Alexandria a beautiful city near the Mediterranean sea

5.00My last tour in Egypt, Alexandria did not disappoint. This city overlooking the mediterranean sea was simply beautiful! With it’s famous library that used to be the biggest one in the world. I waz amaze how big it was. A mosque that looks like it’s made of lace. And more places to visit like the fort, the catacombs…I truly enjoyed my trip to this city. Having a personal guide (Ola) who was also a great photographer and a competent driver (Omar) was a plus it made this trip a fun one!
Very convenient for solo traveler.

5.00As a solo and first time traveler to Egypt, I found this touring package to be very convenient, safe and stress free. All one has to do is show up at one’s hotel reception and your tour begins! My driver (Hany) was punctual, attentive and had a clean air conditioned vehicle. The drive between Cairo and Alexandria was about 2 hours but the changes in the scenery made the drive interesting. My tour guide Menna was picked up in Alexandria and she was fantastic, spoke good English, was easy going and was very knowledgeable of the history of Alexandria and Egypt in general. She also volunteered to photographs which helped as a solo traveler. If you are a solo traveler, or first time traveller to Egypt (or even for a small group of family or friends) I do recommend this package, Hany the driver and Meena the tour guide.
Very reliable, and really enjoyable day!

5.00It was really an amazing day, one of the best experiences for a guided tour I had in a long time. A very knowledgeable, experienced, honest and friendly guide (Wael). And a reliable and easy going driver (Mohamed) as well. The pickup and the return were exact acc. the agreed timing, and I was informed upfront in detail about the itinerary as well, so I knew exactly what to expect. No hassle whatsoever, which I really appreciated, as I didn’t need to worry about anything, so I was just able to enjoy the day. Next time, for a different tour, I would definitely want to book with the same guide and driver again. Thanks!
Great day trip to Alexandria!

5.00Wael was our tour guide and Hazam was our driver, and they both made our day trip to Alexandria great. Wael was very knowledgeable in Egyptian history and made sure we were enjoying ourselves at each of our stops. He was also protective and made sure we weren’t being bothered by others, which we really appreciated.
