Description
With this Egyptian Museum Turin skip the line tour, you meet your guide outside the building and walk past the queue at the door. Inside, more than 40,000 artefacts wait, and a licensed local guide who knows the place well picks a route through them so you do not wander without a plan.
You pass mummies and well-kept sarcophagi, then reach the gallery of Ramses II, where the statue stands arranged just as the archaeologists found it in Egypt. Further on is the tomb of Khâ and Merit, buried side by side, a tale of romance the guide brings to life. The visit closes with a walk along the sphinx corridor.

Some parts may be hard going for visitors with reduced mobility, so ask the provider if you are unsure. Hotel pickup is not included.
