Day to Alexandria from Cairo - A day well spent in Alexandria, Kaseem was very comprehensive, we told him we wanted to be back to Cairo earlier and he accomodated to our schedule, he was also telling us the stories in a funny way and have us enough time for pictures. He is very knowledgable of many historic data and people, i would say he is very qualified for the tour. Thank you for making this experiance posible. The experience is longer than advertised since it takes from 7:30am pick up to 6-7 pm dropoff point, however they can accomodate for your convenience.

Exciting journey through the history of Alexandria. The highlights of Alexandria. - The tour was very exciting. Shaimaa has told me a lot about the history of Alexandria from ancient times until now. We visited the most exciting places of Alexandria. The driver was also super friendly and took me comfortably from my hotel to Alexandria and back. The entrance to the individual tourist places I had to pay myself, but that was communicated from the beginning. Because I was traveling alone, my guide took pictures of me, which was great. There were also occasions where I could explore myself and I never felt rushed. We could watch everything at my pace. The highlight for me was the new library of Alexandria. The building is very nice and I could get lost in between the bookshelves. I certainly recommend having a drink and maybe bringing a snack. The tour is long and no lunch break is planned. For me it was no problem as I had a big breakfast at the hotel, and also brought something small.

Private day trip to Alexandria - Excellent tour of the city of Alexandria,Shaimaa . Our guide Gave us all the information about the different sites and she was very passionate about the Eygptipn history and culture . We visited all the sites on the itinerary and the fresh fish lunch was in a lovely restaurant on the beach . The driver was very courteous and Shaimaa really made our day . We would definitely recommend this private tour it was worth the extra cost to have a guide for the two of us rather then be part of a huge tour .

Alexandria by tram - Very interesting tour with Shaimaa as my local guide Shaimaa was very accommodating and took me to a few places that were not on the list such as a tram ride.

Alexandria, best experience. - Shaimaa was excellent. I spontaneously planned this tour on the day of my birthday and I couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend my day. Although lunch isn’t included in the tour, she went out of her way to recommend a restaurant overlooking the Mediterranean Sea….. wow, the meal was delicious and they made us feel very welcomed. Overall great experience, Shaimaa is very knowledgeable and friendly.

Great experience! - My family and I had a great time during this tour with our guide Shaimaa. We visited the catacombs, the Roman amphitheater, the library of Alexandria, Quaitbay castle, and the Abbo Elabbas mosque. We requested a different lunch, as one of our family members did not eat seafood, and Shaimaa was happy to provide us with a delicious alternative. She was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, would definitely recommend this experience to all!

Fun in Cairo! - Shaimaa was a wonderful tour guide. She showed us unique locations around Alexandria such as the Catacombs, Roman Ampitheater, Library of Alexandria, and more! She was very kind, knowledgeable, and gave us a great understanding of Alexandria. Abdelaziz was our driver to and from Cairo, and he was extremely polite and courteous. I recommend this experience very much!
