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!

Informative and educational - Our guide, Soha, was waiting for us punctually at our hotel lobby. She was able to recommend the sites to go to for our trip. Very good choices I just say. At each site or in the car, she would brief us and tell us about the place that we were going to, hence making the tour interesting. Sometimes we were even given litte trivia which made the visits to the places interesting. She did not rush us and even gave us time to see the places after her explanation. Together with our driver mr Abdul, we had a great tour of some of Alexandria’s great sites! Thank you.

Excellent tour of the Second World War battlefields in North Africa - A well organised half day tour to the El Alamein war memorials. Our tour guide Karim was excellent and was very knowledgeable of the military campaign in Egypt. We visited all three memorials (German, Italian and Commonwealth) as well as the El Alamein Military Museum. Afterwards, Karim took me to a restaurant overlooking Alexandria harbour for a very pleasant lunch. All-in-all a memorable day out.

Excellent tour guides - This is a very good travel tour guide company. I booked through Viator for Giza Pyramid tour from Aexadria. Mirrett contacted me to see what I will do next few days. She helped to book two more tours for the next two days. Tour guide Dina arrived at exact time with a car and driver. We drove 220 km to Giza pyramid. We stopped once for bathroom break. Dina explained step by step history of Egypt going back to pherauns time. She was very knowledgeable has vast knowledge of all ancient archeological sties of Egypt. Next day my tour guide was Medhat (must be related to Mirrett Medhat. He was not only knowledgeable, very friendly as well. He made my tour very pleasant. At the end of the day, we had dinner cruse. The entertainment part of cruise was excellent. 3rd day Dina was my guide again. The driver Hany Milad is also very friendly. He is actually a middle school history teacher and drives tourists as part time. He also drove me to airport at midnight. Dina knew lots about the Alexandria Library, Citadel, museum. She knew history of all the art effects in the museum. I can't get any better guide then her. I wish I could stay longer to see more about Egypt.

An Incredible City Tour with a Wonderful and Friendly Guide - Our guide Wessam really took care of me and my mom during our tour of Alexandria. She was knowledgeable, informative, warm, and friendly! She made the entire experience fun and memorable for us as we saw the catacombs, the Citadel, and the mosque. We especially liked the personal and private aspect of the tour as we were able to absorb all the information Wessam was giving us about each place. There's a current misconception right now that Egypt is not safe to travel, but that's so far from the truth. We felt completely safe the entire time we were with Wessam. We would highly recommend this tour and Wessam as a guide!

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
