On my last 2 days of my Egypt experience I received a private tour of museums and Alexandria from my guide Mahmoud. After all the amazing things I saw during my week in Egypt I was certain the most spectacular of adventures were behind me. I was wrong however. My adventure remained extremely exciting and profound right up until I arrived at the airport to leave. Mahmoud could not have been more accommodating. More importantly he has an absolute fountain of knowledge that he can relay effortlessly due to his obvious love of his country and its history. It was a wonderful experience and I’m very happy to have met him. I think Mahmoud is a good man and I can recommend with no hesitation that you book a tour with Aly of Egypt Tours. Have fun!

Although my arrangement on short notice (one day in advance) Mahmoud, my tour guide, made it easily possible for an individual programme for a solo pax and arranged a driver in a perfectly conditioned car.
Communication was permanently given and perfect. Mahmoud was competent and excellent in explaining also other aspects of Egypt.
The tour itself was packed with the landmarks of Alexandria. Highlights were the old citadel and modern library of Alexandria.
All in all I received great impressions on people and landscape in a short time frame.
