A great guide can make the difference - Today’s tour was awesome We had a great time with our fantastic guide Mohamed. We met him in Alexandria. Our tour departed from Cairo, a nice van with AC with our professional driver who drove us during the whole tour and brought us back to Cairo. Mohamed’s knowledge impressed us a great deal. He was very nice to us all the time and we learned from him. He is knowledgeable in history and his English is perfect. Mohamed was so nice that he even bought ice cream for us. He shows pasión for his work. Thanks to him our trip to Alexandria was a total success.

A Perfect Day In Alexandria - I am so happy to have booked this excursion last minute. Waleed, our guide, was super knowledgeable, hilarious, accommodating, and made sure each of us had a great time. Alexandria in 1 day wasn't enough time and I wish we could have spent more time there, but even with the limited time we had, it was absolutely phenomenal!

Amazing day in Alexandria - The entire day with Waleed the guide was incredible ! We discovered the city of Alexandria through different aspects (cultural, historical, gastronomical, religious…). Waleed is a guide with lot of knowledges of Alexandria, who can learn you all about this city with the same passion and happiness. We felt that he really loves his country and his city. Also, he is truly compassionate and, with his, you couldn’t be sad during this day. To conclude, it was a perfect day with a perfect team and mood. Thank you !

Enriching excursion and complete city tour! - The excursions lived up to our expectations and even more (more than 10 different monuments). Very attentive guide and good advice. We felt really safe. A driver present all day to take us to the different sites. Long excursion, do not plan any major obligations in the evening. It was a very enriching experience, we highly recommend!

Great Experience of 1 day in Alexandria - Amazing experience. Waleed Magdy was a great guide who helped us have the best experience in Alexandria. Definitely had the best lunch from all tours with a sea view of the Mediterranean. Highly recommended if you want to see the best of Alexandria in 1 day.
