Amazing experience - We booked a full-day tour of Alexandria, and it turned out to be an excellent choice. We thoroughly enjoyed immersing ourselves in the rich Greco-Roman history of the city and delving into the captivating story of Queen Cleopatra. The sights we encountered were truly breathtaking. Alexandria, with its stunning sea views and charming old European-style buildings lining the city center, exudes a unique beauty. Additionally, we had the pleasure of indulging in the delectable local Egyptian cuisine, which proved to be a delightful culinary experience. We extend our heartfelt gratitude for providing us with such a memorable journey.

Tour of Alexandria with Tarek - A great way of taking a day trip from Cario. We went around the city to see the major places such as the catacombs, citadel and library. The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. He even took us to a great seaside restaurant to end our tour! Five stars plus Tarek!!!

Private shore excursion from Alexandria port - We were fortunate to have a private tour of Alexandria during our voyage on the Norwegian Gem cruise. Everything exceeded our expectations, as the pick-up and drop-off were punctual. Both the tour guide and the driver were exceptionally friendly and accommodating. Alexandria truly is a remarkable city, with its stunning sea views from the Citadel Quiet Bay Castle. We look forward to returning next year for another memorable experience.

Awesome Alexandria Adventure - Tarek was a wonderful and knowledgeable tour guide. His knowledge of archaeology and clear love of his country and culture made for a fascinating and informative tour. Our driver made getting from place to place easy and convenient, and trying authentic Egyptian food for breakfast and lunch added to the adventure. The Citadel, Mosque, Alexandria Library, catacombs and Roman amphitheater were not just seen but explained. Not to mention that Tarek was also an excellent photographer so we have wonderful memories of our visit to take with us!

Best Tour We Have Experienced!! - Tarek and Sharif were fantastic! Tarek did an excellent job in explaining the history of the city, country and the wonderful sites we visited. Sharif was masterful in driving through the city and ensuring we were close to the sites. They were professional, knowledgeable, flexible, friendly, etc. They became our friends. The best tour we had throughout our cruising career.

Tarek is an excellent guide! - We took a tour with Tarek to explore Alexandria where we docked during a cruise.
Tarek was incredible while communicating from the get go and throughout.
He tailored a tour according to our needs and interests. We visited the new library (a must), a local market and a hidden old colonial bar, ate local food and had a lot of interesting insights.
