This was one of the best guide tours I have been on. Both the driver and and the guide were fantastic and very informative . I would recommend the tour to anyone who wishes to see Alexandria and in particular with guide or and driver assigned to my tour. A++
An excellent day. The pick up was prompt, the bus was air conned and the driver was super nice. The tour guide Heba was excellent and very informative on the history of the sites. It was the perfect amount of time in each place and the Cetiedil was the highlight. The restaurant chosen for lunch was also great. We highly recommend this trip – it’s a great day out and highly reliable
I had two tour booked by ocean travels via get guide and it was amazing without any hiccup . First trip was for Alexandria and sending one for old Cairo trip . The driver picked us up from our hotel . Sam is not just a person behind the wheel very knowledgeable and kind hearted person . He is the best we had in our whole Egypt trip . Our guide in Alexandria was very knowledgeable name Kamal on top he is researcher and Egyptologist . He took most of the place whiting the time and explain everything very humbly . Our next tour was pretty much the same but it was more fun even though I request them to drop us up after the tour to the airport they didn’t hesitate to organize it within the price frame . Also our tour guide Amir was very knowledgeable and he gave us nice tour along with the bazar and help us do the shopping in the heat . I really recommend this tour company and if I come back I will definitely use them again . Keep up the good work guys . Communication, transportation 10/10
