Traveler reviews
Very nice guide.
Guide’s very nice, but English not easy to understand6 out of 10. Not knowledgeable about subject 5 out of 10.
Great tour!!!
This tour was a wonderful experience. Car guide, Ehad, showed us all the important aspects of each location. We were able to see the locations where the Holy Family stayed, including the cave they lived in for 3 months. It included the well the Holy Family drank from. Great experience!!! Well worth the money.
Highly Recommend
Our guide Wagih was a very good guide. I enjoyed everthing about the tour. The information provided was the perfect amount of information. We went on a Saturday and it turns out that was the best time to go. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who has an interest in the Coptic Churches.
Great tour & great tour guide
Sahar was a great tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and I learned a lot. She was very helpful and patient throughout the tour. Yasser Salah was a great driver. The pickup was right on time and the car was very clean. I highly recommend Emo Tours and will definitely book again if return to Egypt.
Great day in cooptic Cairo.
I had an amazing visit of important cooptic places. The guide was great, explaining very well and shared his experience. I felt very lucky because not all guides are like that. He loves his job and shares the best he knows. I felt safe and welcomed. It made it very enjoyable, like living the history as we were in the past centuries. The driver was also very patient and I could safely leave my bag in the car while visiting the places. I highly recommand this trip.
