Coming to Egypt we were very worried about being scammed on a tour. This is the most amazing one we booked! Our guide was so easy to talk to and actively gave us good tips for the rest of our time in Egypt. Going to the museum with an Egyptologist Is much more worth it than doing it yourself! We learned so much and would do this again! He is so kind and flexible!

This tour was absolutely amazing! Our tour guide was so friendly and spoke really good English. He’s very knowledgeable and real with the history which made us comfortable asking loads of questions! The museum is absolutely massive and having him to touch on the most important pieces helped learning the story and background. I would 100% recommend this tour if you’re feeling overwhelmed with the museum or worried about logistics because they handled it very well.

Good experience with the driver, we booked just the car ride to GEM and he was there to pick us up when we finished. Safe driver.

Had the worst experienced. I booked a return transfer to the Grand Egyption Museum. Before arrival the driver made me aware if I didnt book the ticket on line I wouldn't be able to get at front desk. This was not true. He mentioned getting us ticket on the black market which made us very uncomfortable. He lied to us which ended us costing us to buy the tickets twice. He was so focus on taking us other places we didnt agree to. I ended up taking a Uber back to the hotel because we did not feel good.
We went to the GEM in Cairo this morning - Mina was an incredibly knowledgeable guide who helped bring context to the complex world of the ancient Egyptians. We had a private tour and it was well worth the money. We would highly recommended Mina as a guide - it was the icing on the cake for a visit to one of the best museums we have ever been to.

Our GEM tour with Hany was outstanding. His knowledge of Egyptian history and ancient artifacts transformed our visit into a deep learning experience. King Tutankhamun’s exhibits were extraordinary, especially with Hany explaining every detail.

Guide was on time and very knowledgeable. Avoid allowing the guide to take you to other vendors, such as the spice store we were taken to, which was a big rip off.
