Alexandria in a day with Rasha

Rasha communicated in advance to confirm pick up details. She was waiting for us at the agreed on spot and time. Rasha was very knowledgeable and engaging. She paid attention to our preferences. We had an excellent day. Our driver was great. Van was clean and in good repair.

Wonderful excursion with fantastic guide and driver.

This excursion was a great experience. Heba, our guide, excelled through her kindness and vast knowledge. She knew how to plan everything so that we were always ahead of the big crowds. Hani, our driver, guided us with calm and skill through the often chaotic traffic. It was very interesting to have been introduced to so many aspects of Egyptian culture and especially Alexandria. We can recommend these fantastic people to everyone.

✨ A Perfect Tour in German with Rasha

Rasha customized the tour perfectly to our wishes. We felt very well taken care of throughout the entire time, received lots of interesting information, and truly enjoyed the experience. She even went out of her way to help us find an important medication, visiting several pharmacies until she succeeded – a huge thank you for that! We took the tour in German, and Rasha explained everything clearly and fluently. We can warmly recommend Rasha as a tour guide to everyone.

Really enjoyed our tour. We were able to select what we wanted to see in Alexandria and Rasha our guide was great!

Rasha has an expensive knowledge of Alexandria and its history. Our small tour arrived before large tour buses so we had a more pleasant experience. We were also able to select what we wanted to see so the tour is customizable.

Amazing day in beautiful Alexandria

What an amazing day! We were with Rasha who toured us around the city of Alexandria and Ahmed who was our driver. We went to everything listed and they were both kind enough to stop at various places that we asked. Would recommend this to anyone of my family and friends

Great private tour of Alexandria!

Really enjoyed this private tour. They picked us up on time and on the way to the first stop gave a detailed history lesson. We had plenty of time to enjoy each stop and we never rushed. Definitely worth it for a private tour.

Alexandria Tour

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and very kind. We are older, and the weather was extremely hot. Our guide and driver showed us much of the city and its attractions while also considering our comfort and ability to withstand the heat. We highly recommend this tour, guide and driver for a great overview of Alexandria.

Perfect way to explore Alexandria

My day trip around Alexandria with Nada, was definitely a highlight of my time in Alex. Nada was so kind, funny and a wealth of knowledge. It is obvious that this is her passion, not just a job, I would 100% recommend tour with Nada.
