Blijf de buitenkant van het Quaitbay-kasteel zien dat op dezelfde plaats werd gebouwd als de oude vuurtoren van Alexandrië, een van de zeven wereldwonderen. Een zeer spectaculair kasteel dat een geweldige fotostop is.

Paula was our tour guide. He was very participant centered. Throughout the entire tour he constantly “checked-in” on us and considered that we each had different goals for this tour. He was organized, adaptable, and extremely kind. His knowledge of the sites and enthusiasm for his job was amazing! The tour itself and the itinerary was outstanding.

A pretty solid tour of Alexandra. Ride was smooth with a rest stop. Visited almost all the top sights to see so if your not in Alexandra and have an extra day, this tour is perfect.

BOOK THIS NOW!! We journeyed from Alexandria to Cairo, Egypt with our excellent, caring, and above-and-beyond guide, Paula. Paula knows his Ancient Egyptian history and how to make it come alive for visitors. What’s most important, however, is that he went the extra mile to make a once-in-a-lifetime dream come true for us. After visiting the new, but not fully opened Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), we were saddened that the golden mask of King Tut had not yet arrived from the old Egyptian Museum at Cairo. Paula moved mountains to get us to Tut’s treasures after an incredible day at the Pyramids and the Sphinx!!! We could not be more grateful to be so well cared for and considered. Thank you, Paula!!!

BOOK. THIS. EXPERIENCE! Paula was our guide, and he completely spoiled us. From before the tour, the communication from the company was so clear & easy to understand. Paula was overly communicative, and made it so we never once questioned what the plan was or where to meet. When you book an excursion not through your cruise line, it can give some anxiety. Not with Paula-he took care of every little detail. Being in Alexandria for only two days, we knew we had to get to Cairo. The trip was smooth, and Paula gave us facts along the drive and always kept our comfort and safety top of mind. I was nervous about food in Egypt, as a girl with stomach problems, but Paula took us to only the best. I had incredible food with every meal, and never questioned if I was in good hands. We visited Cairo at a time when the main museum and its artifacts are in transition from moving them from one to another. My husband and I were sad after the museum did not include King Tut’s collection—as the new museum (GEM) does not have it open yet. We talked with Paula, and this man moved MOUNTAINS, truly, to get us to the old museum (Egyptian Museum of Cairo) as well. I never have felt so cared for, listened to, and valued by a guide. This was not at all about him being in charge and following a schedule, it was about him granting wishes off our bucket list, even if it meant way more logistics on his end. This experience was the definition of someone going above and beyond, and we are eternally grateful. Everything else along the way—the pyramids, Sphinx, museums, dinner cruises on the Nile, hotel qualify, safe & delicious food, an air conditioned bus with comfortable seating, it was flawless. This is a company that works to show you the beauty of Egypt, not to give you a set tourist-trap itinerary. Paula could not have cared for us better than he did, and we left feeling like we got to experience everything we could have ever dreamed of.

Today was a special day at Alexandria. We began the journey with a two hours car ride from Cairo where we admire the landscape. Then we go to the Cathacombs where we discovered a mixture of sometimes Egyptian and especially Greek-Roman mythology. Then we spent a special time at the Alexandrina Bibliotheca before a special lunch in a local restaurant where we discovered a special taste of Alexandrian food. Finally we went to the Qaitbay Citadel. Our guide Ahmed is a warmful person. Even if it was not easy with the trafic jam and we were afraid that we wouldn’t have enough time to visit, he spent the time we needed at the Citadel which was appreciated.

My husband and I had a free afternoon in Alexandria. Frankly we were a bit overwhelmed by the traffic, the crowds and mostly Arabic-only signage. Enter Waleem and we were completely put at ease. His Alexandria at Night Tour helped us to wrap our heads around Alexandria’s 3000+ year history. He focused on the city’s unique religious differences and cultural unity by spot lighting churches, mosques and urban moments we never would have found on our own. And just when we got peckish he took us to a fresh fish restaurant with a view exactly like (because it was the same view) the one Alexander the Great saw when he first found a sleepy fishing village that he would transform into the greatest city in the ancient world! Waleem’s tour was worth every cent and we will be replaying our evening long after we return home!

The tour definitely exceded our expectations. It was great and Mohamed our tour guide is very knowlegeable about egyptian, ronan and greek history, he also made the tour fun. Kudos to the driver as well. Tour was worth it, only need to be aware the meeting point is outside the main gate of the Port of Alexandria - 3 minute walk. Definitely recomend Mohamed to be your guide. Thanks for everything!!
