Alexandria Tour by experienced guide, Reem

Published on Feb, 2025

The Alexandria tour was absolutely amazing! We were fortunate to have a highly knowledgeable and capable tour guide, Reem. She was thorough in her explanations and took the time to ensure that we understood everything, which was especially helpful since I tend to ask a lot of questions. The visit to the Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa was highly educational, and I was truly amazed by the rich history of the area. However, the real highlight of the day was the Qaitbay Citadel. Reem was more than happy to provide a detailed explanation of its history and significance, which greatly enhanced my understanding and appreciation of the site. Thank you, Reem, for a wonderful tour! I highly recommend booking this tour, and if you do, make sure to request Reem as your guide. She was, by far, one of the best tour guides I encountered during our holiday in Egypt.

Perfect tour to visit Alexandria

Published on Jan, 2025

I was the only person booked the tour for that day, so it became a private tour without being cancelled. The tour was amazing to visit Alexandria in a day. The driver was super kind and the tour guide was very knowledgeable. I have truly enjoyed the tour and highly recommend it!

Amazing history and architecture

Published on Dec, 2024

We had a lovely time in Alexandria seeing the amazing architectural and historical traces of different civilisations: the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, the Roman amphitheatre of Kom El-Deka, Pompey's Pillar and the Citadel of Qaitbay. Our guide, Ayman, is a unique character with so much experience and charisma. He impressed us with his wittiness, knowledge and great voice. We thank Ayman and our driver Mohammed for making our trip enjoyable and safe.

I would definitely recommend this tour to Alexandria.

lovey day out

Published on Nov, 2024

We had an amazing time with Sam (driver) and Aymen. Both were so knowledgeable especially Aymen. He was very good at explaining things. We could see he is so passionate about alexandria and Egypt. He answered all my questions well. We really felt at home with both of them and felt welcomed. My mum has mobility issues and Aymen really catered to that and helped her. Alexandria was beautiful and it was a lovely tour - highly recommend as a day trip. Thank you for a beautiful day
