Traveler reviews
We had a great Citadel and NMEC tour with Fatimah through Viator
Fatimah did an amazing job!! She was incredibly knowledgeable and did such a great job teaching us and explaining all of the history. She was also really engaging, charismatic, and fun to be around. She also picked out a great place for lunch. I highly recommend Fatimah and would absolutely do a tour with her again.
A great day out with Shina and Mohamed El Gabry
The excursion started a bit later as there was some confusion regarding the pick up point which already had been confirmed earlier when the booking was made. The problem was rectified after I got a response from Mr. Omer via whatsapp. First stop with our guide Shima was the NMEC. This is a must for first time visitors to Egypt as it gives the history in chronological order and the largest number of mummies are housed here. Shima our guide was very knowlegable and took us through the museum at a leisurely pace answering our questions. She then took us to the Citadel and then through old Cairo and lastly the bazaar. Shima was an absolute delight , always smiling and eager to accomodate our requests along the way. I highly recommend this tour and duo of Shima and driver Mohamed El Gabry.
SCAMMED by Emo Tours & guide
FOUR HOURS SHORT! Done by 2pm, back to hotel 2:30pm. Included Coptic Cairo but omitted the bazaar because my Emo guide Aya combined my private tour of NEMC with another woman (and cutting the bazaar). I wanted a refund of some sort and the company was completely unhelpful. They neither contacted the guide nor followed up with me.
Great ARMANDO (The guide) and the company. EXCELLENT TOUR
If there were 10 stars, I would put 10. Because the driver was good and punctual, but ABOVE ALL THE GUIDE IN ITALIAN, ARMANDO!! AN EXCEPTIONAL PERSON!!!! PROFESSIONAL (ARCHAEOLOGY GRADUATE) and really knows what he says and how to explain, PERFECT LANGUAGE AND FULL OF SYMPATHY. REALLY GREAT. ASK FOR HIM AND YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. I had a great day and a great memory of Cairo thanks above all to ARMANDO!!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 from Roberto Angioloni from Italy
Action packed 1 day tour of Cairo!
We had only 1 day to see everything we missed at the beginning of our Egypt trip. Without our guide Yasmen showing us around the Museum of civilization, the Citadel, the Coptic area and the Egyptian museum we would not have been able to see everything. She was very organized and knew how to navigate places like the Citadel and Coptic Cairo in a way that we could never do on our own. Even the Egyptian museum was much better with her showing all the important highlights. Lunch was great too!
