A truly great and professional company! - Our initial booking for a day trip to the West Bank of Luxor was with a different company that we don’t want to name. They supposed to pick us up from hotel at 9am but when nobody showed up after 30 minutes we contacted them by WhatsApp and first were informed that they would pick us up at 10am and then that our trip was actually canceled... (note, we learned after several days that it was actually not their fault but that of our bank back in Australia that blocked our credit card because of some security concerns, therefore making it impossible for the payment for initial booking to be processed) In those unexpected circumstances, we had to act quickly and find some way to save our day and in fact our whole 3 day trip to Luxor... We decided to contact Emo Tours Egypt who organized a great 1 day trip around Pyramids for us few days before, when we stayed in Cairo. We found on TripAdvisor that they actually do the "Private Half Day West Bank Tour to Valley of the Kings Queen Hatshepsut Temple and Colossi of Memnon"... We started chatting with them via WhatsApp around 9:35am and they kindly agreed to organize that trip for us on the same day! They did manage to assemble for us (in only 1 hour) a great team of a very gentle driver, Carlos, and a very knowledgeable and relatable guide Mostafa Awad. Carlos picked us up from hotel at 10:45am! We visited Valley Of The Kings, with three tombs included in the entry ticket plus tomb of Ramesses V & VI. Then we went to Hatshepsut Temple and as it turned out that we still had some time and energy for further exploration we asked on the spot if we could also add Deir El Medina to our itinerary. Mostafa called someone at Emo Tours and they agreed to do it for us! At the end of this amazing trip we stopped at Colossi of Memnon to take last few pictures. Finally, on the way back to hotel Carlos was kind enough to stop next to a supermarket so we could do a quick shopping. Emo Tours, you are a truly great and professional company, with the highest standard of customer service! When we come to Egypt again we will definitely like you to be our tour operator again! Thank you VERY MUCH! Adrian & Julie from Sydney

Highly recommended and good value for money. - This was a 'must do' tour during our visit to Luxor. We got a quote from the hotel we were staying at and it was far more expensive than booking through Viator. We had an air conditioned 9 seater minibus all to ourselves and our guide 'Monty' was really good. He clearly had a passion for Egyptian history and his enthusiasm was infectious - we learnt so much during our half day tour. Highly recommended.

Great experience at Giza Pyramids - The tour was exactly what I was expecting. Hend and our driver took me at my hotel at 9am. After a quick ride when Hend gave me an introduction history class about the pyramids and the region, we arrived at the place where we saw the 3 main pyramids ( actually seven). I could even go inside one of them. We finished with the Sphynx and went back to my hotel by lunch time. During the visit, Hend was great at giving details and stories about the pyramids+ taking great photos. It was no rushed and I enjoyed the experience.

Great Experience - Booked transport only. Plenty of time to see all the sites (which were all great) at our own pace; driver was friendly and drove safely; door to door pickup/drop-off. Exactly what we were after - would recommend.

Totally recommend - Fantastic experience with a wonderful guide (Salwa). She was exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly. We spent full time at all sites, with lots of information shared, followed by free time to take more pictures. Lunch was fab. Tour was a total of 9 hours. Pick up and drop off was smooth. Driver was great. Communication ahead of tour helped to confirm. Good value for money. Totally recommend this tour.

Not really good - Guide was normal, but the food was very bad and not in accordance with the price. The drinks not included had an extra terrible price…. Never Book the Meal in the plan!
