It was a whistle stop tour our guide was excellent a long ride from Cairo but worth it visited the catacombs which was the highlight also the church and mosque lunch ok but would be better if given a choice as not everyone likes fish

We had an amazing day with Guide Waleed and driver Ahmet. Waleed’s knowledge of the city and history is amazing and he took his time to share stories and history. We learnt so much about the history of the city and was done at a pace we could enjoy. Would highly recommend Waleed as a guide and Ahmet as a patient and good driver. Thanks Richard and Len

I made the reservation for a guide in Spanish, only had English, they said that I would receive an audio guide at least to accompany, and nothing, not to mention that I paid the reservation with several entries and lunch included and at the time had nothing included I had to pay everything, terrible experience.

Uncomfortable car. An unannounced 40 minutes stop at a souvenir shop. A very good driver but unfortunately he first presses a couple to tip him when dropping them off. Then he first refused to drive us back to the pickup stop and wouldn’t even acknowledge that he picked us at that hotel. When my husband tipped him for the two of us (quite generously) he wanted the same amount for me! An unacceptable behavior after a quite expensive trip. Also the guide never showed us the roman amphitheater and only stopped outside the plank surrounding the Pompei’s pillar.

We went on the food tour in the evening of Alexandria . Waleed was great , showed us around Alexandria and incorporated classic foods around the town . Very reasonable prices and didn't push us to eat or drink too much - he really tailored the tour to our needs rather than just making us fit into a tour template Really recommend this to anyone visiting this amazing city
