Excellent Tour to Alexandria! We had an amazing day exploring Alexandria! Our driver, Khalid, was excellent—professional, punctual, and made the ride very comfortable. Our tour guide, Ahmed, was outstanding—extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the city's rich history. He brought every site to life with fascinating insights. One of the highlights was lunch at the Alexandria port, where we enjoyed the freshest fish imaginable. It was absolutely delicious and the perfect way to experience the local flavor. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Egypt!

The thing I liked the most was the citadel Samira Adel (the guide) and Ahmed Ashor (the driver) are the best they were very friendly and nice 👌🏻

The tour to Alexandria from Cairo was amazing. Our driver arrived on time and drove us to the meeting point in Giza where we met our driver for the trip to Alexandria. The car was very spacious, clean and comfortable. There was only one more person in the tour with us, which felt like a private one. Our driver Waleed was excellent, friendly and polite. When we arrived in Alexandria we met our tour guide Sherihan on our first stop at the Catacombs. Sherihan was very knowledgeable, polite and she was explaining everything to us about the sights we visited and also gave us free time for ourselves in each place to look around and take pictures. The Fish Market restaurant we went for lunch was also amazing. This tour is one of our highlights from our trip to Egypt for sure. Thank you Sherihan and Waleed.
