If I can say anything about this guided tour I will say this: GET GIADA!! I was expecting just a nice simple tour to see some cool artifacts but I was so enthralled by her knowledge and interpersonal skills. I would have loved another tour with her in the other parts of the museum. I felt like we really experienced so much in two hours and she was not only extremely educated on all things Egyptian, but also sensitive about human remains which was very thoughtful. Get this tour!! You will not be disappointed...unless maybe you don't love great experiences.😏 Again, get GIADA!!

We loved the guided tour of the museum—especially my 10-year-old son. The guide knew just how to engage him without making it too overwhelming. A big thank you to our guide, Cristina!!

Yes there were a lot of people but everything flowed, our guide very good, the small but cohesive group. Only big regret that they renovated the hall with the big stone statues, the previous dark and spot-lit setup was much more impressive !!!
