Catacombs, Library, Roman Ruins, & the Citadel with Youssef! - Youssef was a FABULOUS tour guide! His unlimited knowledge of history & the city enabled him to customize a tour just for us. An overall great experience! Booking the tour & communication prior to the tour was very easy to meet up at the port.

Fantastic guided tour. - The tour guide and driver exceptional. Very willing and able to accommodate our needs making it exceptionally enjoyable. The only thing to be aware of is that the port pick up/ drop off location requires a longer walk than we expected.

Wonderful tour! We learned so much! - We had a wonderful time with our tour guide Dina. She took us to the four sites of our choice, and provided an incredibly comprehensive amount of information so we could understand the context of everything we were seeing. She has a university degree in Egyptian tourism, so she knew the answer to literally every question that we could think up. And the driver was perfect too, navigating all the twists and turns of Alexandria in a very comfortable car. Highly recommended!

Great day out in Alexandria, Egypt - Our group of five enjoyed an excellent day with our guide Wessam doing a Mirette private tour in Alexandria yesterday. The lovely Wessam was very knowledgeable and funny, looked after us extremely well and nothing was too much bother. The tour was tailored to our interests and what we wanted to do and see. We found Egypt to be very safe and friendly and highly recommend visiting the country. At no time did any of us feel unsafe. If you get the chance to visit Alexandria you should... we were surprised and pleased to find so much to see and learn about it's history. It's a hidden gem. Highly recommend Wassam and Mirette Tours.

Lovely Tour - Our guide started us off with a lovely cup of Turkish coffee while providing us with history of Egypt. We got to see all the sights listed plus visiting a mosque. We felt very cared for as if an old friend was showing us the city. Thank you!!!

Amazing Guide in Alexandria! - We had a great day with John. He took us to many sites in Alexandria and shared lots of interesting and fun facts. We had our 10 year old with us and John kept her engaged the entire day. We learned so much about the history of Alexandria thanks to John!

Very good tour guide - Our tour guide and driver were excellent The only reason for guiding 4 starts instead of 5 was that we had a car and not a minivan It was challenging to get in and out and a minivan would have fixed this issue I would recommend the tour 100% From Canada on a cruise
