Mahmoud is fantastic 👏 - Mahmoud was an excellent driver. He stopped to get us water and snacks. We got us to Alexandria and took us to all the locations we wanted to see and we were able to do it on our time and not feel rushed. We also werent hasseled by anyone on the streets as we walked around because he would speak up for us. When he dropped us off he took us straight to our train station in a timely manner to ensure we had time to relax before getting on our train. We highly recommend him.

100/100 - A must do!! - Our tour guide Reem and our driver Khalid (apologies on the spelling) were absolutely fantastic! Reem was such a sweet gentle person who was so happy and excited to be showing us her home and explaining the beautiful history of Alexandria to us. Our driver Khalid was incredible! Navigating the streets of Egypt is a surreal experience and Khalid did it with such ease. He was more than happy to make stops along the way for us to grab refreshments. Thank you Khalid for making the 5+ hours of traveling very enjoyable! And thank you Reem for your wonderful in-site into Ancient life in Alexandria.

Great day trip to Alexandria - We had a great day trip to Alexandria. Ali our driver picked us up at the hotel on time and negotiated the tricky traffic in Cairo and Alendria. Our guide Sheree (sp?) was friendly and fabulous - she met us in Alexandria and gave detailed historical information at all the sites and gave us free time at each to wander or take things in. She answered all our questions and seamlessly got us in and out of all the places with our driver who was waiting nearby. She also stayed in contact with our driver on our way home. We felt safe and in expert hands the whole time. Thanks for a wonderful experience!

Amazing experience - Amazing experience. We got one day extra and decided at last minute to book this trip from one day to another. Hamed pick us up at 7, he was very friendly, on time in every stop and give us a lot of insides of the city. Reem was amazing, super lovely and knowledgeable of every detail in each stop. I recommend it 100% if you have a day off and want to see as much of Egypt in your trip

Tour Guide Rushed Through The Tour - Our tour guide rushed through the tour and gave us less time at all the places of interest than was intended. At the citadel, we were not given an hour to explore and given less than an hour at the Bibliotheca. The tour ended 2 hours earlier than the planned time. It seemed as though she just wanted to be done with the tour as soon as possible. If we were given the appropriate time, we would have been able to have more time to explore and take more pictures of the places. We felt rushed. The itinerary and places to visit on the tour is very well planned if the tour guide follows the timeline. This is the first tour guide who has rushed through a tour. I should have looked at the timeline and questioned her during the tour. Now, I will make sure to know the timeline on all future tours so that this does not happen to us again. The driver was very nice and felt safe driving with him. Driver very punctual and on time.
