Our guide was good and she really knew perfect English. However, I found the tour just too expensive for what it is, because the tour price was supplemented by the tickets with 550EGP each. You will be picked up from the hotel and driven to the museum, as the museum is relatively small the tour is also over quite quickly.

Wir hatten eine großartige Tour im Museum of Civilization in Kairo. Unsere Tourguide Dina war hervorragend – sie verfügte über ein beeindruckend hohes Wissen und konnte uns unglaublich viel über die Geschichte Ägyptens erzählen. Ihre Erklärungen waren sehr ausführlich und informativ, und sie hat sich viel Zeit genommen, auf all unsere Fragen einzugehen. Auch die Organisation war top: Wir wurden pünktlich abgeholt und unser Fahrer Kyrillos war super freundlich und angenehm. Die gesamte Tour war hervorragend organisiert, sehr lehrreich und absolut empfehlenswert. Wer mehr über die faszinierende

Our private tour of the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization was easily one of the standout experiences of our entire trip. From the moment we arrived, it was clear we were in exceptional hands.

Her depth of knowledge was immediately evident, but what truly set her apart was her ability to transform history into a living, breathing story. She didn’t just guide us through the museum—she brought ancient Egypt to life. Every exhibit carried meaning, every artifact had context, and every transition between eras felt seamless. Her story

Guide was very knowledgeable and listened to our requests. We wanted to see the non-major attractions as we were visiting again with our tour group. GEM was amazing. We were not rushed and pick up and transport were perfect.

My most excellent guide, Hoda, along with driver, Polo, provided a wonderful tour of the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization. They were prompt, polite, and welcoming. I learned a great deal from Hoda's expertise in the amazing history of Egypt. Highly recommended. Book with confidence.
