We greatly enjoyed our city tour! Sally was such a welcoming and informative city guide. She navigated the sights with us smoothly and helped us even beat some of the crowds. She treated us to a coffee stop and an Egyptian treat local spot. Can’t thank you enough Sally!

Great!

All as promised. Great service and information. Excellent lunch. Well worth the reasonable cost for the private tour.

Shaina was a wonderful...

Michael_K, Aug 2025

Shaina was a wonderful guide. We enjoyed her company as well as her information. Library of Alexandria was a great site to visit and the A/C worked very well. Each site had excellent historical value which we all enjoyed learning. Although we were very hot most of the time, it was cool to have the little van all to ourselves. Thank you for the informative and entertaining day.

Incredible Private Tour of Alexandria with Tori – A Perfect Day!

Kimberly_K, Jun 2025

We had an amazing day exploring the beautiful and historic city of Alexandria with our guide, Tori. From start to finish, the tour-organized, informative, and filled with unforgettable sights. We began at the impressive Fort of Qaitbay (Citadel of Qaitbay), where Tori brought the history of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria to life. From there, we visited the stunning Mosque of Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi, a spiritual and architectural gem. Next, we ventured underground to the haunting and fascinating Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa, followed by a stop at the monumental Pompey's Pillar, where Tori shared insightful stories that made the ruins truly come alive. One of the highlights of the day was the Bibliotheca Alexandrina — an inspiring modern marvel that beautifully honors the legacy of the ancient library. Tori was not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also entertaining, making history engaging and fun throughout the tour. We also want to give a big shout-out to our driver, Mohammed, who was absolutely phenomenal — professional, courteous, and made the journey between sites smooth and comfortable. We ended our tour with a delicious meal at Branzino Restaurant, where we enjoyed fresh local fish and creamy hummus while overlooking the Mediterranean Sea — the perfect way to wrap up a spectacular day. If you’re visiting Alexandria, don’t miss it — highly recommended!

Excellent Alexandria Tour

This tour was awesome. Tarek was thorough, knowledgeable and timely with the tour. He took us to all of the highlighted sites in Alexandria. His vehicle was comfortable. In addition to the above positive attributes, he was also kind. He also took us to authentic places to shop with great quality. We enjoyed the tour and would recommend it highly.

Best Tour We Have Experienced!!

Robert_S, Oct 2023

Tarek and Sharif were fantastic! Tarek did an excellent job in explaining the history of the city, country and the wonderful sites we visited. Sharif was masterful in driving through the city and ensuring we were close to the sites. They were professional, knowledgeable, flexible, friendly, etc. They became our friends. The best tour we had throughout our cruising career.
