Eslam was a great tour guide!!His English is exceptional and his knowledge even better! He was always kind and answered all our questions, and believe me we asked a lot!He was kind and discrete at all times and very explanatory!The places he took us, from cafe to restaurant, were traditional with very tasty food and clean!He helped us with the pictures and the driver he had with him, was great under the circumstances as well!

Nor was an amazing tour guide! We booked with tree of life and he was so knowledgeable, ensured if we needed coffee or toilet stops we did, kept us on schedule without rushing, and made our Alexandria day trip so memorable. he ended up seeing us 3 days later at the airport and from kindness of his heart walked and helped us from Luxor arrivals back to Cairo departure when our own guide that day left us high and dry. Nor, you are wonderful - from Jemely and Jerry we appreciate you so!

Absolutely amazing. Mimo was extremely knowledgeable and knew the best places for food(he knows the way to a fat “kids” heart). But the history and insight he shared of the places was appreciated and I loved every minute of it. Hussein is an amazing driver. He navigated the streets like a total professional. I would go again with these 2.

There was no free wifi on board and the drinks refered were a few bottles of water. The restaurant they took us had poor quality and I was later told by someone I was lucky not to choose fish.

Gouda is a fantastic tour guide—exceptionally knowledgeable and funny. But he also is extraordinarily kind. He had water ready for us for the expected very hot weather. Then, he helped my wife up and down uneven stairs on his own initiative. Great tour—great guide.

Guide Fatima and driver Mohammed provided a fully choreographed experience of Alexandria, responding to my time commitments at each of four stops made. Although young, Fatima had a wealth of knowledge of Egyptology. Infectious enthusiasm and good humor, and desire to please made for a fine day, and Mohammed’s driving skills were reassuring. Although it was a long day, given the round commute from Cairo, time passed quickly in Fatima’s always entertaining company.

The tour hit all the important sites and went out of his way to include a site which was specific to our area of interest

Yasser was an excellent guide for our private tour to Alexandria. He was very friendly and provided insightful commentary about the sites we visited. During the drive to Alexandria he talked about life and history of Egypt. Tamer was an excellent driver of our van.

אלכסנדריה יפה יותר לדעתי מקהיר . מאוד נהנתי מהטיול בגני מונטזה ועל הטיילת עם הנוף המרהיב של גלי הים התיכון הסוערים והתנפצים בעונה זו של השנה. כמו כן אהבתי מאוד את הפלאפל והפול המקומיים שלטעמי היו טעימים יותר מבקהיר כמו גם את הממתקים המצריים.
