very nice and highly recommended. Guide was excellent.

Very nice tour worth seeing the city. It was a bit confusing about the start and end of trip. This trip was initiated and ended in Alexandria. We paid extra for transport from Cairo.

Excellent highlights tour with a great team

We were extremely satisfied with this tour! Our guide, Rasha, was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, and our driver was excellent as well. The itinerary was perfect, covering all the main highlights of Alexandria, but Rasha was also flexible enough to adapt the program slightly to suit our needs. The organization was top-notch; they picked us up right on time and everything ran smoothly. If you're visiting Alexandria, we definitely recommend this tour!

Excellent Alexandria Tour with Ms. Heba

We had a wonderful trip to Alexandria, Egypt. The city is full of history, and our tour guide Heba made the experience even better. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and well-organized. We highly recommend this tour and especially Heba for anyone visiting Alexandria.

Rania, our guide, and...

Rania, our guide, and Hani, our driver picked us up from hotel. Took us to all the major sightseeing spots. Rania, as an Egyptologist, gave us great introduction about what we saw and what we should know. And she encouraged us to ask questions. We felt we learned a lot about the country as well as the city of Alexandria!

Alexandria definitive tour!

Amazing trip to all the interesting sites in Alexandria! Rasha even accommodated two special spots for us so I can go by traditional Egyptian outfit from an authentic place and also a local cafe stop for Seesha! Other tour guides push you to buy things but she maintained a relaxed pace and never pushed us anywhere. Great experience overall and highly recommend

History, Culture and Kindness

Shaimaa was a great host and extremely knowledgeable. This tour is well organized, and accommodating to the travelers (i.e. when one traveler was in need of a coffee fix, Shaimaa made it happen). We were not rushed in any location, Shaimaa gave us a lot of information, but then let us go at our own pace.

Excellent Experience

Heba is an outstanding tour guide. She is extremely knowledgeable and explains the history and details of the monuments in a clear and engaging way. What really sets her apart is how much she truly cares about her guests. She went the extra mile in every sense, including personally helping my mom get in and out of the car to make sure she was comfortable and safe. I have traveled a lot and worked with many guides over the years, and Heba is honestly one of the best I’ve ever had. Touring with her was a pleasure and made the whole experience even more special. It was an excellent experience from start to finish, and I highly recommend her to anyone visiting Alexandria!

A Full, Rich Experience

Aala and her driver picked us up in our hotel lobby and took us on a 6-hour tour including the Catacombs, the Amphitheater, and the Library. We learned so much about each site we visited, as well as the neighborhoods we drove through, the city as a whole, and Egypt as a whole. My 20-year-old son and I were enthralled the entire time!
