Great tour of Islamic and Coptic Cairo - We went on this tour with Hosam Kamel as our tour guide along with a safe, polite driver. Hosam is incredibly knowledgeable and fiercely proud of his country. He treated us like part of "his dynasty" for the day. His English is excellent and he clearly knows a lot about each site visited. The standard tour includes a visit to an Egyptian cotton store that didn't interest us, and we skipped the time at stores recommended by the tour companies. We opted instead to just visit the historic sites and then enjoyed a nice meal on the lake before heading back to our hotel.

An excellent introduction to the city’s religious significance with Islam, Coptic Christian, and Ancient Egypt. - I had a fantastic experience on the Cairo Private Day Tour with Emo Tours. As a solo traveller, I really appreciated how personalised the day felt—my guide, Muhammad, was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and paced the tour perfectly. He struck a great balance between sharing information and giving me time to take it all in, and was always open to questions. The tour itself covered a wide range of Cairo’s history. We started with Islamic Cairo, where highlights included the impressive Citadel and the beautiful Al-Hakim Mosque. We then moved into the Coptic quarter, exploring sites like St George’s Church and the historic Fortress of Babylon. To finish, we touched on Egypt’s roots with a visit to a papyrus workshop, where I learned about traditional techniques. This was a well-paced and flexible introduction to Cairo that left me excited for the rest of my trip. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good introduction to the city.

Recent history - A good and patient driver made the trip more pleasurable. Good value for the money as well. We got to see more of the recent history of Egypt - the Jesus time and the even more recent Mamluk dynasty periods.

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!

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.
