Very good.... thanks - Special thanks to the tour guide today, I was treated to Turkish coffee, which was very good! Although the driver can't speak English, he can basically communicate with the translation software... At least I am back to hotel safely... Everything is good and thanks all

Very nice experience - Our driver Ahmed essam was very nice. He drove very carefully and had lots of attention towards us: bottled water, juice and cakes. Upon our arrival in Alexandria we joined our Francophone guide Ayma. We had a great day with him. She speaks French very well and gave us lots of explanations of the different sites visited. She provided us with a lot of information about the lives of the inhabitants. She is very smiling and it is very nice. A very nice day very well organized.

Cairo - Alexandria! Great trip - Picked up by Hussein at our hotel in Cairo and driven to Alexandria, where we met Alaa who took us round the Catacombs, then onto the Biblioteca and finally onto the old Lighthouse, after this we were driven back to Cairo, everything was very smooth and for Brits in northern Egypt this would be one jI recommend.

Alexandria Egypt, a must see tour! - I would like to share my experience of an incredible excursion in Alexandria, Egypt, where the Mediterranean Sea meets history. Our tour was expertly organized by Muhammad, who is hands down the best tour guide I've ever encountered. He skillfully arranged our transportation, guided us through stunning sites, and provided a delicious lunch along with delightful surprises throughout the day. Our guide, Eslam, was a treasure trove of knowledge; I later learned he is a teacher, which made the experience even more enriching. I came away feeling truly educated after exploring the Roman theater and the fascinating museums. We took a refreshing break to enjoy a fantastic seafood lunch, which was the perfect way to recharge. From beginning to end, this tour has been one of the finest I've ever experienced. The entire team deserves a perfect score of 10 out of 10. If you're thinking about visiting Egypt, I highly recommend booking your adventure through Egypt Travel & Tours. You won't regret it!

AMAZING DAY TRIP TO ALEXANDRIA! 🤩 - Our morning started early today. We had a 7am pickup by our driver, Ahmeed, to the coastal city of Alexandria, bordering the Mediterranean Sea. Pickup was quite the experience. Our main tour guide, Mohamed, organized everything perfectly for us! The drive to Alexandria was about 2.5 hours. Before we got on the highway, Ahmeed stopped at a gas station to fill up and my mom and I went to grab breakfast at the Dunkin Donuts next door. Ahmeed was very passionate and accommodating šŸ™šŸ¾ Once in Alexandria, we picked up our local tour guide for the day, Eslam. It was a fascinating day of exploring historic Grecian/Roman/Alexandrian ruins. ļæ¼He took us to the Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa, The Ancient Roman Theater, and The Library of Alexandria. Along the way, we stopped for a very tasty seafood lunch in a beachfront restaurant. Later in the day, Eslam also made a pit stop to introduce us to another traditional Alexandrian snack, lamb liver. At first, we were skeptical because, liver šŸ™„, but it was so yummy! And of course, mom in I with our big energy and personalities had all the staff in there dancing. Even our guide, Eslam and driver, Ahmeed, came out of their shells to dance a little! 🄰 Another amazing day in Egypt! No complaints and thank you Mohamed, Eslam, and Ahmeed for a perfect day! šŸ™ŒšŸ¾ #GloryToGod #bucketlist #motherdaughtertrip

A week in Cairo - very professional support with a careful and calm driver, an interesting and very friendly guide speaking perfect French! These are ideal conditions for discovering the treasures of Cairo, Saqqara and Dahshur. Without forgetting a getaway to Alexandria in excellent conditions as well. I recommend without hesitation

Very good driver and very nice person. Recommendation +++++ - Mohamed is an excellent guide and driver. Very friendly, he took me everywhere, he bent over backwards for me. we drove around the city together to discover the old neighborhoods and the architecture, we bought lemons and kumkats on a street corner, in short, these walks together were incredibly charming. With humor, courtesy, good addresses Migamed made our visit a real pleasure. We will be happy to see him again for our next visit if we have that chance!

The most personable and complete tour I have ever experienced. - Mohammed, the person who coordinates everything, will contact you before the trip to see if there is anything he and his team can do for you. That means a lot Confidence in a successful trip in advance. The driver, Nour, is super nice and knowledgeable. Asks when you want to have a break in the drive to Alexandria and adheres to all regulations (speed and safety). Perfect host and always ready if transport is needed. The guide, Islaam, is well known in Alexandria, is greeted by many, knows a lot of background information, speaks perfect English and gives you as a guest plenty of space to visit the sights. He continuously checks whether you want to see something else or whether everything is to your liking. At the end of the day you will realize that Nour and Islaam have shown you all the most important sights of Alexandria. Super friendly, incredibly customer friendly and do everything possible to make you happy. Top experience.
