Excellent tour of Cairo Museum

Steve_W, May 2024

Rana is very knowledgeable, energetic, and passionate about ancient Egypt. She is also very kind and patient. She is an experienced, excellent tour guide and we enjoyed our time with her.

Good car service

Leyla_K, May 2024

My driver was very nice and was there when he was scheduled. He stopped for an ATM when I asked and was friendly despite not speaking much English (which was not a problem at all).

10/10 Museum tour with Asmaa

James_B, Mar 2024

Great day out. The tour with Asmaa was a brilliant! The museum is huge. So much to see. Being guided by Asmaa really gave the day structure and let me make the most of the visit. I was taken through the museum in a order that brought it all to life (I'd have been lost if I went alone). Being told the story behind artifacts made the visit really meaningful. I could ask questions, and at the end was given time to explore independently. I'm really glad I chose this tour. Asmaa, thank you again for a great day.

A must do

Wonderful and educational experience

Sharon_U, Mar 2024

Loved the tour of the Egyptian museum. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, and answered all of our questions. The tour does not include lunch, but our guide took us a lovely buffet on the Nile River

Trip to Egyptian Museum

George_B, Jan 2024

This was a well balanced trip without too much information overload. The museum was very crowded but that’s in line with most of the world’s best tourist attractions.

Waste of money.

Nora_H, Jan 2024

I was rushed through the main museum sites and was returned back at my hotel 2.5 hours after I had left. Between the guides accent and the noise at the museum I could understand little of what was said.

Good tour and friendly service

John_F, Dec 2023

Very good private tour and pickup. Very personalised and friendly tour guide and driver, good value for money and plenty of oppurtunity for free roaming afterwards.

Great tour

Kelly_H, Nov 2023

Excellent guide and on time. Our guide Mohamed was very knowledgeable about Egypt Price was really reasonable.

Excellent experience!

Johanne_L, Mar 2023

Mohammed arrived on time and delivered excellent service throughout the tour. He helped us navigate the Egyptian museum of antiquities effectively and dropped fascinating historical anecdotes whenever needed. His knowledge about Egyptian culture, history and mythology is remarkable, which made the visit captivating.

Very good guide

Annabelle_D, Feb 2023

Annette_K, Dec 2022

The knowledge of guide fabulous. Plus I was made to feel like family. Guide was warm and friendly Not saying more

Very bad service

Anil_G, Nov 2022

Very poor service. Booking with guide was changed by tour operator to car with driver. Driver arrived 2 hours late after frantic calls to tour operator. Driver had no clue where he was taking me, I used my smart phone to guide him. Total waste of time and money.

Amazing Historical Tour!

Marquetta_G, Sep 2022

This tour was so amazing! I love learning about history and discussing it. Mahmoud Ismail is very knowledgeable about the history behind the artifacts. He's also extremely nice and awesome to chill with! Definitely recommend this tour.

Great stories and history

Clare_B, Aug 2022

Mohamud was an excellent guide with comprehensive knowledge of Egyptian history. I fully recommend this tour.

get the most in reasonable time

Joachim_K, Jul 2022

Guide & Driver are very kind & helpful. Informations are focused and bring you to the most interesting points. And for sure. Egypt was always the best civilization :-)

Egyptian musuem is worth the visit still

Timothy_E, May 2022

Even though the artifacts are being moved to the new Grand Museum, the amount of artifacts stillin this museum is staggering!! I could spend a week in this musuem alone. King Tut's display is still something you have to see! His head mask and coffins are awe inspiring. Seeing all thd different gold pieces that were foud with him was amazing. My guide, Ali, showed me how to read the hyrogliphs.

No show

Ken_K, May 2022

The driver never showed up after waiting 45 minutes. I send 3 messages and received no response. When I requested a refund from Viator they refused, responding that I took the tour.
