Such a great tour! - I booked a full day tour for my mom and myself in andvance. The driver was really nice, and our tour guide, Amira was the best. She told us many interesting information about the history and the building of the pyramids. The lunch was also great in a local restaurant. The driver was in time everytime we wanted to get back in the car, we waited max. 1 minute for him to arrive. The weather was also great during the "off-season", we had about 30 degrees all day. There were just a few tourist at the Great Pyramids, so we could take many photos with only ourselves and the pyramids in it.

Great knowledge of Egyptian pyramids and ancient Egypt - Sayed Amin was a fantastic tour guide He made us feel welcome and had extensive knowledge about ancient Egyptians. He answered all our questions in great detail and his passion for his job really came through. He is very proud of his heritage and it meant his explanations were in a great level of detail. Sayed has a great sense of humour and we had great fun. Highly recommend him to everyone!

Great guide and great places! - Had an amazing day seeing the pyramids and going inside the Teti pyramid. We saw statues, artefacts and temples along the way and our guide (Sayed Mahmoud) was fantastic making sure we got the best photo locations, great attraction advice, and information. He even picked an amazing restaurant for the end. Our driver Adel was also really helpful at every drop off and making extra stops for pictures when asked.

Best guide ever, ISAM - We have had the best guide ever. He kept on revealing unknown mysteries, facts that few have come accross in their journey in Egypt. His kindness, experience, knowledge, willingness to share the history... ISSAM IS HIS NAME, ASK FOR HIM!!!!

BBB in Egypt with Emo Tours and SAMAR the best - The organization of our tours during Egypt was by SAMAR, a woman who speaks Spanish and who, with her professionalism in the tourism industry, made us have a wonderful vacation in Egypt; She was in contact with us all the time to answer questions or new tours to take. Her company is Emo tours. To all Mexicans who want to go to Egypt, contact her why also at BBB.
