Not only Pyramids and Pharaohs
Thanks to Haysam Said we visited a different Cairo. The synagogue, the suspended church, the Mohamed Ali mosque, the citadel... must-see monuments well presented and explained by our guide, in good Italian. Comfortable and efficient private transport. Absolutely satisfied. Highly recommended
A good overview of religious Cairo
Our guide Mahmoud was great, very friendly and welcoming and very knowledgeable. He was flexible with the sights happy to show us somethings not on the set program, and adapt as we went. He knew so much about the history of these places and is an egyptologist. He timed things well and we avoided crowds for the most part. We all felt very comfortable. Our driver was also professional and kept us safe on the roads. There were seatbelts in the vehicle which is important to us. We were also not taken to any shops (which we requested) which was great. The only issue we had was with the communication with Emo tours via WhatsApp. The person who communicated with us was an office staff person not our guide. He/she was really quite rude and unprofessional. We asked several times via WhatsApp where we should meet our guide at the airport and they just would not tell us this (just kept saying check your confirmation- which just said the terminal not where at the terminal), so we had trouble finding him on the day. Happy to recommend the tour, but just caution that if you are having airport pick up or need to deal with Emo tours directly you may have difficulty.
The religious sites were...
The religious sites were very interesting. Our guide and driver were very professional and we were very happy with the tour.
wonderful place where time has wormed into the past
I have to be honest, I enjoyed the Coptic Cairo and Islamic Cairo excursion much more. It was very interesting. It offers a wonderful view of all of Cairo, where you can take beautiful photos. I highly recommend it. Feedback
Knowledgeable guide, great tour..
This tour was a great experience. Omar from EMO Tours was very helpful in answering all our queries. Our guide, Ms. Salwa, was very knowledgeable and even knew perfect place to enjoy local vegetarian lunch. I forgot my specs in the car. Omar took all efforts to make sure I get my specs back before my flight back home. Recommend EMO tours for Cairo trips.
