This was an unforgettable trip! It is a jam-packed trip with so many sites & activities, yet it also manages to offer relaxation while you cruise down the Nile in-between stops. Heba is incredibly attentive although there were a few changes about departure times/locations. She went out of her way to make it special for us (I was celebrating graduation & my friend his birthday!). She frequently checked in on us via WhatsApp to make sure everything was going smoothly. We loved our guide Ahmed (be sure to request him!!). His way of presenting information is super effective and I feel like I’m walking away from this trip with waaaaay more insight & education than I have ever had on any other trip. We really appreciated him. Overall the boat was nice and I loved the rooftop deck & pool. The food is ok but it’s fine for what it is and the staff is attentive. So happy & grateful for this experience!

I booked a private tour to the pyramids to avoid all the hassle, and it was definitely worth it. The tour was prepaid by credit card and I found the price affordable. All my emails were promptly answered, too. I was picked up right on time by a driver and my guide, Nesma, and as traffic was light, the journey from central Cairo to the pyramids took some 20 minutes only. Nesma gave quick briefs at our stops and I had ample time to look around and take photos. She answered all the questions I had and did her best to accommodate my wishes. Her English was excellent. After the pyramids and the sphinx, we made a quick extra stop at a papyrus shop/factory, where they explained the making and history of papyrus. There was no pressure to buy anything, it was a genuine educational stop and an interesting one at that. I can warmly recommend Emotours. I found them reliable, punctual and knowledgeable.
