Amazing day to see the lesser known pyramids, which are truly special. - Really important trip to do, to escape the main tourist route. Incredible visuals and history from the tour guide. I was sick on our day trip here, and she was very understanding. Good at taking photos too!

Great trip to Sakkara and Dahschur - The trip was absolutely impressive! In Sakkara, we were able to experience the Step Pyramid up close – a fascinating place full of history. Dahschur was calmer and almost mystical: The Red Pyramid and the Knick Pyramid are real highlights, especially the descent into the burial chamber. Overall, a great excursion away from the large tourist crowds – highly recommended!

A scam tour. Do not recommend - Unfortunately I cannot recommend Emo tours based on my experience (although it seems to be guide dependent) and here are my reasons why: - My pick up at the hotel was 20 minutes late, and there was no mode of communication. I rang the support number several times but no one picked up. It was by chance that I saw that the driver was able to find me in the lobby - We headed to the Sakkara temple complex which was uneventful - Aladdin, the tour guide, was informative about the history of the step pyramid and showed led me inside Pyramid of Teti - Aladdin was helpful with taking photos and had some good photo suggestions However, this is where the tour takes a turn for the worse - We have a quick walk around the complex, and Aladdin suggests skipping the Red Pyramid/Bent pyramid as there is nothing to see there, and instead going to museums with more interesting artefacts. Having trust in Aladdin, I accepted his advice (mistake) - We go to these various museums in and around Cairo, which turn out not to be museums at all. There are no historical artefacts here - just shops designed to sell to tourists - I have no doubt Aladdin received commission for this on the side - Nowhere are these shops described in the original itinerary The frustration comes from the fact that time was taken away from actual sightseeing to be shown shops for financial gain of the tour guide Aladdin. We also did not complete the Shakkur site in hindsight, leaving most of the itinerary as described in the TripAdvisor website unvisited. I was warned of the infamous scam culture surrounding Egypt but I thought I would be safe with a well reviewed tour company. I paid $130 for this tour and regret booking with Emo tours. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this company to others.
