Our guide, Waleed, was great. Very personable and knowledgable. His English was practically perfect. He planned our day to get to sites that he knew would be busier later in the day. The lunch spot he selected served delicious Egyptian food. I would recommend him again to anyone for sure!

Highly recommended guide! The standard program shows a few sights too short (e.g. excavations only from the outside, theater only seen in the distance), although there was enough time for a full tour. But I could see everything and still no more time was necessary for the guide. I only had to pay additional entrance fees.

Brilliant day exploring the beautiful city of Alexandria. Our guide Mr Mohamed is very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and has excellent English. He's so knowledgeable and passionate about all things Egypt but especially ancient Egypt, hieroglyphs and linguistics. Just simply a fascinating day. Our driver Akmed was incredibly good. We felt comfortable and safe all day. 5*s

It's an intense day, as we kept moving briskly but not too fast. We saw everything! Would like to spend more time at Library and see more of the Roman ruins. Our guide Karim and driver Mahmoud were excellent!

We are grateful to our guide Nihad Hassan, who was superb. She put everything in the right perspective for us, and allowed us time to explore by ourselves as well. We greatly appreciated her excellent English as well!

Extraordinary experience, very well recommended! Best in town guide Noor! You also need a experienced driver in order to explore Alexandria and ours (Essam) was exceptional!

A good tour to see the highlights of Alexandria with a local guide to explain the history and significance of each site. We started at 9:30 am and finished at 5:30 pm. Our only complaint is that the vehicle provided was to small for 6 people (4 tourists, driver& guide) and we were cramped into the back 3rd row seats. There was quite a lot of time spent in the vehicle due to the roads jammed with crazy traffic and the distance between sites.

Long drive from Cairo to Alexandria but break it up halfway with a coffee or juice - very fast drive on very good roads. Alexandria is beautiful and part of the greco Roman history of Egypt, and as relics ar ebrought up rom the sea will become an increasingly interesting place to visit
