5 Stars!! Amazing tour experience in Alexandria - Our tour guide Mahmoud, in Alexandria provided an outstanding experience from start to finish. He guided us through the city's most beautiful and historic spots with deep knowledge and genuine care. The private yacht ride on the Mediterranean Sea was unforgettable, offering stunning views and a peaceful escape. To top it off, he brought us to a 5-star seafood restaurant right on the water, where the food and atmosphere were both incredible. Everything was perfectly organized and exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended.

A great day in Alexandria - We had the pleasure to meet our amazing tour guide, Momo, in our tour to all hiden gems of Alexandria. Momo started asking what we liked, to tailor the day according to our preferences which we can say, made a huge diference to build up on this amazing time we had. Momo's deep knowledge and passion for ancient history truly brought these iconic sites to life. He explained the significance of each location with such clarity and good humor, making the experience both educational and fun. He also made sure we were comfortable throughout the trip, offering insights into both the historical context and the unique details of each location. His expertise in Archeology was evident, and we left with a much deeper appreciation for Alexandria's rich history. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore Alexandria's wonders with an expert guide!

Engaging guide in Alexandria - Momo Salah, our guide is fun and entertaining and quite a good photographer. He gave us an abridged version of the history of Alexandria in a concise and interactive manner without boring my teenage son. He provided us with some free time to explore the sights which sat well with my inquisitive son. We never once felt that we were on a conducted tour but instead Momo felt like a friend showing us the sights of his hometown. My 16 year old son was quite impressed by the Alexandria library and it takes quite a bit to impress him. Overall we were glad to do this day trip to Alexandria as it has totally different city vibes from Cairo. Totally recommend.
