Traveler reviews
Tour locations were great except the store stops
Seeing the pyramids was amazing! The tour experience was average though. Would prefer it the communication with the operator or the activity plan was clearer. The saqqara was great, but entering Dashur pyramid wasn’t worth it, even if it’s free. Also, stopping by every stores for shopping pitfalls were a waste of time. We didn’t really need to stop by the alabaster store, for example. Also, the carriage ride to the pyramid viewpoint wasn’t included in the tour.
thanks guide Sem
We started with a problem, but our guide, Sem, managed to fix things and made our day a pleasant one! Thanks, Sem, great job!
Excellent day to the Pyramids, including Sakkara, Dhasur and Memphis
Our trip with Mahmoud was excellent. He was kind helpful and informative. The driver was also polite and careful.
Made my mom’s dreams come true
My mom had it on her bucket list for years to see the pyramids in Egypt. She loved this tour. She was very happy the whole time and our duo of Mirna and Muhammad (tour guide and driver) were great. They were very polite and kind. They both have good hearts and Mirna isn’t afraid to tell the vendors when they are wrong. It was a full day tour and had great variety. As for the locations I would give a huge warning that if you aren’t an active person or have asthma or heart issues, I wouldn’t recommend going into Dashur. This is a good tour that includes many sites, I recommend choosing the lunch option, it is light with grilled meat, a variety of side dishes from salads to pastas. I would say all the shop stops that work with the tour company are a pricey but it’s a good experience to go to. And although of course they would like to make a sale, they are not pushy. Mirna Mae’s sure of that. I say it’s worth the money for the tour. You aren’t going up close or inside for all the pyramids, so if that’s what you are hoping then this isn’t for you.
Don't leave everything to the tour guide, plan it yourself !
It was not a great experience with Emo Tours due to very bad planning...For this 8 hour tour, the guide need to complete each location on time ( less talk and more exploring ! ). The best schedule is to complete Giza pyramids, Sakkara and break for lunch in Sakkara. Then continue Dahshur and finish with Memphis. Our guide got it completely wrong and we ended up having lunch at 4 pm !! ( and we started our tour at 7 am ). It was so tiring and the guide just won't listen ( I had exactly the same tour 5 years ago with Emo Tours and it was fantastic !! ). The guide was knowledgeable but pathetic on managing time !
