Memorable Trip

I had an amazing one-day tour in Alexandria yesterday, and I couldn't be more impressed! Our guide, Rasha, was absolutely fantastic. She was not only knowledgeable about the rich history and culture of Alexandria but also incredibly engaging and approachable. She made every stop on the tour memorable with her insightful stories and clear explanations. I highly recommend this tour, especially with Rasha as the guide. Her passion and dedication truly made the day special. Definitely a 5-star experience—thank you for an unforgettable day!

Seeing Alexandria through new eyes!

We had so much fun exploring Alexandria with Karim and Rasha! Some highlights included trying delicious foods (don't miss the liver!), walking through the souq in Anfushi, and riding a microbus. Of course, there was plenty of history too, from the catacombs to Qaitbey's fort. We truly got a glimpse into Alexandria's rich past and dynamic present. Plus, Karim recommended the best seafood place for us to try after the tour! We would have never experienced Alexandria this way without Karim and Rasha.

Full-day tour to Alexandria

We recently took a full-day tour to Alexandria, Egypt, and it was a fantastic experience! Our tour guide was extremely professional and helpful throughout the day. The highlight for us was the Alexandria Library (Bibliotheca Alexandrina). Being avid bibliophiles, we were delighted that our guide allowed us ample time to explore. We could have easily spent hours immersed in the vast collection and exhibits. We particularly enjoyed the modern art and traditional textiles on display and found the Anwar Sadat exhibit both informative and moving. Alexandria itself is a beautiful city, and we thoroughly enjoyed the serene atmosphere by the water. Our tour ended at the Citadel, and we found a lovely nearby restaurant where we watched the sailing boats – a perfect end to a perfect day. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Alexandria!

Wonderfull private tour!

Our guide, Rasha, was knowledgeable and energetic. She took us through the Alexandria library and museums. In addition we toured the catacombs and roman amphitheater as well as Saint Mark's cathedral. The driver was always waiting when we were ready to go to next stop. We stopped for light lunch and finished our tour tired but filled with memories.

Best Guide in Alexandria

Karim is an excellent guide, maybe one of the best I’ve ever had (and I’ve traveled to a lot of places). In 6 hours, he introduced me to several Alexandria culinary specialties, including meat, seafood, savory pie, juice, coffee, and pastry. He arranged for me to take pictures and videos of each place to capture the ambience. In between snacks, he took me to all the sites I wanted to visit, PLUS some. He asked at the beginning what I wanted to see and what my dietary preferences were, so I know he can tailor the experience to any and everyone. He is kind, generous with his knowledge (which is vast since he grew up here), funny while still being respectful and professional, and an all around fabulous guide. Hr also knows everyone in town. Do yourself a favor and book with him!
