Excellent day tour of Alexandria! - Had an amazing day with Rabab - best guide yet and we have had many over the last 5 weeks!!!. Her English and knowledge of Alexandria were outstanding. Offered plenty of information and answered all of our questions. Never rushed and she made sure to offer toilets stops!! And her driver was the best we have had in Egypt.

Exceptional tour in Alexandria - We had a fantastic tour in Alexandria with Islam, who speaks perfect English. Our group was really diverse in terms of age (small children and adults), and the guide was able to make the tour entertaining for everyone, including the kids. We really enjoyed our day out and saw many great places in Alexandria, learning about its exciting history.
The tour included: visiting the library, the catacombs, the pillar of Pompei, the citadel, lunch. Additionally, they provided us with a minibus with the pickup and dropoff from the place where we lived.

Great Day in Alexandria - The guide was great, the excursion was top!
I especially liked the catacombs and the Alexandrian library😍! Islam was not intrusive and did not overload with dates and historical facts; it was interesting. In addition to the main program, we also made several stops at our request, for which special thanks🙏🏻.
I liked everything very much!

Best Alexandria tour - This is one of the best tours in Egypt. I had to initially cancel my tour because I forgot I booked a flight. Once my flight got delayed I reached out and rebooked. They did a great job of rebooking me last minute. If you want to see Alexandria don’t make the mistake of not booking with them. Trust me you won’t regret it.
