Alexandria, Egypt - A Must to Experience! - Alexandria was amazing and the weather was beautiful. ☀️ Our tour guide, Salah did a fantastic job in making sure my mom and I were comfortable throughout the entire experience. He told us about the history of the place, made sure we could ask him questions on the catacombs, Citadel of Qaitbay, and the library - he really provided an atmosphere of engagement. We felt very comfortable and safe with him - we would recommend him as a tour guide.

Full day tour Alexandria from Cairo - I have just returned from a full day tour of Alexandria from Cairo. It was just a really nice, perfect day with an amazing guide (Ahmed) and driver. The tour covered everything and I was given all the help, information and history you could need along the way. From pick up to drop off I felt welcomed and relaxed and just had a great day. I couldn't have asked for more and if I could give more than 5 stars rating I would. 100% recommended if looking for a tour, guide and driver while in Cairo. Book with them now I promise you won't regret it. Thankyou to you both 🙏

Alexandria and beyond - Being experienced travelers traveling all over the world, the best part of this tour was having an experienced, knowledgeable, intelligent and competent guide such as Salah. He was able to provide all types of information that we inquired about. He not only provided facts but made them into stories that pertained to every day knowledge to make it memorable. He also was an extremely kind and caring individual as my parents are both elderly and need help. He gave a helping hand with no problem at all. Egypt was a dream trip for all of us and the experience we received on this tour did nothing but make the dream come true.

Incredible day in Alexandria - Full day private tour of Alexandria . Swam in the Mediterranean sea, explored the cattacombs and had a fabulous seafood meal at lunch time. Our guide Salah was amazing! So knowledgeable and professional. He even took us for coffee at a historical cafe. A day to remember.
