We had a great day visiting Alexandria. Our guide, Marwa, was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of her city which made the trip even better. She told us in great detail about the history of the city and was able to answer all our questions. She also took us for a great lunch on the sea front. Our driver, Mostafa, was great too - picked us up on time, very friendly and drove safely. I would highly recommend this trip for anyone looking to do a day trip to Alexandria.

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.

Waleed brought the city to life as we explored the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, the Citadel of Qaitbay, and the Library of Alexandria. His explanations were clear and engaging, and he always took the time to a

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
