5.00Excellent tour. Picked up outside port. Driver Mohammad was very good as was our guide Ahmed. Never felt unsafe going on our own and far better than being part of the 37 tour buaes lvg on Ship tour. Saw everything we wanted at our own pace and at a cost half the cruise ship price. Highly recommend.

5.00Our ship changed it's itinerary which through a wrench into our original booking. Emo's tour took it all in stride and altered the dates and times without complaint...even picking us up at 5:30 am and getting us back to our ship early. Mohammed and his driver were outstanding.
Growing pains - but worth the view!

4.00This was to be the highlight of our cruise - the pyramids. After sitting in the small bus for over a hour and 20 minutes we finally started on our way. Marwan our guide apologized and said they were a brand new company and were still working out some things. (Emo Tours Egypt). The drive to Cairo from Alexandria is about 2 1/2 hours without a lot to see along the way. When we arrived at Giza, Marwan was full of information. It would have been great if he/the company had been able to pre-purchase our tickets as we had to stand around for at least 20 minutes since there was quite a line. But it was worth it in the end to see the pyramids and to learn about the history of their making. We had a fabulous lunch at an authentic Egyptian restaurant. We also visited a papyrus making shop. I think if you give this company a couple of months to work out a few things they will be great to tour with. Marwan was a wonderful tour guide. Note that you will have an armed escort with it at all times.
Glad we went to see Pyramids but more than annoyed by bait and switch

3.00Pros. Knowledge guide. Knew schedule and what would work for us Cons: BAIT AND SWITCH. Reserved private tour. Several days before told small group and offered 10% discount or could cancel. Not fair! We had to spend more time at carpet shop and Papyrus “museum” aka store. If it was our private tour we wouldn’t have done at all. Guide knew English but hard to understand
