Excellent day trip from Cairo. I feel I saw all the main sights of Alexandria and not in a rushed time frame. The driver picked me up on time. Abdelaziz is his name and he was an excellent driver for the day. He didn’t speak much English but was super friendly and we were able to communicate. We stopped along the desert express road for a coffee and snack. Once in Alexandria we met with the tour guide Shaiima Gaber. Shaimaa is amazing. Her knowledge of Alexandria history is massive. We started at the catacombs (which was my favorite place for the day) and did an extensive tour and discussion T

It was a great opportunity to learn more about complex ancient Egypt, interwoven with the histories of other empires. Abdelaziz was a respectful and safe driver, and Shaima was a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. Thank you

We had an amazing day trip from Cairo to Alexandria, and everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. Our driver picked us up right on time in Cairo, provided a smooth and comfortable ride to Alexandria, and later returned us safely to Cairo in the evening. In Alexandria, we were met by our guide Shaimaa, who was friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. She took us to all the top sites: the Library of Alexandria, Qaitbay Castle, the Catacombs, the Roman Amphitheater, the Mosque of Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi, and St. Mark’s Church. Her insights at each stop added so much val

Great trip from start to finish. Planned well an executed well. Driver was on time and was great throughout the trip. He was funny and tried to communicate with us, at times using a translator app. Very nice attitude. The tour guide Shaima met us in Alexandria. She was very knowledgeable, explained everything well, spoke good English, took lots of pictures along the way, and most importantly, never rushed us. We were initially skeptical about the driver not being fluent in English, but that was not an issue at all. He used the translator app to communicate and made every effort to make us feel

Thank you, Wallid, for accompanying us on the tour. Wallid was very friendly and had extensive knowledge of Alexandria’s history—we truly enjoyed meeting him. Our driver, Ahmad, was also very polite and drove comfortably, making the journey even more enjoyable!
