Super Excellent - Rasha was absolutely lovely. She showed us around Alexandria and explained everything really clearly. She never rushed us, gave us plenty of time to take photos, and also gave us space to enjoy the experience. I had my grandma with me, and she was incredibly patient and kind throughout the whole tour. It was a really good experience, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone visiting.

KiN’G in Alex. - I had a great tour thanks to Heba’s vast knowledge and experience. She knows Alexandria’s history quite well and has clearly had a lot of experience with guiding visitors. For me personally, she was more than just a guide: she showed genuine humanity as I needed special help. I wholeheartedly recommend Heba.

Variety in so many ways - Karim’s food tour in Alexandria is less a tour and more a joyful, delicious life event. I arrived hungry and curious; I left happy, overfed, and questioning why I don’t schedule all my meals with Karim. He somehow knows everyone—chefs, bakers, grill masters, probably the fish themselves. Each stop was better than the last, which felt scientifically impossible until it kept happening. The food? Ridiculously good. The portions? Generous. The pace? Perfectly calibrated between “one more bite” and “I may need to roll to the next stop.” Karim is funny, warm, and explains food with the passion of a poet and the honesty of a true Alexandrian. You don’t just eat—you understand why this city tastes the way it does. If you’re in Alexandria and skip Karim’s tour, that’s fine—but don’t pretend you experienced the city. You just walked past it while it was busy being delicious.

Perfect guide for Alexandria - Rasha was my guide for two days in Alexandria and Rosetta and she did an amazing job introducing me to many different layers of these places and their rich history. As a solo female traveller I couldn’t have wished for a better guide. On the second day I had a privilege of being also accompanied by Rasha’s husband Karim who is also a guide and having both of them as guides really elevated the experience because of their different but complimentary styles. It was a real privilege meeting both Rasha and her husband Karim who were the perfect guides for my short stay in Alexandria. I couldn’t re commend highly enough both of them! Thank you Rasha for introducing me to this magical city and a special thanks to Karim for the laughter and great time!

Excellent Alexandria Food Tour - We really enjoyed our “Food Tour” in Alexandria with Karim. We felt that we saw and experienced the “real” Alexandria. Karim took us to restaurants where locals eat- we were the only tourists there. All the food we tasted was delicious. Karim also took us to markets where the locals shop, unlike the tourist markets that we had visited in Cairo. Super-interesting. After about 3 hours, Karim was not done- but we were exhausted from earlier touring and left tired but very happy with our food tour of Alexandria.

Seeing and tasting hidden Alexandria - I walked with Karim through the city, stopping at lots of places. I’d asked for a food tour, which we had, but there also really good storytelling of the places that we passed through. The food stops were many and varied, sweet then savoury, then sweet and so. A really enjoyable way to spend some quality time in Beautiful Alexandria.

A great day around Alexandria - Just what we wanted and needed. A day around Alexandria with guides who knew the places and whose company we enjoyed. The fort, the Coptic cathedral, the catacombs, the Roman Theatre, the library. Driven around in air conditioned comfort. And a chance to have a lunch like the locals with someone who knew where to go and what to order. Rasha and Kareem were excellent guides and companions. Highly recommended.
