The tour guide was knowledgeable for the sites that we visited. However, we arrived late at the library and was not allowed to enter. We were supposed to have drinks and snacks, but we only received one bottle of water and one can of soda on the return back to our hotel after walking in the hot sun all day. We were promised that we could stop to shop for 30 mins in the market, but the tour guide tried to take us a a gov’t shopping location in which we refused to go in. Then, he said the traffic was bad in Alexandria and it would be better to stop in Cairo for shopping, but that never happened. This was the last day of our vacation and this tour Company was by far not to the standards of the other tour companies we used during our week vacation.

Ahmed Elsayed was our guide, friendly, very informative & knowledgeable. he pointed out sights on the drive from Giza to Alexandria. he made sure we ate and helped us navigate the entrance fee purchases for our stops. he kept us on schedule & let us take our time at each sight. well planned tour day. our driver was Hossam, who kept us safe & knew how to weave us in and out of the streets of Alexandria with an expertise that only an excellent driver in Egypt would have. highly recommend.
