A deep dive in ancient civilization - Alexandria was amazing! We learned stories from ancient time, both cultural and religious influences. Big thanks to Meg (our tour guide) who provided us such a huge amount of information. A great knowledge and understanding indeed. Understanding things that are not written in books but from the experience and deep history from a local is truly authentic.

Satisfied - Meg was a great guide. With a tourism and history degree, he was very knowledgeable about all the places we went. He was also able to answer questions that are not part of the tour, but Egyptian culture and the likes. Everything was organized and on time. Driver was fast but safe, and the fish for lunch was good.

Alexandria Tour Guide [2024/12/30] - It was such a great day thanks to you!
Mr. Amgad, the tour guide, was very kind and explained everything I didn't know attentively.
We were also very grateful to them for changing the order in which they turned!
I'm not good at English, but they've still been patient in communicating with me, and I've been able to go around very gently and with peace of mind!!
We had a lot of fun answering questions and anything!!
The driver, Sherif, is also very fun and friendly 🎶he is a good driver and caring person, so we could ride with peace of mind!!
Thank you very much.

[Good guide] Alexandria trip on December 30, 2024 - Together with my wife, we took a tour of the Catacombs, Pompeii ruins and Qatbay Fortress in Alexandria.
My guide, Mr. Amgad, was very kind. They followed us up very well even though our English was not good enough, and thanks to them, the experience in the limited time was amazing.
Also, the driver, Mr Sherif, is a very caring person and I am having a good time. The car was also safe to drive as much as possible, so it was a good factor to feel safe riding.

Take a deep dive into Alexandria with Amgad and become expert in the cities history. - We had an amazing tour with Amgad. It has been a dream of mine to see the major historic sites of Alexandria for years and I finally made it here. Amgad did an excellent job of showing us around, describing the sites and answering all of our questions. We came away with a deep appreciation for the history of this extraordinary city.
