Museo Egizio and Turin city centre tour

The experience

Meet in front of the Museo Egizio entrance, at via Accademia delle Scienze 6, 15 minutes before the start. The listing writes this in capital letters: anyone arriving late will not be admitted. The first part is the visit of the Museum in a small group with a licensed guide, among papyri, mummies and the jewels of the pharaohs listed in the description. The second is a one-hour walk in the centre, with San Lorenzo, Piazza San Carlo and the Galleria Subalpina. In total three hours, with earphones for 8 participants and above.

One clarification that the listing itself highlights: the Museo Egizio is not the provider of this guided tour. It is organised by a tour operator. The price includes the entry tickets, the guide, the city tour and earphones; tips, food, drinks, hotel pick-up and extras remain outside. The available languages change with the date: check them on GetYourGuide before paying.

The price starts from $163 per person (GetYourGuide, October 2026), with free cancellation up to 24 hours before. For comparison, the Museum's official ticket costs €18 in 2026, is bought online only for a time slot and is non-refundable (source: the Museum's tariffs). The Museum also organises visits with its Egyptologists: for 1-6 people in Italian, €50 for 60 minutes or €85 for 90 minutes, plus tickets. The city tour is the extra part compared to the other visits on this list.

Lara was professional and very nice! [...] We are a family with a 9-year-old girl [...] and it was a wonderful experience. Highly recommended!

[...] in my opinion, the city walking tour with the guide is worth it when you arrive in the city. On the following days you can walk around and manage to get your bearings better.

The visit to the city and the Museo Egizio was exciting! The guide, Dr. Mirella, was superb: encyclopedic knowledge, clear, open and patient in speaking with tourists, available. 10 out of 10 with honors!!!!

  • To organise the rest of the day, read the Museo Egizio and Turin in one day.
