Incredible time with Sayed Mahmoud and Abdallah in Giza! Sayed made sure to go to all of the best spots to see the pyramids and take photos, and was so friendly and informative the entire day! Was always checking to make sure it was the best tour possible and that we got to see and do everything wanted! Would definitely recommend to anyone coming to Cairo!

I gave 1 star to the Giza tour by its NOHA Guide, the truth is that I didn't like my experience, he pressured me to leave the tourist places, he told me comments "It's not worth it" and he took me to places where the itinerary was not written BEWARE, souvenir shop and papyrus shop, ask before taking it. It said 8 hours of tour and it was only done 4 because the guide arrived 1 hour later.

HOWEVER, I give 10 stars to the Luxor tour with Mr. Zacarías, pff incredible tour and great person, he even explains why water is liquid (it's a saying, but he explains it very well) the truth is that it was worth it. 8 hours of tourist duration. It exceeded my expectations with the previous bad drink.

Very disappointed and unhappy with the Emo Tours day trip to Giza. I wanted an Egyptologist guide to tell me information about the history of the sites. The guide they sent, Hussein, could not speak English to an acceptable level for an English tour. We did not understand anything he said and he could not understand us. He was not professional. He called us by the wrong names the whole day, did not know how to take photographs for us, got in the way of most of my photographs, and he got annoyed when I tried to ask the most basic questions about the history of the place because he could not understand my question. I would have learned more and probably enjoyed it more if I went by myself and read the informational signs. I do NOT recommend Emo Tours because they sent such an unacceptable guide for an English tour which I paid quite a lot for and expected a professional Egyptologist guide for that price.

Our tour guide was knowledgeable and personable! Our driver was very good and we were thankful to have him. Felt a little rushed at times but overall good tour and would recommend EMO tours.

Hereda was our guide all tour. He explained all things and resolved all dubts. We visited all places fast but with enhoug time. The tour was private and we've visited a lot of things. The
traditional meal was great. We visited a papirus shop without buy pressure and ride a camel (it's expensive and not necessary). We strongly recomend this tour.

This was a great experience. Our guide reached our hotel on time despite a last minute change in our pick up point. He was courteous and professional. The best thing was that he let us take our time in each of the places. He did also keep an eye on the time overall but then when we rearranged the agenda, he was super flexible about it. He even refunded us for the entry fees for one site that we decided not to go to! That was amazing. Overall an excellent experience and of course each of the sights is amazing.

I do not usually write feedback, but the experience I had was so perfect that I had to write. I booked the guide via emo tour and am super happy. in advance I agreed that they would pick us up from the airport, and asked them if they could time it so that we caught the plane back the same day, we did they drove us back to the airport at the right time without us having to hurry o We was picked up at the airport as agreed, we were greeted by a super nice guide named Seiyd mahmound and with the driver named waihd Both welcomed us WELL and were very nice and pleasant to be with during the whole trip! They had a very good mood and good humor and we laughed a lot during the whole trip! The guide was an expert on all information from everything about the history of the pyramids, and where to take the best and finest pictures! He also took some really nice pictures of me and my husband! Incredibly educational trip with lots of good information! The very best guide that I highly recommend !!!! He communicates well and is super good in English and answers all questions well! We were WELL taken care of from start to finish. The pyramids themselves are a wonderful experience, but these people made the experience and our trip a thousand times better !!!! I would recommend our guide to everyone! We were also taken to a super good lunch, incredibly good Egyptian food and clean and very good quality food !! Many thanks to Seiyd mahmound and driver waaihd for making our trip the best experience! We felt at home and felt that we knew each other from before
