A wonderful day in Alexandria

5.00We had a wonderful day in Alexandria with Marwa as our guide. She guided us beautifully through all the major attractions, including the Catacombs and the Roman Colosseum, spending a generous and unhurried amount of time at each site. Her knowledge is truly exceptional — she has a PhD in archaeology, and it really showed in the depth and clarity of her explanations. We were like curious students, constantly asking questions, and she patiently answered every single one with enthusiasm and insight. She also shared personal stories and local perspectives, which made the experience feel very warm and human. It never felt like a formal tour — more like exploring the city with a knowledgeable friend. Marwa also gave us excellent recommendations and took us to a fantastic restaurant for lunch. To top it all off, we ended the day at a dessert shop where we enjoyed kunafa and harissa. It was a truly lovely day, and we will cherish our time in Alexandria for a very long time. We highly recommend Marwa to anyone visiting the city.

5.00Day trip from Cairo. Roundtrip went very smoothly. in Alexandria, we had the pleasure of meeting Marwa, who's the best guide. She was super attentive and always accommodating my 85yr old grandmother. Her knowledge of the city and background as an archeologist made the tour very interesting. Would definitely come back with her.
Historical day at Alexandria. A must when in Egypt.

5.00Visited Giza and wanted to see the city and historical sites of Alexandria. Had the pleasure of having Marwa as a guide. She is amazing and I Can highly recommend her as an english speaking guide. She clearly knows her stuff about the history, and when she tells you to try the fried Grey Mullet or other dishes, do it. Was a great dish for lunch. Just FYI: I know that you often hear that “your guide is the best”-speech from other guides. I have heard that many times. But I could feel that they really cared for each other through their voices when they said it about her while coming to hug her good day, which makes me happy.
Amazing guide and service.

5.00Marwa has got to be one of the best guides I have had the pleasure of being with. She is fluent in English, makes the trip safe, and is very flexible. This is the 3rd time we have made use of the company's services with Marwa and I have 0 regrets. Will continue booking both the company and Marwa as many times as I come to Egypt.
