Great experience & our guide made the experience come alive - loved it!
It was a great experience. Surprised to see how much of the heritage was managed to be replicated here. The guide, Quin, was a delight and very helpful.

Great guide, Sandra was super passionate and knowledgable, encouraging questions. The exhibits were well laid out and full of detail and information. Would reccomend.
This tour was absolutely amazing! Sandra really knew what she was talking about and she was really passionate which made it so special.
My wife and I did the night tour with tour guide Sandra and it was an absolutely captivating experience from start to finish. Sandra is a passionate archaeologist who is well researched on ancient civilisations. Sandra delivered an exciting and highly informative tour that kept my wife and I fully engaged the entire time. She was able to answer questions with ease and her enthusiasm was contagious you can genuinely see how much she loves what she does through her expressions and storytelling. The exhibition itself is incredibly well put together. I honestly haven’t seen anything like this before. It has an incredible layout that flows beautifully and draws you deeper into the experience. The preciousness and quality of everything on display is just remarkable. This exhibition is a real credit to the owners and to Cairns as a whole. An unforgettable experience that I would highly recommend, especially as a night tour.
I experienced the Tomb of the Pharaohs night tour with tour guide Archaeologist, Sandra. I myself have a background in archaeology, I really appreciated the creation of the full tombs being constructed to reflect what a trip to Egypt would look and feel like. Sandra’s depth of knowledge, clarity, and passion is contagious. She had us completely engaged. Sandra’s delivery is authentic, accessible and genuinely exciting. Sandra explained how the exhibit was constructed, why it was created, and the intention behind the key elements. Her storytelling was vivid, insightful and clearly grounded in real expertise. Wonderful tour.
Very informative, great experience. Sandra is very nice and extremely passionate. Definitely a must see if you're interested in Egypt and can't make it there.
My husband and I visited Cairns on holiday, and we honestly had no idea what to expect from the Tomb of the Pharaohs tour and it turned out to be one of the absolute highlights of our trip!!! Sandra was our tour guide (brilliant I must say, she studied Archaeology so it was great to have a tour guide who comes from that world). The experience was incredible from start to finish. The storytelling, the atmosphere, and the way the history was brought to life completely amazed us. We found ourselves drawn into the world of the pharaohs in a way we didn’t anticipate, learning so much while still feeling completely entertained and immersed. It’s rare to find something so unique and so well presented. We walked out genuinely blown away and so glad we decided to book the tour. If you’re in Cairns, don’t miss this and try to find Sandra for your tour! It’s an unexpected gem that will stay with you long after you leave.
What an incredible experience! Sandra absolutely made this tour. Her enthusiasm and her knowledge was unreal — the kind of guide who clearly loves what she does, and it shows in every story, every fact, every laugh. I loved her energy and how she brought history to life, like we were stepping right into the world of the pharaohs. And the best part? We could ask questions anytime — and trust me, we did. Sandra answered every single one with patience, clarity, and a spark that kept us fully engaged. If you’re doing the Tomb of the Pharaohs tour, do yourself a favour and hope you get Sandra. She’s brilliant!
Excellent tour by Sandra, a qualified and experienced archaeologist providing a great deal of information in an interesting and engaging way. The exhibits are fascinating and the explanations about why, who and when were detailed and easy to comprehend. Plenty of time for extra questions, readily answered by the archaeologist. If you're considering doing the tours, highly recommend paying a little extra to do the archaeologist guided tour, so that you get the most out of your visit.
Loved it, the night guided tour had lots of interesting facts about tombs, archaeology digs and modern efforts to understand Egypt and the Pharaohs. The whole experience is well laid out and fantastic to see
So much more than I thought it would be. Authentic reproductions of the Pharaohs tombs, in incredible detail. Mummy's adorned in their finery set in caskets reproduced by museum staff in Egypt. Knowledgeable tour guide answered all our questions. 100% would recommend. I would skip the dinner next time, it wasn't great
