I was in Cairo for 24 hours due to my layover and Sayed Mahmoud and Islam showed me around. They took me to all the sites I requested and took good pictures.

We probably had the best guide, Sayed Mahmoud, and driver, Wayeed. Firstly, forgot my laptop bag at the airport and they calmly drove us back to find it, which I did. In true Egyptian hospitality, Sayed took us through all the areas we visited. Enjoyed the fact that he allowed us to go at our own pace and also really went above and beyond in introducing us to Egyptian history and culture. And he is an awesome photographer.

Punctual with excellent English he certainly knew a lot & obviously loved his job as a guide which he had been doing for a long time & it showed!

Ehab Hoba was the best tour guide. He gave great background on every location and knew all the best places for a photo op. The car was clean & both the guide and driver (Ibrahim) were very friendly. In one day we covered the pyramids, sphinx, Memphis, the citadel and Al Azar Park. My friend recommended Ehab to me and I am very happy I took her advice.

The day with Emo tours was amazing from start to finish. Very fun, informative, and organized. Everything from pickup and entrances were handled seamlessly. Would highly recommend to anyone touring Egypt!!! Ehab is very knowledgeable and a great photographer. Very willing to explain everything and stop for any photos you may want.
