We had a wonderful day out at Alexandria and Eriny was an outstanding guide . Very patient and knowledgeable. We had 2 young kids along, very edgy and yet she managed to make everyone comfortable. She took us to all important places and suggested some great local food options. Would certainly recommend people to experience Alexandria with Eriny as your Guide.

This tour is perfect for anyone looking to see all of the important sites the city of Alexandria has to offer in one day. Mohamed was an amazing guide, he was very knowledgeable and was able to answer every question we had at every site we visited. We felt like we made a new friend in Mohamed by the end of the tour. I will be recommending this tour for friends and family who are interested in visiting this amazing city.

Had a wonderful time. Ramses tours/Ramasside Tours. Their online help was able to make a custom 2 day, over night tour to Alexandria. Our Driver Slam was punctual and kind. Our guide Mohamed, along with being great at the sites we visited was also kind enough to point out things along the city and it's history. We never felt rushed and were asked frequently if we wanted to stop for photos.

Rania our tour guide was the favourite part of our tour! She was knowledgeable, very good English and friendly. She recommended we do the catacombs and we're so pleased she did - they were a highlight. We couldn't recommend her more highly.

We had a lovely variety tour of Alexandria, from Old Town to New with Eriny from Rammaside Tours. We especially enjoyed the Catacombs, never saw any so extensive, the Roman Theater, seeing ruins and “The Villa of the Birds”-home so much like the town houses at Ephesus, and the Library of Alexander, including: antiquities, art, ancient manuscripts, and a room dedicated to Anwar Sadat. We opted for the Egyptian Lunch at a local restaurant; you would never be able to do that with a larger group. Check their list for all the places you will drive by and/or stop at. Eriny made each place come to life, providing informative stories without overloading your mind. She answered questions carefully. She did not lose her cool when the local security created a 45 minute delay in leaving the port area. As soon as the van was released, she was ready to start out tour, with our super driver who maneuvered through the thick traffic. If you have an extra day in Alexandria, or,like us, have already seen the usual tourist attractions, contact Rammaside, and ask for Eriny. You will not be sorry. We would have been happy to join her for another day of touring.
