Amazing guide - Thanks to our guude, Aly Elsheemy, the tour was really great and a lot of fun. His way of speaking was clear and easy to follow, so we understood everything he said in English without any problems. At the same time, the tour was very informative, and Aly made it even better with his sense of humor, which kept everything relaxed and enjoyable. What I especially liked was that we had enough time at every sightseeing spot to explore things at our own pace! It often feels rushed on other tours, but that was not the case here at all! What impressed us the most, according to our previius experiences, though, was that this tour was not a typical tourist scam in any way. Usually, you get taken to shops or partner places where you are expected to buy something. That did not happen here at all. In fact, Aly even gave us tips on how to avoid street vendors and what to do so they would not approach us. Aly was very attentive and friendly and even stepped in to keep them away from us. We have honestly never experienced that before. This tour was really focused on the history and the places themselves, which made it so enjoyable. We would absolutely and without hesitation highly RECOMMEND it!

Great guide - We had a crazy day with Aly, our fantastic guide, we explored Dahshur, Memphis and Saqqara. Aly welcomed us at the hotel and turned every stop into a journey into history. In Dahshur, he guided us through the pyramids, recounting compelling details and even taking us inside a pyramid: breathtaking. In Memphis, among ancient remains, he entertained us with curiosity and culture. Finally, in Saqqara, the stepped pyramid left us speechless. Aly was not just a guide; attentive, kind and always available, he pampered us throughout the day, closing with a typical unforgettable lunch. Aly is one of those people you will never forget: SUPER RECOMMENDED!

Lovely Egyptian museum highlights tour! <3 - Enjoyably we did this tour on our first day in Egypt and had a great day visiting Dahshur, Sakkara and Memphis prior to our visit to the Great Pyramids of Giza. Our guide Aly arrived at the arranged time and was very informative and helpful. He also allowed us plenty of time to explore and take all the photos we wanted. We were so impressed we booked a second tour with Aly to visit Coptic and Christian Cairo which we would also recommend. On both tours the drivers did an excellent job negotiating the chaotic traffic of Cairo. We highly recommend Aly Elsheemy and Egypt in Tours if you are after unforgettable experience in Cairo!

Grand Egyptian Museum and disappointing lunch - We went on a tour of the Grand Egyptian Museum with Aly Elsheemy as our guide. He was very knowledgeable. The museum is beautiful and well worth seeing. Aly was friendly and personable. He spoke very good English so he was easy to understand. The only negative was that Viator advertised this as the museum and an Egyptian lunch which I thought meant we would eat at the museum which was not the case. Instead we were taken to a takeout place in a not very clean area of Cairo. We each got a sandwich and a soda. The sandwich was tasty but for the difference in price I would advise just paying for the museum and skipping the lunch part.
