Great job Aly marvellous work - The countless questions patiently answered.The excursion at the Pyramids and Sphinx was very exciting and emotional. To see from close what I had always dreamed of on my history books was priceless ! The museum didn't disappoint us at all. It is a must-see that deepens your understanding of the whole story of ancient Egypt. But the experience wouldn’t be that great without the knowledge and sympathy of our wonderful guide Aly Elsheemy. He was always ready to give all the right information to enjoy the tour at its best. Highly recommended

What an amazing day in Giza Cairo! - It is an unforgettable day with personalized attention and top-tier guides! Really, ​"I had a truly fantastic tour today. Although I expected to be part of a group, I was lucky enough to have a private tour with my guide Aly Elsheemy. ​We started at the Grand Egyptian Museum; an impressive and immense building where Aly shared his extensive knowledge with great passion. Afterward, he took me to the Papyrus Museum, where the process of making papyrus paper was explained in a very interesting way. The absolute highlight, of course, was the Sphinx and the Pyramids of Giza – an experience you truly must see for yourself. ​The day concluded perfectly with a delicious lunch at a local restaurant. Aly is a cheerful, knowledgeable professionals who went above and beyond to make sure I had a great time. I highly RECOMMEND this tour to everyone!"

Aly is a really knowledgeable tour guide and he is really passionate about his job! - Fantastic tour of the Pyramids and GEM with Aly. A small group of 4, we were collected from the hotel, direct to the Pyramids in the morning, then via lunch to the GEM in the afternoon. Aly takes care of everything. She’s very friendly, seems to know everyone, and knows exactly where to get the best photos. She organised camel rides, answered all our questions, arranged tickets for the GEM and showed us round. Finishing at the King Tutankhamen gallery - which is very, very impressive. I’ve used Aly 3 times in the last ten years and it’s always been a super day out. Thanks Aly!

Great Way to Overview the GEM in a Half Day! - You could easily spend multiple days in this beautifully executed archeological museum that all Egyptians are very proud of. Despite the significant crowds, the exhibits are well spaced out, this all-inclusive tour included the tickets, so all went smoothly and Ally guided us exactly where to go to minimize time in any line. The GEM has excellent signage, but they do not provide the depth that a very knowledgeable quide like Aly will add to your experience. He had so many of the side stories andor little known facts to provide insights beyond what we had even heard in 48 lectures on Egyptian history off The Great Courses website, which we do highly recommend to listen to in advance for background. Aly was very knowledgeable on all the Kingdoms, as well as the darker Interim Periods, and knew the museum well enough to take a different route from the crowds to avoid the few bottlenecks. Aly was definitely not the guided tour by a memorized script, that you get too often on tours, and answered all our many questions! Thank you to Egypt in Tours, that provided such a good driver, who was prompt and agile in the Cairo traffic, and delivered the best quide we were very happy with!

Incredible experience with the amazing guide - The Grand Egyptian Museum left us absolutely speechless! It’s truly an incredible experience from start to finish. We had a fantastic tour guide who was extremely knowledgeable and guided us through the most important exhibits, sharing fascinating details and stories that brought everything to life. The museum itself is stunning — you can clearly see the care, time, and attention to detail that went into every part of it. From the beautifully curated exhibits to the lighting and subtle background music, everything ties together perfectly to create an unforgettable atmosphere. GEM is absolutely massive, and you could easily spend several days exploring all it has to offer. We can’t wait to come back and see more once everything is fully open. An absolute must-see for anyone visiting Egypt!

Good Experience 100% - Lovely experience and tour with our guide ! Our very knowledgeable and friendly guide led us to some worthwhile (and additional) locations, all while informing us with great bits of Egyptian history and culture. Moreover, we want to highlight the flawless organisation of all admissions and transportation from pick-up till drop-off. We recommend to block your day for the tour and definitely include the lunch for a beautiful panorama view. Also we had such a good time with the other family in our group. All in all a successful and highly recommended day - seeing a lot without getting overwhelmed without getting overwhelmed thanks to our guide!
