A Perfect Day in Alexandria - We are riding back to Cairo from our day trip to Alexandria. We had a perfectly lovely day. Our driver, Ahmed, arrived on time at 7:00 AM. We had wanted a later departure but he explained in fluent English that waiting till 7:30 would have put us in heavy traffic. We sailed along the highway, arriving in Alexandria in about 2 1/2 hours so we appreciated that suggestion. Along the way, we chatted as Ahmed, in response to our questions, told us about Egyptian life as he had experienced it. Once in Alexandria, we met our extremely knowledgeable guide, Rania. We first visited the catacombs and then the Pillar of Pompey. Rania chose the order of the sites we visited so as to best avoid the crowds. For me the highlight was the Citadel of Qaitbay, the site of the ancient lighthouse. We made a short stop at the Morsi Abu Él Abbas Mosque and she allowed me time to go inside and visit it. Then our guide and driver took us to a seafood restaurant overlooking the ever-so-blue Mediterranean. Our guide first checked to see that there weren’t too many people such that service would be slow. They made sure our orders were quickly taken. Food was delicious and service was efficient. Finally we visited the Library of Alexandria. At each stop, our guide told us interesting facts about the place and skillfully handled our questions. It was easy to see that she is well educated in Egyptology. Both the guide and the driver were kind, courteous, respectful, and attentive to our needs. All of this added up to a perfect day, one which helped us learn about Alexandria, and to get to know more about the helpful and friendly Egyptian people.

Alexandria's Best trip - Guide Ranya and Ahmed. One of the best trip I had exploring Alexandria. The trip was long and foggy but Ahmed managed well his driving despite the weather condition and brought us to Alexandria safe. Ranya was the best guide for Alexandria, explaining every area we visited including stories related to the site. This is one of the best tour I had in egypt and will definitely be coming back.

Very good service and attention - We had a very good experience, we went as a couple and we had a private car with Ahmed, a kind and friendly driver who made sure to take us to every activity and make stops when needed. The service and attention was on point and we had an inconvenient of ours solved by them so we felt helped and thankfull. Totally recommended ☺️.

Best attraction in Egypt ♥️ - The trip to Alexandria was better than to Rome. I booked through their website because I didn't have an account here, but once I created one, I wanted to thank them. The trip was absolutely wonderful and well-organized. They helped us with everything, from the moment my family and I received free water and snacks from the start of the trip, when I was picked up from the hotel, until my return. The trip was truly worth experiencing
