Best way to see Alexandria

We had a pleasure to get to know Alexandria with Karim - an excellent guide and Alexandria native. It was raining on the day of our visit and Karim constantly shifted things around to make sure we see the inside places when it rains and to be outside when it doesn't. It was really astonishing. While doing so he was able to answer every question we had (and we had a lot) and to make sure that we get acquainted with all the important sites and information. Being that you have only 4h to visit Alexandria, having someone that organized and knowledgeable really means a great deal. Thank you Karim!

Fantastic tour

I really enjoyed my tour with Rasha and Kareem. I arrived in Alexandria for a day trip, from Cairo, and they picked me up from the station. The itinerary was customised based on what I wanted to see, and what I was interested in. Rasha is a very knowledgeable guide, she knows so much about the history of Alexandria and of the sites we visited. I told her I loved stories and she told me a story about every place we visited. I took my time choosing a tour guide for this day trip and I am very happy that I found Rasha. She showed me her city like a friend would do. I just wish I had more time in Alexandria, as there are so many things to do and see there! I would love to return and spend some more time with Rasha and Kareem, learning about their city.

Awesome Alexandria experience

Rasha is an excellent guide. Her knowledge of both current and historical events helped tie everything together. She was very accomodating of our small group's pace. I found her to be quite personable and easy to chat with. 110% recommend booking with her.

My favorite tour

WOW!! This was one of the most fun, informative, and interesting tours I've ever taken! have very specific interests in art and architecture and Rasha understood immediately what types of things would interest me, and was able to answer all of my questions. She is so kind and fun to tour with. It was such a relief to be in a car with a/c during the heat also. Her and Careem, our driver, even helped me to get my train tickets for the next day!! I learned so much from this experience and I want to come back to Alexandria just to take another tour with Rasha!!!! Thank you so much!!!

Best Full Day Tour Ever

Karim was the perfect guide to show us all of Alexandria. He is very knowledgeable and knew how to avoid traffic and kept the pressure of street sellers off of us. It was a full day tour and we saw all the sites as promised before they closed with plenty of time.

Half day tour of alexandria

Rasha's book knowledge and english was good and she was an accommodating guide but we missed the innate quality of a guide that makes history interesting by adding anecdotes to the facts.

Full day tour alexandria

Karim is an amazing tour guide. He took me to the roman theater, pompei tower, catacombs, the fortress on the harbor, and egyptian library that is full of museums inside. The knowledgr henhas is great, he is helpful with photos, and even assisted me finding a scuba diving shop, and location near my hotel to get a pcr test for my flight to leave. Will highly recommend this tour and it is a great experience.

An excellent tour

An excellent tour of Alexandria. My guide, Karim, was punctual and spoke excellent English, providing plenty of information throughout the day on both the historical and modern city. The tour was well-organised and took in the major sights, with opportunity to alter the itinerary along the way if particular sights/areas were of more interest. Karim also gave recommendations for restaurants and for further sightseeing. Tour Egypt took Covid-safe measures seriously, with sanitiser (and spare masks, if needed), available in the car which was itself vey clean. I found this very reassuring in the current situation. The tour was great value for money and I would recommend it highly.
