Excellent All Round.
We had an excellent experience in Alexandria with our lovely guide Sherihan and our skilled driver. Driving in Alexandria is not for the faint hearted!
We had booked a private tour and it was worth every penny. Alexandria is not a city that we would have been comfortable exploring on our own and we are experienced and intrepid travellers. From the initial communication and pick up through to drop off everything was great. We visited the Catacombs, the Library, the Mosque, the Ampitheatre and the Citadel - plus an ice cream stop. What a great day with lovely people.

Reem was great
My guide Reem knew all the spots to get the best photos. She gave a very detailed introduction at every spot, and was very interesting. Having a guide also made us feel safe during the visit.

Private Alexandria City Tour
Good organization, you didn't have to worry about anything (tickets, lunch was organized). The tour guide Reem had a lot of information, Hussein our driver dropped us off right in front of the sights and picked us up again.
Only the arrangement to the meeting point of the pickup could be optimized.

Best way to see Alexandra’s sites.
We were able to pick a start time that suited us. Our guide Mohamed took us to all the top sites and we hot see more than we would have with out him. Our driver was also exceptional in navigating Alenadras streets.

Private guided tour to many historic locations in Alexandria, Egypt
We have just spent a great day touring the fantastic historic sights of Alexandria with Mahmoud, our expert guide through Desert Adventures.
Mahmoud’s practical experience as an archaeologist and scholar and his wide ranging in-depth knowledge of the history of Alexandria, delivered with enthusiasm to share his knowledge, made the ancient to recent history come alive for us.
We highly recommend his guiding abilities and would have no hesitation in returning for another tour!
