5.00I had an amazing day exploring Alexandria thanks to Said, who was not only an excellent driver but also a wonderful guide. He took me to five incredible landmarks — the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, the Roman Amphitheater, the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, the Qaitbay Citadel, and the Mosque of Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi — making sure I saw the very best of the city. Said was punctual, friendly, and knowledgeable about the history and culture of each place we visited. He drove safely and comfortably through the busy streets, and his warm personality made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I really appreciated how he went out of his way to make sure I had enough time at each site and always offered helpful tips for photos and local insights. If you’re visiting Alexandria, I highly recommend booking a tour with Said — he truly made my visit unforgettable!

5.00Great experience. The driver was on time. Safely got us to/from Cairo to Alexandra. Our Guide name Reem, she was very friendly and knowledgeable on Alexandria. She made my wife and feel very safe & welcomed. We enjoyed touring the sites of Alexandra with her. The lunch was very delicious & location at Restaurant Brazino on water front very appealing. Well done to our Guide & driver. Very successful day.

5.00Alexandria has a different vibe from Cairo with a fascinating history of its own. Being guided by Shery made for a great day. She put her Masters degree to great use and was a fountain of knowledge about her home city. Her sense of humor and interpersonal skills made for a complete experience.

5.00I wanted to see more of Egypt after visiting the Giza Necropolis, so I took a private, full day trip to Alexandria. The driver picked me up at my hotel at the scheduled time and drove to Alexandria, where we met my guide. My guide was great and extremely knowledgeable. I enjoyed my time with her. I prefer private tours because it affords you the opportunity to ask a lot of questions of your guide - something that you can't do on a large group tour. We saw most of the sites on the itinerary and then stopped for a wonderful lunch overlooking the Mediterranean coast. After lunch we completed the tour by visiting the remaining sites. The trip was worth it to me to see antiquities from the Roman times. There is a lot of history in Alexandria's past. We moved quickly as I did not want to spend too much time at any site but it was still a 10-hour trip by the time I got back to my hotel in Giza.
Visit Giza with Omar.
