Reviews
It was a truly wonderful trip eventhough we didnt have sufficient time to complete the itinerary. Fady Sabry was our tour guide,he was knowledgeable, friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. The whole trip felt smooth and enjoyable. I’m really happy with the service and would gladly travel with your team again🥰
Our journey to Alexandria went well, with a pickup on time, a good driving to the city and a very interesting guide. Unfortunately, we just missed the library as it closed at 2pm so slightly before we arrived so be sure to check the timing.
note that all ticket prices are not included and neither was the lunch. however the guide brought a lot of much needed guidance and context while visiting the monuments. we visited the fortress, the amphitheater, the catacombs, and the library. she was able to explain and provide more information about each location which was very much appreciated
The tour was excellent and very well organised. We were able to see 5 different touristic destinations in Alexandria in just one day. Our guide, Fady, was very knowledgeable about the history of Alexandria, and also other parts of Egypt too. It was a great learning experience. He was very punctual and arranged safe and comfortable travel from our hotel in Cairo to Alexandria and provided complimentary water. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone wanting to experience and learn about the ancient history of Alexandria!
Our tour guide Eriny and driver Abdul were so lovely and funny and made our day very enjoyable. Alexandria was beautiful! Eriny had very great knowledge of everything and answered all our questions thoroughly.
Our guide Fady was a rude & unprofessional guy. He hurried us up through the tour, so not enough time was given. He even left us with the driver near the end of the tour telling that his wife lives in Alexandria and he needs to see her. So l, we returned to driver to Cairo. The vehicle was in good condition & driver Ruby was also a good person. But the behaviour of the guide was very unprofessional. We think he should be removed from this job.
