Confirmation was prompt... - Confirmation was prompt and the pickup was on time. I messaged the tour provider the day before, but they never responded. Upon arrival, the driver had to park at the end of the bridge because the Hilton didn't allow him to drive onto the hotel grounds. While he wasn't initially sure of the locations for two of the tombs, we found them after he asked for directions. Note to future travelers: Bring your own water, as none was provided. I also paid a total of 50 EGP for parking at Saqqara and Dahshur. Additionally, the driver asked for 10 EGP to tip the guard at Dahshur; I gave him 50 EGP and told him to keep the change for other tips. I only witnessed him tipping once, though he claimed at the end of the tour that he had distributed the full amount to various guards.

“Ancient Egypt on the road: Dashur, Memphis and Saqqara as you have never experienced them” - Yesterday, February 1st, we had a crazy day with guide Sam, exploring Dashur, Memphis and Saqqara. Sam welcomed us at the hotel and turned every stop into a journey into history. In Dashur, he guided us through the pyramids, recounting compelling details and even taking us inside a pyramid: breathtaking. In Memphis, among ancient remains, he entertained us with curiosity and culture. Finally, in Saqqara, the stepped pyramid left us speechless. Sam was not just a guide: attentive, kind and always available, he pampered us throughout the day, closing with a typical unforgettable lunch. Sam is one of those people you will never forget: super recommended!

Catered tour with great guide. Just what we wanted - This was booked last minute so we were a little short on time. Fady made sure that we visited the places that we wanted to go. He was very knowledgeable, very friendly and very helpful. The driver was also very friendly and stopped if we wanted to take a picture. This tour was much quieter and much more personal. Would definitely recommend

Not very knowledgeable guide. - I didn't have a good experience with Emo tours. 1st I waited 35 min for the pick up, even when I was proactively contacted the company trying to find information. I had to get help from a Egyptian person to contact the company and be able to tell me that they are late. And of course I had to give money to that person. When they arrived the guide told me that they inform the company fer the delay but didn't tell me. The tour itself was ok. I had a way better guide the previous day with another company. In the price a bottle of water was included but never got one even though the guide assured me about it. I'm glad that I had brought mine because I really needed one after the hike. Driver was good and professional even though he didn't speak English. It might be an isolated event, but this is what I experienced.

I Would Not Use This Tour Company Again - The guide was very nice but the trip was very confusing. A driver picked me up at my hotel and didn’t say anything. About a half hour later we picked up the guide. When we got to Saqara, the guide told the ticket agent what I wanted and I paid with a credit card. The guide took one of the tickets. Apparently I was paying for the car to enter. She never asked or told me. I noticed because the price of the tickets was different than the total. When we got to the second set of pyramids, the bent and red, the same thing happened again. When I asked her about it, she said it was only 25 Eqyptian pounds which is only about 25 cents. The other time I think it was 100. The money really wasn’t the point. It was the fact that I had already paid $65 for the car and driver. I contacted the tour operator and they said they would check. I never heard back from them.
