Great day

Our guide for the day was Haba. She was great. Met us on time and took us around the major sites. Explanations were very clear and we learnt a lot about the city and the history Highly recommend

Helpful and accommodating

Rasha was consistently good and friendly with communication. She was also helpful and accommodating our needs as we were 1-hour late .. she therefore allocated a relief guide for us, Aalaa who was very friendly and helpful. I would recommend both of these guides.

Excellent Guide for an Unforgettable Alexandria Tour

We had a fantastic experience exploring Alexandria with our guide. She was knowledgeable and passionate, bringing the city's rich history to life. She guided us through key landmarks like the Library of Alexandria, the Catacombs, and the Greek Amphitheater, sharing fascinating insights at each stop. Beyond the main sites, she also recommended a charming old market to explore and a wonderful local restaurant for lunch. Her warm and professional approach made our visit truly memorable – highly recommended!

Spitzen Guide

Mit Rasha hatten wir eine freundliche, aufgeschlossene und informierte Reisebegleiterin. Wir hatten einen wundervollen Tag und haben die schönsten Plätze Alexandrias erkundet. Vielen Dank und klare Weiterempfehlung für diese tolle Frau!

Wonderful tour

I had a very wonderful tour with Rasha. She is very thoughtful, has a lot of knowledge, and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. You get to see the highlights of Alexandria- the library (and museums within it), a Coptic cathedral, amphitheater, and catacombs. We even stopped for some local sweets. I 100% recommend this tour!
