The trip was well organized. Everything from the communications before, transportation and guide was good. I have to add tho that Alexandria as a place comparing to Luxor or Giza/Sakkara isn't impressive.

Samu and Moka are excellent, I would give more than five stars. They picked us up on time and took us to see the pyramids of Giza, I couldn't have a better guide. The restaurant is very good and the trips are also very comfortable. Very friendly and knowledgeable about the history of Egypt. We were very happy. Excellent photographer too. Thanks guys

We decided to take this tour from Cairo to Alexandria to see a different part of Egypt, and were very happy with the decision. Our driver Hossem arrived ahead of schedule (which is impressive given Cairo traffic), and took us on a comfortable trip up to Alexandria on the Mediterranean coast where our local guide joined us. Hossem had previously been our driver on a tour of the pyramids, and we were pleased to see him again because he's very personable and easy to get along with, and chatting with him made the drive pass quickly. Our guide in Alexandria, Ayman, did a great job of introducing us to the archaeological and present-day features of his city. He kept us engaged by asking us questions, rather than just presenting his knowledge as a one-way flow of information. I was a good technique, and we learned a lot. This was our second OceanAir Travels tour, and another one that I would highly recommend. It's clearly a well-organised and competently-staffed company.
