Alexandria Tour - The tour was the most amazing experience ever. Mahmoud was incredible as our guide. He is not just a guide but a graduate of Egyptology from Alexandria University and his knowledge of everything was so mind blowing that we spent the whole tour spell bound by him. The best your experience we had ever had and highly recommend as an essential experience to everyone. Julie

Most wonderful tour of Alexandria ever! - Mahmoud was the best tour guide we have ever had in our 20 years of touring Europe. He is a graduate of the university of Alexandrina in archeology and his knowledge of ancient sites was unmatched.

The best way to see this city - This tour was great. Our tour guide John was FANTASTIC. He made the experience way better than if I toured the city on my own. Having a driver navigate the crazy traffic was definitely necessary. Our guide made sure everything was good and gave very clear instructions during the day. He was informative and spoke excellent English.
