Fascinating Old Egyptian Museum of Kairo - Beautiful old museum with colonial flair - our guide Zizou has guided us through the ancient history of the country with a lot of competent knowledge and expertise, with passion and national pride. Stunning. The whole tour was perfectly organized and therefore Omar ushered us safely through Cairo traffic. Thank you- it was an unforgettable day.

Incredible Tour! - We had an amazing tour of the Egyptian Museum with our guide, Hosni. He was friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and truly brought the history to life with his insights and storytelling. Navigating such a vast collection can be overwhelming, but Hosni made it engaging and easy to follow, ensuring we didn’t miss any of the highlights. His passion for Egypt’s history was evident, and he was happy to answer all of our questions. If you're visiting the museum, I highly recommend booking a tour with him—it made the experience so much more enriching!

Delightfully pleasant family day out! - We were delighted by this trip. My wife and I, accompanied by 3 young children (10, 8 and 4 year olds) were picked up by our tour guide (Hosni) and the driver (Essam) promptly. They were absolutely wonderful. Friendly, warm and fabulous English. Extremely knowledgeable and adapted to our needs and children's attention span so flexibly. We were thoroughly well looked after, and they went out of their way to also take us to the papyrus and Egyptian jewellery production facility and shops at the end of this wonderful trip.

Excellent tour guide for Egyptian History and Heritage - Henry Ayoub is a professional Egyptologist and was our guide at the Egyptian Museum. He is very well-informed and a skilled communicator. He helped us make sense of the vast collection there, which could be quite bewildering without help to understand it. Henry is also very personable and we enjoyed his company on our 4-hour tour. I would highly recommend his services.

Ask for Mohamed Gomaa - This was an exceptional tour made extra special by our guide Mohamed Gomaa. He was an absolute expert on Egyptian history and was able to articulate all topics very clearly while providing additional context based on our questions and knowledge. He knew the museum layout and traffic flow very well and was able to provide an optimal experience. We left with a wealth of knowledge and a great understanding of Egyptian history. We highly recommend this tour, and suggest you ask for the very handsome Mohamed Gomaa.

A landmark in Cairo - Grand old museum and still one of the most important in the world. The queues to see Tutunkhanum of course are legendary. We had an instructive and knowledgeable guide, Mr Hosni.
