What an experience with forever Egypt Tours in Alexandria - Our day trip to Alexandria with Forever Egypt Tours was absolutely outstanding and one of the highlights of our time in Egypt. From the early pickup to the return in the evening, everything was perfectly organized. Waleed, our guide and tour operator, was exceptional — professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing Alexandria’s unique history and Mediterranean charm. Waleed brought the city to life as we explored the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, the Citadel of Qaitbay, and the Library of Alexandria. His explanations were clear and engaging, and he always took the time to answer questions while keeping the day relaxed and well-paced. What truly set this tour apart was the personal attention. Waleed tailored the experience to our interests, managed the timing expertly to avoid crowds, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the day. We never felt rushed, yet we saw and learned so much. Forever Egypt Tours delivers exceptional service and reliability. If you are planning a visit to Alexandria and want a guide who is professional, trustworthy, and deeply knowledgeable, Waleed and Forever Egypt Tours are the best choice. Highly recommended.

An amazing tirp to Alexandria from Cairo with forever Egypt tours - We had an incredible day in Alexandria with Forget Egypt Tours, and it was easily one of the highlights of our trip to Egypt. Our guide and tour operator, Waleed, was outstanding from start to finish. His deep knowledge of Alexandria’s history—from its Greco-Roman roots to its Islamic and modern heritage—made every stop meaningful and engaging. He explained everything clearly and with passion, bringing the city’s unique character to life. The tour was perfectly paced and very well organized. We visited the key landmarks while also enjoying the atmosphere of the city without feeling rushed. Waleed was attentive, flexible, and always focused on our comfort, adjusting the itinerary to match our interests and energy level. Transportation was comfortable, timing was seamless, and communication was excellent throughout the day. The entire experience felt private, personal, and thoughtfully designed rather than like a typical tourist tour. If you are visiting Alexandria and want a professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely enjoyable experience, I highly recommend Forget Egypt Tours—and especially Waleed. This was a truly memorable way to discover one of Egypt’s most beautiful cities, and we would gladly book with them again.

A wonderful day in Alexandria - We had a wonderful day in Alexandria with Marwa as our guide. She guided us beautifully through all the major attractions, including the Catacombs and the Roman Colosseum, spending a generous and unhurried amount of time at each site. Her knowledge is truly exceptional — she has a PhD in archaeology, and it really showed in the depth and clarity of her explanations. We were like curious students, constantly asking questions, and she patiently answered every single one with enthusiasm and insight. She also shared personal stories and local perspectives, which made the experience feel very warm and human. It never felt like a formal tour — more like exploring the city with a knowledgeable friend. Marwa also gave us excellent recommendations and took us to a fantastic restaurant for lunch. To top it all off, we ended the day at a dessert shop where we enjoyed kunafa and harissa. It was a truly lovely day, and we will cherish our time in Alexandria for a very long time. We highly recommend Marwa to anyone visiting the city.

Marwa is the best guide - Amazing experience with Marwa. Did a food tour.. Visited the Citadel, the library and walked through the local markets and downtown. Marwa is the kindest, most humble human being I have ever met. Thank you again Waleed.

Best Guide in Alexandria - Day trip from Cairo. Roundtrip went very smoothly. in Alexandria, we had the pleasure of meeting Marwa, who's the best guide. She was super attentive and always accommodating my 85yr old grandmother. Her knowledge of the city and background as an archeologist made the tour very interesting. Would definitely come back with her.
