The guide Karim was entertaining and funny. We had a lot of fun together. The cultural information in the Roman excavations was somewhat weak. Otherwise he told us a lot. At the moment the Montana Gardens are pretty devastated and unsightly. Even the streets inside are being rebuilt. Pretty mess. This part is actually a weak point. Alexandria itself is disappointing in terms of beauty. Even along the nearby promenade almost all the houses are in a sorry state. A lot of dirt everywhere. scruffy. Even in the beautiful harbor by the citadel it is full of plastic in the water. Actually unbelievable nowadays.

We had a great trip with Mohammed and Hany! Picked up on time, very informative and enough time for photos. Due to Corona, there were two restrictions: The library is currently not or only very randomly accessible to tourists and the women's entrance to the Abu-l-Abbas-al-Mursi Mosque was closed. At least I could look in from the door. My husband took a lot of photos of the interior for this purpose. We only took photos of the library from the outside. Otherwise everything was fine. It was also very funny and Mohammed sent us the photos after the tour. We can recommend the tour despite the restrictions caused by Corona, although the library is a real shame.

Worth every penny!

A local guide is the best way to make use of your limited time in a foreign city, and Rasha, our guide in Alexandria, was superb. Not only was she very knowledgeable about the history of all the amazing places we visited, her English was faultless. Also, nothing flustered Rasha and nothing was too much trouble for her either. We wanted to slightly alter the itinerary, she obliged, and went out of her way to ensure we had the best possible City Tour experience ... it really was worth every penny!
