Our guide, Carlo, was extremely knowledgeable and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour with him. The time flew by as we traveled back in time to see up close the most amazing artifacts all with the guidance of Carlo’s in-depth knowledge regarding the priceless antiquities.

Our guide was really fantastic. She was so knowledgeable about the complexities of ancient Egyptian history, with an answer to almost all of our questions. It is the best way to see such a huge and (without a guide, potentially) overwhelming museum. She also spoke impeccable English which made the tour even more enjoyable.
Francesca was wonderful She was informative and we saw so much more than by ourselves because of her organization
The museum is world class; the quality of the material presented and the style of presentation are both of a high order. BUT, the guided tour is in italian language only; no effort is made to provide other languages, even in a recorded format, even English. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE
Carlo was our tour guide and he was just outstanding. Highly knowledgeable and actually gave us some additional information on the history of Turin with the Kingdoms and around Italy regions North and South . Strongly recommend this tour and Carlo A+++This museum is a must if visiting Turin. Don't hesitate to go in with a guide.
Beautiful tour and good and prepared guide who explained very well all the museum and the various works
Ottima organizzazione, complimenti vivissimi alla guida (Francesca) grande professionalità, competenza e capacità nel trasferirti le informazioni di carattere storico ed organizzativo!
Doppo un caldo benvenuto dalla parte della Signora Francesca abbiamo vissuto un giro molto piacevole ed interessante al museo. Con la sua straordinaria competenza ci ha fatto conoscere tanti nuovi aspetti della vita quotidiana e del passato del antico Egitto. E stato un esperienza unica e molto piacevole. Assolutamente da raccomandare. Grazie di cuore e tanti cari saluti da Manuela e Michael Mueller
Amazing everything, this experience transports me to pharaonic times. I could see how they lived, fed and mummified their beloved domestic animals to move on to another life without leaving their company. And really the best, his impressive works carved like his giant sarcophagi in dark stone. An experience not to be missed.
Great experience, booked with Keys of Italy. The guide, Laura, expert and passionate, accompanied us throughout the journey, telling us, in a timely and never boring way, the exhibition and the most important "pieces" of the museum. Not to be missed
Experiencia buenísima!!! Gran conocimiento del guía. Nos ha encantado!! He ido con mis hijos de 12 y 10 años y el guía ha hecho que estuvieran conectados e interesados en todo momento con sus explicaciones. Con el operador, agradeciada 100%: me equivoqué comprando las entradas y me facilitaron el cambio sin problemas. 100% recomendable hacer la visita guiada con Viator
