Great trip to Alexandria! - This was a really fun trip with beautiful sights. The guide and driver were both very flexible. We were not rushed. The drive to and from Alexandria was comfortable and we had a short break halfway. We decided to do an optional restaurant stop on the coast which was nice. We highly recommend this tour and both our driver Mohammed and our guide Ahmed.

Couldn't recommend more! - A jam-packed wholesome day with two amazing tour operators who you'd be very lucky to be accompanied with- Taher and Susan. They took very good care of us and ensured we got the best views and pictures during the day. Big shout out to the duo for taking extreme aid with my sister who got a nasty bite from a mosquito and left her hand completely swollen- Taher and Susan took us to a pharmacy to ensure she was treated right and she is currently feeling much better with minor swelling. You are in safe hands with Susan and Taher and I'm happy to call them very good friends of mine after an amazing day trip to Alexandria with them!

Alexandria - enjoy the Greco Roman influence and the beauty of the Mediterranean - Alexandria was amazing - very different history and architecture compared to Cairo, Giza etc. Tamer, our driver, was excellent - great company. Dr Susan (PhD) was much more than we expected - here knowledge of Egyptian history, the sites, the political history etc was fabulous and she is so well connected to the people on the entire circuit. Tamer and Dr Susan were fantastic company. This tour added a new and different perspective to our Egypt trip.

Very pleasurable and rewarding experience to Alexandria - An excellent journey from Cairo to Alexandria on a superb motorway through the agricultural countryside. Mohammed, our guide, was very knowledgeable about all the question we asked as well as his running commentary on all of the sites we saw. Although the traffic was very hectic we felt very safe with our superb and safe driver. I can easily recommend this tour, our guide and driver. 10 out of 10 for the day

Texans go to Alexandria - Hussine was a fantastic driver and Ehab was an extremely knowledgeable and personable tour guide. He accommodated out every request and endeavored to make sure we had as enjoyable and stress free of an experience as possible. He helped our claustrophobic member get through the catacombs and narrow corridors of the Qaitbay citadel. We also got to see rare Egyptian rain which I’m going to directly attribute to Ehab & Hussine. The library was extremely cool and I highly recommend spending extra time going through the museum portion instead of the library. Ehab also took many pictures of our group and sent them to me. Loved our time with these guys!

Alexandria Day Trip - Relaxing trip away from the day to day hustle of Cairo. Hats off to our driver Tamer who was very educational in his explanation of our journey. Accurate on his arrival time to our hotel to Alexandria and back to the hotel down to the minute. Incredible person and has made our stay in Cairo successful from the moment he picked us up at the airport and made wonderfully suggestion. Very highly trusted and careful driver. Never felt uncomfortable with his driving experience!
