The tour was very informative, comfortable, and an amazing experience. Our guide Sayed Mahmoud was very knowledgeable and gave us all the time we needed to look around exhibitions (also a great photographer). Abdllah, the driver, made the drive to and from each venue was comfortable.

Better to provide some equipments like a small loudspeaker to the guide along with a dry run with the guide by the company

The Cairo day tour began with the impressive Citadel site, Hosam, my guide, freely shared all the relevant historical, religious and architectural information. He also was selling Photographic DVD's of Egypt - which I felt obliged to purchase. Next, we did not go to the Khan El Khalili Bazaar as the Tour I had purchased and I expected to visit, instead we went to some dirt road lined with shops which Hosam said had the only Certified Egyptian wears and these shops all seemed to be expecting us? I learned about Papyrus, and bought an art piece. Next, the highlight of the Tour was the Egyptian Museum, Hosam gave a general introduction along with descriptions of several pieces he deemed note worthy. He then left me on my own to explore. Our driver Yasel, was trustworthy, a safe driver - but the guide and I were unable to connect with him at the end of the tour because his phone! was lost?!? The guide and I had to walk back to my hotel from the Museum. Certainly was a different Cairo Day Tour then I expected.....

Absolutely phenomenal tour guide by Mohammed! From the mesmerizing Egyptian Museum to the historic Citadel and bustling bazaar, every moment was enriching and captivating. Their deep knowledge and passion for Egypt's history truly shone through, making this experience unforgettable. Highly recommended!

We did the EMO full day tour of Cairo Private Day Tour to Egyptian Museum Citadel and Khan Khalili Bazaar with the Car+Guide+Entry fees+Lunch option. All the sights were wonderful, the guide (Ahmed) was knowledgeable and the driver on time. However, we did not stick to the itinerary order. Instead of starting at Egyptian Museum, we started with the Citadel and Muhammad Ali Mosque. And finishing those two sights early, we went straight to Egyptian Museum at around 11:30 skipping lunch - we were not given an option. Needless to say, this cut short our time at the famed museum as we (with four kids) were hungry. We ended up having a very late 2:30ish lunch, which admittedly was good. We also spent hardly any time at the Bazaar which is a fascinating place (maybe 20 minutes - nowhere bear the 2 hours as advertised. The poor time/schedule management did not make for a good tour. While the first half was fine, the rest spent hurried and hungry.

Great day, Mona was our tour guide, very informative and knowledgeable. She explained the different periods in the Egyptian museum and pointed out the main pieces that were of relevance. We were then take to the Citdel and mosque which were great. We.asked if we could skip the market and change to visit the hanging church which the tour company were Hhappy to do.

The citadel was so pretty! As we were there during Ramadan the market was only half open in the daytime hours but still super cool to explore. We chose the Grand Museum and the scale of that place is off the charts!

Our guide was wonderful, and structured the day well so we got maximum impact without crowds. She was kind and helpful and great at giving our 9 year old some interesting history. Was a delightful way to see the city.

Overall very disappointing experience - not only did the tour start ~30 mins late, but it also ended very early (it was supposed to be 8-10hours and we were done in about 3.5hours). Feel like we definitely didn’t get what we paid for, and the guide while seemed knowledgeable didn’t seem to be putting a lot of effort into explaining things / everything felt quite rushed (for example, we only spent about 1hour at the Egyptian Museum and didn’t see all the rooms). Could also have spent more time at the Citadel as we only saw the mosque. Overall not a great experience, and not good value for money.

Our guide was amazing. She was very knowledgeable and shared many historical facts we did not know. She shared about the most important components of Egyptian culture throughout history. We wish we could have spent our entire trip with this guide!!

Ahmed Essam was an awesome tour guide, he was patient with us and operated the tour at our pace. We learned a lot about Egypt with Ahmed. Definitely the best guide we experienced in Cairo.

My tour guide, Lobna, was absolutely the best. Her explanations of the Citadel and Egyptian Musuem were clear and made everything come to life. Her love of her country and culture is apparent. A day with Lobna is just like touring with a girlfriend - easy and flowing with laughter. I inadvertently left my wallet in the hotel & was totally embarrassed. All Lobna said was "No worries - you are in Egypt" and yes - No Worries at all with Lobna.

The format of the tour is good. Pick up was on time we went to each of the replaces described. The Egyptian museum was amazing. The only problem we had was with our Tour Guide, she gave us way too much information, and when we asked to walk around on our own in the museum, she got aggressive and offended. She essentially told us we should come on our own time if we want to walk around by ourselves. She failed to realize that an eight-year-old didn’t wanna hear overly detailed information about every single object. Our driver was great.

The trip I had a few days ago (from Feb 5 to the 8th, 2024) was a blast! The driver, Mahmood, was quite professional, knowledgeable of all local areas and a nice friendly guy. He was awesome and made my stay in Egypt a memorable one! All the photos of all the beautiful tourist places were amazing! Emo Tours deserve more than five stars in their service and quality of its tour staff. All who I had the pleasure to interact or communicate with (from the rep of the airport, airport transfer, private care with driver, main office, operations staff and management) made my stay comfortable and enjoyable. WIll highly recommend your services; keep up the excellent work.

A great all inclusive trip again with Omar and Ihab. Pickup and drop off from our hotel. Traversing the crazy traffic in Cairo. Seeing the Citadel and the amazing Mosque of Mohammed Ali, just an incredible temple. The Egyptian Museum is filled with so many statues and relics. The room of relics for the boy king Tutankhamun Nebkheperure is incredible. You will see why he is famous for what was entombed with him. Don't take pictures in here, we missed the small sign and then were part of a group that was yelled at by the staff inside. Omar did a nice job of hitting all the highlight spots inside the museum and helping us understand the progression of history as we made our way around. Instead of going to the main Bazaar, we opted for another area of town with more reputable shops, our guides were more than accommodating.
