The Museo Egizio with the audio guide

The experience

There is no guide here: you book an entry to the Museo Egizio with a reserved time slot and get access to an audio guide to listen to on your smartphone, with a digital route among statues, coffins, papyri, and funerary objects. Ticket and instructions arrive by email and WhatsApp before the date; for last-minute bookings, shortly after confirmation. On GetYourGuide it has 4.4 out of 5 with 32 reviews, few compared to the guided tours, and starts from $22 per person (October 2026), with free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

The Museum's official ticket costs €18 full price in 2026, is bought online only for a time slot (you enter within 15 minutes of the chosen time, not before) and is non-refundable. The Museum estimates about 2 hours for a visit, 2 hours and 30 minutes according to the online ticket shop, and the listing indicates 2 hours.

What to bring: a charged smartphone, earphones (not included), and an ID or passport, even a copy. The listing does not allow weapons or sharp objects, pushchairs, non-foldable wheelchairs, alcohol, or drugs.
