Very much enjoyed this tour.

Really enjoyed this tour with Shaimaa. We visited half a dozen different sites, all of which Shaimaa was very knowledgeable about. I didn’t feel at all rushed and I was given the opportunity to decide where I wanted to go next. The highlight was probably visiting the mosque , which was an amazing experience. I recommend to all.

Fun! Busy! Informative!

Shaimaa picked us up from the port and took us to all the interesting sights in Alexandria. It was a busy day filled with a lot of great information and history about Alexandria. Shaimaa was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed our day with her. Our driver was great as well. He kept us safe in the crazy traffic and was right on top of our drop-offs and pick-ups at each location.

They made us fell in love with Egypt

No words can describe how much we enjoyed the experience Shaima and Iman made us fell in love with Alexandria and Cairo. The attention to details to accommodate all our requests was impeccable and they were very patient even when we asked to go shopping :) the drivers were so genuine. I recommend this tour for all those who are looking for an authentic human experience. We felt like home

Great tour and guide

I always try to do a tour on the first day somewhere as an orientation and this has great reviews on trip advisor. It didn't disappoint. My guide Rasha is hugely knowledgeable, has great English and is passionate about the history and treasures of Alexandria. We visited all the main sites and I came away knowing enough to be reminded how remarkable this civilization is and what a vexed history it has had, which contribute to its richness. The driver was also great, giving confidence in somewhat crazy traffic. My only query is that this was billed as a fully day tour of 6-7 hours, and it was over in 4 hours, and at times it felt a bit rushed. Otherwise it would have rated it 5.
