Marco was wonderful and the perfect guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable and the perfect gentleman to show us the Grand Meseam. Humorous and lovable. Driver Ayman was a most careful driver and certainly knew how to navigate that 8 lane highway! Very friendly as well! Thank you for a day we will never forget!

The museum was nice. The Egyptologist, Hassan, definitely gave professor vibes. He was knowledgeable and precise but a little socially awkward, felt like I was back on a school field trip. It is more of curated tour in the museum. If you prefer to walk around and look at what your heart desires, then don’t opt for a guide. Our driver Khalid was great and good company. The lunch was good but our tour guide forgot we had it in our tour and I had to remind him. We mentioned wanting to do a boat ride on the Nile and they were able to make that happen. It was perfect time and peaceful. And it ended

Wow! The new museum is really something fantastic! The Tut gallery is only the frosting on the cake. Every gallery is amazing. Our guide Mohamed was a wealth of knowledge and allowed the time so we were not rushed. Highly recommend!!!

If you want to learn a depth of Ancient Egyptian history in a short period of time, then step no further than Professor Essam!! On the bus ride from the hotel to the museum, he did a fabulous job explaining the background to a novice and made the museum a much more rewarding experience. He was courteous to my children and very patient in answering any questions we had. I walked away learning so much!!
