A great way to get from Aswan to Luxor - We used this trip to get from Aswan to Luxor, while seeing a few things on the way. It was a really nice day tour, and our guide Emad was great. He had lots of interesting stories and was brilliant at pointing out small details you otherwise would miss. The transport was nice and very good value for money, and the trips to the lovely temples split up the trip. Overall, a great day, thanks!

Memorable and safe trip with family - A great 2 days in Aswan, Komombo, and Edfu with Emo Tours and our guide Samir Gaber! Tours were on time, vehicle was clean, drivers were safe, and guide and driver responded to customer feedback on improvements. Appreciated Samir’s willingness to share great local Aswan food and drinks throughout the trip. He always made our family of 4 comfortable and worked hard to make the trip memorable! Thank you!

Unnecessary lunch option - We are satisfied with the guide's explanations during the excursion. I have been unable to contact you since, so I am writing here. Negative point, lunch and a bottle of water were normally provided because paid. We didn't have any water and the guide gave us 3 small falafels to share for 2 adults. We were hungry and thirsty. I would like to request a refund of the lunch supplement I paid at the time of booking because it was not honored.

Would not recommend - The driver was on time to pick ua up from Aswan Airport and the car was nice and clean. However, the driver was not speaking english which made it very complicated to communicate. He was nice and friendly, but we did feel that everytime we were buying snacks or drinks, we were paying far more that tourist price. Tour guides met us on site and were on time and knowledgeable. We booked the tour with the lunch included (an additional 20USD for two people), but the place we were taken to was really bad - we did not have a choice of the food we were eating, it was tasteless and the place was not clean. The lunch cannot have costed more than 2USD per person. We did not finish our lunch, and had to buy our own meal once we reached out hotel. We reached out to Emo Tours to let them know about the situation who offered 50% of the meal refund and did not have a word of apologies or regrets. I would not recommend to book with this company, as we did not feel they were professional.

Horrible tour guide - First, the positive. The van is super comfortable and clean. The driver is fantastic too. The temples are must-sees as well. What ruined my tour is the guide, a gentleman named Sammy. He was more interested making money than providing a service. At the Edfu temple, he talked for only about 10 minutes and left us high and dry. For several important rooms, we had to listen to the guides of different tours. I had several tours with Emo, this tour guide is the worst.

The guide makes the difference - It was our second experience withe the driver and we confirm he is a very kind and reliable person. Unfortunately our guide for the temp le was very poor. The feeling was that there was a lack of willing to share information and maybe a lack of preparation
