Great Way to Spend a Day in Alexandria from Cairo

Published on Feb, 2025

Timely pick and then arrival in Alexandria. Excellent way to see many sights in Alexandria. We had a great fresh seafood lunch with a view.

The most Alexandria in a day

Published on Nov, 2024

Alexandria cannot be missed. If your itinerary only gives you one day out of Cairo, this day trip accomplishes a lot. Mohamed was resourceful and attentive.

A Wonderful day trip of Alexandria.

Published on Mar, 2024

An amazing trip to understand the history of Alexandria. Special thanks to our tour guide Mr. Waleed Magdy who made our day sharing his rich knowledge about the history and archeological facts of the city. Also, thanks to Ms. Sylvia Shinouda for well arranging and organising our trip.

Great experience!

Published on Feb, 2024

Highly enjoyable day trip with Waleed, Ramasside tours picked this amazing tour guide for us. The depth of his knowledge impressed us greatly. And, his kindness, patience, and passion for his profession made our time together exceptionally enjoyable and fulfilling. I believe that in the near future, I will visit Alexandria again, and I will continue to choose Ramasaide Tours and Waleed as my guide to explore more places.

Day trip to Alexandria

Published on Feb, 2024

Great day trip to Alexandria. Mohammed was an excellent tour guide. He explained everything and was very friendly. I was contacted when booked and the day before with details. Pickup was on time. It was a small group of 8 in a mini bus. Lunch was very good and overlooked the sea. Tip: it’s a long day so pick up breakfast the night before and some snack as the service station stop was not so good on the way
