A privately guided and chauffeured tour of the GEM. - This was a privately guided tour of this grand museum through Viator. The Egyptologist, Aly Elsheemy, was most knowledgeable and tailored the tour to my comfort level. He was patient, kind and courteous. The driver was efficient and polite. Thank you for a great memorable experience to last a life time.

Cairo with the best guide! - I was a bit anxious as a solo female traveller in Cairo but was absolutely delighted with my experience with Ally. He is so knowledgeable and passionate about Egyptian history. He is warm, welcoming and funny! He has gone out of his way to make my trip to Cairo most memorable. I highly recommend his tours for anyone with a keen interest to learn more about the city and country. I did a tour of the pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum. He has always been on time and made some excellent suggestions, remaining flexible and helpful throughout. I even booked a second day with him! In short, if you are traveling to Egypt and need someone to organise a tour, tickets and give you the best experience, go for Ally!

You can’t go wrong with Aly - We were given a really great and informative tour by Aly. He knows so much, but is also very receptive to your wishes and interests. He stuck to our time-limit and did not rush. And all that in really good English. He looked after us, circled around larger groups and has a truly pleasant personality. Highly recommended.

The tour was excellent.... - The tour was excellent. As a solo female traveller, I felt very safe on this tour and my guide was very knowledgeable regarding ancient Egypt. The tour was also able to accommodate an earlier start than in initially planned which was excellent.

Discover the new Cairo Museum - How lucky to be able to visit the new great museum in Cairo. Just after its magnificent inauguration on Saturday we were able to take a guided tour in French thanks to Iman Alaa more Egyptologist than simple guide. Ali was very attentive to offer us the best during this day
