We highly recommend this tour with this team. We arrived a day early to Cairo to add this tour on the front end of our Trafalgar Best of Egypt trip. Our driver Ashraf was timely, kind, well conversational in English, and also answered all our questions to and from Alexandria. Our guide in Alexandria, Rasha, gave us a fantastic introduction to Egypt with her interesting descriptions and history of the sites we visited in her very clear, excellent English. She gave us all the time we wanted at each location, gave us choices along the way, answered our many questions, and was so very knowledgeable, kind, and pleasant to spend the day with. We highly recommend and would rebook with this team again ourselves for further exploration!
Your positive feedback is much appreciated. Thanks!

My brother and I had the best experience in Alexandria, and Heba, our tourist guide, was the person who made that experience more enjoyable and acknowledgable. She explained us everything in a easy and well-done way that we got a better understanding of how was the old life and culture and in Alexandria compared with the rest of Egypt. Heba was beyond our expectations and we're so grateful for having her as our guide.
Thanks so much for a valued feedback. We are happy you loved it. It was a pleasure having you.
We met Karim for the food tour in the late afternoon. We were looking for something unusual and found it. Karim knows the city center perfectly and makes you live a safe but authentic experience between the narrow streets of the market and street food with anecdotes ti history and local folklore.
Thanks for the valued feedback appreciated
From the moment we met Karim in Alexandria he made us smile and it seemed everyone in Alexandria knew and loved him. He spoke very good English and provided lots of information on the places we saw and answered all our questions. He gave us as much time as we needed and we felt very honoured to be escorted around Alexandria by him. This tour company included visits to all the important sites. Don’t use a company that ‘passes by’ sites, you will miss out on some fascinating places. Also a shout out for our driver from Giza to Alexandria and back. We felt safe with him and his English was good enough for him to tell us about the sites and countryside that we passed on the journey. We chose not to stop on the journey and it took just over two hours each way. One tip. We didn’t book the tour inclusive of entrance fees (on any day of our holiday) as our research showed that we could book entrance tickets cheaper online ourselves. We didn’t manage to get the tickets for Alexandria beforehand so Karim took us to a ticket machine at the first stop where he helped us buy all the tickets. It took moments and was so much cheaper than paying the tour company to organise the tickets.
Thanks a lot for your valued & detailed feedback. It was such a pleasure having you as our guests. Hope you loved your time in Egypt. Much appreciated!

Rasha was absolutely lovely. She showed us around Alexandria and explained everything really clearly. She never rushed us, gave us plenty of time to take photos, and also gave us space to enjoy the experience. I had my grandma with me, and she was incredibly patient and kind throughout the whole tour. It was a really good experience, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone visiting.
