Our tour guide was amazing and that really made the tour Memorable for us. It’s was our first time in Egypt we decided to book through Viator. Our guide was Amr Moses. He spoke very well English and had really good photography skills. I would definitely book another tour with him again.

This was absolutely the biggest waste of money the entire time I have been in Egypt. For $247 this was extremely disappointing. The title is also misleading, it list the solar boat and king tut as if it’s not part of general admission. The Museum was absolutely amazing and gorgeous. Whenever I go away I prefer a guided tour so someone can explain the history and culture to me, things I wouldn’t know by looking at artifact's. The driver picked us up and then drove us to pickup our tour guide, he was friendly and nice but came off lazy. It was extremely disappointing because I’ve been dying to g

Grand Egyptian Museum is a must see! Our guide, Ahmed Kamel, knowledge was amazing and his energy contagious! Having a guide was so beneficial and convenient to explain the rich ancient history. We enjoyed a lovely lunch sampling a variety of traditional Egyptian dishes. We were met on time and the driver was very professional.

Don’t miss this one. When you have a fabulous guide who absolutely loves his work showing you through an incomparable museum how can you go wrong. In addition, Kyrllos absolutely maximized our time since it’s impossible to see all of this spectacular attraction in one day.
