Great Tour!

We enjoyed our first tour with Emo Tours so much that we decided to book another experience with them for the next day! This tour was outstanding! Our guide, Mahmoud El Wakeel was outstanding. He really had a ton of knowledge about each of the locations on our tour and about each of the pieces in the Egyptian Museum. Mahmoud was also able to point out specific things for us to see based on what we were interested in, which was great! We really enjoyed our tour with Mahmoud, and our driver (also named Mahmoud), was great as well! I highly recommend this tour to others as well.
