Excellent tour guides - This is a very good travel tour guide company. I booked through Viator for Giza Pyramid tour from Aexadria. Mirrett contacted me to see what I will do next few days. She helped to book two more tours for the next two days. Tour guide Dina arrived at exact time with a car and driver. We drove 220 km to Giza pyramid. We stopped once for bathroom break. Dina explained step by step history of Egypt going back to pherauns time. She was very knowledgeable has vast knowledge of all ancient archeological sties of Egypt. Next day my tour guide was Medhat (must be related to Mirrett Medhat. He was not only knowledgeable, very friendly as well. He made my tour very pleasant. At the end of the day, we had dinner cruse. The entertainment part of cruise was excellent. 3rd day Dina was my guide again. The driver Hany Milad is also very friendly. He is actually a middle school history teacher and drives tourists as part time. He also drove me to airport at midnight. Dina knew lots about the Alexandria Library, Citadel, museum. She knew history of all the art effects in the museum. I can't get any better guide then her. I wish I could stay longer to see more about Egypt.

An Incredible City Tour with a Wonderful and Friendly Guide - Our guide Wessam really took care of me and my mom during our tour of Alexandria. She was knowledgeable, informative, warm, and friendly! She made the entire experience fun and memorable for us as we saw the catacombs, the Citadel, and the mosque. We especially liked the personal and private aspect of the tour as we were able to absorb all the information Wessam was giving us about each place. There's a current misconception right now that Egypt is not safe to travel, but that's so far from the truth. We felt completely safe the entire time we were with Wessam. We would highly recommend this tour and Wessam as a guide!

A good adventure! - Noha Sameh, my tour guide was very knowledgeable about Alexandria. This kind of tour is unexpected for me. I imagined being with my friends, but since we booked separately, we were with different guides. I was surprised, disappointed and scared to be alone with a guide and driver for my safety. But Noha explained everything and nothing to worry about. The driver, Ahmed was courteous and a very safe driver. I commend this two for making my adventure better than expected.

Alexandria- a city layered in history - We had the most informative and interesting tour in our Egypt trip thanks to Mirette tours. The pick up was very punctual and the hospitality unmatched. Our guide Soha was a walking Encyclopedia and she made sure that we understood the intricacies of Alexandrian history . Will surely visit again. Would greatly recommend this tour for getting a complete overview of Alexandria in a single day

Trip to Alexandria Egypt 2021 - Our tour of Alexandria included the catacombs, Pompey's Pillar, the Citadel of Qaitbay and Saint Mark's Coptic Orthodox Cathedral. We stopped by briefly at the Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi Mosque, the Roman Amphitheatre and the Montaza Palace and Gardens (gardens were under renovation). Our tour guide Medhat was very nice and was knowledgeable of the places we went to. Shehta drove very well considering how the traffic and roads are in Alexandria. No issues with communication (via WhatsApp) with our guide before the scheduled tour. They even provided drinks (water and juices) and snacks for us and a special gift to our family. Will definitely use them again in the future if we're back in the Alexandria area.
