The best experience ever - We had an amazing day tour in Alexandria with Mohamed—he was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made everything easy and enjoyable. His English is excellent, and I can’t forget his charming British accent—it added such a unique touch to the experience. He shared fascinating insights about the city’s history and culture, and made sure we were comfortable the entire time. The restaurant he took us to was also fantastic! The food was delicious, and if you’re in Alexandria, you absolutely have to try the fish—it’s incredibly fresh. Highly recommend both the tour and Mohamed as a guide!

History, Hospitality, and a Day to Remember - I had a wonderful day exploring Alexandria, thanks to my amazing guide Mehmoud and our driver Mohammed. Mehmoud was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Egyptian history—his storytelling really brought the ancient sites to life. He answered every question with such depth and made the experience both educational and engaging. Mohammed was punctual, polite, and ensured a smooth and comfortable ride throughout the day. Together, they made the tour seamless and memorable. Highly recommend both if you’re looking to truly understand the rich heritage of Egypt with ease and comfort!

Last minute trip? No problem! - I booked this trip very last minute, like 30 mins last minute and the tour guide was fantastic the entire way through. Mohamed was very knowledgeable about his town of Alexandria. While it is a long ride from Cairo to Alexandria the bus was clean, air conditioned and comfortable. Would definitely recommend this trip to others

a very good experience! - It was a very good experience! Our guide, Mohamed, gave us all the historical information about the visited places in a very funny fashion. Lots of photos. No doubt, that the site of the Catacombs is the most interesting place

Too much for too little time - It took a while to arrive in Alexandria. Too much packed for a short time. Very tiring and rushed. Returned very late back to Cairo...

Guia does not speak Portuguese - We hired a guide who spoke Portuguese and there appeared one who does not speak Portuguese and speaks only English. That's why we don't give 5 stars. Besides, the places visited were beautiful
