A Great Time in Alexandria

5.00My 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.
UNUSUAL ALEXANDRIA

5.00We 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.
A happy trip

5.00From 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.

5.00Rasha 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.

5.00I had a great tour thanks to Heba’s vast knowledge and experience. She knows Alexandria’s history quite well and has clearly had a lot of experience with guiding visitors. For me personally, she was more than just a guide: she showed genuine humanity as I needed special help. I wholeheartedly recommend Heba.
Variety in so many ways

5.00Karim’s food tour in Alexandria is less a tour and more a joyful, delicious life event. I arrived hungry and curious; I left happy, overfed, and questioning why I don’t schedule all my meals with Karim. He somehow knows everyone—chefs, bakers, grill masters, probably the fish themselves. Each stop was better than the last, which felt scientifically impossible until it kept happening. The food? Ridiculously good. The portions? Generous. The pace? Perfectly calibrated between “one more bite” and “I may need to roll to the next stop.” Karim is funny, warm, and explains food with the passion of a poet and the honesty of a true Alexandrian. You don’t just eat—you understand why this city tastes the way it does. If you’re in Alexandria and skip Karim’s tour, that’s fine—but don’t pretend you experienced the city. You just walked past it while it was busy being delicious.
Perfect guide for Alexandria

5.00Rasha was my guide for two days in Alexandria and Rosetta and she did an amazing job introducing me to many different layers of these places and their rich history. As a solo female traveller I couldn’t have wished for a better guide. On the second day I had a privilege of being also accompanied by Rasha’s husband Karim who is also a guide and having both of them as guides really elevated the experience because of their different but complimentary styles. It was a real privilege meeting both Rasha and her husband Karim who were the perfect guides for my short stay in Alexandria. I couldn’t re commend highly enough both of them! Thank you Rasha for introducing me to this magical city and a special thanks to Karim for the laughter and great time!
