Great experiences - Mohammad and driver Ibrahim collected us from our hotel in Giza at 7am. Mohammad gave us history lessons, not just of Alexandria, but of ancient Egypt as well. He was informative, knowledgeable and verb interesting. He’d give us little pop quizzes along the way, which were fun. We went to many interesting sites and learnt much of the history of Alexandria. I would throughly recommend this tour.

Excellent hassle free trip to Alexandria - This was the second trip I had arranged with Mohamed. The driver and guide picked me up on time and we made our way to Alexandria with a comfort break. The trip was great and everything I wanted. The guide was very knowledgeable and arranged all of the entries to the sites with his credit card (unlike the pyramid tour). Lunch was a lovely fresh fish buffet style meal in one of the back streets that we all ate together. Arranging such a trip takes all the hassle and messing about away and I would recommend doing it. You can tailor a lot of the trip as it’s flexible. Thank you Mohamed for your help in an Egypt.

Alexandria - perfect 10 day - Amazing day in Alexandria. Our driver Mohamed safely got us to and from our hotel in Cairo. He was an excellent travel companion with my wife and I. We picked up Ayman, our local guide. Ayman was that perfect guide you hope you would get knowledgable, thoughtful of us, answered all our questions, great sense of humor, and deftly worked us around crowds to get private moments. Saw the catacombs, Pompey’s tower, the citadel and had a great lunch at the Fresh Fish market overlooking the historic harbor. A perfect 10 day.

I was mind blown! - Boogie is the best guide ever and you’d be able to agree with me when you listen to him talk about the historical facts of the places he has taken me to! The passion, the knowledge! Man, how does he remember dates? How can he not get them mixed up? Finding out that the Qaiet Bay Castle was built over one of the seven wonders of the world - The Alexandria Lighthouse, was mind blowing! The Catacombs of El Shoqafa was unreal!

Knowledgeable, entertaining, and fast - Wallid knows his stuff and fastest way around. Brought us to a nice spot at the Citadel, where the view was beautiful and the wind and sea made it all the better. Also doesn’t bring us to overly touristy places to buy stuff, and the lunch spot he brought us to is well-rated and delicious and comfortable. Would recommend him thoroughly. Do ask for Wallid specifically!

Fantastic guide Muhammad wonderful sites for a fun getaway - we did this amazing tour of Alexandria with our guide Muhammad he was  fantastic  and full of knowledge. We started our day at 7 am  where he met us in the hotel lobby. His driver Muhammad  carefully drove us to Alexandria city  its a 2.5 hr drive each way. First  we did the Greek city tour portion ( 1.catacombs of kom el shoqafa,  2. pompey's pillar,  3. castle of qauit bay ) Then 4.  Mosque of Abu El Abass Al-Morsi ( I was not allowed in as a women but my spouse did) 5. A wonderful lunch at local restaurant. 6. Library of Alexandria but only took photos because it closed Fridays and Saturdays. then we drove the 2.5 hours back to Cairo. We were back to our hotel by 3pm.  It was a nice quick getaways  from cairo/giza area. The water by Alexandria is crystal blue and we stopped at 2 rest stops along the way for bathroom breaks.  We really  enjoyed this educational getaway and our great guide Muhammad and his driver Muhammad.

Sea and Seafood - We did a day trip with Hala. It was a fairly long ride but the vehicle was comfortable, allowing us to sleep on the way. The citadel was really beautiful. Hala brought us to a local restaurant for fresh seafood at very affordable price. The serving was generous!
