This was a wonderful trip offering us the opportunity to see Alexandria from many aspects. Our guide, Eyman, was fantastic! His knowledge was incredible and he spoke such good English that he had us enthralled at every stop. There was plenty of time at each place and they even kindly stopped at the library as I wanted to see it. Overall an excellent excursion and I highly recommend

Soha was the best guide I had whilst in Egypt. So knowledgeable, personable and passionate. She knew how to read the group and tell what we need to know but also answer questions and have conversations around the topic. Other guides work more like a script and only talk and emote when you get to a place. Alonso the driver was brilliant and lovely, he came to have a nice talk with me when he saw me sitting alone at the coffee stop. The restaurant we went to for lunch was the best food I had on my whole week trip to Egypt. The only thing I may fault is perhaps a bit overpriced, especially for a group tour but still a packed and brilliant day.

The tour guide Mohammed Gazal was very knowledgeable and was very detailed in his explanation of each historic sight we visited. Adham is an amazing photographer and driver, nothing was too much and his attention to detail to ensure he gets the perfect shot was truly admirable. I will definitely booking through ocean air in the future. Haroon

Such a cool experience and our tour guide, Amir was very knowledgeable! We learned so much from him. It was a very organized trip. It was a group trip but there was only one other couple with us so it felt like a private tour. 10/10 I recommend this to anyone traveling to Cairo!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ the visit to Alexandria was one of the best things we did on our vacation. Hala is a great person and a knowledgeable guide. She described the monuments and history of Alexandria to us in great detail. She also told us about the customs and traditions of Egyptian culture and we were fascinated by it. We will go back to Egypt and would love to do another trip with her. The costume care Aya was great. Thanks for everything.
