Excellent experience with very knowledgeable tour guide. Both tour guide and driver excellent. highly recomend
Sam was an incredible tour guide! Super knowledgeable about all sites. We were on a shorter timeline, so he kindly accommodated - picked us up at our hotel at 8:30am and dropped us back off by 12:30pm (12:20pm). He was very kind. Would definitely recommend!!
The guide we had, Reina, was excellent. We visited several mosques, and she was very informative about all. We went to the market. My wife and I were interested in some specific items (masks for me), and she helped us find the perfect ones. She also treated us to an authentic Egyptian meal. If you are in Cairo, you should definitely take this tour.
The tour guide assigned to us from Emo Tours was terrible! His name was Mohammed. It was a six hour tour that was only three hours due to his lack of guidance. We only saw the Salah El-Din Castle and Al Rifai Mosque. We were not taken to the other two mosques on the Viator itinerary. When walking us around the mosques, he was on his phone the whole time and only wanted to take photos of proof that he took us to a mosque for his reviews. He took us to Khan Al-Khalili but he made it a bad experience telling us everything there is fake and “made in China”. He kept telling us that he can take us t
Khaled our tour guide made the journey memorable. He is extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. Highly recommended. Shout out also to Mena our driver who made driving through bustling Cairo a smooth and enjoyable journey
Passionate Team Leader/Guide Ahmed Khattab ensured we were well informed, even drawing in other's to listen to he's entertaining and detailed description and background knowledge of the temples. Delightful excursion and well recommended - a must do!
