The tour was very impressive and the guide Eternity was brilliant with very interesting explanations also on the context, not only describing historical facts. Congratulations.

Soha made us feel comfortable inspite of a 5 your morning delay to reach Alexandria and ensured we covered all the landmarks. She was patient to answer our questions and very witty. The sea food options were also a great part of the tour. We immensely enjoyed and would strongly recommend.

From Cairo: Historical Alexandria Shared Day Tour with Lunch Sara was an outstanding guide in Alexandria — very informative, passionate, and friendly. She took excellent care of us throughout what felt like a truly private experience. The lunch was superb: delicious food in a beautiful setting right in front of the ocean. We were very happy to have had the opportunity to meet Sara and our driver (unfortunately, I forgot his name). They even took extra time to show us the inside of the Library of Alexandria, which was not originally included in the tour — a gesture we truly appreciated. Communication with the tour operator was smooth and professional. They picked us up directly from our accommodation in Cairo (far from the city center) and transported us comfortably to Alexandria, where we met our guide. After the tour, we were taken back to Cairo without any issues. This is the kind of service that truly helps Egyptian tourism grow. The tour fully deserves a 5-star review.

Our historical day trip to Alexandria, Egypt was fantastic from beginning to end. The entire tour was very well organized, with a smooth and efficient process that made the experience completely stress-free. We visited Alexandria’s most important historical sites, and everything was perfectly timed without feeling rushed. The transportation was comfortable, and the itinerary was thoughtfully planned to cover a lot while still allowing us to enjoy each location. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a well-structured, enjoyable, and informative Alexandria day tour.

Khalid was very approachable and looked after us throughout the day. He ensured that everyone was given enough drinks and snacks for the long journey. It is a long journey to Alexandria which was made clear in the trip description. I enjoyed the Catacombs, the best. The lunch was lovely either chicken or fish option (I think there were also vegetarian options) and the setting was lovely overlooked the Mediterranean Sea.

Excellent itinerary with lots of impressive sites to visit and a delightful seafront restaurant for lunch. A long drive from Cairo but our driver Mohd made it a fun journey with several stops and sampling of local fruits. Our guide , Surah, was passionate and knowledgeable and made it such an informative and interesting day. Highly recommended if you want to explore outside of Cairo

Amazing tour guide to Alexandra, Mohammed. He was so knowledgeable. Saw some amazing sites. The meal was good also. One one problem, the windows of the 12 seater minibus were so small it was impossible to see sights on the other side of the bus. However Mohammed stopped the bus for us to take pictures of some sights. Would recommend.

"Eye-man", our guide was one of the best guides I have ever seen in my life, really! Very talkative and full of energy, he showed us all the sightseeing points in the city and then took us to lunch. He also answered many of my questions about Egypt and local life. The driver was very good too, unlike many crazy drivers we met in Egypt. Thank you so much guys for this experience! :)

It was very nice, everything was very good. The transportation was good and also the guide was very good. We liked also how it was planned as trip. The only thing is that I recommend to adjust is that the lunch could have been bigger and the price could be a little bit cheaper. For the rest It was excellent and superb I suggested to anyone who want to have an experience to Alexandria in one day.
