Reem was great

My guide Reem knew all the spots to get the best photos. She gave a very detailed introduction at every spot, and was very interesting. Having a guide also made us feel safe during the visit.

Private Alexandria City Tour

Good organization, you didn't have to worry about anything (tickets, lunch was organized). The tour guide Reem had a lot of information, Hussein our driver dropped us off right in front of the sights and picked us up again. Only the arrangement to the meeting point of the pickup could be optimized.

Best way to see Alexandra’s sites.

We were able to pick a start time that suited us. Our guide Mohamed took us to all the top sites and we hot see more than we would have with out him. Our driver was also exceptional in navigating Alenadras streets.

Private guided tour to many historic locations in Alexandria, Egypt

We have just spent a great day touring the fantastic historic sights of Alexandria with Mahmoud, our expert guide through Desert Adventures. Mahmoud’s practical experience as an archaeologist and scholar and his wide ranging in-depth knowledge of the history of Alexandria, delivered with enthusiasm to share his knowledge, made the ancient to recent history come alive for us. We highly recommend his guiding abilities and would have no hesitation in returning for another tour!
