About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- TCOhooligan0 contributionsThe wonders of TutankhamenSayed Mahmoud was a brilliant guide, he showed us around the museum, the highlight of which was the Tutankhamun exhibition, Rita has wanted to see this for many years, it was wonderous. Rita has learning difficulties and Sayed was a model of patience with her, answering her questions and listening to her when she shared the knowledge she had of Tutankhamen. The tour delivered everything we wanted, and more. Sayed was a wonderful guide and when I requested not visiting the market, due to the stress felt at these places he agreed to remove that option, for which I was very grateful. Thank you Sayed.Written December 11, 2024
- patr_ciaj2190 contributionsWonderful Cairo experienceThe whole experience was amazing. We saw many places which are not possible to explore by yurselves. Our guide Sayed mahmoud took very good care of us⭐️ with his help we were able to discover beauties of Cairo in a deeper level. We highly recommend booking your trips with Emo tours😊Written December 10, 2024

- lyndamW9752QS0 contributionsGreat 'wingmen'Had an amazing time. Tonsi and Omar were brilliant. They made it all really good fun and really looked after us. We were quite a large group of British ladies and they totally 'got' us and had our backs all the way. Felt very secure and just had a really fun vibe. Strong recommend.Written December 9, 2024
- Paradise400852236030 contributionsEnjoyed the tourWe 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.Written December 7, 2024

Everything well organised , excellent and complete explanation on history of Egypt and pyramides. He tooks picture of us, no rush we had time to look around. Five stars private visit with Aladdin. Thank you 🙏🏻Written December 2, 2024
- 743janhenrikm0 contributionsA perfect day to remember.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 👏☀️😊Written December 1, 2024
- fronicas0 contributionsGreat day filled with history and magicWhat a great tour this was! We flew in from Sharm el-Sheikh to Cairo in the morning and returned in the evening. The day was filled with incredible history with a knowledgable and engaging guide that knew all of the very best spots for photos and seemed to be connected to everyone. Our guide Aladin made sure that our day was special and customized our activities and timing to make sure we were able to fully enjoy the day…and we did!! 5 out of 5. Highly recommend.Written November 30, 2024
- N8760WZtimo0 contributions2 Days in Luxor West- and EastbankThe last 2 days were exactly how I wished me the tours. Ahmed in Luxor is a very good guide and he could answer all my questions. Thanks 🙌Written November 30, 2024
- Happiness633181600570 contributionsBrilliant dayWe have had a fantastic day today with our guide Sayed Mahmoud and driver Muhammad. We went as a family of 4 with an 8 year old and 7 year old and are so glad we booked because, we felt completely safe in crazy Giza. They looked after us for a full day and kept the children entertained. The children said it was 10/10. Sayed was very knowledgable about all things Egypt. I really don’t think that we would have enjoyed the museum the same without him. FantasticWritten November 25, 2024
- marialuisad5460 contributionsPyramids blissAbsolutely a great tour. Every time I visit Egypt , I make sure I book a tour with Emo. This time I took my family and they all had such a great time. Big thanks to Mr. Tonsi for making sure we had the best experience possible. Book any tour without hesitation . This company is very reliable and the tours are so wonderful.Written November 24, 2024
- 162AG0 contributionsEmo tour guides are a scam.We took the guide + driver + car package from Emo tours for a family of 4. Good aspects: The van was very comfortable. Driver was good and we felt safe & comfortable throughout the drive. Now coming to the things that spoiled the experience : The Guide. At the start of the trip, before he said anything to us about himself / the trip etc - he said the tour was for 8 hrs and we need to be back by 4 PM. We later realized that the trip advertised is for 9 hours according to emo tours' own product page and receipt (on their website). He just blatantly lied. Then, right after reaching the pyramids complex - he said we need to be fast and get out of the place soon so we can to complete the other sites because they close at 4 pm - which was also untrue. He said we could spend 20 mins here. We were given a 5 min explanation of the the pyramids and then told take some photos and get back onto the van. We protested as this was to be the highlight of the day and spent more time. It seemed like an unnecessarily hurried experience. Next stop was to be Dahshur. While we were driving to Dahshur the guide kept telling us that the pyramids of Dahshur could be seen from Sakkara in the distance and we could skip Dahshur. Even though our tour package included Dahshur this seemed like again a harrassing conversation to have. Again some protesting from our side and we finally reached Dahshur. No explanation given here. We were asked to explore on our own and the guide just sat with the driver and had lunch. After this we were taken to Memphis. Again no explanation - we noticed most other groups were accompanied by their guides and the guides were explaining the artifacts etc to them. After Memphis the final site was Sakkara - it is an amazing site and key to understanding the origins of the great pyramid - luckily we had done some reading earlier so discussed what we observed amongst ourselves. The guide just pointed to the step pyramid and that was it. Again here he lied that the site closes at 4 and kept rushing us. It almost seemed like he was there to chaperone us not guide us. The site closes at 5 - so he had lied once again. If you absolutely have to do the tour with Emo, I would recommend get the car + driver package. The quality of their guides is unreliable and will spoil your experience.Written November 24, 2024

They were very flexible with our itinerary and helped us drop off at the GEM after the tour.Written November 22, 2024

We had a very good day visiting the pyramids of Giza and the sphinx following by Memphis Sakkara. The trip was very informative thanks to our tour guide Mr. Sayed Mahmoud who was requested by us by name before booking thanks to the good reviews we have found about him and that was the best decision made by me and my husband . he was very professional , on time and every thing was as promised .
Not to forget the driver Ehab who was making sure all the time that we are comfortable and having a good time .
Overall , our experience was one of the best .

My friend and I found this company through facebook group Girls love Travel(big girls group from all over the world who are passionate about travelling and love to share experiences). We were not disappointed with our day. Our guide Mahmoud El Wakeel was excellent, kind, polite, very knowledgeable and spoke very good english. Our driver Amit was also very kind and professional. We learned a lot about Ancient Egypt history.
They took us to some shops if we like, but there was no pressure to buy anything. No one was pushy and everybody was lovely with us.
Thanks Emo tours for that great experience!

Our guide was sayed mohamud. From the beginning he told we can take it relaxed tour no hurry. But he began journey on unimportant places and spent much time on memphis. But giza pyramids were last to visit and it was hot like hell bcoz it was late. We shud have began tour from pyramids. He was rushing ys from pyramids only to taje us to his friends shops.. we could have taken good look. He fidnt even let us go near sphinx or pyramids and took all crappy photos and snapped at us to hurry. Driver was good though

Hamada Eid & Sayed Mahmud gave us an outstanding day tour of the Giza, Bent & Red Pyramids. Not only was Sayed knowledgable, but he also went out of his way to customise the tour for us. Would recommend him with no reservations

Sayed Mahmoud gave us a very nice tour. Welcomed us at our place in the morning with water, brought us to the Giza pyramids, and was very informative. He was truly wonderful; he brought us to safe and trustworthy places. Many times we went to shops that showed us how to make carpets or paper which was amazing and there was no pressure to buy. Memphis was also lovely. Car with air conditioner was always readily available so I did not overheat. 5 star. I do recommend.

We had a wonderful tour visiting the pyramids , sphinx and a trip to Saqarra. It was really an enjoyable tour and a life time experience.
Our tour guide Ahmed Saleh was wonderful as a person , knowledgeable and helpful. He gave us beautiful narration of the various spots we visited with him . He seemed to know enough of history and culture of the place.
The lunch served during the tour was also delicious .
Would like to go back again and highly recommend to others.

The service is normal, it is no bad but is also no the best. You can do fun in the tour. The guys are friendly but they want to sell you everything from their friends in the shops. They spoke almost all the time in Arabic, which is totally fine but sometimes you have the sensation that they speak about you. In the end was a great day with them but they practically force you to write a good and excellent comment in TripAdvisor in front of them.
