My little girl who wanted to be an Egyptologist came out - The visit was spectacular and well organized. The Guide was very knowledgeable and very comprehensive in the explanations, thanks to his explanations I was able to photograph details that maybe I would not have photographed. Recommendation to everyone to try this experience.

Brilliant tour, extremly knowledgable guide - Absolutely brilliant tour. Alessandro had an insane amount of knowledge and took a lot of time to really guide us through the entire history of ancient Egypt. This is by far one of the best tours we ever had, and I dont say that lightly. He answered all our questions, gave us tons of insights (way beyond anything someone with a basic general knowledge knows or what is described in the beautiful museum itself). I would take the exact same tour again just to learn more.

Magnificent Collection Devoted to Ancient Egypt - The Egyptian Museum contains the second largest collection of Ancient Egyptian artifacts in the world behind only the Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo. The collection spans over 30 centuries from the pre-dynastic period to the period of Roman occupation. This expansive collection provides insight into the lives of the Egyptian rulers and those that served them. Special attention is paid to the religious and burial rituals that represented how ancient Egyptians understood their world, life and death. Although this museum can be covered in about 2 hours, someone that is very interested in Egyptology could easily spend 5-6 hours here.

The Pharaohs in Turin - If you have an interest in Egyptian artefacts, this is a 'must see' tour !
We attended an afternoon tour with an English speaking guide. We arrive early and as we were the only 2, our tour started straight away. Our guide was fantastic. Extensive knowledge of the exhibits and an obvious passionate about the subject matter. (I don't remember his name but he was so good it like having a Professor guide us through the Museum. )

Learned so much. - Our guide, Lara, was amazingly knowledgeable. She was totally engaging and accommodating We went to the museum on a very busy Saturday afternoon but she managed to keep our group together and find our way through the crowds. She has a great sense of humor. We got so much more from our visit than we would have without Lara as our guide.

A must do tour! - Although the museum was crowded, Lara guided us thru and made sure to explain and point out details in this vast collection of antiquities. It certainly helped that she was an expert in the field and her knowledge and pleasant demeanor made this tour even better. So much to see and understand, Lara brought so much more to this important museum. Very happy we did this tour, well worth it.

Intimate - We were very lucky to have the guide all to ourselves. Great communicator and very insightful. Answered all our questions. Just wish it lasted the full two hours instead of 90mins.
