Long wonderful day! - This was exactly what we expected and more! Our guide, Muhammed, is a PhD student studying Ancient Egyptian religious practices. This added a brilliant layer to his insight. Our group was fun! Food was delicious, and several of the stops were unexpectedly breathtaking. Well worth the long day!

Best guide ever - Alexandria completely won me over during this experience. Between the peaceful gardens, the impressive catacombs, and the beauty of the city itself, everything felt magical from start to finish. What made it even better was how quiet and uncrowded it was — it almost felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. A huge part of this experience was thanks to our guide, who was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and attentive. He adapted the visit to our interests, answered all our questions, and made the entire day feel very authentic and enjoyable. And the lunch… honestly unforgettable. Delicious food with an amazing panoramic view over Alexandria — one of the best moments of the trip. I left with such a strong connection to this city, and I already know I’ll come back one day. I can only recommend this experience to anyone visiting Egypt!

100% recommend 😍😍😍 - I had an incredible experience in Alexandria thanks to our amazing guide. From the beautiful gardens to the fascinating catacombs, librarie,church, every part of the visit felt special. It was not crowded at all, which made it even more enjoyable — it felt like a private tour, just my friend and me. Our guide really took the time to explain everything in detail and, most importantly, to listen to our needs and interests. She was so kind and funny😍😍That made the experience feel very personal and relaxed. The highlight for me was definitely the meal — it was absolutely exceptional, with a stunning view over Alexandria. I truly fell in love with this city; it has become one of my favorite places. I highly recommend this experience, and I’m already thinking about coming back!
