Amazing Alexandria - Abdelkhalek was our tour guide and he was wonderful. He was very patient with our family of 23 adults, teenagers, elderly and young children. He explained the history of many of the places we visited and even volunteered to take our family pictures in front of all the sites. FTS provided us with a great experience! I wouldn’t hesitate to book through this company. They were punctual and very professional with great communication.

average experience - I took a 10 hour private drive with Tour guide. We found the explanations were delivered too quickly and the explanations were also very short.
I was surprised to learn from locals the tour guide takes comission from them for purchases - so we had to try and shop around when we had free time to avoid paying higher prices.
Found that bargaining myself for things like a horse and carriage ride was significantly cheaper than letting the tour guide do so (probably would take commission).
Despite booking a private tour when we were at the Egyptian Museum he allowed someone to join our tour 'as a favour to one of his friend's.
