Norhan at Ramasside Tours was our private guide for two days in Alexandria. We were on a cruise and booked the complete tour of the city as a private shore excursion. Since we are older, we chose to see the city over two days rather than in one long day.
We had the same team for both days and they were excellent. Norhan has a deep knowledge and love of Egyptian history and archaeology. She was able to answer all our questions about the sights we were seeing - and informed us about much more as well. Her English is good and she was extremely kind and attentive to what interested us, our preferred pace, and to our physical limitations. She ensured that we saw everything on our customized itinerary and suggested other possibilities as well.
Booking through and paying Ramasside was easy and they were very responsive to our requests for a customized tour. Their proposal exactly met our requests. Shortly before we arrived, they sent clear information about where to meet as well as the name, phone number and photo of our guide. When we reached the meeting point, Osama, their operations manager, was there to greet us and Norhan and the car arrived promptly thereafter.
The car was new and clean and our driver, Mohammed, was very good. The traffic in Alexandria is chaotic and the drivers are erratic, but we always felt safe with Mohammed at the wheel.
We would highly recommend Norhan and Ramasside Tours to anyone visiting Egypt.
