    Incredible, all these items of history – especially to see the mask of Tutankhamun will forever remain in my memory. Every detail, from the expert guide to the smooth logistics, helped bring ancient Egypt to life. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who appreciates culture, history, and unforgettable moments.

    The best thing about this tour was the tour guide; and the handicap or accessiblity services (wheelchair), etc. It's hard to navigate in a wheelchair when in a group setting, but we did our best. I have some tips that I will be writring the museum directly. But you did a great job. And of course the GEM - Grand Egyptian Museum is spectacular and a must see in Cario.
