I am very proud to have chosen this company Emo tours since the day before I had a very bad experience and my desire to do this trip disappeared but when I met Samy (our guide) and Mohamed Salah (our driver) I remembered why visiting Egypt was one of my dreams. Both Samy and Mohamed Salah are two super-professional people, cordial, respectful, kind, cheerful, modern, wanting to have a good time with the tourist and not waste time, but they know a lot and explain many particularities of the history and places of Egypt. . It is very difficult to find guides with so much life, with such good energy. By chance we met their boss where they make natural perfumes and we asked them to please accompany us to the Red Sea.

We left Cairo by car with a guide and driver and headed to the Red Sea beach. The trip is long but when we arrived we stayed in a hotel room where we can change and then we went to the beach. Later we had lunch at the hotel in the buffet mode. Then we head back to Cairo to our hotel.

First class service. Wonderful tour guide who was extremely knowledgeable and very caring of our needs throughout the day. Highly recommended.

The whole experience was amazing. Our tour guide Asmaa took care of everything and went beyond.

It was great. My guide and I were the only one's there.
