El Fayoum Pyramids Day Tour from Cairo

Great experience. You’ll see the real Egypt in the countryside outside of Cairo. Three interesting and distinct pyramids. At each of them, I was the only visitor. Such a different experience from the crowds at Giza. You can go inside all three pyramids as well as a masts a tomb at Meidum, where you need to get on your hands and knees to crawl through a tunnel. The closest you’ll come to Indiana Jones in real life. Asma was a great local guide. Mohamed the driver was prompt in pickup and did a great job of handling the curveballs of a nontraditional tour. This tour was one of the highlights of my visit to Egypt.

Menna was an amazing guide! She explained the history of Egypt in a very simple and engaging way, making it easy to understand and enjoy. She was especially interactive with my daughter, involving her throughout the tour and making the experience even more memorable. She also took the most beautiful photos of us at the pyramids and knew all the best spots for pictures. Menna was kind, patient, professional, and full of positive energy. We highly recommend her to anyone visiting the pyramids. Thanks to Menna, our tour was truly special and unforgettable! 😊🇪🇬✨

Beyond the tour being poorly organized, the description on Viator is misleading. Despite the overview of the tour claiming that everything is included in the price, in reality nothing other than the pickup is included in the price. You will still have to pay for each pyramid and in my experience, no lunch was provided. And despite this misleading nature, Viator will not doing anything about this. I guess it must be okay to mislead customers on the platform. Oh, and if you want a tour guide that will actually provide any information or even talk to you, this is not the tour for you. At each pyramid, we were told to wander around without any true introduction to the site or him even accompanying us. Our tour guide spent more time talking to the employees at the pyramids than to us. Truly it was a disappointing experience. So, if you want to see the Fayoum pyramids, please find another way to do so. Otherwise, you will leave feeling disappointed and like you have been scammed.

Hassan Karem was the perfect guide for the trip. He knew the sites very well, gave the perfect detailed explanations and more! We had a good driver Magdy Fouad. They listened to all my special requests for bathroom and food stops. I'm glad that Emo Tours was able to arrange the tour on a short notice. The tour was also fairly priced compared to the other offers.

A very interesting off-beaten tour for people who want to learn more about ancient Egypt besides Giza pyramids. The guide Salem is highly professional and very attentive to tourists.
