Great tour company - There is a reason Emo Tours has 5 star reviews. The tour guides and drivers were amazing. A shout out to Menna, Hamdi, Haquim & Hassan. They were the best. We highly recommend using this Tour Company as they are the best at what they do

Good car service - My driver was very nice and was there when he was scheduled. He stopped for an ATM when I asked and was friendly despite not speaking much English (which was not a problem at all).

A really interesting venue with a great guide again. - Another great tour provided by EMO. I’m not sure how you can get the most of this museum without a tour guide and ours was great. Essam was so knowledgable and came up with a few “surprises”. I would definite recommend him and this company. We combined this half day tour with airport transfer and the company, tour guide and driver could not have been more helpful even stopping off for snacks on the way to the airport.

10/10 Museum tour with Asmaa - Great day out. The tour with Asmaa was a brilliant!
The museum is huge. So much to see. Being guided by Asmaa really gave the day structure and let me make the most of the visit. I was taken through the museum in a order that brought it all to life (I'd have been lost if I went alone). Being told the story behind artifacts made the visit really meaningful. I could ask questions, and at the end was given time to explore independently.
I'm really glad I chose this tour. Asmaa, thank you again for a great day.

Wonderful and educational experience - Loved the tour of the Egyptian museum. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, and answered all of our questions. The tour does not include lunch, but our guide took us a lovely buffet on the Nile River

Still some interesting items to see for now so worth a visit. - We did enjoy this visit but it was very crowded and noisy and it was hard to hear our guide a lot of the time. All the tours seem to follow the same route so not much chance to spend time reading about the exhibits or go wandering off to look at something on your own. Nice to finally see the few Tutankhamun pieces left there although the mask was quite a disappointment as it looked like it needed a good clean!

Disappointing: Tour only 1 hour! - We booked this tour because it lasted 4 hours, which was comparatively longer than the other tours on offer, and we wanted to have enough time for this huge museum with so many artifacts. In the end, however, the tour only lasted 1 hour! Very disappointing! We weren't even out of the hotel for 2 hours.
So actually only one star!
Only two stars because our guide spoke really good German and had a really good knowledge of all the exhibited pieces. However, we only looked at a few selected artifacts in more detail and didn't even enter an entire wing of the museum. We did that on our own after the tour.
So it was more of an expensive taxi. Nevertheless, we would recommend a guide for the museum in Cairo, as it is more of a warehouse and not a classic museum as we know it from Germany/Europe. Explanatory panels and order are rather hard to find.
Conclusion:
Guide? Yes.
This offer? Not really.
