Exceptional Guide For Alexandria on All Day Private Tour! - Rasha was knowledgeable, thoughtful and organized. I loved hearing the amazing history of the Quitbay , fort, old and new Harbour , the ancient university ruins as well as visiting the mosque and cathedral. My favourite stop was the Alexandria Bibliotecha! Such an incredible design and an amazing collection of literature in many, many languages. I especially appreciated that not only did Rasha have the facts but spent many happy hours as a student in the library.
My phone died and Rasha took pictures for me.
Without exception, I would recommend Rasha for the private all day tour of Alexandria if you want to dive into deep history of this ancient city.
It was such pleasure.

Great Introduction to Alexandria - We took this private tour on our first day in Alexandria, and we recommend this tour highly.
With our hotel pickup included, it gave us a great start at 9 am. With an excellent driver with a private car, it was efficient to move from one place to the next. Rasha gave us a good overview first, and then more details at each site. Towards the end of this tour, we gained a good overview of Alexandria's facinating history.

very nice and highly recommended. Guide was excellent. - Very nice tour worth seeing the city. It was a bit confusing about the start and end of trip. This trip was initiated and ended in Alexandria. We paid extra for transport from Cairo.

Excellent highlights tour with a great team - We were extremely satisfied with this tour! Our guide, Rasha, was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, and our driver was excellent as well. The itinerary was perfect, covering all the main highlights of Alexandria, but Rasha was also flexible enough to adapt the program slightly to suit our needs. The organization was top-notch; they picked us up right on time and everything ran smoothly. If you're visiting Alexandria, we definitely recommend this tour!

Excellent Alexandria Tour with Ms. Heba - We had a wonderful trip to Alexandria, Egypt. The city is full of history, and our tour guide Heba made the experience even better. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and well-organized. We highly recommend this tour and especially Heba for anyone visiting Alexandria.

Rania, our guide, and... - Rania, our guide, and Hani, our driver picked us up from hotel. Took us to all the major sightseeing spots. Rania, as an Egyptologist, gave us great introduction about what we saw and what we should know. And she encouraged us to ask questions. We felt we learned a lot about the country as well as the city of Alexandria!

Alexandria definitive tour! - Amazing trip to all the interesting sites in Alexandria! Rasha even accommodated two special spots for us so I can go by traditional Egyptian outfit from an authentic place and also a local cafe stop for Seesha! Other tour guides push you to buy things but she maintained a relaxed pace and never pushed us anywhere.
Great experience overall and highly recommend

History, Culture and Kindness - Shaimaa was a great host and extremely knowledgeable. This tour is well organized, and accommodating to the travelers (i.e. when one traveler was in need of a coffee fix, Shaimaa made it happen). We were not rushed in any location, Shaimaa gave us a lot of information, but then let us go at our own pace.
