Youssef was lightning fast with his responses to our enquiry, quickly crafting a custom itinerary which perfectly served our needs. His fleet of late model vehicles were scrupulously clean, and his drivers were very professional. We highly commend Youssef to anyone looking for a "middle class" private car personalized tour. Not cheap like the canned tours, or ridiculously expensive like the Mercedes/white linen tablecloth restaurant competitors. Right in the middle, in what is to us the sweet spot.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thanks for your lovely words . I hope see you again In Egypt

Youssef was amenable to wholesale changes to our scheduled itinerary when my wife decided not to join in. I had a lingering interest to see the El Alamein battlefield. So off we went for a day down the coast. I was blown away by all the development along the way.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thanks for booking with me . I hope see you again in Egypt

We enjoyed our tour with Youssef very much. I want to award him 4 points out of 5. Reason…..I never ever give a perfect score for anything because that would be perfection. This is no reflection on Youssef who was friendly helpful and informative. Yours

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thanks for making the review

We added a three night Alexandria trip to the end of our primary Egypt tour. Youseff did a good job of helping us arrange RT from Cairo and showing us the basic must see sights of the city. Hassan our driver was also excellent. I did not realize how large city Alexandria is and it was not quite as relaxing as we thought. There was some misunderstanding about price and payment but that was worked out. If possible fly home from Alexandria. Getting back through Cairo was a nightmare.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thanks for your words. I hope See you again in Alexandria . You have home in Alexandria welcome any time

TOURSBYLOCALS RESPONSE: We aim for the entire process from booking to post - tour to be seamless and hassle-free, and have reached out to the traveller directly to apologise for the confusion about the pricing of the tour. Youssef advised there was heavy traffic going through Cairo on the day of the tour, which is typical of the city.

Youssef is a fantastic guide who gives a flavor of what life is like in Alexandria while showing you the sites both ancient and modern. We walked, took a horse and carriage, a taxi and a private car during our tour. Youssef showed us everything in a friendly, laid back fashion it felt like we were hanging out with an old friend. Everywhere we went Youssef was known and liked by all. WE have gone on many private tours all over the world and this rates as one of the very best. We highly recommend Youssef.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thanks alot

Youssef was excellent - he was honest about issues in Egypt, knowledgeable about the history and sites of Alexandria, had a good sense of humor, and was very engaging. Although it was a bit of a whirlwind tour (because of our time restraints), he did an excellent job, and we got a great overview of the major sites in Alexandria. Overall, highly recommended.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thanks for you. You are very good persons . I hope see you again in Egypt

Youssef was very informative and accommodating. He met our train, gave us choices about timing, covered all the sites and took us for a wonderful fish lunch. My partner accidentally left his cell phone in the Alexandria Library. When he realized it was missing we were many km away but Youssef interrupted the tour and immediately had the driver return to the library and talked to Security for us and luckily it had been turned in so was recovered; both he and driver showed real concern. Many thanks.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thanks a lot . Am happy for working with you and I hope meeting you in Alexandria again

We had a very good overview tour of Alexandria. Youssef and his expert driver were on time and very helpful though Youssef was a bit difficult to understand at times. We were taken to all the major sights in the city and to an excellent local seafood restaurant for lunch.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thanks alot for you and I hope see you soon

Great Tour, we had an unforgettable day in Alexandria and the great opportunity to see the city through the eyes of one of its sons. Completely unlike the typical "professional" tour where halve the time they try to sell overpriced tourist crap to you. Mr. Youssef has sound knowledge of the historic and present city. Even though the tour actually took the promised 10 hours (extraordinary in Egypt), it never got boring or drawn-out.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thanks a lot for this kind words. also you are great tourist and I hope see more tourists from Germany and other countries in my city
