The Best of Alexandria ! - Our driver AHmed Hamdy was very friendly and easy going !! He came on time and waited for us and our guide during all trip! He was very kind and help us in everything! It’s a long road but it worth the effort to go ! The car is big enough for 6 persons with a AC, and free cold bottle water! We skip lunch so we can enjoy more places ! Our guide Rabab was very nice and professional , she took us to mosque ,citadel, library and the catacombs !! She gave us good information about history and help us with the pictures as well ! Having a private tour was amazing because you can do more activities and enjoy the day without the stress to walk with a bigger group ! Even we stop by the Mediterranean Sea for pictures !

Wonderful day trip to Alexandria with a great guide. - I had a wonderful day-long tour from Cairo to Alexandria with Tamer who was a great and very professional guide and driver. Tamer made our trip very comfortable and friendly and provided unparalleled local flavor to the experience by showing me parts of Alexandria few visitors get to see in addition to all the usual tourist hot spots. His wonderful company and conversation made the trip much more interesting, enjoyable and memorable. I would highly recommend it to those interested in such types of experiences.

Great for solo travelers who ask questions and wish to engage at length with their guide - My guide was Tamer, who was highly educated, conversational, and just a true gentleman. He went out of his way to engage with me and learn my likes/interests. It's a long drive to/return from Cairo to Alexandra, so we spoke with me at length about local culture, sports, etc. I'm a solo traveler and appreciate these types of conversations over your basic point and smile type of guides. Most importantly (for me as a frequent traveler versus a “tourist”) was that we did not visit ancillary facilities or sites that target tourists, which is sometimes common on tours. I would book with Tamer again 100 times over. I did receive some requests from the tour company asking me to book more tours, even to cancel with others. That is a concern that needs to be addressed when a client politely declines.

Amazing Tour with Excellent Guide and Driver! - I had an unforgettable day touring Alexandria with Mohamed Haweet as my driver and an amazing guide. As a solo traveler, I was initially worried about navigating the city, but Mohamed made everything so comfortable and enjoyable. He picked me up promptly from my hotel in Cairo and took me to all the must-see spots in Alexandria, sharing his extensive knowledge of the city’s history and culture. Mohamed also doubled as a fantastic photographer, capturing some great shots for me throughout the day. He was very attentive, professional, and made sure I had a wonderful experience. I highly recommend this tour, especially for solo travelers looking for a safe, informative, and enjoyable experience in Alexandria!

Exploring the Healing Powers of Oils - Discover Hidden Treasures with Our Exclusive Shopping Tour! Under the expert guidance of our knowledgeable guide, Ehab, we embarked on a sensational shopping journey. Ehab curated a selection of fabulous destinations, each offering unique finds that exceeded our expectations. Safely navigating through the bustling streets was our skilled driver, Hassan, ensuring our journey was smooth and stress free. This private shopping tour was an absolute delight! From stunning jewelry to exquisite clothing, and from captivating carpets to the finest essential oils, every stop offered something special. However, it was the essential oils that truly stole the show for me. Ehab introduced us to a variety of oils, some of which I had never encountered before, each with its own remarkable healing properties. If you're looking for an unforgettable experience filled with exclusive finds and valuable insights into the world of essential oils, I highly recommend booking this tour. Trust me, you won't regret it!
