It was wonderful!
We had a great team taking us around Alexandra. Mohammed was kind, funny, and welcoming. He was also very informative. He made us feel safe as well. I would definitely do this again.

Our tour guide speaks English very well. He explained everything so clearly. His name is Walid. Sorry if I am wrong or forgot his name.

Absolut professioneller Guide (Mohamed) mit Master Abschluss in ägyptischer Geschichte. Viele interessante Hintergrund Informationen. Fahrer und Auto sehr gut. Wir hätten es nicht so gut erwartet. 💯

We had a great day except for lunch. Guide asked if we wanted a local lunch or frish. We all wanted local but didn't realizewhat that meant. We didn;t get a hot meal in this nice restaurant but rather what looked like a bigger tap raman with local ingredients. Saw it later on street for $1. Van was good, driver good and we liked our guide. Due to complications of one member who was half hour late and the time we spent (by request) buying $18 tuxedos (great quality) we had just under 7 hours of touring. We went to catacombs (wonderful), Qaitbay Fort and the Bibliotheca ok. The library will not allow you inside the reading rooms so all we saw was the room where the model is and old Alexandria pictures but no cameras allowed in that room. The visit to library should have been shorter as should the Qaitbay which should have just been 5 minutes. We stopped at the Pillar but did not go over there. We stopped unnecessarily at a papyrus store. We also went into the Coptic church. Here is my suggestion. Once at the van in the beginning go through the possibilities with your guide. Decide together what you will see. We never saw the Egyptian Museum or the Roman amphitheater. Let's talk about tuxedos. Across from the Coptic church were the many stores selling suits and tuxedos. The pricing was ridiculously low. Two of us bought tuxedos for $18usd. Great quality and includes pants. One friend needed the pants altered and that was done for FREE. The driver stopped by 2 hours later and picked up the tux. Perfect.

Der Guide Mohammed war super. Wusste sehr viel, überaus freundlich und tolles Englisch. Bloß das Auto mit dem wir rum gefahren sind, und dass sind wir logischerweise sehr viel, war echt grenzwertig. Hinten sehr eng und Gurte teilweise ohne Funktion. Ein kleines Auto, dass schön einige Jahre hinter sich hat. Wäre ja okay gewesen, wenn ich nicht das VIP Paket gebucht hätte. Aber das hatte nichts mit VIP zu tun.

Fantastic tour with Mohamed Salama. The places we saw and the information given by Mohamed was spot on. He and his driver were so accommodating and courteous. We chose to have lunch as part of our tour and we were taken to a restaurant that had a lovely view of the ocean and yummy food. Wonderful way to spend the day.

We had a lovely day with Waleed in Alexandria. Alexandria is a city rich in history and culture and Waleed has a wealth of knowledge about his city. In our day tour we were able to cover all the major sites. We were in Alexandria for 2 nights, but the 1st night was a wash because our flight arrived in Cairo in the afternoon and we ended up arriving in Alexandria in the evening. I recommend 2 full days in Alexandria. Our time in the library didn't allow us to go inside the reading area and our time in St. Mark's Cathedral was very brief. I now have an excuse to go back to Alexandria to spend more time at these sites and to visit my friend Waleed.

Karim our tour guide was excellent. He showed us many sides of Alexandria, besides the items on our list, like the different neighborhoods. His explanation of the Jewelry Museum and the Roman-Greco Museum were very understandable.

Very knowledgeable and engaging tour guide Mohamed. The Catacombs, Roman Theatre and the Bibliotheca were highlights. Booked the full day tour (9am pickup and 5pm return), but we were informed via WhatsApp the day before that our tour was changed to 8am pickup and 3pm return. Itinerary was changed without prior notice. Some places on the original agreed itinerary were not visited (Stanley Bridge and Montazah Palace Gardens). Tour did not leave the port until 845am as some guests were not aware of the change to the pickup time. A suggestion would be to include a visit inside the Qaitbay Castle to the itinerary. Transport was a minibus (seated 18). Tour information on TripAdvisor stated the transport would be a private car. We learnt that “car” is used to describe a minibus in Egypt. Lunch was at Branzino seafood restaurant. The fish was very good. The salad and dips were fresh. Vegetarian meal was not good (pasta with tomato sauce and chips). Communication at time of booking via email and WhatsApp was very good.
