Enjoyable tour catered to our preferences.

My wife and I were here in summer so we didn’t want to do too much walking in the sun. For this reason we skipped the camel 9 pyramid photo op. We also skipped the bazaar because my wife isn’t big on hard sell and crowds. But our guide, driver and car were great and I’d recommend their service.

Thanks for a great trip!

My first time in Egypt was very good! I'm glad we used this tour for Giza. It is very difficult to choose our own transport in Egypt, and this tour was very good because we could leave our large luggage in the car and go sightseeing without it. The explanations were very good and easy to understand. You can have Egyptian food for lunch. Very tasty. I am very glad we booked this tour. To Sayed Mahmoud: Thank you very much for a very enjoyable day!

GREAT TOUR, GREAT COMPANY

We absolutely loved our two days with Emu tours. We had Tonsi look after us along with a great driver on day one. He took us to see the pyramids of Giza and the sphinx. He also took us to an incredible perfume shop and was so incredibly knowledgeable. We couldnt recommend him highly enough! He also organised our driver for the second day we were in Giza straight away and planned everything for us. No question! Yoseff was our driver day two and he was also sensational. He took us to saqqara, Memphis and the red pyramid. When we asked if he could take us somewhere nice for lunch, he took us to the most beautiful traditional Egyptian restaurant. Not only that but he organised it all so that he would take us to the airport after we were done to catch our flight out. Thank you Tonsi, Yoseff and emu tours for making our Cairo experience one to remember.

The Best Pyramids/Cairo Experience

We had a wonderful time with our tour guide and driver. We were concerned about coming on our trip and not being able to enjoy the pyramids. It was very clear that our guide Ahmed Essam not only has been doing these tours for a while, but that almost everyone that works in and around the pyramids know him. We felt incredibly safe, and we were never haggled or harassed. & this was in and around the pyramids. As soon as he caught anyone getting near us, he cut them off very quickly. We greatly appreciated him. We just wanted to learn about the pyramids and enjoy our opportunity to be there. He helped us grab falafel, as requested. He helped us negotiate with vendors for better prices. & we rode camels! We specified which souvenirs we were looking for and he helped us find them. He did offer additional activities (papyrus paper and something else), we nicely told him no thank you and he did not bother us. Also greatly appreciated. Thank you Ahmed. We know you truly made our experience that day, and we will never forget it.
