Traveler reviews
Amazing experience!
I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the excellent service I received during my tour to the Temple of Edfu and Aswan. The guide was exceptionally knowledgeable, professional, and well-experienced, providing detailed historical explanations while always being attentive and respectful. As a female solo traveler, feeling safe is extremely important to me, and he consistently made me feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for throughout the entire experience. The driver was equally outstanding—very careful, professional, and reliable, which made the long drives smooth and stress-free. Together, they worked as a great team and demonstrated a high level of professionalism and dedication to their work. This tour was truly one of the highlights of my trip to Egypt, and I would not hesitate to recommend this guide and driver to other travelers. They are a great asset to your company.
Aswan day trip from luxor
this trip quite overwhelming in term of time . so much to see , so little time. The guide info that the border between aswan and luxor will be closed at 5 pm, so we need to reach the border before before that time. Hence , we didn’t take lunch, instead we had given early dinner at luxor. They offered to reschedule the tour at 5am , it was really too early for us. A bit suggestion, may be reduce the itinerary, so tourist can really enjoy the trip. The driver were amazing , the tour guide just OK (standard service) . thanks to them who were trying their best to make the trip accomplished and we got back to Luxor on time.
Fantastic tour in Aswan with Samy
I reserved a custom tour in Aswan and my guide was Samy. He was an amazing guide who was incredibly informative and gave a great tour of the major sites in Aswan. Samy made the experience very fun and enjoyable and I would highly recommend him!
wonderful tour and guide
we had a great day on this tour,the sites were great and the guide was very knowledgeable about his subject,we really enjoyed the tour but it is a long day on some not so good roads
Good tour options with kind tour guide and cab driver
Fortunately, we stumbled upon a great tour agency that offered a wider range of options for exploring around Luxor and Cairo. They conveniently provided online payment options for various packages, eliminating the hassle of dealing with cash. We highly recommend this tour agency for airport and hotel transfers, as it offers a more affordable alternative to expensive hotel transfers. We booked two tours from EMO: a day tour to Aswan from Luxor and a day tour of Luxor’s eastern and western banks. Both tours were led by the same cab driver, Allah, and tour guide, Hamid. Both of them were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about Egyptian customs and practices for tourists. Hamid even took us to a fantastic authentic Egyptian local restaurant where the food and view were simply amazing. We’re planning to book tours from EMO for our visit to Cairo as well. Hamid took us to the Alabaster factory owned by EMO, where we bought a few souvenirs. However, be cautious of the overpriced items and bargain like you would in India.
