We recently did a tour of Alexandria with Marwa, and she was excellent. As a former archaeologist, she really knows her stuff and provides a lot of historical context that you wouldn't get otherwise. It was clear she’s genuinely passionate about the history of the city, and her background made the sites much more interesting. She was very knowledgeable and shared plenty of information throughout the day without it feeling overwhelming. If you’re looking for a guide in Alexandria who actually knows the archaeology behind the ruins, Marwa is a great choice.

His explanations were clear and engaging, and he always took the time to answer questions while keeping the day relaxed and well-paced. What truly set this tour apart was the personal attention.

We had an incredible day in Alexandria with Forget Egypt Tours, and it was easily one of the highlights of our trip to Egypt. Our guide and tour operator, Waleed, was outstanding from start to finish. His deep knowledge of Alexandria’s history—from its Greco-Roman roots to its Islamic and modern heritage—made every stop meaningful and engaging. He explained everything clearly and with passion, bringing the city’s unique character to life. The tour was perfectly paced and very well organized. We visited the key landmarks while also enjoying the atmosphere of the city without feeling rushed. Waleed was attentive, flexible, and always focused on our comfort, adjusting the itinerary to match our interests and energy level. Transportation was comfortable, timing was seamless, and communication was excellent throughout the day. The entire experience felt private, personal, and thoughtfully designed rather than like a typical tourist tour.

We had a wonderful day in Alexandria with Marwa as our guide. She guided us beautifully through all the major attractions, including the Catacombs and the Roman Colosseum, spending a generous and unhurried amount of time at each site. Her knowledge is truly exceptional — she has a PhD in archaeology, and it really showed in the depth and clarity of her explanations. We were like curious students, constantly asking questions, and she patiently answered every single one with enthusiasm and insight. She also shared personal stories and local perspectives, which made the experience feel very warm and human. It never felt like a formal tour — more like exploring the city with a knowledgeable friend. Marwa also gave us excellent recommendations and took us to a fantastic restaurant for lunch. To top it all off, we ended the day at a dessert shop where we enjoyed kunafa and harissa. It was a truly lovely day, and we will cherish our time in Alexandria for a very long time. We highly recommend Marwa to anyone visiting the city.

It is wonderful to hear that you enjoyed not only the major historical sites, such as the Catacombs and the Roman Theater, but also the personal touches — local stories, warm conversations, and carefully chosen dining experiences. Ending the day with traditional desserts like kunafa and harissa is indeed a perfect Alexandrian finale. Your kind recommendation means a great deal to us and to Marwa.
