Ayman is an excellent tour guide with Emo tours! We had pick up and drop off from our hotel that was on time. We went to see all the wonderful palaces listed. There was water waiting for us in the car. Ayman is very knowledgeable and taught us so much. He speaks great English and is very polite and professional. We always felt very safe with him. We also had an excellent driver. Highly recommend Emo tours with Ayman as your guide. This is a wonderful way to see more of what Egypt has to offer.

This was a really nice half day in Cairo. We started our trip with this tour and felt like we were able to see some interesting things that are maybe skipped by others coming here. One of our favorite museums we got to see on this tour included the weapons museum. We were able to see the evolution of some of the different weapons used from across the world. Additionally, we were able to see some different really beautiful gardens in the city as well. Our guide Mahmoud gave us a great intro to the city of Cairo as it was our first day and our driver Youseph was also very polite! This is a good

This tour is on the lower price end compared to similar offerings and does a good job for what it is. I was mostly tired of dealing with Cairo taxis and Ubers and wanted a no stress way to visit the palaces. This tour met those requirements. The tour operator is very efficient in communications and scheduling. There was a tour guide and separate driver which seemed a bit excessive for the tour. The guide was friendly but did not speak English all that well and had limited knowledge. Visiting the palaces filled in some gaps in 20th Century Cairo & Egyptian history not covered by the major museu

From the number of other tourists we chatted to on arrival in Cairo about this tour, we wondered why no-one had heard of the palaces and that they weren’t on people’s itinerary. In our view, they all missed out. The three palaces were all very different: one in the design of an Indian palace, one with over 300 bedrooms for the ruler’s wives and one with most ornate mix of Moorish and Arabic architecture. And yet… hardly any western tourists? Our guide Hakiem, and our driver for the day, Nasser, met us at our hotel out by the GEM and in Cairo’s traffic it took almost an hour to reach New Cairo/
