Reviews
Gute und auch interessante Führung durch Alexandria von Maha Emam. Außerdem hat der Transfer von Kairo aus gut geklappt.
We had a great time and a great tour. The tour guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. She was an egiptologist and shared her expertise in Egyptian and Greek. Roman art and history. We covered the catacombs ( very crowded), the Roman theater, and the famous lighthouse ordered by Alexander the Great. We had a great lunch ( seafood) at the local restaurant with a Mediterranean sea view. We had no time left for the Coptic church and history in Alexandria. I recommend OceanAir tours.
Es war eine tolle Erfahrung. Wir haben vieles in kürzester Zeit gesehen. Unsere tolle Reise hat schon im Auto begonnen mit vielen Geschichten und Erzählungen. Kann nur empfehlen
The tour was a bit of a mixed bag: + car is comfortable with AC and a good driver + group size was excellent, four people in total + guide is knowledgable, answers all your questions during the ride + the logistics are well organized, you skip most of the lines On the negative side: - the guide was chasing us through the sites like crazy, we were done with the program before lunch already some of the steps were a real downer (2mins in front of the library, not entering the main building in the citadel, ...), overall we were back in the - the language skils of our guide (the tour was in German)
La mia guida si chiama Salma ,operatrice preparatissima ,accurata nella descrizione della storia di Alessandria, molto gentile ,tour stupendo lo consiglio vivamente .molto soddisfatto.
Our tour guide, Heba, was amazing! We couldn’t had a better one. She knew pretty much everything and took the time to take good pictures of us, gave us fresh water bottles and was patient when we took extra time to admire the Mediterranean view.
