Alexandria Tour from Boston, USA - We had the absolute pleasure of having Aasma as our tour guide for a day in Alexandria. She is truly a breath of fresh air and a true embodiment of Egyptian hospitality. Without a doubt, one of the best tour guides we have had. Aasma goes above and beyond to make sure everyone’s needs and preferences are met, and she’s incredibly knowledgeable about Egyptian history. Her excellent English, warm personality, sense of humor, and genuine care for her guests make the experience unforgettable. I’ve not only had an amazing tour — I’ve also made a friend for life- Aasma is truly one of the kindest and most genuine people I’ve met — book with her for all of your Egypt tour needs.

Don't skip this tour - I can't say enough about Muhammed....we booked another tour because we liked him so much. He is not only knowledgeable, but passionate about the history behind the places you visit. My father is getting older and Muhammed did anything needed to help make his day easier! He will answer any questions you have, is a great photographer, and will give you memories to last a lifetime! We will never forget him!!!!! Alexandria was a highlight of our trip with this tour!

A day trip to Alexandria - I highly recommend this day tour from Cairo. Mohammed is a friendly, knowledgeable guide who also helps with photos. We explored the Catacombs, Alexandria Library, and Citadel, each with its own unique history and charm.

Enjoyable day in Alexandria - Mo was an excellent tour guide and gracious host. From the start, he was friendly and engaging during our road trip to Alexandria. We stopped for coffee along the way and once we arrived, I never felt pressured to hurry at an attraction and always felt comfortable asking questions and getting complete responses. Lunch was delicious and the ride to and from Alexandria went faster than expected and filled with friendly conversation. Also, shout out to our driver, Mustapha, who expertly navigated our journey in sometimes heavy and chaotic traffic.

Amazing Alexandria - The Alexandria trip was a beautiful experience. I was picked early in my hotel as we venture to our travel. The car was cool, comfy and has good music. I asked for a stop in Starbucks which he happily obliged. Mohamed was very skilled in discussing history of our first stop which is the Catacombs. Amazing place -- architecture and history wise. We got some good photos and he explained the details of the art inside. The fortress was beautiful inside and out. We got amazing shots here and we didnt have to queue in this area. It is good to know the history behind the structure. Afterwards we went to Alexandria Library. Aside from the books around they have a good museum that showcased modern art and past tribute to their late president. We had a great lunch by the mediterranean sea. The view from the restaurant was amazing. Got some good pics around as well. It was a beautiful trip indeed, I was then accompanied back to my hotel. Shukran!

Hermosa Alejandría - The experience was very fun and interesting, the car is very comfortable, it is a very careful driver and the guide is a professional photographer, so he helped us to have beautiful souvenir photos. As an Ecuadorian I was able to taste new flavors in seafood, the soup was very rich.
