Definitely recommend the Citadel tour

rhondatempleton, Mar 2023

Lobna was so knowledgeable, friendly and the perfect guide. Would definitely recommend this tour. The citadel tour was absolutely wonderful.

Best Egyptian Museum Tour

Rie_H, Feb 2023

Luckily we found a tour guide who can speak our mother language (Japanese), Honey ( could be wrong spelling). He has a deep knowledge of the history of Egypt and showed us the most important place at the museum. Normally I don’t like to spend too much time in museum but this time I had a great time because of him. He is very kind and patient as well. I strongly recommend to find a nice guide. I am sure you can find one from this company. Also a driver is very important in Cairo. The driver was one of the best!!

Get the big idea about the history with tour guide.

nirwanuddin_a, Oct 2022

Our day with Mr.Ali Nagoya was perfectly fine. He is knowledgeable person about the history. We just so sad that we don't have enough time with him for him to explain a lot of thing.

Good tour, skip the bazaar

MariaM_T, Oct 2022

This is a nice tour that I enjoyed. Didn’t like the bazaar, I thought I would die in there as vendor are too aggressive. There was almost a fight between them and one of them grab my friend and did want to let her leave.

Amazing full day tour

Levi_M, Jul 2022

It was a great experience! Wonderful way to see the city and know more about the history of Egypt!!!

Nice tour

Raychel_H, May 2022

This was a nice tour of some sights in Cairo. Our guide Khalid was nice and knowledgeable. Worth it if you want to learn about some background about items in the museum and to visit the market. The lunch was tasty and in a nice restaurant.

Good trip for first day through Cairo. Gets you to all the interesting spots and must sees in the city.

Wealth of Knowledge Tour Guide

Caitlin_A, May 2022

The most knowledgeable tour guide, Rabi, of our stay in Cairo. He was very informative, giving details about Cairo that one would never have expected. He showed us the highlights of the museum and was very detailed in his explanations at the museum as well as at the Citdael/Muhammad Ali Mosque. Only suggestion: when in an area such as the museum it would come off and make the guest more comfortable if he were to wait if other groups finished before he got us up to the exhibit (there were a few times during our museum tour where he would step in front of other large groups and pull us to the front of the exhibit even though the other groups were there first). Other than this he made us feel very comfortable, he made us feel welcomed , he provided us with a wealth of knowledge which was amazing.

Geat tour and tour guide!

Maria_M, May 2022

I would definitely recommend this tour. Ahmed was the best! He is very knowledgeable and passionate with his job. He really cared and made his best to create a great overall experience for us.

Excellent tour in Cairo

Mariana_P, Apr 2022

Our tour in Cairo was great. Ayman our tour guide was great, polite and very knowledgeable. He’s fluent in English. He went above and beyond to answer all of our historical and cultural questions. We enjoyed the tour with him so much that we booked more tours with him the following days. The agency Emo Tours were great in accommodating all of our requests. We highly recommend it and we would do it again. The tour combines very interesting parts of the history and culture of Egypt.

Aydin_B, Apr 2022

Our guide Khaled was absolutely awesome. The best ture guide we had in Egypt so far. He did a very good job to share his immense knowledge of the Cairo and sutes we visited on the toure day. I highly recommend this experience with Khaled. Our driver also dod a fantastic job to navigate us through Cairos trafic.

Egyptian Museum, Citadel, Khan Khali Bazaar and Cairo Tower tour - not to be missed !!

Eugenia_P, Mar 2022

We were picked on time from our Cairo Hotel for a wonderful end exciting day of visits to the Cairo Egyptian Museum, The Citadel, Khan el-Khalili Bazaar (where he help us haggle the Egyptian way), ending with lunch at the Cairo Tower. Our driver was accomodating and specially skillful manouvering through the complicated Cairo traffic and our guide Sayed Mahmoud took very good care of us, was very attentive, knowleageable and courteous. He had a world of explanations and stories to tell us about Egypt and its history and made our tour thoroughly enjoyable and educational. We arrived back at our hotel on time to join our tour group. All in all, it was a wonderful experience to visit the places we had read so much about !

Nearly perfect

Colin_L, Mar 2022

Cannot fault our guide Abdul, he was superb. The only issue is the itinerary. Really the bazaar is about going to a tourist market, not a bazaar. Also, whilst the citadel is worth a visit. You really only see the mosque and get a view over the city, which is often covered but smog and sand dust. Also, the time you get anywhere is dictated by the traffic which can be horrendous to say the least! In hindsight I would have opted to instruct our guide to miss the bazaar and visit Coptic Cairo or something like that. That said we had an enjoyable day and again the tour operator, EMO, were great

Phenomenal first day

Jaclyn_W, Feb 2022

Khalid was great! Very informative but was also able to explain things in an easy and digestible manner. He was our first tour guide in Egypt and he was one of our favourite tour guides. The bus was extremely comfortable and ready to go when we were.

For ancient history, take this one.

JOHN_K, Oct 2021

I wish that there were a sixth star for rating. From the moment he picked me up, though all the sights, until the end, my guide was friendly and well-versed in the culture and history of everything we visited. He was able to answer questions that weren’t even related to the tour. I strongly recommend this, and Mohamed (I think that was his name).

Great Day!

John_S, Nov 2020

Just perfect. Guide was interesting, professional and spoke excellent English. Our day was over all too soon, but the memories will be long lasting!

Excellent guide and driver

Carlos_V, Nov 2019

Our guide Menna was extremely kind and knowledgeable and made a great tour, on of the best guides I’ve had! Mahmund was also a very friendly and responsible driver, 100% recommend them!

Very good

Luz Marina M, Oct 2019

This was a very intetesting tour, we enjoyed it a lot, the guide had a good knowledge of the places we visited, it seemed he was a bit in a hurry, but apart from that, everything was perfect

Sidrah.rizwan, Oct 2017

Again, Emo Tours is awesome and our guide Ismail did an amazing job on this tour as well. He actually went out of his way and helped us purchase souvenirs at Khan El Khalili Bazaar. The Museum and Mosque were a perfect combination.
