Great day trip that covers all of the highlights - We had a wonderful experience in Alexandria. Our guide Marwa was very passionate about the city's rich history and had lots of interesting facts to share with us. We visited several historical sites and she told us everything we needed to know about each place. She took us to a great fish restaurant for lunch. It was was a very pleasant experience for both me and my friend. We highly recommend taking this day trip.

Marwa is the best guide - Amazing experience with Marwa. Did a food tour.. Visited the Citadel, the library and walked through the local markets and downtown. Marwa is the kindest, most humble human being I have ever met. Thank you again Waleed.

Best Guide in Alexandria - Day trip from Cairo. Roundtrip went very smoothly. in Alexandria, we had the pleasure of meeting Marwa, who's the best guide. She was super attentive and always accommodating my 85yr old grandmother. Her knowledge of the city and background as an archeologist made the tour very interesting. Would definitely come back with her.

Historical day at Alexandria. A must when in Egypt. - Visited Giza and wanted to see the city and historical sites of Alexandria. Had the pleasure of having Marwa as a guide. She is amazing and I Can highly recommend her as an english speaking guide. She clearly knows her stuff about the history, and when she tells you to try the fried Grey Mullet or other dishes, do it. Was a great dish for lunch. Just FYI: I know that you often hear that “your guide is the best”-speech from other guides. I have heard that many times. But I could feel that they really cared for each other through their voices when they said it about her while coming to hug her good day, which makes me happy.

Amazing guide and service. - Marwa has got to be one of the best guides I have had the pleasure of being with. She is fluent in English, makes the trip safe, and is very flexible. This is the 3rd time we have made use of the company's services with Marwa and I have 0 regrets. Will continue booking both the company and Marwa as many times as I come to Egypt.

The best guide to Egypt and a perfect day - Marwa is a spectacular guide 👌, she has a lot of knowledge and as an Anthropologist she can guide you around Alexandria in a delicate way, filling your mind with images and situations that you did not learn in any book. Marwa adapted to our pace and also to the information we were looking for, making this trip unforgettable. Everything about our day with Marwa was perfect, even the food he chose for lunch. Thank you very much Marwa!

Discovering Alexandria - I did the tour with a friend while on a business trip to Cairo, as usual with the help and suggestion from Waleed, The tour really worth the time we spend there, pick up from the hotel with a nice driver, smoth trip on the way to Alexandria, there we meet our tour guide Marwa, she explained us all the details about the visited places with lots of details specially at the catacombs, we missed the library because it’s closed on Friday's. I do recommend this trip. Thanks for the visit.
