Outstanding sites and a great way to see the countryside - Smiles was excellent. He was very positive and just a great guy. He helped buy tickets etc and was very flexible on time so no rushing in any spots. He gave the usual shopping and lunch information, but wasn't pushy whatsoever. The sites are worth the visit even if you only quickly see and take a photo - much less busy than Great Pyramid and just as astounding. We didn't go to shops or lunch so cannot review. Enjoy!

I recommend this tour, definitely worth visiting - 차량만 가능한 옵션을 선택해서 다녀왔습니다. 많은 사람들이 가지는 않지만 기자에 있는 유명한 피라미드에 갔을 때보다 더 흥미로웠습니다. 특히 고대 이집트와 피라미드의 역사에 관심이 있는 분이라면 꼭 가보시길 바랍니다. 단, 카펫 학교에서 손바닥만한 사이즈의 카펫을 수공업이라며 10달러에 팔려고 하던데, 다른 기념품점에서도 본 상품이었습니다. 이 외에는 차량 상태도 훌륭했고, 기사님도 친절했습니다. 전반적으로 만족하고 추천합니다. Not a lot of tourists visit these places, but it is definitely worth visiting. If you are interested in egyptology and the history behind the many pyramids in Egypt, then it's a must. I am a solo female traveler and prefer going to places without a guide. I heard that getting a taxi around these places is difficult, so I booked the option that provides transportation only. My driver Hami(Ibrahim), was very professional and friendly while keeping his boundaries. He arrived on time and provided a comfortable ride to Sakkara and Dahshur. The air-conditioning in the car helped me a lot, especially in this hot weather. I enjoyed this trip even more than the famous pyramids in Giza. Less people, less scammers and pushing. Though the guy at the carpet school wanted 10 usd for a very small carpet, which I think is too much. (I didn't buy it and he wasn't forceful as well, so I guess it's fine in the end.) Otherwise, it was a great trip and I recommend this tour highly.

Extraordinary - I totally recommend this excursion especially with the Reham guide. We have had her on this tour and on another to the red sea. He explained everything, speaks very fluent Spanish, was attentive, helped us in what we needed and, most importantly, made us feel very comfortable. Unlike other guides he could touch us, he never offered to go to “museums of fragrances or anything” or “extras”. If you come from Spain, either as a couple or friends, do not hesitate to take the excursions with her.

Extraordinary trip - The first pyramids that were built were just as stunning as the great pyramids of Giza! The city of Memphis had some very impressive architecture and the statue of the great king was a beautiful monument to see. My guide and driver were phenomenal and very helpful, kind, and informative. I will definitely keep using the EMO service for my next trip and will bring more people to visit this sacred place. Thank you for your time, heart of caring, and your kindness. Jasmine & Ahmed were wonderful. 🙏🏼❤️☺️

Great tour and guide - Our guide and driver were perfectly on time, very friendly and realia me. The driver drove safely and the guide was amazing. Very knowledgeable and teaching us about the pyramids and Memphis with lots of passion. His English was very good. Lunch was traditional Egyptian food in a buffet restaurant and we liked it. Drinks are excluded for lunch and have common tourist prices. We loved the pyramids and also went inside. Memphis we did not find so special since there is almost nothing left and it’s more of an open air museum. After our tour we got offered to visit local perfume or papyrus factories but we declined as we read online that these often are a big tourist scam. It was no problem for our guide and we ended the tour after 5.5 hours at our hotel.

Sakkara, Memphis - It was an amazing trip through ancient egypt. I did the tour without a guide but had a very good driver who helped with some hurdles (e.g. the Ticket entrance only accepting visa) and explained many interesting things in cairo.
