Rain and shine - We had an enjoyable day with interesting sites and good company with our guide and driver. We did have some trouble understanding our guides English but combined with the historic sites it worked.

Only Tour Company you need in Egypt - I went to Alexandria with this company. A perfect day with a memorable experience. They customized the day according to what I wanted to see, eat and experience. Driver, guide and owner of the company all very humble and curtious. By the time day was approaching towards its end, I was tired but all of them were still energetic and worried that I might not miss anything that I realize and regret later. I never had any experience like this with any tour company before.

Fantastic visit to a very special city - Excellent service from the time I made the reservation to the time I was dropped off at my hotel in Cairo! The drive from Cairo to Alexandria is just over two hours, but it goes by fast. My guide was very knowledgeable and professional, and very accommodating. I visited the Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa, Pompey's Pillar, the Roman Theater, and the Qaitbay Citadel. The tour in Alexandria ended with a delicious seafood lunch before the drive back to Cairo.

Not as expected. Not recommended. - Worst english skill of tour guide. could understand only 10% of what he said. I was expecting some fluent english speaking Guide with good knowledge of history and place but it was opposite. Wasted time in an expensice papyrus/perfume shop for commission. instead he could have took me to one more sight seeing place as i had paid for the time.
