Beautiful Alexandria, Wonderful Guides

Our guide Mahmoud Badr and driver Omar were excellent. Mahmoud had exceptional knowledge of Egypt and answered many questions throughout our tour. He was not pushy and let us do parts of the tour that we asked, and also let us remove parts that we did not want. Omar was a very skilled driver and we felt very comfortable. We highly recommend both of them on a tour to Alexandria!

A+++ day trip experience!!

Very enjoyable day trip! Sam (the guide) was very welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable, he even gave us tips for other parts of the country we mentioned we' be visiting later. He ensured we saw and experienced everything we wanted to see in Alexandria, gave detailed explanations, and answered any questions we had. We also felt safe at all times. We're happy to recommend Sam to others who want a complete Alexandria tour. Special mention to Omar (the driver), we felt comfortable with his driving throughout.

Very knowledgeable about all the sites and history presented in dramatic storytelling form made the visit come alive! Mahmoud has a deep love of his country and his family , his sharing and caring made this a memorable trip in our first time to Egypt. The driver Mahmoud also navigated crowded traffic with ease.

Very neat to see

I forgot the name of our tour guide but he was very friendly and knowledgeable. Our driver’s name was Omar I believe. We had lots of fun and enjoyed the tour. The Mediterranean Sea and Citadel was my favorite part.
