A easy day trip to Alexandria

An well organised private tour, from pick-up at the hotel. As usual, Mohamed K. provided very good information about each sight and arranged a nice fish lunch with a view on the bay and fishing boats. While a pleasant day providing insightful information on Egypt’s Roman period, it is a long drive for a few ruins… Do it if you have time or, like us, are interested in everything 😀

Two days touring museums and sites, walking the old city was fascinating

Excellent experience thanks to my guide: Mohamed Kamel. Loved the library in particular, but the whole experience was great, made possible by my well informed, thoughtful guide. Thank you!

A Beautiful Day in Alexandria

From the drive out of Cairo to the sea breeze in Alexandria, the day was unforgettable. Mohammed guided us through ancient sites and hidden gems with great stories and care. It felt like exploring with a friend a perfect way to discover the city.

Disorganized Day with Mimo in Alexandria

I joined the Full Day Tour to Alexandria expecting a relaxing, educational trip but left feeling let down. Mohammed (Mimo) was our guide, and from the start things felt off. We were picked up late, which immediately set a bad tone. At each stop the Catacombs, the Library, the Citadel we barely had enough time to walk in before being hustled out. There was little chance to absorb what we were seeing; the guide seemed more interested in sticking to a tight schedule than in sharing stories or details that make these places meaningful. At one point, while standing in the Alexandria Library, someone asked about its architecture and importance, and Mohammed gave us vague, contradictory facts. It was frustrating, because you want those moments of real connection, but they never came. By mid-day, the discomfort set in. The van was hot, dusty, and the ride between sites dragged. I realized I’d paid for “a full day of exploration,” but spent too much of it parked, waiting, or moving between spots with nothing to enjoy. In short: good landmarks, but bad pacing, weak guidance, and poor overall value. If they’d slow down, train their guides more, and ensure you can absorb and appreciate each stop, this could be much better but as is, I wouldn’t recommend it.

10 out of 10

We spent 2 days with Khaleed in Giza and Alexandria and we enjoyed our time immensely. Khaleed was knowledgable and very passionate of his job and we felt his positive energy along the whole tour. He also gave us good recommendations for shops and restaurants which were very good values and qualifies. We would recommend his services.

Best of Alexandria with Abla

Abla Saif is a wonderful guide, and even better photographer. She explained everything extremely well and patiently answered all my questions. I really enjoyed my day in Alexandria with her. We had so much fun and took lots of amazing photos

Best of Alexandria in one day

The trip was excellent, I really enjoyed having the flexibility to stop and take any pictures I wanted. They also made some reels for uploading to social media. All and all it was great.
