it was a really wonderful experience! our guide Mohammed was fantastic: nice, friendly and with such knowledge and passion to make the visits live fully. in the end it was almost like being accompanied by a friend more than a guide. the day, despite all the visits, flew by without us realizing it. if I could give it 6 stars, I would:)

Mohammed was a fantastic guide! He can read hieroglyphics which is incredible and so impressive, he read some for us. He was very knowledgeable, kind and patient. Would definitely recommend this tour, so much was shown to us, a jam packed day!

We enjoyed the Wildlife Preserve and Takhini Hot Spring tour. They explained each facility in a funny way and I am very happy with them. (We wanted guidance in Japanese, but we could not adjust it, so the guidance was in English.) At the time of application, I knew there was a possibility that I would not get what I wanted, so I accepted. We didn't speak well, but it turned out to be a very good opportunity because Gait and the members were friendly.)

We had a great time on this tour. Our tour guide, Norhan was amazing. She was attentive, knowledgeable and great company. She even gave us great tips for the rest of our journey in other parts of egypt. I absolutely recommend her. Our driver Mahmoud was also an extremely sweet and kind guy. We had a great day!

We had about 6 stops in Alexandria after a 2.5 hr drive from Cairo AP area. We have been in Egypt for 2 weeks, and unfortunately the Alexandria sites seemed a bit anti climatic after what we had seen over the past 2 weeks. It was no fault of the guide!The library was closed for a holiday, so that was dissappointing.

Day started off punctually with pick up at 6:30 am for us and our fellow travelers. Sadly our trip got delayed 2,5 hours because traffic was stopped by the police due to fog on the desert road to Alexandria. Eventually the road was cleared and we arrived safely to Alexandria around 13:30. The driver was very responsible and we felt safe on the road. We even had a quick midway stop for buying snacks and going to the bathroom. Once in the city, our guide Mohammed, was so nice and knowledgeable! Even though we started the tour late he managed to time everything so we could see everything listed on the itinerary (see pictures). In order to do so, our lunch turned out to be dinner at a local restaurant with harbor view. I am vegan and I really appreciate that Mo arranged for a vegan option for me (steamed vegetables, pasta, french fries and Egyptian bread with multiple spreads like hummus, tahini). Alexandria is so beautiful and full of history! Definitely worth doing and booking this day trip! -Brisa Torres (Jan 2026)

Incredible day in Alexandria ! The guide Mohammed was really available and well prepared! He explains to us different stories and curiosities, he was happy to answer to any questions! He never rushed us and even during the shopping, he didn't push to buy anything (sometimes it can happen, but not at all with him) Very suggested! We really enjoyed it ☺️

We booked a “Top VIP” tour. Couldn’t have been further from reality. Tour was rushed, vehicle was dirty, spent an additional 1hr in traffic collecting other guests. Tour was meant to include lunch (after a 6.30am start) and by 3pm we had still not eaten! Not recommended!! The tour guide rushed us through the historical sites (that required a ticket) and was then happy to take extra time in a curio shop (when these exist all over Egypt including the airport). Disappointing!

We recently joined a full-day trip from Cairo to Alexandria and found it to be very well organized and enjoyable. The guide was knowledgeable, clear, and attentive, providing insightful context at each stop, including the Library of Alexandria, the Catacombs, St. Mark’s Church, and several other sites that gave a well-rounded impression of the city’s history and character. The experience was complemented by an excellent lunch with local food. Overall, this was a rewarding day trip that I would recommend.
