Exciting and diverse excursion - My excursion in Alexandria was highly enjoyable. I did not feel like I was travelling on my own as my guide, Naelah, is highly personable. She took me to all the important highlights of a marvelously, busy city. Our driver negotiated the traffic so that we comfortably saw everything expected. Naelah was highly credentialed in Archeology and history and was able to give me insights beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend your tour company and would look forward to future excursions when I travel to Egypt in future.

Great full day tour to hit the highlights! - John (guide) and our driver were both fantastic. I booked the tour and was able to pick the 4 sites I wanted to see (the library is a MUST) but we were able to stop by a couple of other sites for a few minutes as well so I saw almost everything on the list in my full day tour! The guide’s English is impeccable and his knowledge and love for Alexandria is vast.

زيارة إلى الإسكندرية مع دليل من الشركة *Translation:* A visit to Alexandria with a guide from the company. - A very enjoyable tour in Alexandria, visiting four important sites: the Qaitbay Citadel, Pompey’s Pillar, and the Roman Theatre. There are many other wonderful places to visit in Alexandria. I love Alexandria and I really appreciate this company. I highly recommend everyone to visit Egypt's famous tourist attractions with this company — they truly deserve all the support and a great review.

Amazing day - We had great , highly organized and perfect tour . This Company is so communicative and rapidly replying for our messages . One of the company's operator contacted us before the tour by 24 hours confirming everything for us the pick up time and our guide name . They don't send this confirmation only , they also contacted us at the tour's day at 10 am which is our pick up time asking us if we are now with our guide and confirming that everything is okay with us which is a big advantage I have only found in them lately . After that , Our guide is so knowledgeable . She is expert in Alexandria History . One another advantage in this tour is that We have the option to choose four spots from the nine ones in the itinerary which is so nice that we can choose any 4 spots on our own . After discussing with our decent guide , we have chosen to visit Alexandria Library , Fort Qaitbay , St.Mark Cathedral and the Catacombs. These 4 spots are really amazing . Our guide is very Excellent , she explains every single detail about these sites. We asked so many questions and she answered all of them perfectly . She is so funny , helpful and passionate for her job . She let us take our time in every spot as we want . Lastly , If you like to have great day in Alexandria , you should't miss booking this perfect highly organized tour with this super excellent communicative company !!!

The Lighthouse, National Museum, Catacombs, Roman ruins and Diocletians column are not to be missed. - The tour of six of the ten sites were professional and well done but our tour stopped before Matanza Complex and the Royal Jewelry Museum. Our guide substituted a short bay boat ride we paid for and Bibliotheteca was closed and another site were not interested in. We highly recommend the Greco Roman museum which we saw on our own as Royal Jewelry Museum and Mantaza complex. Recommend only if they visit more sites and fill the allotted time.

Disaster - I had an extremely disappointing experience on the recent tour in Alexandria Egypt, my tour guide Suzanne was unprofessional, disorganized, and unprepared, which made entire day frustrating and unpleasant. Susanna was late and difficult to locate. She did not hold a sign with my name as promised after waiting and calling the company several time I finally spotted her by chance no acknowledgment or apology for the delay. The issue continue through the day.Then we waited another 10 minutes for driver to arrive ,itinerary was scheduled to visit nine different places Suzanne said she will do only 4 location. First, we went Alexandria national Museum. 10 minutes after the tour she said we’re having a break. I told her we would like to continue the tour, but she didn’t listen she left us alone ,at the Coptic orthodox Church. She seems unaware that is was close for the day so we walk unnecessary and then waited again for transportation. Lunch was even more concerning the restaurant she chose was filthy ,awful awful place and she wanted us to pay her instead of restaurant when I refuse to eat their she became visible irritated .then we went Montezah Garden. We paid extra $10 per person tickets include royal train, Royal green house and soft drink, beach club, which she did not take us greenhouse or beach house only we went around with royal train we took photos and we left were there only 10 minutes. At the citadel of Qaitbay we were again rushed. We paid admission fee, but we didn’t go inside only outside five minutes for selfie. This was one of the worse guided tour I experience ,tour guide Susanna was late unintended and dishonest. We missed several key attraction and the entire tour felt an organized and deceptive. my friend understand Arabic, and overheard several concerning and unprofessional remarks from her that only reinforce our mistrust I would strongly advise others to avoid booking this tour company or working with this tour guide.
