Paulo was an excellent guide. He was interesting, helpful, knowledgeable and his English was easy to understand. The museum was enormous, very modern with an excellent design and lighting. The exhibits were well explained and beautifully positioned and lighted. The Tutankhamen experience was more fun than interesting. We look forward to seeing it again when it is finished inside.

J’ai réservé cette excursion avec un guide francophone donc plus cher aussi pour cette visite de 3 heures. En fin de compte nous n’avons pas eu de guide francophone et on a du limité courir pendant la visite. La salle des bijoux de Toutankhamon était malheureusement fermé. Résultat des courses en 2h30 on était de retour à l’hôte , en passant nous aurions très bien pu visiter le musée seule parce que toute les explications sont en anglais le musée est magnifique. J’ai été vraiment très déçu

Un lieu exceptionnel de par son architecture et son contenu. Notre guide Lamia était très intéressante et parle un anglais très clair.

Prelievo in hotel ok avevamo selezionato guida italiana e pagato ben 180 euro, la guida sapeva invece solo inglese, in teoria ci stava l’audible in italiano, ma erano solo 3 minuti per 500000 m2 per tutto il museo, guida ne troppo competente ne vogliosa di spiegare bene, alla fine tour durato 2 ore

Very informative tour and history lesson. Mina, our tour guide, is well versed in Egyptian history. Would definitely recommend him and would use him for other tours if we return. This was a private tour with easy pickup and drop-off at our hotel.
