Very bad tour

Explanation about sculptures and mummificatation were especially interesting. But only 2.5 hours in the musium, not 3 hours. That,s too short. Insted, I had to visit pupils shop which wasn't mentioned on the way back. Also couldn't have any snacks which was mentioned. Very bad tour!

Fantastic way to see key highlights of the museum

Mahmoud was a great tour guide, full of knowledge of key items in the museum. Highly recommended. The tour includes hotel pickup and drop off which makes it quite accessible

Great

Sayed and ezz were great guides. It was a fun filled day. Sayed took his time to explain all the beauties of Egypt. Don’t think twice , you will not regret.

Excellent tour

Excellent tour. You really need a guide as there is no audio tour available and the guide knows what to show you of interest. I chose a tour without entrance fee included - might have preferred one with entrance fee included and then the guide would be the one to have to get the tickets - but it was a very quick queue so not a problem in the end.
