend overall!

Perfect day in Cairo. We got picked up by a very nice car with a very good driver at the exact at the time of our rendezvous.
Our guide Ahmed Magdy was very very good. He’s a real connoisseur of the Egyptian culture and history in general. He showed us the pyramids, the Cairo Museum & the souk, explaining us everything and asking all our questions. He even took pictures of us during the whole day. We recommend this tour and we hope you get Ahmed as well.

We had a wonderful full day tour with Sayed Mahmoud and Agmy visiting the Valley of the Whales as well as the Falls, magic lake, and lunch in an idyllic Bedouin enclosure. The 4 by 4 rides up the sand hills and skiing down the sand hills was a bonus. I highly recommend touring with these gentlemen

I highly recommend Emo Tours. I actually wish I had booked more tours with them as they were by far the best. Emo Tours is one of the great ones, and go above and beyond to make your day fantastic.

I did a day tour with Hamada and Hossam and they were amazing. Request them as your guide and driver if you get a chance! I had landed in Cairo late the night before, so it was my first day in Egypt and was so excited to visit the pyramids, Saqqara & Memphis. They helped me purchase the Cairo pass when we arrived, answered all my questions regardless of how silly they were, helping me take pictures and were ready with cold beverages when I thought I was going to melt from the desert heat that I was not used to! Hamada even arranged a chance for me to meet some camels. I am a massive animal lover and didn't want to ride them but it was my first time ever seeing a camel and it was so magical to be able to interact with them. It is something I will never forget. THANK YOU!!

I loved ending the day with a felucca ride on the Nile so don't skip that add on option because it is the perfect way to spend your day. Thank you Hamada, Hossam & Emo Tours for a memorable day I will never forget.

LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE! EMO TOURS IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!

I love to travel but Egypt is the best vacation I've experienced by far and a lot is due to EMO TOURS! We spent almost 2 weeks in Egypt, everyday with a tour guide which made my experience the best. The first accommodation they made was making sure every restaurant we visited had a vegan meal for me. The tour guides were very knowledgeable of Egypt's history and we learned a ton. Hotel accommodations were top dollar with awesome views of the pyramids. I visited with my sister and friend and we all had a blast. We visited over 10 temples, pyramids, museums, monuments etc. The tour guides took great care of us to make sure we were safe, comfortable and happy! I would do this trip 10 times again. Highly recommend EMO TOURS for your Egypt adventure. Everyone was very nice and customer service was magnificent. And lastly, YES IT IS SAFE TO TRAVEL TO EGYPT! Check out or pics!;-)

Normally, I try to avoid tours, but since I was traveling alone I thought it best to hire a private guide.. and I'm so so glad that I did!

I did a private tour with Sultan and Omar was our driver. They were absolutely wonderful! I was picked up at my hotel on time which is very important to me. Sultan is a great Egyptologist and passionate about his career. I did everything I wanted, both included in the tour and everything extra, i.e. go inside the Great Pyramid, ride a camel, and all at my own pace. I never felt rushed and we were always one step ahead of all the crowds which was really nice. We visited Cairo and went to the Egyptian Museum (soon to be moved to the new building in Giza) and also the Bazaar. I asked a lot of questions and Sultan was able to answer them all! ***Also, Sultan took photos for me throughout the day and everyone says look like they were professionally taken. Great bonus!***

If you've ever been to Egypt you know that driving can very chaotic. Hats off the Omar for getting us around all day!

We had a great time with Emo Tours Egypt for several tours while we were in Egypt. We had Ahd on the pyramids tour and she was extremely knowledgeable. She took the time to explain the history of the pyramids and other pertinent information about Egypt. In addition, she took numerous photos for us. Surprisingly, we had her again for another tour, the Cairo day tour at the Egyptian Museum, Bazaar, and Citadel! This was a wonderful surprise! Again, she provided a personable tour. 10/10 recommend Ahd and Emo Tours Egypt for anyone traveling to the Cairo/Giza area in the future.

Mohamed Hamed was a fabulous guide. My wife and I expected to be on a bus but pleasantly we were in a car. Having a driver meant that Mohamed was able to interact with us. He was very pleasant and knowledgeable. It was like we had all the time in the world but still kept us on track. We had time to squeeze in a carpet tour. We watched them making carpets and had a tutorial. The fresh dates and hibiscus drink were a nice addition. Overall a fabulous tour, driver was great . I would highly recommend.
