    Salem was a fantastic...

    Steven_K, Dec 2025
    Salem was a fantastic guide for our visit to the new Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza. He was very knowledgeable and explained the history and artifacts in a clear and engaging way, while keeping the tour light and fun for the kids. Our children were interested the whole time and felt included in every stop. We felt relaxed, learned a lot, and really enjoyed the experience from start to finish. Would highly recommend Salem to anyone booking this tour

    Incredibly historical experience.

    Joseph_D, Oct 2025
    Our tour guide Ahmed and driver picked us up from our hotel right on time and we started with a historical refresher to get us ready for what we were about to see and experience. Ahmed was very informative and helped us better understand the history behind the pieces we saw. After the museum we stopped at a couple local souvenir shops for a chance to purchase and learn about certain products (spices, oils/perfumes, papyrus paintings). This tour is definitely worth it. Our tour guide and driver were both amazing.

    Tour title needs updating

    Agnes_d, Oct 2024
    Hotel pickup was ok. The museum itself was impressive despite only the Great Hall being open. Tour title was a bit misleading as the Tutankhamun interactive portion had long ended in May 2024 according to the information desk. Still enjoyed my time there wandering the exhibits on my own (I knew it was only for the museum entry) but if you need more details or background on the items on display, it’s probably better to go with a tour guide

    Response from Host, Oct 2024
