Alexandria at last!

Our day in Alexandria was excellent. Our guide and driver showed us the highlights in such a way that we avoided choke times and didn't have to wait for tickets. The Catacombs were fascinating and Pompey's Pillar interesting especially after all the historical context was explained. Visiting the library was the best and the fort on the site of the ancient lighthouse was very worthwhile. The included lunch was welcome both for the opportunity to rest out of the heat as well as for the refreshment and nutrition.

Best Driver in Alexandria

Absolutely wonderful! We booked with very late notice (midnight for 10am tour) and they were able to accommodate. Our driver, Heny, gave great service. Even though we didn’t have a guide on that short notice, Heny still pointed out places of interest. He also escorted us to each site (safely across busy streets) and immediately found us upon our exit to bring us back to the car. Thanks Heny!

Fantastic Experience

We had the perfect day tour of Alexandria with Walid! He was very accommodating and kind, he tailored the tour to meet our needs, and was patient while we took a million photos. The sites were amazing and Walid gave us detailed information about each one. The driving was also safe and we felt taken care of the whole time. Highly recommend this day tour of Alexandria, and ask for Walid.
