Step into History: Half-Day Exploration of the Egyptian Museum

The tour guide was an very educated women that help me have a much greater understanding of Egypt and it's history. She was great in correcting my miss conceptions from my education in the states.

A less structured tour and more like having a museum companion to walk around with you. Personally I would have liked to be led more by the guide to the noteworthy items. The tour length seems to be flexible. I spent 3.5 hours at the museum and saw most of it. The driver and guide were both friendly and professional, showing up on time. The tour companion messaged me the day before to make sure I really wanted a tour of the Old Egyptian Museum in downtown Cairo near Tahrir Square, instead of a tour of the new Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) where all of Tutankhamen’s tomb goods are now on display.

Picked up on time Knowledgeable guide with an impressive background on ancient Egyptian history Took the time to explain the artifacts significance and their place in the chronology of ancient Egyptian history Explained real Egyptian history in an interesting and thought provoking tour of this great museum

Be Warned! ALOT of standing , stopping, &walking! But HREAT experience and having a knowledgeable tour guide helps!

We did not get to do this activity because we got confused with the location. No body seemed to be helpful like saying it’s too far from our hotel and the tuk tuk driver could not go on the highway. Ticket wasted but we took a city tour the next day and we did so much, including visiting this museum.

Guide prepared and kind, interesting tour and great assistance from Heba, the tour agency. Private tour with interesting details and curiosities. We recommend it.
