Traveler reviews
Perfect
An absolute success, excursion with driver only. Very flexible and fast. Just what we were looking for. I don't know what else to say but it asks me for 100 characters, so...
Half-day excursion to Dahshur, Memphis, and Saqqara
We went with Amir from Emo Tours and everything was great, he knows everything perfectly and speaks very good Spanish, he told us everything about both ancient and modern Egypt. Pick-up and car ride and lunch at a traditional restaurant recommended by him.
Excellent experience with Emo tour
Half-day tour to Saqqara, Memphis, and Dahshur, with the driver Amadeo (Ahmed) who was very nice and kind; he helped us with the purchase of tickets and also gave us useful suggestions, speaking Italian discreetly. Definitely a recommended experience.
Another piece of Egypt
We were picked up early in the morning from our Hotel by Saïed Mahmoud and Saïed Kamel. 2 very friendly men who provided us with car rides with the air conditioning, cozy chats, learning the Arabic language and could tell us all kinds of things about the places we have been. In Saqqara we stopped at the end for a look at the carpet school and were allowed to try out a piece of carpet here ourselves. We were shown around here by a very sweet woman who showed us all her artwork. Saïed Mahmoud made sure we were at ease, we didn't feel pushed to buy things and came across as very reliable. Afterwards we were delivered to the door of our hotel again. We had a very nice day. Thank you to Saïed and Saïed!
Wonderful journey
This half day tour was great. Ahmed was awesome as the driver. He took me to all the places on this tour. Thank you.
