Tour of Alexandria throughout history

My dad and I loved our Alexandria tour. Rasha was an incredible tour guide, she knew everything about the history of the city and made the logistics smooth. She would always explain our options and let us guide the direction of the tour and was so attentive. I learned so many new things about the city and it ended up being our favorite Egypt tour.

Fun, educational day out for history buffs

Rasha came early for the pick up. We visited all the historical sites as listed in Viator. The advantage is she also gave us tips on where to eat and shop, as well as provide info on the buildings we pass by. It was a lovely day. Would recommend this tour to first time visitors to Alexandria. Her husband runs a 3 hour food tour. Will try this the next time.

Beautiful day in Alexandria

We had a wonderful time in Alexandria. Our guide has great knowledge and was really kind and insightful. Unfortunately the library is closed on Friday so we weren’t able to check it out inside, but it was still worth to come and check Alexandria out. Our favorite stop was the Citadel which offers a beautiful view to the city and the shore.

Visiting Alexandria as a solo visitor

A wonderful day as a solo (curious) traveler on business in Egypt. I chose this tour as the reviews were so good and I wasn't disappointed. Rasha was fun and knowledgable and a great conversationalist. We visited all the spots I wanted to and nothing was too much trouble. Shout out to Karim also, he drove but is a guide himself so I got double the fun. Highly recommended.

Amazing Day In Alexandria with Heba

Heba is an incredibly professional guide with amazing energy, deep knowledge and a warm, positive presence that makes you feel comfortable from the first moment. She explains everything clearly, answers every question with patience, and knows all the hidden gems that turn a normal tour into an unforgettable experience. Her passion, kindness and attention to detail made the entire day truly special. An absolute recommendation.

Sightseeing Alexandria with a 2 for 1 pair

We loved touring with Rasha and Kareem. They were both very knowledgeable about Alexandria and Egypt in general. Rasha had an answer to every question we had but we really were inundated with answers. They were both smart and we loved Kareem’s sense of humor. Their love of their home town was obvious and we marveled at Kareem’s ability to manage the driving without losing focus. We would highly recommend them either individually or as a pair for any and all visitors to this city.

Rasha was so knowledgeable about Egyptian history and answered all our questions, even the dumb ones!

Rasha was so knowledgeable about Egyptian history and we learned so much! Our driver was amazing! Best team ever! Thank you!

Go with cheaper alternatives

Even though the guide did everything possible, not worth the price as it doesn't include anything and excluding the castle, not much to see in the destinations. This advertisement is misleading. They have marked many destinations optional without explaining what that means. When you read it, it means up to the traveller, but they may ask you to choose. This is definitely not full day tour, at most half day. The library is closed during the weekends (Friday, Saturday) and they don't mention this and allow bookings on those days.
