The Best Tour Guide We Have Ever Had

We've had the pleasure of using Sam as our tour guide in Egypt twice, first in 2019 and most recently this year. Our son, who is autistic but high-functioning and very active, was only six years old during our first trip and extremely hyperactive. Sam's patience, kindness, and understanding were nothing short of extraordinary. He held our son's hand throughout the tour, making the experience comfortable and enjoyable for everyone. Sam isn't just a knowledgeable guide with a deep understanding of history—he’s also a family man who truly cares. We used Sam for multiple days during both of our visits, and he went above and beyond by managing not only the tours but also handling car rentals and other necessities. As a family that has visited over sixty countries with our boys, we can confidently say Sam is by far the best guide we've ever had. He has a unique ability to make tours come alive, with incredible patience for children and a gift for making every detail fascinating. If I could clone him to be a worldwide tour guide, I absolutely would. I highly recommend Sam to anyone planning a trip to Egypt—you won’t find a better guide

Rough Start but Worth It

There was a mix up between Viator and subsidiary company responsible for the tour. Subsidiary had no record of my voucher and had to wait two hour for pickup at my hotel. Grueling trio to Alexandria, not the driver, but the 3 hours in the sedan. Once there Sam, the tour guide, was outstanding with his knowledge of Alexandria and is skill at taking photos of us! Such at The Fish Market was delicious and scenic.

Operator response

Thank you for your honest feedback. I sincerely apologize for the mix-up with the voucher and the delay at pickup—it’s never our intention to cause inconvenience to our guests. I appreciate your patience during the wait and the long drive to Alexandria. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the tour itself, especially exploring Alexandria and the fish market, and that I could assist in making the experience memorable for you. Your feedback is important, and we will work with our partners to ensure smoother coordination in the future. Thank you again for choosing us, and I hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a flawless experience next time. Warm regards, Sam

Long day but worth it!

A long but good day trip. Definitely be ready for a long car ride - you will only spend about 5 hours in Alexandria but if you can't stay overnight this is a great option. Make sure you hear from the company to confirm your booking, I had a two hour delay in departure because of miscommunication. Sam is a very friendly and knowledgeable guide (and a great photographer - let him take your phone and you will get some excellent photos!) - he had options for lunch and knew great coffee shops too :)

Great tour from Cairo!!

This was a great tour from Cairo to Alexandria. Our driver Amir was excellent and hands down the best in the business. Our Egyptologist Mariam was very knowledgeable and made sure that we got the best experience by explaining and pointing out details that would have otherwise been lost in a large tour group. We were able to see all of Alexandria without being rushed around, which tends to happen with larger groups. We topped off the day with an excellent lunch at a restaurant with a gorgeous view overlooking the water. Your trip will be amazing, especially with Amir & Mariam. Highly recommend!!

First of all and on behalf of all Nobles of Egypt employers I would like to thank you so much for your wonderful review and thank you for visiting Egypt and we wish to see you again to explore the rest of Egypt.

Day trip to Alexandria

We had Sam as our guide who was fabulous. Overall a great tour of Alexandria in which we really enjoyed our lunch at a great Mediterranean restaurant. We also appreciated Sam being able to accommodate our wish to play at the beach for a bit as it made the tour very relaxing.

Great day with Sam in Alexandria

The drive from Cairo was full of information about Egypt and Alexandria. Sam is an Egyptologist which means he holds a degree in Egyptian history. Believe me, his knowledge is second to none, his english is perfect and you will not find a better guide. The tour was organized with stops at the historical sites of Alexandria. We had lunch at the Fish Market, so so good!! Followed that with stops at the Alexandria Library and Stanley Bridge. It’s a full day tour that really provides some insight into the rome Alexandria played in the history of Egypt. Definitely worthy of your time and money!!!

Operator response

First of all thank you very much for your kind words, secondly your tour was very precious to me of course after spending five months without any tour and then your tour shown up like amazing sunrise after a long period of darkness 🙏 so thanks a million for visiting Egypt 💐 hopefully we will meet again, my best regards, Sam

Best way to explore Egypt

We weren't sure if we were going to be able to take any day trips while in Egypt due to Covid-19. Luckily we were able to book trips with Sam, an Egyptologist. He is extremely knowledgeable about the history of Egypt. He taught us so much about the rich history and culture of Egypt during our tours. He is also a master at photography. He took amazing photos of us which we will treasure for years to come. He knows all the best places to go and helpful tips to make your trip to Egypt an amazing experience. If we ever have the pleasure of coming back to Egypt, I will definitely take more tours with him. This has been by far one of our best vacations ever. I highly recommend these tours. It's the best way to explore Egypt.

Operator response

First of all, I would like to thank you so much for visiting Egypt and be one of the early travelers who take the chance to have the pyramids and the different site seeing as a private open just like the VIP visits for the kings and the presidents, I did enjoy it even more than what you think and I felt honored to be one of the first tour guides who had the chance to be back to what they love the most tour guiding. thanks again for visiting Egypt and I hope to see you again soon in Egypt, my best regards Sam
