Fantastic Alexandria day trip with Mr. Mohmud - Mr. Mohmud was an excellent guide in Alexandria, bringing history to life with his deep knowledge of Egyptian, Roman, Greek, and Coptic influences. He explained the significance of landmarks like the Catacombs and Citadel, making us truly appreciate their architecture and heritage. He also arranged a delicious Mediterranean seafood lunch with a stunning sea view, perfectly within budget. His expertise and attention to detail made our visit unforgettable. Highly recommended!

An impressive guide. - Mo Mo was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and explained everything in very good English. It was also impressive that everywhere we went he delivered us right to the door so there was no scrambling about in the traffic to find parking and walking long distances to the venue. He seemed to know everyone and doors just opened like magic! We had a really good day.

Travelish Tours - Mr Mahmoud Salah the owner of Travelish Tours arranged my whole personal tour. Being based in the USA I had no idea as to how to go about handling the Egypt tour. Mr Mahmoud is very accommodating and very professional and extremely great communicator and he planned my whole Egypt trip of 10 days flawlessly. He tailored the whole trip as per my interests and never ever pressured me into doing anything I did not want to do. He made very honest suggestions and always made me feel very comfortable and at ease. He planned my visits to 8 different cities from Cairo to all the way to Aswan and Luxor and including the beautiful Nile River Cruise. He has great team of people working in all different parts of Egypt who are very expert and professionals in their own cities and areas. He makes sure that you are having a great time and is in constant touch with you and you feel like he is always there holding your hand and you never have to worry about anything. Mr Mahmoud comes from a very educated family and treats you like a family member. He promised me that I was going to have the best experience in Egypt and he went way and above my expectations with that delivery. I would highly recommend him if you are going with family or friends and want a total stress free and trustworthy person to plan your whole trip from USA for you, right from being picked up at the airport and then dropped off back at airport and totally tailored trip personally to you , then look no further then Travelish Tours and speak to Mr Mahmoud Salah. I promise you you’ll have the best vacation experience ever, just like my wife and I did. I can’t wait to go back with my children to show them the beautiful rich culture and history of Egypt. Thank you Mr Mahmoud Salah. Looking forward to seeing you again in future. Sunil Vadalia USA

The Magnificence of Alexandria With A Fantastic Guide - Our trip to Alexandria with Momo was outstanding. We were picked up at the hotel by his driver and transported from Cairo to Alexandria where we met Momo and discussed all of the possible sites to visit. We essentially had a customized tour of the city. First on our list was the catacombs where he explained the history and the structure of the site. All during the tour he was able to explain the significance of what we were seeing and the history behind it. We visited the Roman Forum where he was able to show us how the forum was organized and how it operated. We stopped quickly at the Pillars of Pompei which is not all that interesting because most of the site had been destroyed. We also visited multiple other sites but the catacombs and the forum were top on our list which is exactly what he had suggested. Momo is a well informed guide with the knowledge and English language skills to make our visit memorable. We highly recommend him for your next trip to Alexandria or wherever he may be able to take you. He is a first rate tour guide.

Incredible trip to Alexandria - The driver was incredibly sweet, made sure the car had the A/C on after every attraction and that water was readily available to us. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and charismatic, always willing to answer our questions and made sure we saw the attractions at a convenient time.

Solo female traveler - The driver by himself deserves a 5/5 just because of his excellent driving skills! My guide was very accommodating and changed the schedule to visit some things that I was interested in. Highly recommend the library - beautiful! As a solo female traveler I felt very safe with these guys.
