We were very satisfied with the tour. They were considerate of us so that we were not exposed to the sun all day. The tour guide, Maha Emam, was very accommodating and left nothing to be desired. Our driver was also excellent. We can only recommend this excursion.

I had a great day in Alexandria with our guide Maha Emam. She was very friendly, competent, and helpful. She showed me the most important sights with a lot of enthusiasm and made the day a truly beautiful experience. Absolutely recommended!

This was great for the money. A hundred dollars cheaper than any other tour I could find. The guides and the driver were outstanding. Very in depth, and caring toward the passengers. I would go again in a heartbeat. I would argue to say this is the best Alexandria tour you could go on if you’re a solo traveler!

We were collected from our Hotel by Ehab and Ramy the driver. Ehab was very polite and enthusiastic on our travels. He made the journey fun as he maintained the engagement with everyone in the group. He was a real asset to the tour. Ramy was a very good driver. We met our tour guide Ayman in Alexandria. He was very knowledgeable and engaged with the group. Fully recommend. A suggestion for improvement would be to slow the pace as it seemed too rushed.

Good and interesting guided tour of Alexandria from Maha Emam. In addition, the transfer from Cairo worked out well.

We had a great time and a great tour. The tour guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. She was an egiptologist and shared her expertise in Egyptian and Greek. Roman art and history. We covered the catacombs ( very crowded), the Roman theater, and the famous lighthouse ordered by Alexander the Great. We had a great lunch ( seafood) at the local restaurant with a Mediterranean sea view. We had no time left for the Coptic church and history in Alexandria. I recommend OceanAir tours.

The tour was a bit of a mixed bag: + car is comfortable with AC and a good driver + group size was excellent, four people in total + guide is knowledgable, answers all your questions during the ride + the logistics are well organized, you skip most of the lines On the negative side: - the guide was chasing us through the sites like crazy, we were done with the program before lunch already some of the steps were a real downer (2mins in front of the library, not entering the main building in the citadel, ...), overall we were back in the - the language skils of our guide (the tour was in German) were okay-ish, still one had to concentrate a lot in order to understand everything - the restaurant for lunch is full with masses of tour groups, the drinks are charged extra (overpriced) and the overall atmosphere is not very nice As always with these trips, the experience depends very much on the guide. The trip would have been way better if we had not been rushed that much through the sites

Our tour guide, Heba, was amazing! We couldn’t had a better one. She knew pretty much everything and took the time to take good pictures of us, gave us fresh water bottles and was patient when we took extra time to admire the Mediterranean view.
