My guide Khaled Mamdoh was professional, knowledgeable, with a caring personality. Teamed with an excellent driver made this day trip memorable. Mr. Mamdoh knew many short cuts around Alexandria so we could spend my time at the sights instead of traffic. I highly recommend this tour.

It all worked rather perfectly, my partner and I had an extra day in Cairo before our tour started. We decided that we really wanted to visit Alexandria and Your Egypt Tours came highly recommended. Mamdouh and our driver were waiting for us at the airport on our arrival and then we headed straight up to Alexandria.
Mamdouh was an amazing guide and extremely insightful. The number of sites seen during the day was the right amount with a mix of ancient Egypt, finishing with the new library. I must call out that the fish restaurant we stopped at for lunch was AMAZING!!! A definite highlight.
