Traveler reviews
Memorable trip
The driver drove quickly and safely and was responsive to my requests. Although my private guide only spent a few minutes with me, his use of large photographs helped me find the most significant features of the site. Still, it would have better if he had spent more time with me.
Amazing experience
We booked at the last minute via Emo Tours and what a wonderful surprise. Driver Mohamed is an outstanding driver who surely drives and controls every corner of the way. The 6 hours drive passed so quickly, we were comfortably settled. What about our Magdi guide! Precise explanations, perfect mastery of Egyptian history and chronology. Perfect English. He is kind, very attentive. He answered all our questions with passion. It should be noted that even during the Magdi journey we told us the history of the monuments... In short, a professional and pleasant team. I can only recommend Emo Tours. Thanks again.
What a memorable time in Aswan and with a great guide!
Thanks to the guide, Mr. Samir and the driver, Hisham, for their devoted service for my visit to Aswan. The guide knows so much about Aswan and was patient to answer my questions, taking great photos when I was a lone traveller. My friends are jealous that I had a great time in Aswan!
Abu Simbel tour from Aswan
Enjoyable tour. Our guide Mustafa was knowledgeable and took good care of us throughout the day.The worrying part of the trip was that the driver was very tired at the end of the day and therefore our drive back to our hotel in Aswan was a nervous one. We were traveling back after sundown (3 hour drive from Abu Simbel to Aswan) and the driver needed to stop several times for a coffee and cigarettes to keep himself alert. Traveling at 120km/hr down the highway with a tired driver is not my idea of a relaxing end to an otherwise fascinating day at Abu Simbel.
