Reviews for Emo Tours Egypt

Booked a pyramid day-tour for my solo trip. Mohamud is a relatively new tour guide but he was fantastic. Day-tour can be pretty exhausting because of the heat. But this might be the most efficient way to see Giza, Saqqara, Memphis in one go.

We truly had an amazing experience. Mahmood was a fantastic tour guide, who not only provided lots of interesting facts, but assisted with our entry to sites & navigation around the city. We booked the Private Alexandria City Tour and were beyond grateful for the consistent source of AC. Him and our driver were very accommodating to any extra stops we were looking to make along the way (McDonalds and some extra hydration), and went ahead and made purchases for us to ensure we weren’t given foreigner prices. We’re truly grateful for this experience and everything we learned along the way.

After a few days in Egypt and lot of problems with uber/taxis finally decided to hire someone. Mohamed was my driver today and I have to say this was my best experience in Egypt so far. He was punctual, respectful and so kind!! Couldn’t get a better driver to be honest! Really happy with the service and using it again for sure!! Thanks Mohamed and emo tours

(Translated by Google) I was lucky enough to find this operator and I couldn't be happier. Their customer service is impeccable, they're always willing to help, and their prices are very good. They operate in several cities in Egypt. We used them in Abu Simbel and Cairo. Thanks, Zizo! (Original) Tuve la fortuna de encontrar este Operador y no puedo estar más contenta.

If you are booking the flight tours make sure you check the bookings of avaliable flights yourself. I booked in March and was told only when asked a few days before the trip that flights are not avaliable for the chosen day. Even after confirming they are avaliable, they never made the booking. So not very good communication

Booked multiple tours with this company while in Cairo. The transfers were wonderful and drivers were excellent. The tour guides were knowledgeable and gave us enough time at each attraction while advising us on how to navigate scams, protocol etc. Would highly reccomend!

(Translated by Google) We booked four services with this agency well in advance: three excursions and one transfer: A guided tour of the pyramids of Giza, Saqqara, and Memphis with an extra felucca ride. The excursion was good and the guide (he told us to call him "Bob") was correct, but the "felucca" ride was on a large motorboat and so we expressed our dissatisfaction to the guide, he told us that with the wind it was dangerous to go on a felucca, we have experience sailing, even with a lateen sail, the wind was correct apart from that we could see feluccas under sail sailing on the Nile... The second excursion was A REAL RIDE, a camel "ride" around Giza, the "ride" consisted of going about 100 meters ahead, taking a photo (by the way, terrible) and returning, we expressed our dissatisfaction to the guide and he arranged another ride just like the previous one... This cannot be considered a separate excursion that cost us (food included) 50 dollars per person... The guide told us it was 20 minutes (which is not specified in the excursion description) but it wasn't even 10 minutes... and on top of that we saw people which was a much longer walk... The third service was a transfer from Luxor to Hurghada, an hour late from the contracted time... We had to send the location of the motorboat when we arrived in Luxor and so we did. They sent us another location that according to Google Maps was a one-minute walk away, but when we were heading there they told us it was closed, so we let Emo Tours know and they said they would tell the driver... If it weren't for the intervention of the motorboat jeweler Ciela (and the only person in all of Egypt who, when we went to tip him, said "No, please, I did it with pleasure") with whom we had taken the cruise and who had nothing to do with Emo Tours, we would still be waiting for the driver; he didn't know he had to go to a new location... I refer to the Swap screenshots... The last service was a tour of the old town, the Alabaster Mosque, the Coptic part, and the Egyptian Museum with a very capable guide, who was the only one with whom we didn't have any incidents... BASED ON OUR EXPERIENCE, I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS AGENCY AT ALL. IT IS BETTER TO HAVE EVERYTHING ORGANIZED BY A SPANISH AGENCY THAT CAN BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND NOT JUST WASH THEIR HANDS WITH "WE ARE SORRY" (Original) Contratamos 4 servicios con esta agencia, lo hicimos con mucha antelación, 3 excursiones y un traslado: Una excursión guiada por las pirámides de Guiza, Saaqara y Menphis con un extra de paseo en faluca. La excursión estuvo bien y el guía (nos dijo que le llamaramos "Bob") correcto, pero el paseo en "faluca" fue con un bote grande a motor y así le expresamos nuestro descontento al guía, nos dijo que con el viento que hacía era peligroso ir en faluca, nosotros tenemos experiencia en navegar a vela, incluso con vela latina, el viento era correcto aparte de que se veían falucas a vela navegando por el Nilo... La segunda excursión fue UNA AUTÉNTICA TOMADURA DE PELO un "paseo" en camello por el entorno de Guiza, el "paseo " consistió en ir unos 100 metros adelante, hacer una foto (por cierto, malísima) y volver, le expresamos nuestro malestar al guía y consiguió otro paseo igual al anterior...Esto no se puede considerar una excursión aparte que nos costó (comida incluida) 50 dolares por cabeza...El guía nos dijo que eran 20 minutos (que en ningún caso se especifican en la descripción de la excursión) pero no fueron ni 10 minutos...y encima vimos a gente que daba un paseo mucho mayor... El tercer servicio fue un traslado de Luxor a Hurghada, una hora de retraso a la hora contratada...:Teníamos que enviar la ubicación de la motonave cuando llegamos a Luxor y así lo hicimos, ellos nos enviaron otra ubicación que según Google maps estaba a un minuto caminando, pero cuando nos dirigíamos hacia allí nos dijeron que estaba cerrado, así lo hicimos saber a Emo Tours y nos dijo que se lo dirían al conductor...Si no llega a ser por la intervención del joyero de la motonave Ciela (y la única persona en todo Egipto que cuando le fuimos a dar una propina, nos dijo "No, por favor, lo he hecho con gusto") con la que habíamos hecho el crucero y nada tenía que ver con Emo Tours, todavía estamos esperando al conductor, éste no sabía que tenía que ir a una nueva ubicación...Me remito a las capturas del Swap... El último servicio fue una excursión por la parte antigua, mezquita de alabastro, parte copta y museo egipcio con una guía muy capaz, que fue la única que no tuvimos ninguna incidencia... EN BASE A NUESTRA EXPERIENCIA, NO RECOMIENDO PARA NADA ESTA AGENCIA, ES MEJOR LLEVARLO TODO ORGANIZADO DESDE UNA AGENCIA ESPAÑOLA A LA QUE SE LE PUEDAN EXIGIR RESPONSABILIDADES Y NO QUE SE LAVEN LAS MANOS CON "WE ARE SORRY"

Alexandria is an amazing city to visit and I would recommend trying to make it a part of your Egypt itinerary but perhaps not with this day trip or with this tour company. I found the tour guide to be unprofessional, spoke poor English and behaved in a scammy way. I was sold a cartouche which was of a completely different quality to what I was shown by the tour guide herself and was also taken to a scam tourist shop where everything was at a highly inflated price. As I was a solo tourist, I found this to be threatening behaviour as the people in the shop were super aggressive. The tour guide also got into a large screaming match in a public square with another local man in the middle of the trip for some supposed incident which was not very professional. Some of the tourist attractions themselves in Alexandria are not very impressive to begin with and was worse still that we only stayed like 5-10 minutes at each spot.

(Translated by Google) We booked train tickets with this agency two months in advance. We received no information until the day before our trip, when the tickets were simply cancelled. They then offered us a transfer from Cairo to Luxor by car with a private driver... A blatant scam, basically, to force us to book their driver. Luckily, we found a flight at the last minute. Do not trust this agency. (Original) Nous avions réservé des billets de train dans cette agence, 2 mois a l'avance. Aucune information jusqu'à la veille du voyage, où les billets ont purement et simplement été annulés. On nous a alors proposé un trajet le Caire/louxor en voiture avec un chauffeur privé.. Une belle anarque en somme, pour nous obliger à reserver leur chauffeur. Heureusement nous avons trouvé un vol a la dernière minute. Ne faite aucune confiance à cette agence.

Yousef Mahrous was a great driver and great guide, I recommend you to ask for him.

(Translated by Google) A reliable and professional agency with which we took two daily tours with a driver and guide (one to the Giza Pyramids and Museum, the other to Saqqara, Memphis, and the Citadel) and two transfers with only a driver (Luxor - Hurghada and CAI Airport - hotel in Giza with a stop at Khal El Khalil in between). Booking the tours through their website is very convenient, with immediate online payment (so you don't need cash). If you don't see the tour you're looking for, simply message them via WhatsApp with the itinerary you'd like, and they'll send you a link to a similar tour at the same price. The tour will then be customized on the day of the tour in consultation with the guide. The guides and drivers were very professional, accepting tips and thanking us without even looking at the amount (in fact, sometimes almost surprised to receive them). They didn't try to add any stops at factories or shops, and followed our instructions perfectly. One caveat: if you want an Italian-speaking guide (recommended: excellent!!), book in advance (paying via the link and sending a WhatsApp message with your reservation and specifying that you need an Italian-speaking guide). When we booked the tour just one day in advance, the guide was no longer available, and we had to resort to an English-speaking guide, who was excellent nonetheless (they asked us if an English-speaking guide was okay, and we accepted). Regarding the transfer, it's not possible to have the driver's number, but you are in constant contact via WhatsApp with the operations center to meet up at the agreed-upon locations. Keep in mind that the Cairo airport exit is very crowded, so it's not easy to meet up. However, throughout the entire trip, the agency was in constant contact via WhatsApp, day and night, so we were really happy with the service and would recommend it. (Original) Agenzia seria e professionale con cui abbiamo effettuato due tour giornalieri con autista e guida (uno piramidi di Giza e museo, il secondo Saqqara, Menfi e Cittadella) e due trasferimento con solo autista (Luxor - Hurghada e CAI Airport - hotel a Giza con stop al Khal El Khalil nel mezzo). Molto comoda la prenotazione dei tour tramite il loro sito con pagamento immediato online (così da non necessitare contanti). Se non si trova il tour interessato è sufficiente scrivergli via whatsapp con l'itinerario desiderato e loro mandano un link a un tour simile che ha lo stesso prezzo per il pagamento, e poi verrà personalizzato il giorno del tour in accordo con la guida. Le guide e gli autisti sono stati molto professionali, hanno preso le mance e ringraziato senza nemmeno guardare l'importo (anzi a volte quasi stupiti di riceverle). Non hanno cercato di aggiungere alcun stop in qualche fabbrica o negozio e hanno seguito perfettamente le nostre indicazioni. Unico accorgimento: se volete la guida in italiano (consigliato: bravissimo!!) prenotate con anticipo (pagando al link e inviando un messaggio whatsapp con la prenotazione e la specifica che vi serve la guida in italiano) perché quando abbiamo prenotato il tour con un solo giorno di anticipo la guida non era più disponibile e abbiamo dovuto ripiegare su una inglese, comunque bravissima (ci hanno chiesto se per noi andava bene comunque una inglese e noi abbiamo accettato). Per quanto riguarda il transfer non è possibile avere il numero dell'autista, ma si è continuamente in contatto via whatsapp con la centrale operativa per ritrovarsi nei luoghi stabiliti. Tenete conto che l'uscita all'aeroporto del Cairo è affollatissima, quindi non è facile ritrovarsi. Comunque per tutto il viaggio l'agenzia è stata sempre in contatto via whatsapp in qualsiasi momento del giorno e della sera, per cui ci siamo trovati veramente bene e la consigliamo

We did the 5 night 6 day package tour. This included Cairo and Giza, Luxor, Aswan and Abu Simbel Egypt. All 5 star accommodations. All of tours were my wife and I only, no one else (no other tourists) in our group. My first package tour, as I usually do all planning myself, but I would go with a company in a poor country like Egypt (like my native India) for ease of transport etc. Booking: I compared at least 3 tour companies. I chose Emo mainly for the itinerary as we had a late arrival in Cairo, and wanted to spend 2 nights (other companies had us leaving the next day). We did have to pay the entire amount in advance (other tour companies needed only deposits). We did an online booking. There were a few options (we chose the extra ticket for King Tut's tomb), but not all additions were listed (for instance we wanted to go inside the pyramids in Giza, which we tried onsite but our foreign credit card didn't work on the Egyptian site because of 2 factor authentication (no access to our home cellphone number). Arrival: Yes, the tour agent greeted us before customs (nice fellow) who got us the visa on arrival and walked us through immigration (so easy, this NEVER happens in any other country). After getting baggage he passed us off to our representative and driver, who dropped us off at hotel, where check in was easily done (Ramses Hilton downtown). Tickets: Company arranged all site and museum tickets in advance, with no wait at the sites, as well as domestic airline tickets (Star alliance Egypt Air). Hotels: All were 5 star and excellent, with awesome breakfast and rooms. We wanted a hotel close to airport on last day because of early morning flight, and they managed to change the downtown Hilton to an airport hotel I chose, the Novotel (although this took a little back and forth and persistence on my part, thanks to Omnia and ops team). Communication: Emo was available 24/7 for any issues (which I didn't have emergency wise, everyone was on time). I got an Egyptian e sim card so I could use WhatsApp for this (I highly recommend Orange travel sim, have used them in France as well). Cairo: Our guide greeted us on time the next morning, and we did the tour of Giza, Citadel, bazaar, and Egyptian museum. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, but there was a little language barrier (his second language was German rather than English, so 4 out of 5 stars I would give him). He never made us feel rushed, and we enjoyed our time. Even though they take you shopping with their preferred store, no obligation to buy anything and we didn't. Luxor: Our guide Sam was Excellent (5 stars), driver was great. Had a wonderful experience. He also gave us ample time to roam and do our own thing at sites. Again the obligatory shopping stop at the alabaster stone works not really necessary ( I would skip in future) Aswan: Our guide Zak (and drivers) were Excellent (5 stars). had a wonderful experience! We had him for two days as he drove with us to Abu Simbel as well. The obligatory shopping stop was at a spice store (this time we actually bought something because all pricing was upfront, Nubian coffee and hibiscus tea). We had some extra time after return from Abu Simbel, and our guide took us to Nubian village but didn't mention additional cost until afterword, which we felt a little uncomfortable about as we paid him in cash $USD 40, but confirmed as legitimate with tour company (again this was not offered in advance). Overall, highly recommend this company. Every excursion was private (I did notice their van at some sites, maybe these are for day tours by the company). Felt very safe. Lunches provided at each location (did have to pay for beverages including water, the guy at Luxor demanded a tip, but nowhere else was a tip needed). Every guide receives the itinerary in advance so you know what you are getting. I used the tip guide in trip advisor elsewhere for amounts to give each person, which was very appreciated by all.
