Traveler reviews
Excellent experience with Emo tour
Half-day tour to Saqqara, Memphis, and Dahshur, with the driver Amadeo (Ahmed) who was very nice and kind; he helped us with the purchase of tickets and also gave us useful suggestions, speaking Italian discreetly. Definitely a recommended experience.
Another piece of Egypt
We were picked up early in the morning from our Hotel by Saïed Mahmoud and Saïed Kamel. 2 very friendly men who provided us with car rides with the air conditioning, cozy chats, learning the Arabic language and could tell us all kinds of things about the places we have been. In Saqqara we stopped at the end for a look at the carpet school and were allowed to try out a piece of carpet here ourselves. We were shown around here by a very sweet woman who showed us all her artwork. Saïed Mahmoud made sure we were at ease, we didn't feel pushed to buy things and came across as very reliable. Afterwards we were delivered to the door of our hotel again. We had a very nice day. Thank you to Saïed and Saïed!
Wonderful journey
This half day tour was great. Ahmed was awesome as the driver. He took me to all the places on this tour. Thank you.
Expert knowledge and very informative.
Mohammed and Mohammed were fantastic. Plenty of knowledge and experience. Made us feel fully informed. Also loved the space given every so often to do our own thing - especially handy for photos. Mohammed was also great at taking pictures.
Excellent tour!
I'm so glad I booked this tour, the whole process from booking and coordination until dropoff was hassle-free! First of all, I was in a bit of a time crunch so I mentioned that I cannot handle any delays, and as discussed pickup was on time. Pickup and dropoff is available from your hotel, which is really convenient! I'm especially thankful for Ahmed, my driver, who was friendly and flexible enough to fit my needs and interests. He also knew about the history and shared interesting facts along the journey. It was good to have someone to drive you around, I'm not new to solo traveling but I see now that it would have been difficult to find my way back to Cairo if I had just relied on Ubers. Towards the end of the tour we really bonded and he was even telling me about his family :)) <3 p.s: i see in some reviews that they were FORCED to visit shops and restaurants, but this was not the case for me. I simply said that I'm not interested.
