Wonderful day trip to Alexandria with a great guide. - I had a wonderful day-long tour from Cairo to Alexandria with Tamer who was a great and very professional guide and driver. Tamer made our trip very comfortable and friendly and provided unparalleled local flavor to the experience by showing me parts of Alexandria few visitors get to see in addition to all the usual tourist hot spots. His wonderful company and conversation made the trip much more interesting, enjoyable and memorable. I would highly recommend it to those interested in such types of experiences.

Great for solo travelers who ask questions and wish to engage at length with their guide - My guide was Tamer, who was highly educated, conversational, and just a true gentleman. He went out of his way to engage with me and learn my likes/interests. It's a long drive to/return from Cairo to Alexandra, so we spoke with me at length about local culture, sports, etc. I'm a solo traveler and appreciate these types of conversations over your basic point and smile type of guides. Most importantly (for me as a frequent traveler versus a “tourist”) was that we did not visit ancillary facilities or sites that target tourists, which is sometimes common on tours. I would book with Tamer again 100 times over. I did receive some requests from the tour company asking me to book more tours, even to cancel with others. That is a concern that needs to be addressed when a client politely declines.

Amazing Tour with Excellent Guide and Driver! - I had an unforgettable day touring Alexandria with Mohamed Haweet as my driver and an amazing guide. As a solo traveler, I was initially worried about navigating the city, but Mohamed made everything so comfortable and enjoyable. He picked me up promptly from my hotel in Cairo and took me to all the must-see spots in Alexandria, sharing his extensive knowledge of the city’s history and culture. Mohamed also doubled as a fantastic photographer, capturing some great shots for me throughout the day. He was very attentive, professional, and made sure I had a wonderful experience. I highly recommend this tour, especially for solo travelers looking for a safe, informative, and enjoyable experience in Alexandria!
