A Wonderful Day - Transportation from my hotel, which was out of the normal pick up zone, getting to each location, and getting back to my hotel was very nice and simple. Driver pointed out places of interest along the way and engaged in conversation which was great. Tour guide was passionate and knowledgeable, he really made the entire experience wonderful. The opportunity to go inside the multiple mosques and really get a better understanding and appreciation for the culture and art was my favorite part. All of the places we visited were filled with lots of history and beauty, truely greatful I went on this tour. I also really enjoyed the lunch as it was a buffet, allowing me to try lots of different items. Highly recommend this tour!

Amazing experience - A big thank you to our tour guide Salwa Ebrahim who was not only a tour guide but an Egyptologist and specialist in Graeco-Roman archeology, very educated and we got more of the value we paid. A big thank you to our driver Walid that made this tour memorable plus the lunch was really delicious 😋 we recommend this amazing tour.

Amazing Time - Isaac and our driver was amazing. Isaac explained everything thoroughly at each site and always had time for our questions. His knowledge of the city was beyond our expectations. He also gave us tips on how to navigate the city on our own. Would highly recommend him!

Interesting visit - The visit was interesting, I really appreciated the guide Mohammed who spoke excellent Italian. I asked to add the Mammeluk cemetery (I paid extra 15 euros) which I highly recommend.

A driver was late and... - A driver was late and explanation was contradictory and rather false. I asked extra for a guide and they were confusing about the price and tricked me to include tickets in this. Shady practice. I would recommended sticking to a driver service only as you can easily purchase tickets (EGP770 per adult) and guide’s information was rather limited and not entertaining. A car was in a good condition.

Worst experience and money wasted - The guide provided basic information which one could easily read on the placards provided by each site. The guide missed on few sites, upon requesting to visit the sites, he complied and hurried. The guide had limited knowledge and was disinterested in the tour. He made sure he favored the people who were fleecinv tourist on sites. Fir example one of the sites was selling plastic cover for shoes to enter the site. Instead of advising it as unnecessary he made me pay for his and my shoe cover, upon entering the site I found the other visitors weren't covering their shoes with plastic cover and were going around with socks!!! He was not bothered shielding from the harassment on the streets and Bazar and actively encouraged it. Please do not book this tour as the guide money is wasted. The driver drove like he was racing through the streets of Cairo narrowly missing crashing few cars.

Basically a scam! Avoid this company - This tour company is terrible! Practically a scam. 12 hrs before the tour they said they had no record of our booking (despite several emails). Viator customer care and tour company kept blaming each other and didn’t want to do anything. Definitely the last time I’ll ever book anything with Viator or Emo tours. In the end they sent us a guide who was ok and a car that was basically falling apart. Worst ever.
