Wonderful experience, skilled and friendly driver Mazen took us from hotel and swiftly got us to alexandria where we were met by our guide. Tarek had a wealth of knowledge, was a historian and archaeologist and took us to the Citadel, Mosque, catacombs, library and showed us everything. Really flexible around what we wanted, helping get us straight to sites in whatever way we wanted and amazing specialist knowledge. Everything was managed to make our time special and effortless. Really lucky and highly recommend.
We were so very fortunate to have Tarek as our Tour Guid e whilst we stayed in Alexander. He was excellent. He was so informative and took us to the best and most interesting sites. He also suggested great restaurants . His knowledge was amazing. His vehicle was very comfortable and clean and he was very punctual. He was so quick to drive back with my bag that I left in his car which was life-saving..
Tareq was a wonderful tour guide very knowledgeable honest courteous and obliging he took us on tours over two days nothing was a bother to him he took us to local areas to eat as well as places of interest - his car was very clean and modern- we have used many tour guides in many countries and he was by far the best .
Tarek was absolutely fantastic we had him for 2 day tours. His English was very clear to understand. His history knowledge was impeccable. I would 💯% recommend him for any tour. Nothing was issue and he gave us many places to visit and advice on what we could do in Alexandria. I can not fault him in at all. His car was very clean and comfortable to ride in. Thank you Tarek for your fabulous knowledge and tour. We had a great time.😊😊
Tarek was unbelievable. His knowledge of history was second to none and he showed us all the great sites in Alexandria. He was kind generous and very respectful. We enjoyed the day tour of Alexandria so much that we booked him again for the following day. I would highly recommend him. First class!
Excellent tour, well organized: - Good information on WhatsApp regarding pickup at our hotel. - Comfortable and clean car with Mahmoud behind the wheel picked us up on time. Offered pit stops along the way, as desired. Safe and relaxed driver. - Our excellent guide Tarek deserves a 10+. Never boring us with too many details, yet a deep source of knowledge when we asked for more. We had many good conversations about history, culture and religion. Wish we could have spent more time together! - Thanks to Mahmoud, we arrived back at our hotel in Cairo at dusk. We highly recommend this tour operator. Sidsel and Svein

Tarek was our tour guide and he was very prompt, knowledgeable, personable, and professional. We were with him for two days and he introduced us to various aspects and landmarks in Alexandria. His insight added so much to our experience and we would highly recommend him.
Tarek is a great tour guide. He responded to our wishes and even took us to a supermarket because we wanted to buy some souvenirs. Our hotel couldn't organize a transfer to the airport - no problem, Tarek could. Thank you so much for your time, it was great!
