Emil was simply amazing! From the moment we met him, he made our Cairo tour unforgettable. His knowledge of history and local culture is incredible, and he knows exactly how to make the stories engaging and fun. He took us to all the must-see sights and also showed us unique spots that we never would have discovered on our own. Emil is friendly, patient, and goes out of his way to make sure everything runs smoothly. Thanks to him, our private tour felt personal, relaxed, and truly special. Can’t recommend Emil enough—he made Cairo come alive for us!
We met Emil about 2 years ago and have since returned to Egypt because he has guided us in all tours and went above and beyond to help us. He is friendly knowledgeable and reliable. Thank you Emil, we hope to see you yet again when we travel back to Cairo.
We hired Emil through Tours By Locals to tour Alexandria. He was excellent, planning a great day of exploration for us. Because the Library of Alexandria is closed to inside tours on Fridays, he even worked in a couple of extra places to visit. His knowledge of Egypt, past and present, is amazing, and he obviously loves to share it with visitors. We were particularly impressed with his ability to explain to and show us evidence of the merging of the Egyptian and Roman cultures in Alexandria, which made it so different from the many places we had just visited during our 2-week Nile River Cruise from Aswan to Cairo. The restaurant he selected for us for lunch was incredible! All in all, Emil made our last day in Egypt a perfect one!
Emil showed us the pyramids of Giza, the Egyptian museum and the cave church. Together with a driver, he will pick you up, take you everywhere and the driver will be waiting for you when you return. Emil is a very knowledgeable guide, knows a lot and explains everything very well. I would definitely recommend him! Nothing is too much, just stop somewhere in between, no problem! A tip for a restaurant, Emil thinks along with you. Thanks Emil (and chauffeur), see you next time.
Emil is an excellent guide. He is the most knowledgeable and wisest tour guide I have ever met, and took good care of us. He has a deep understanding of the entire Egyptian civilization and can answer any questions you have, rather than just general common sense. We had a trip that exceeded expectations.
