What people are saying about Piedmont

A long, well guided tour of thousands of years of history. The artifacts are gloriously displayed. Our guide Nasr was friendly and scholarly. Could easily have come back a second day.

our guide is knowledgeable and patience. he explains things in detail and it is awefully impressive for an outsider like us making first visit to such a magnificent museum.

We met our guide, right in front of the museum and for the next couple of hours we were immersed in a unique journey through all the ancient Egyptian kingdoms.

The museum is amazing, organized in chronological order and with so many beautiful artifacts.

Wonderful and knowledgeable guide who was great for my kids ages 10 and 11.
