The guide was fine, but the tour was rushed. That was not his fault. It was Viator's fault for failing to recognize that the museum closes early during Ramadan. I would recommend the guide, but do not trust Viator to be current on closing times for sites. Viator needs to do a better job of working with local companies to ensure that a four-hour tour is not cut to three hours, as happened to me.
A fantastic and well organised trip. Or guide listened to what we wanted to do and modified accordingly. We extended our tour with him and went to the museum of civilisation as well to see the royal mummies. Lunch was very good by the lake and also relaxing after all the hustle of the museums. One of our best trips in Cairo so far. Thank you.
Our guide Wagih was spectacular. Fun, enthusiastic and helpful. He listened to what we wanted to see and worked accordingly. We went to both the Cairo museum and we schemed to go to the museum of civilisation, which was definitely worth it. Lunch was unexpectedly good and relaxed. I’d also like to thank our driver who proves that you can drive in Cairo and be a gentleman. One of the best trips we have been on in Cairo. Thank you Wagih.
The only good thing was that I received a ride to the museum. After past reviews my guide was lacking in knowledge and enthusiasm. She did not tell me anything that I already knew. Her bored expression told me she didn’t want to be there. I believe the guys are better guides than some women.
Mohamed was one of the best tour guides I ever had. He was knowlegeable and witty, I had the feeling of being together with a friend. Highest recommendation !
Pierre did an excellent job of explaining Egyptian ancient history. He is an excellent guide who knows his stuff. The old Egyptian Museum is well worth visiting besides the new GEM.
This tour was absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, everything was smooth, professional, and enjoyable. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about Egyptian history. He brought the museum to life with his storytelling—especially the section about Tutankhamun, which was a highlight for us. The driver was equally professional, courteous, and on time. We were so impressed with the experience that we immediately requested the same guide and driver for our tour the following day. If you’re looking for a well-organized, informative, and enjoyable half-day tour of the Egyptian Museum, this is the one to book. Highly recommended!
The private tour was great. Pickup and drop off from and to hotel was provided. I highly recommend. The guide knew her stuff and allowed you to answer questions
Booking a guided tour enabled us to see and understand so much more about the incredible history of Egypt. The exhibits were stunning. Our guide was experienced, knowledgeable, interactive, understandable and ensured we had a wonderful experience filled with amazing memories.
The trip was excellent, so many things to do and see. EMO crew made the trip one of the best trips I have taken. If you going to Egypt EMO Tours is the number one tour agency.
Well organised tour of the Egyptian Museum in Cairo with Emo Tours Egypt. Very informative and comprehensive tour around the museum with our guide Amr who has a great knowledge of all the exhibits. A real treat to see Tutankhamun's treasures whist still at the old Egyptian museum. Highly recommended
I enjoyed my private Egyptian Museum tour. Ahmed Refaat was great. I also like that the tour company catered my request for 1pm. visit. Thanks!
Had a great tour led by Sayed Mahmoud. On top of countless pictures Sayed had kindly offered to take, his knowledge and dedication to this tour was the best you could ask for. Safe journey with our private driver Hassan who was always on time and offered a pleasant travel in busy Cairo.
AmaZing, very informative. Had a splendid day with our guide full of fun and laughter! Would highly recommend Adel
The tour we had was absolutely amazing and educating!! We were treated like queens with the best pictures and the best prices. I wouldn’t highly recommend Adel Hakem to people as he is very reliable.
brilliant place to visit and only about £7 entrance fee (although have to pay £13 to see the 'royal mummies). the museum is in a central position and is light and airy with loads of space. photos are permitted, but not in the Tutankhamen room i.e. of his golden mask - which by the way is awesome!
Very organized, had an interesting morning. Our guide spoke good German. We couldn't complain.
Very nice lovely friendly and spoke very good Spanish!! We would repeat without hesitation!! I had everything super prepared
A beautiful day spent with you .. the Egyptian museum has fascinated me so much of the stories of this wonderful city and Egypt .. really a wonder to visit this museum .. walk in the past .. thank you so much to all you want!!
Availability and kindness, with guide always ready to meet the needs of tourists even exceeding the agreed time.
