I definitely recommend the best tour I've ever had with Shamaa, who is a great Alexandrian!️

My guide, Shaimaa, is a very nice guide. He was really nice to me and he was very careful about each of us at Santorum. The Catacombs and the Roman Theater, the Church of St. Mark, the Mosque of Alexandria, the Alexandria Library, the Alexandrian Mosque, the Alexandrian Library, and the explanations were very easy to understand. He explained it slowly in English. They used a translation app to explain what might be difficult. Her explanation was perfect. And I enjoyed it because of that explanation. I'd like to have her guide. I highly recommend it. One of the group was Italian. Saint San Marco of Venice. Show me the venerable Church of San Marco, which tells the story of arriving in Egypt from the African continent, He showed me that wonderful mosaic in the basement. The restaurant with the view of the sea where we went for lunch was better than the view. The aeshi was hot and really delicious, and the grilled fish and the rice that accompanied the fish dish tasted really good. All the Egyptian guests were drinking, so I asked for fresh lemon and mint juice, which was very good. Of course, the view was great. Buy Lotus flower oil from a pure oil perfume shop It was fun.

Excellent day trip for a family looking to see another wonderful city in Egypt! Highly recommended!!

This day trip to Alexandria was wonderful for my family! My children, aged 5 and 8, loved it. Our tour guide, Shaimaa, went above and beyond to make sure they were happy! She showed us some of the highlights of the city while sharing her incredible knowledge of the history of Egypt. We particularly enjoyed the catacombs and fort! Shaimaa ensured that we saw everything we wanted to, and she never made us feel rushed. We really appreciate her kindness and hospitality! We also felt very safe being transported by our fantastic driver, Mina. Both of them made this trip to Alexandria absolutely perfect!

One day trip from Kairo: Alwxandria in a nutshell

The trip was well organized with hotel pickup in Cairo and guide in Alexandria. The pickup was at my house at 7am, the driver was already at 6:45am on the doorstep waiting for me. The ride was pleasant and flexible (cafe break etc.). The driver Ramez was very nice, entertaining and driving pleasantly. On the spot in Alexandria we met Shaimaa our guide, she was very nice and always has a smile on her face. She explained everything thoroughly and was open to asking. She also knew almost all the people working at the attractions, which had an even more relaxed and entertaining effect on the whole tour. The tour was flexible and Mann can arrange the time as you like (stay longer or shorter at one attraction, or drop an attraction). We had a lovely time in Alexandria with Shaimaa and Ramez together. In the late afternoon I drove back to Cairo with Ramez to the hotel. Everything went great and I can recommend the tour, Shaimaa and Ramez.

Day to Alexandria from Cairo

A day well spent in Alexandria, Kaseem was very comprehensive, we told him we wanted to be back to Cairo earlier and he accomodated to our schedule, he was also telling us the stories in a funny way and have us enough time for pictures. He is very knowledgable of many historic data and people, i would say he is very qualified for the tour. Thank you for making this experiance posible. The experience is longer than advertised since it takes from 7:30am pick up to 6-7 pm dropoff point, however they can accomodate for your convenience.

Exciting journey through the history of Alexandria. The highlights of Alexandria.

The tour was very exciting. Shaimaa has told me a lot about the history of Alexandria from ancient times until now. We visited the most exciting places of Alexandria. The driver was also super friendly and took me comfortably from my hotel to Alexandria and back. The entrance to the individual tourist places I had to pay myself, but that was communicated from the beginning. Because I was traveling alone, my guide took pictures of me, which was great. There were also occasions where I could explore myself and I never felt rushed. We could watch everything at my pace. The highlight for me was the new library of Alexandria. The building is very nice and I could get lost in between the bookshelves. I certainly recommend having a drink and maybe bringing a snack. The tour is long and no lunch break is planned. For me it was no problem as I had a big breakfast at the hotel, and also brought something small.

Private day trip to Alexandria

Excellent tour of the city of Alexandria,Shaimaa . Our guide Gave us all the information about the different sites and she was very passionate about the Eygptipn history and culture . We visited all the sites on the itinerary and the fresh fish lunch was in a lovely restaurant on the beach . The driver was very courteous and Shaimaa really made our day . We would definitely recommend this private tour it was worth the extra cost to have a guide for the two of us rather then be part of a huge tour .
