We just returned from the...

Richard_W, May 2026

We just returned from the Grand Egyptian Museum, King Tut, Khufu Boat, and Egyptian Lunch tour with Aly. It provided a good introduction to this impressive facility, and the guide used the travel time to the museum to present helpful background information and perspective. He also provided interesting insights about selected exhibits in the museum. We chose this tour in the hopes the advertised 4-to-5-hour duration would provide more time at the museum than others on offer but we frequently felt rushed, especially during the King Tut exhibit portion. Lunch was advertised as an opportunity to try one of three Egyptian dishes but in reality was a non-descript buffet, and the promised bottle of water in the car never materialized. While these may seem like minor inconveniences, they were missed opportunities to make a good experience a very good one.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you for taking the time to write this good review. As for the food, you have told the guide that you have had a walking food tour the day prior to the tour, in which you have tried the same type of food we serve in our tour. We didn't dare, for hygienic reasons, to take responsibility to let you try street food. It can be done on your own, as we give priority to your safety. We took you to a touristic standard restaurant with open buffet, in which we covered the meals and the beverages you took, which supposed to be on your side!! As for the tour itself, as you've mentioned, you have enjoyed the informative introduction and the tour you had. Being shorter than what you needed is a personal taste and circumstances, such as age and physical ability of your own . We have a standard time length as clearly stated in the product description. You should book a full day tour to the GEM. You undoubtedly didn't know how vast and what to expect. Anyway, we were glad to have you and hope that you will be next time with us for more time so that you can be more satisfied and you hold responsibility for your own food! Wish you a great vacation in Egypt!

Had a great tour with Aly. Driver picked me up right on time to meet Aly at the museum. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic as a guide.

Great Way to Overview the GEM in 12 Day!

Steven_C, Jan 2026

You could easily spend multiple days in this beautifully executed that all Egyptians are very proud of. Despite the significant crowds, the exhibits are well spaced out, and there is excellent signage, but not the depth that a very knowledgeable guide 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 off The Great Courses website. He was very knowledgeable on all the Kingdoms and the darker Interim periods, and knew the museum well enough to take a different route from the crowds to avoid bottlenecks. Aly was definitely not the guided tour by a memorized script, and answered all our questions! Thank you to Egypt in Tours, that provided a good driver, who was prompt and agile in the Cairo traffic, and delivered the best guide we were very happy with!

Response from Host, Jan 2026

I recently had an exceptional tour at the Grand Egyptian Museum with Mr.Aly as my guide. Mr.Aly is incredibly knowledgeable, providing deep insights into the rich history of Egypt. What truly stood out was his dedication. he generously extended his time to show me more exhibits and engage in thoughtful discussions about Egypt's fascinating past. His passion and expertise made the tour both informative and memorable. Highly recommended!
