Highlights of Alexandria - Our tour of Alexandria covered most of the places that were of interest to us and gave us a good feel for the city. Our guide, Wesson, was very knowledgeable and very helpful. She not only knew a great deal of information about the important sites in the city, she also seemed to know everyone and to be known by them.

Alexandria and Jan were Excellent! - From the confirmation text from Mirette to our guide, Jan to the driver, Prince, to the city itself, everything worked!!! We were promptly collected from our hotel and off we went to each destination. Jan was knowledgeable and gave us history from minute #2! He was very patience as we had a child with us. The driver was very good, no speeding or crazy driving. We saw a lot of the town and even got to walk the city streets. It was a pleasant afternoon and were hesitant. Mirette, Jan, Prince, and the people of Alexandria put us at ease and we felt welcomed. Cheers!

Perfect way to explore the fascinating city fo Alexandria. - Private tour with an excellent, knowledgeable local guide took us to all the highlights of the city and explained the significance of each place we visited. Lunch at a restaurant overlooking the Mediterranean Sea was included -- good meal, although the fish was slightly overcooked.

Amazing Alexandria! - This tour was great! Our guide Mohamed showed us all the amazing sights of Alexandria, as well as taking us to some mosques, churches and areas not included on typical cruise line excursions (the real Alexandria). We were able to spend as much time as we wanted at the areas rather than being rushed from place to place. We had a delicious lunch in a very nice restaurant at a reasonable price. He even took us to some shops where he helped us get great prices on nice products. Thank you
