Relaxing and lot of history - What an amazing trip from start to finish. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate, which made the entire experience even more meaningful. Every stop felt thoughtfully explained, adding depth and context rather than just checking off sights. The pace of the day was light, calm, and refreshingly unhurried—perfect for truly soaking everything in. It was such a welcome contrast to the constant energy and crowds of Cairo. Instead of feeling rushed or overwhelmed, the day felt peaceful and well balanced, with time to observe, reflect, and enjoy the surroundings. A beautifully relaxing experience that still felt rich, educational, and memorable in every way.

A experience in Alexandria - This was truly a one of a kind experience. Most tours and tour guides feel as if they are rushed and overwhelming. But this felt like meeting up with a distant friend to show you all of their favorite places and history of their city and culture. This tour felt like a trip among friends instead of strangers making it more memorable and meaningful. Learn a tremendous amount about the history of Alexandria with also the food recommendations was great as well to make you feel more engulfed within the culture. Would recommend to anybody traveling to Egypt.

Alexandria City - We were meet at Port by Sayed & Driver, guided easily through Alexandria to all the sites we wished to go. Catacombs , Pompey Pillar, lunch, Library & Qaitbay. All with easy, explanation & questions answered. Sayed was extremely knowledgeable on all these area along with other questions asked about life in Alexandria & surroundings. Would highly recommend Sayed to anyone stopping in Alexandria for local area & Pyramids as he explained a few things from our previous day tour. Great work Sayed & wish you all the best.

Goes beyond the stars! Outstanding experience! - Words cannot begin to describe the exceptional value of this tour with WOW. The experience was awesome. The day before Sayed attempted to alert us in person of new developments in Alexandria. Unfortunately we were not at the hotel and were briefed by him over the phone. He went above and beyond to assure us of our safety and explained what alternate options would be available. The next morning our driver Ana Osama (not just a driver but best chauffer ever) and Mostafa Salah Ali our tour guide (egyptologist extraordinaire). The drive to Alexandria might have been over 2 hours long but, Mostafa thru his great personality and exceptional English, shared his cultural knowledge and history making the drive fly by. We visited the Catacombs, Amphitheater, Bibliotheca, Fort Qaitbay and drove past Pompey's Pillar (area restricted due to prior incident). We were treated to an excellent seafood lunch on the waterfront. Mostafa with his wonderful personality was very enthusiastic and made sure we enjoyed our day in Alexandria . Did I mention he also doubles as a prof. photographer! In fact, he was such a great, outstanding escort, we arranged to spend the next day with him continuing our Egyptian adventure.
