A execellent guide with good local knowledge and good ice cream - I am a solo female traveller and day trips like these are the best option. My guide was knowledgeable and considerate. I have a slight mobility problem after a knee replacement and he made sure that I was ok to walk up and down the stairs at the catacombs and the Citadel.
He also knows the best place to find the best ice cream in Alexandria

Excellent tour - We had an amazing time with our driver Ahmed and our lady guide who explained everything so well. She was friendly and attentive to our needs. The sites were very nice to visit, especially if it is your first time. The food at the restaurant was delicious.

Good tour for most of the day. - Thanks for the nice tour today to Alexander with our driver Abad Allahismail and guide Samira Adel. They were both very professional and courteous. We had a good time. They are both an asset to your company. Be aware that almost everywhere you go unexpectedly you will be having to tipp everyone ie toilets or at the museum and you require a box (which a lady has on hand) to climb higher up you will have to tip. So bring a lot of spare change with.

Ridiculous private tour with the driver and the tour guide - The driver spoke on the phone all the way from Cairo to Alexandria and from Alexandria to Cairo.
The tour guide took us to the fish restaurant even though she knew we are vegetarians. The price is ridiculous, same price with the fish plate.
This guide didn't give us enough time to visit. she forced us to finish the tour as soon as possible.
we had a very bad experience with this private tour.
