Beautiful private guided tour - Perfect tour in every detail!
We booked the tour through get your guide and it is not specified that it is a private tour so it was a very pleasant surprise! (we recommend you make it more understandable for clarity).
Our car was modern, clean and air-conditioned, the driver had a pleasant drive and our Salwa guide was nice, considerate and above all very prepared! He told us in detail the story of the Valley of the Kings, the temple of Hatshepsut and the giants of Memnon along with a lot of information about what we saw in the landscape during the drive. The basic ticket for the Valley of the Kings included in the tour includes admission to the site and to three tombs of your choice (among those included in the basic ticket) but our guide Salwa was kind enough to wait for us to also allow us to visit some extra tombs (we paid a few euros more). The Temple of Hatshepsut, although suggestive, is not unique like the Valley of the Kings, but its beauty lies in its history and Salwa was very good at telling us about it! We recommend the tour and recommend Salwa as a guide!:)

Satisfied and what's next - Mahmud was our driver, and the truth was excellent. He arrived very punctual to the meeting point and we started the adventure. The vehicle is in excellent condition, and very clean. He speaks good English and took us to every point of the tour, without pushing us over time at every stop. Additional to that we had very pleasant talk during the journey, either about Egypt or Mexico (which is where we are from). He never tried to take us to places that were not on the tour, but on the contrary, it was up to us if we wanted to make some stop somewhere within the tour to do shopping.

Very pleasant excursion - Family Tour with Two Teenagers book on TripAdvisor. This time to visit, we decided to take a guide. Few French guides available so we take an English guide.
The privatized van picks us up from the hotel at 7am as planned.
On the way, we pick up Omar who will be our guide for the half day.
We begin our journey with the Colossi of Memnon.
Then head to the Queen's Temple where we are treated to many historical details by Omar, passionate about ancient Egypt. We stay on site about 2 hours.
And finally towards the Valley of the Kings, the explanations are given to us upstream to penetrate the graves. Our guide selects three tombs that he thinks are the best and most interesting to see. We trust him. We trust him. We did not take any additional optional graves.
It's time to go home after more than 5 hours of sightseeing.
To finish a tip for the guide and the driver.
This half day was really interesting and well organized and grounded. The duration was more than enough for everyone, especially as the heat began to make itself felt.
We therefore recommend our guide who can be contacted on +20 10 04749288.

Amazing tour, highly recommend! - We were driven around by Sabre & toured by Maria. What a lovely guide! She was so knowledgeable of everything, answered our questions well and has such a warm character! She allowed us our own free time to see the sites & gave good explanations of everything. Definitely a qualified Egyptologist - and had a laugh with us too! Overall, 10/10 experience

Had a lovely half day... - Had a lovely half day tour in Luxor with Emo Tours. Our guide, Toya, was fantastic. Super friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable and engaging. We really valued his storytelling and insight answering all our questions. Thank you for showing us the highlights of Luxor and making sure our trip was so smooth and enjoyable even in the 42° heat!

Nice visit to the West Bank - Nice tour of West Bank highlights. The tombs you visit changes depending on what's open at that time of year - usually 3 tombs. The lunch was not worth it, and I would pass on the lunch if possible.

A nice day out. - The day out at valley of the kings was wonderful a must see in Egypt.
Although communication prior to the trip wasn’t good with Emo tours. I sent several messages regarding things before getting an answer and was unable to book my infant in the booking so ended up with small car (no seatbelt). No one contacted me prior to the trip to confirm and I received many emails saying I had to put my pick up location in when it wouldn’t allow me to.
Guide was fine, Peter, he was accommodating with children and kind. He supplied us with water and was knowledgeable.

Tour guide made us feel... - Tour guide made us feel very uncomfortable. He kept getting extremely close to us, even when we tried to back away, and was quite a controlling and creepy person. He made an inappropriate comment to my partner and she didn’t feel safe standing or sitting next to him. We felt very rushed around the monuments, as he gave us very little free time to look around. He gave very little history or information about the sites, we learnt more by reading about them online. Driver was excellent though, would highly recommend him, the tour guide however, no.
