Desert Adventure - Leading up to my tour, the agency kept in contact with me throughout which put me at ease. The day started with a punctual pick up and my guide, Hakiem, welcomed me with a warm smile. The 2hour drive was comfortable and the WiFi in the vehicle was a great added benefit. The hospitality at the camp that I experienced was amazing not to mention the delicious meal prepared by the local family. The natural scenery was breathtaking and the Valley of the Whales was mind blowing - so much so I forgot about the heat. Hakiem and the drivers (Dsoqy and Mohamed) made my day trip unforgettable. I would highly recommend this tour.

Touring Giza and Alexandria - This is a great way to see the sights around Cairo. We were linked up with our guide, Nesma, straight from the hotel. She was informative, fun, and very professional. She was wutg us every step of the way as we toured the Giza plateau and the pyramids, and as we took a day ride out to Alexandria to see the sights there. All in all, I would highly recommend this touring company; they take care of you.

EMO tours with Mahmoud El Wakeel - EMO tours is the way to go! From Cairo, Giza, and Luxor we were provided with transportation and one on one explanation of the history and landmarks all over Egypt! Our tour guide Mahmoud was a complete professional! Also the city is a lot safer than you think! Highly recommended!

A Tour with Mahmoud El Wakeel - When I planned my trip to Egypt, one of my friends highly recommended Emo Tours to guide us through our journey through Egypt. Emo Tours has been nothing but exceptional especially our tour guide Mahmoud El Wakeel. Mahmoud speaks english very well and is greatly knowledgable in the historical facts of each site. He is wonderful. He was able to tailor our tour to our needs for example if we wanted to start our day later he would make the necessary adjustments for us or if one day was too packed with activities because we were tired, he would rearrange our schedule. Emo Tours and Mahmoud have made my trip to Egypt a positive and unforgettable one!

Amazing Tour! - My husband and I recently enjoyed our tours with Emo tours. All pick ups were very smooth and the company helped manage an extra night in Cairo. I would definitely recommend taking a Nile cruise as you can enjoy the sights in the morning and relax on board during the afternoon/evening. Our tour guide Ahmed Hakim was knowledgeable and kind hearted. I would recommend this company in a heartbeat!

Best Time Ever! - Guides in Cairo and Luxor were both knowledgeable, prompt, caring and provided us with a tremendous amount of information that enhanced our tour of these two cities. I taught one driver a new word, "Pampered" is how we felt. Thank you Viator! Hope to use your wonderful services again -- you the greatest value for our money!
