We had a wonderful tour of the Cairo Museum. Our guide Bassant was knowledgeable, friendly, and enthusiastic, bringing the exhibits to life with interesting information and making the experience very enjoyable. The driver was also excellent, ensuring a comfortable and smooth journey throughout the day. We appreciated the provision of water, which was especially welcome, and the lunch venue was fantastic with delicious food and a pleasant atmosphere. The museum tour itself was very informative and well organised. Unfortunately, we missed the boat exhibition section; we're not sure whether this was due to time constraints, but it would have been nice to include it as part of the visit. Overall, it was a great experience, and our young guide's energy and passion made the tour particularly memorable. We would happily recommend this tour to others visiting Cairo.
Abdo is a fantastic tour operator, very knowledgeable, efficient and as an added bonus he’s a fantastic photographer. My wife can be particular about photos - for example she likes to stand on her ‘good side’ - but she remarked how skilful Abdo is in capturing the moment
Our guide Abdo Osama was the best guide ever! Other than learning so much with him we had a great laugh about things! Would definitely recommend him
Great experience tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful.
Highly recommend doing a tour of the museum as it’s massive and overwhelming. Our guide Raina was fantastic
Rasha was an excellent tour guide. She was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Very attentive. We had so much fun and learned so much. Highly recommend her for your tours!
Absolutely amazing experience unforgettable, I had expected to be on a minibus with lots of other tourists but had my own driver and a fabulous guide that was so knowledgeable and nice , Osama was his name and next time am in Cairo will use for sure
very nice trip, make sure you have hats and sunglasses and lots of water. the organisers are very organised and professional team, top English-speaking tour guide. I highly recommend
The visit to the GEM was very enjoyable and informative out guide Rasha was very knowledgeable. Learning about the history of the exhibition is well worth the time. Communication was excellent and pick up was on time.
This was a wonderful day with Hassan our guide. He was super communicative before our tour and during it was so informative guiding us through the museum. He absolutely looked out for us, brought us water, showed us (we are seniors) many exhibits and of course ending with the King Tut rooms which are amazing. He arranged a lunch and also took us to some local shops to get somethings we had asked about. In addition to Hassan, our driver Mohamed was terrific guiding us through traffic. Great tour, definitely worth it. We only wanted to see the museum, so it was perfect. Good tour company.
Notre guide Abdo was fantastic. We had a very nice day in his company.
Incredible tour with Seif, a definite must-book in Egypt! We had the most amazing experience with Seif! From the very beginning, he was a solid 10/10. He picked us right up from our hotel and took us straight to the tour just as described. Not only did we do everything on the tour list (if not more!), but Seif also made us feel so welcome and at ease the entire time. Best of all, we never felt rushed at all, he gave us plenty of time to explore and take things in at our own pace. He was extremely friendly, incredibly informative, and answered every single question we asked, and took great photos of us. He made us feel welcome and safe during and even after the tour for the remaining of our stay, by providing helpful tips. He gave us great shop suggestions, and wonderful food recommendations. He is a total go-to recommendation if you are visiting Egypt. If we ever come back, we will definitely try to book him again if he’s available! Thank you for such an unforgettable time!
The best experience here so far! The guide was excellent, very friendly , explained things with detail and made our trip much better! Truly recommend him very good value for money.
Great experience no complaints and would absolutely to all my friends and family would do again I felt SAFE WITH SAFE!!!!
Had such an incredible time with the kindest Guide and driver. Would highly recommend. 10/10 experience.
Honestly, Egypt requires a tour guide. It’s just such an amazing time being with someone who knows his way around and it makes your trip so much easier and better by avoiding lines, tickets struggle and all the other hustlers. Abdo!! You were an amazing guide and an even better human being. You were just the best in explaining the culture around here and as an Egyptologist you shared with us so much knowledge and we are very thankful for that and all the other nice things you did for us like the funny pictures, food tasting just to name a few! Thank you for everything again and for making this trip memorable for us Abdo! PS: you made Cairo less noisy and chaotic for my mom and I. Blessed you my friend!
We had the most excellent tour guide. Knowledgeable, fun, courteous, entertaining. We had such a fantastic experience. Highly recommended. Abdo Osama is the best!
Did the half day guided tour of the GEM. Our guide Ghada had spent 6 years studying archeological sites at university and was very knowledgeable. You could tell by her passion for the subject she is doing something that she loves and it was infectious.
Amsaa was absolutely great! By far the best tour guide that we had the entire vacation. She was very thorough, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, personable, helpful, sweet and by far the most honest tour guide that we encountered. We learned so much and was so grateful that we booked another tour the next day. She is the only guide who actually gave us a tour and just didn’t walk around with us and we had a great lunch both days. I highly recommend this tour.
It was exceptional! The museum is well laid out, easy to maneuver, roomy for visitors, and displays are informative. We were there for a good 3 hours and could have stayed a month with all they have to explore.
We had an incredible experience exploring Egypt with Mo, and we cannot recommend him highly enough! From the very beginning, when he picked us up at the airport, his warm welcome, genuine kindness, and friendly demeanor made us feel instantly at ease. Our time at the Grand Egyptian Museum with him was an absolute highlight. Mo brings a truly rare, insider perspective to Egypt’s history: his mother worked as an archaeologist right near the storage facility where King Tut’s priceless treasures were housed before being moved to the GEM. Growing up surrounded by these artifacts and hearing firsthand stories from the field gave Mo a deep, personal connection to the history he shares. His wealth of knowledge, combined with those unique childhood insights, brought every exhibit to life. Beyond his expertise, Mo took the genuine time to get to know us and connect as a family over an authentic lunch with delicious local food. Being younger, he brought a fresh, engaging perspective that our daughter especially appreciated and resonated with. If you are looking for a guide who is not only a brilliant expert but also a wonderful person to spend time with, Mo is as good as it gets!
Our guide Abdallah was fantastic. Fantastic tour of GEM. Be known to us we had lunch booked with the tour but unfortunately we ate before reconnecting with Abdallah. He was so kind to arrange a refund for the lunch missed.
Rasha was an excellent guide! She was quite knowledgeable about Egyptian history, well spoken and kind. She answered all of our questions. I would highly recommend her!
Mediate was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, professional, accommodating, and a pleasure to be on tour with. Highly recommended him for your private tour.
I had an incredible experience visiting the Grand Egyptian Museum, and I couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Basant. She conducted the entire tour in English, and her knowledge of Ancient Egypt and Egyptology was truly impressive. She is extremely intelligent, passionate about history, and has an amazing ability to bring every exhibit to life. As we walked through the museum, she explained the story behind every artifact, every gallery, and every historical detail with so much enthusiasm that the entire visit became much more meaningful and unforgettable. I felt completely comfortable, well guided, and confident throughout the experience. Her expertise made me appreciate Egypt’s history on a much deeper level. Basant was also incredibly kind, patient, and attentive, always making sure I had the best possible experience. After the museum tour, we enjoyed a delicious traditional Egyptian lunch, which was a wonderful way to experience the local culture. She then took me to a fantastic spice market, where I had the opportunity to learn about traditional Egyptian spices and purchase authentic local products. After that, she introduced me to a shop specializing in beautiful Egyptian silk products. Everyone I met was welcoming, respectful, and genuinely hospitable. I never felt pressured to buy anything, and I was even offered great discounts, which made the shopping experience even more enjoyable. Overall, the entire day was exceptional. Basant’s professionalism, knowledge, and kindness made this one of the highlights of my trip to Egypt. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an unforgettable and enriching experience. Five stars are simply not enough!
Loved the tour! Saleh was very anmicabl and funny. He reached out the night before, arranged meeting spot and was prompt. The tour was great and I also enjoyed casual conversations about Egypt, daily life, and culture. Pick up and drop off were seamless and lunch at a local restaurant was very good. Would definitely book again.
Basem our guide was great. He was informative and delightful to speak to and listen to. The driver was super amazing and the car was spacious and well airconditioned! The museum is so big that I recommend booking a 2 day tour to be able to see it all. Do ask for Basem because you won't regret it.... he made us feel like we where in the past.
Rasha was a fabulous guide and helped us get the best out of the huge museum. She was able to connect up the pieces of Egyptian history we already knew, putting stories of King's, Queens and Pharoahs into context. She was lively and friendly and very understanding of our particular needs. Added to that our driver was fun and fearless in the craziness that is Cairo traffic. Between them, they made this a morning to remember.
It was a great experience to visit the new Egyptian Grand Museum. Since the presentations and showcases cover the entire range of the old Egyptian history, it would be difficult to do this without someone who can explain the background and the nature of the artifacts in the museum, and how they are connected. So, I was glad I booked a local guide for the tour and visit. It was well worth it and I had a great time. Secondly, the museum is very large and the guide who accompanied me made proposals focussing on my personal points of interest, as well as to how best structure the sequence of the walk through. In addition I could explore extra, in case I found something of interest in addition to the pre-discussed items. My guide had very detailed knowledge of all the galleries and exposures on display. As expected, the collection of the artifacts from King Tut's tomb was my absolute highlight, just incredible. The other exposures, such as the description of the nine pyramids in terms of design and owners, the very large collection of royal jewelry, and other items of daily life, the ceremonial boats used to transport dead kings to the Giseh sites, to name a few, are very impressive as well. I am very happy to have booked this very interesting tour. I am very happy to have had an excellent tour guide. last, not least the driver provided for the tour was also very good.
Our guide Medhat, was excellent. He was personable, patient and took great pictures for us to capture these memories. The GEM itself is breathtaking. We had a great lunch and really enjoyed the entire experience. Highly recommend!
We had a fabulous time with Medhat, our guide. He was very knowledgeable spoke perfect English and took. Very good care of us. He provided us plenty of time or questions and pictures and took us to a great place to eat. Highly recommend!
Very knowledgeable guide who gave us the full history and really helped us understand all the pieces we were seeing!
What a great experience! Hossam was an excellent guide and made the whole day extremely enjoyable. Would 100% repeat. The GEM is such a special experience!
I did this museum tour on my first day in Egypt, and it was a great first experience. My guide, Rania, and the driver, Georges, were both extremely friendly and helpful. The museum itself was so incredible and made even better by Rania's wide base of knowledge. They were even kind enough to stay late and help me with the situatoon when an ATM machine took my bank card. Must do when in Cairo, especially if you are lucky enough to travel with these guides.
Abdu has a wealth of information and is an expert at adjusting the tour to the needs and interests of his client ... a must for a museum of this size! Highly recommend!
The new Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) is the most incredible museum we have visited. The building itself is a fabulous monument and the treasures within are mind blowing from the moment you step inside. Every area is well set out and is fascinating but it is the trove from tutankhamun’s grave that is the most incredible and majestic. It was also the most crowded section so we advise you get there early. The are statues placed all along and up the stairs so you can walk amongst them but they also have installed travelators so you glide past these as well. Some of the best objects are the ones you may not have heard of, especially the statue of a male sitting cross legged writing who has eyes that are so realistic that its eerie as they look back at you. Then there is the boat. So much to see - we went back a second time. We had a guide Osama Mosyd (? Hope I have that correct) who shared his extensive knowledge of the history and objects we were viewing. He was pleasant, fun and enthusiastic and I would highly recommend him to navigate around and explain things most would not know.
So much to see at GEM and having a guide at the GEM makes a big difference. Highly recommend Abdu for his knowledge and expertise. His is committed to giving the best experience based on your desires interests. Thanks Abdu!
Our guide Mo was fantastic. Extremely knowledgeable & answered every question we had with a passion. I would highly recommend this tour.
Tour guide was very nice. I enjoyed the tour learned a lot the museum was everything and the food too. I’m happy to have done this tour would absolutely recommend as I felt taken cared of.
We met Wehad, our guide, at the GEM entrance. She was warm, knowledgeable and very entertaining. She easily explained history and meaning of Egyptian symbols and statues, bringing the art to life and linking present day concerns to similar concerns in ancient Egypt . Her English and story-telling was superb, making for an absolutely stunning afternoon at the museum. Highly, highly recommend her.
This was such a great experience. I do not consider myself a "museum person" but with all the hype wanted to see what GEM had to offer. We booked this tour for our first day and wow I am so happy we did! Wehad was an incredible guide through the museum and I would highly recommend her to anyone! She is an Egyptologist and so so knowledgeable. She held my attention walking us through the museums exhibit for hours. She got our vibe immediately - you can tell she adjusts based on her audience and she 100% read us right and kept things engaging for us specifically. She knows how to deal with the crowds and really customized the whole experience based on the audience and the number of people in the museum. We had is incredibly kind and passionate about not just her culture but also making a connection with her clients. She took us to a government sanctioned jewelry shop after the tour and after going into other gold shops through Egypt I can definitely confirm she took us to one with very reasonable prices. I got a cartouche and got to watch them weld it in the back which was pretty cool. Highly recommend this tour.

Wehad was the best tour guide we could have asked for. She was so knowledgeable and engaging; the tour of the GEM and the Cairo Markets will stay in our memories forever. Highly, highly recommend the tour and we would go again.
Our guide Wehad was excellent. She is knowledgeable and enthusiastic and able to tailor the visit to suit our interests and knowledge. I highly recommend Wehad. The GEM is enormous and mind blowing. It was great to have a guide on that first day. We visited two more times to explore our favourite galleries in more detail.
Wehad was everything you want in a tour guide: engaging, knowledgeable, passionate about her culture and fit our vibe perfectly. We absolutely loved spending our first day in Cairo with her. Thank you Wehad for an unforgettable experience
Wehad Akrum was an exceptional Guide she knew all what she was talking about so was very very impressed. She was also very pleasant to talk with I would highly recommend her to all my friends and family. I would give her a 10/10.
We had the most amazing time at the museum! Wehad is PHENOMENAL at helping people learn about Egypt. We learned so much at the museum in such a fun way! She truly put in effort to make us feel comfortable and engaged. You could tell she was very passionate about her work and about Egypts history as a whole. We ended up wanting to book another tour with her and this company due to how amazing it was! Also thank you to our driver Sayed, he navigated traffic with ease and was always so punctual!
It was an amazing experience! It was good car with a very good driver. Our guide Wehad is the best guide you can have. She told to us so much interesting stuff and made it so easy. We spend more then 5 hours together and it pass like 1 moment. A lot of times we forgot to make photos, just because we was listening her. Now we ask for our excursions only her.
Beautiful experience! Many thanks to our guide Wehad, she made the tour to our understanding showing a lot of patience and good vibes, and to our very good driver Mustafa that made the trip in the crazy traffic of Cairo seemed like a kid's playing game .
