Very Worthwhile - I booked this at 11:56pm the night before, and got confirmation from the tour operator about 20 minutes later. My driver, Salah, showed up on time at 9am, and told me all about Sakkara and Giza during our ride. Salah was super friendly and a wealth of information. His car was comfortable, and always nice to come back to after hiking around the pyramid complexes. Definitely an excellent value and quality experience.

The ancient structures of Dashur, Saqqara, & Memphis are very impressive. A must visit on a trip to Egypt. - This was a very informative and comprehensive tour that included lunch. Our lady guide (unfortunately, I can't remember her name) was very knowledgeable & quite fluent in English. The driver was attentive & helpful. We learnt about the early stages of pyramid construction in Egypt - the Step Pyramid, the Red Pyramid, the Bent Pyramid, the reclining statue of Ramses II in Memphis were all very impressive. The lunch at the restaurant was quite good. Very early, we let our guide know that we were not interested in visiting shops. That worked out fine. Having had a bad experience on our previous tour to the Giza Pyramids, this tour kind of redeemed our previously held impressions of EMO Tours Egypt.

Thanks Somaya - Everything went perfectly well. Somaya was a nice guide, she took care of us, explained lots of things, and introduced us to different local discoveries as we had more time left (we visited a rug factory, we saw the papyrus fabrication, etc)

Wonderful day trip - Our driver helped us get the right tickets and picked the best order for us. It was incredible to see these other pyramids and you can go inside them, which was honestly pretty hard (red and bent). But what an adventure.

Great Trip inside Egypt - The experience was fine, the places are awesome and the driver was really kind, especially because I change the plans in the middle of the route, and he says "its ok, no problem".

Don't be surprised - In general very interesting. Pick-up was no hustel even though it was New Cairo area. The places are way better than the Giza pyramids. But the tour was not completely as in the description (she told us that we have seen the two places but we informed us about what we wanted to see, where they are located and we had even pics of friends to not miss it and that was obviously missing). That's the missing star. It was nice to see the carpet makers weaving, even though we wouldn't want to go there. I prefer rather seeing all tour places than carpet makers as we are only for a few days in town. The guide was nice, she gave her best to explain. A little bit less hurrying would have been nice.

The sites were very... - The sites were very interesting. However, the taxi driver was not the best. He wanted a tip of over 30 euros in the end. Ridiculous.

Poor English, many tourist traps - The guide's English was very difficult to understand. Every time I talked or asked a question, he replied "yaya", which usually meant he didn't understand or didn't pay attention. He also pushed a lot for me to spend money in tourist traps (rug shop, spice shop, souvenir shop, etc.), which he called government-certified "museums", and was visibly disappointed when I didn't buy anything. It's obvious that he is getting a generous commission on sales and doesn't have your best interest in mind. He also tried to bring me to a "traditional" restaurant which cost 20usd for a lunch (way more than what a typical Egyptian lunch costs). The destinations themselves were very interesting and the guide seemed knowledgeable, albeit it was difficult to follow due to his poor English.
