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.

Alexandria, historic gem of Egypt - Today my excursion from Cairo to Alexandria was a beautiful and warm experience. My driver, Immam was excellent. My guide in Alexandria was well spoken, professional, accommodating and a good soul. (He carries treats for stray dogs and cats, as a thoughtful kindness). He’s proud of his city and you can feel it. His English is excellent. Matmoud is fantastic. Thank you so much! Alexandria exceeded my expectations because of you Matmoud!

Great tour of Alexandria - Our day started rough with me being in a lot of pain. We went from Cairo to Alexandria with our excellent driver. Upon arriving to Alexandria we met Momo our tour guide. With the help of my friend, driver and Momo our trip to Alexandria was amazing 🤩 Momo is very knowledgeable and very patient with me and my discomfort, but overall he made this trip fun and pleasant. He is a very kind tour guide all the locals love him and the city pets also look forward to see Momo. This tour is very well worth it, and our lunch was delishhhhhhhhh 😋. I high recommend this tour and ask for Momo 🤗

Trip to the City that Alexander the Great built, Julius Caesar conquered, and I ate lunch. - We had a great trip! Our driver sliced through the Egypt traffic like a hot knife through humus. Our tour guide was Momo, and he did a great job of telling the history and getting us to all the important photo ops. The catacombs, the Roman Amphitheater, the Library. We had a great lunch, put our feet in the Mediterranean Sea, and then headed back to Cairo. It was a great day!

Momo and Alexandria - Momo did a great job He really went out of his way to make sure we had a good tour Unfortunately the Alexandria Library was only open for 2 hours, but it was still impressive I would highly recommend him for any tour of Alexandria - he really knows his history and has a passion for Egypt

Great experience! - Had a fantastic experience! The driver was nice and polite, driving as safe as possible in Egypt. The guide was absolutely superb - very flexible, altered the itinerary based on our interests and was sharing loads of interesting facts and stories about the places we’ve visited (+ a thousand other questions we had). We didn’t expect much from the trip but were really impressed and would recommend to anyone!

Below average tour - The sites in Alexandria was ok, not great. The tour guide did not really provide sufficient or exciting narratives about what we looked at. Somewhat disappointed with the following: Tour guide was busy in feeding cats and dogs along the way (not spending time explaining) The weather was hot in June but tour guide decided to explain everything to us at the top of the Roman theater under the shades (instead of walking around the theater with us and explaining in real time) At the end of the tour, the guide was rushing to leave. So instead of taking us to a restaurant for a sit down lunch, he bought us food and asked us to eat in the car. He said many times that he wanted to provide a good tour, but his actions spoke the opposite.
