The full day tour of Alexandria was amazing! Our guide Omar was so knowledgeable. He was very funny and friendly as well and made our day great. Our customer service representative Aya was extremely helpful and messaged us before our trip with all of our pickup details and messaged us after the tour to see how everything went. Definitely would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Alexandria!

This is an amazing tour!!! Our guide Heba (may have misspelled her name) was extremely educated and so accommodating!! She knew all of her history and more!! We needed to make a train and she made sure we had every bit of knowledge we wanted. She was perfect!!! The tour was perfect and I’d do it all again given the chance!
