We booked 2 tours with Emo Tours. On the first day we visited the archeological sites in the west bank of the nile in luxor. On the second day we visited the temples of Dendera and Abydoss.
We had different drivers on the 2 days, which were lovely and good drivers for egyptian standards.
Ahmed was our guide and he was pleasant enough. However, some of the things he said were in clear contradiction of what we later read about the tour subjects. Those things seemed to have been simply made up by him, perhaps to try to make history sound more appealing. This made us feel cheated, and made it hard to trust him on other things he said. Furthermore, he kept hurrying us to explain what he wanted without giving us any time to grasp the environment of the place. These things made us feel that it might have been better if we had just hired a driver and read about the history online.
Additionally, our tour's vouchers were confusing because even though they said that entry admission to the sites were included in the price we paid, we had to purchase tickets on each of the spots.
