About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- dpowlan0 contributionsWe loved this tour!Momo and our driver were both fantastic! They were very accommodating to us regarding accessibility issues and we really loved our tour. We tasted many different foods and also went to a mosque and a Jewish synagogue. Momo was very knowledgeable and his English was very good. Excellent tour!Written December 2, 2024
- gfzljz0 contributionsDay tour of Alexandria.Wonderful day. Our driver and guide were very personable, informative and accomodating. Alexandria was a very interesting place. Great trip!Written November 5, 2024
- GoPlaces101435258640 contributionsPrivate Tour to Coptic Cairo, Cave Church and Coptic MuseumWe really enjoyed this tour. Our tour guide, Manar, was very knowledgeable about Coptic history. Manar shared with us many interesting facts from all the places we visited. The Cave Church was carved into the side of a mountain and was amazing to see. The drive to the Cave Church through the “garbage city” was also very interesting. We learned that the Hanging Church was built over two towers of the ancient Roman fortress. We were very happy to visit the site of the cave in which the Holy Family sought refuge during their journey through Egypt at the Church of Sergius and Bacchus. Our driver, Azzat, did a fantastic job of driving us safely through the crazy Cairo traffic! We would definitely recommend this tour to our friends and family.Written October 26, 2024
- suzanneh9550 contributionsA must do while in Alexandria!Our tour guide, Mahmoud, was excellent and immersed us in the Egyptian culture. He shared many traditional Egyptian dishes with us as we toured the city. He was very accommodating and worked with us regarding how adventurous we wanted to be regarding the food. We typical don’t eat liver or sweet breads, so those weren’t on our menu. However, if you enjoy those foods plus other more adventurous foods, Mahmoud will find it for you! He was also willing to take us to the museums and other tourists spots. So, come prepared with a personalized itinerary to fill your time and be ready for Mahmoud to tell you all the facts about the amazing sights and tastes of this wonderful city: Alexandria! Thanks, Mahmoud for a wonderful day! Cheers!Written October 12, 2024
- Travel586618793750 contributionsAmazing tour with AblaTo say my tour guide, Abla is well-versed on the topic of ancient Egypt, is an understatement! She has a Doctorate in Archeology who speaks at least 4 languages that i know of! She was an amazing woman to meet and share the day with. On top of all her knowledge, she is a great photographer as well! I can't recommend her enough for any tour that you really want to learn the history about what you are visiting.Written October 11, 2024

- Something N0 contributionsBook it!As a solo female traveler, it is important that I feel safe and comfortable. Momo made sure of both! His knowledge of the city's history while also being entertaining and attentive was a nice balance. I liked that he catered the tour to my preferences. The horse ride was a perfect change of pace! I recommend this tour!Written September 19, 2024
- 786josephinev0 contributionsIncredible trip to AlexandriaThe driver was incredibly sweet, made sure the car had the A/C on after every attraction and that water was readily available to us. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and charismatic, always willing to answer our questions and made sure we saw the attractions at a convenient time.Written September 17, 2024
- Kimberly J0 contributionsSolo femaleI had already visited several sites in Cairo but wanted to see a few more. I just gave a list of places to visit and they made it happen! Very accommodating. And very knowledgeable. Highly recommend.Written September 17, 2024
- Kimberly J0 contributionsSolo female travelerThe driver by himself deserves a 5/5 just because of his excellent driving skills! My guide was very accommodating and changed the schedule to visit some things that I was interested in. Highly recommend the library - beautiful! As a solo female traveler I felt very safe with these guys.Written September 16, 2024
- m_passpartout0 contributionsA wonderful day of learning about Coptic Cairo with Manar, our excellent guide and friend.Manar, our expert tour guide to Coptic Christian sites, and Deuce Azhar, our expert driver, provided a wonderful day of learning the culture and history of Coptic Cairo in a friendly, relaxed environment. Manar has a deep knowledge of the Coptic’s and clearly explained the architecture and symbolisms of the churches. There was a mystery around every corner because we are keen to notice features that more hurried visitors overlook. At each stop, Manar would guide us through the site, then give us free time to carefully photograph our visits. She showed great patience in allowing us to record these special memories and encouraged us to not rush but take whatever time we needed. This would not be possible on a group tour! One site that we had seen on YouTube but had not planned to see was the unique recycling village of “Garbage City”, a large neighborhood where all manner of freight vehicles - trucks, motorcycles, hand carts, bicycles, cars - haul giant loads of materials sorted by the residents from trash piles to sell. Manar was quick to resolve a logistics problem when we could not access our tickets to the Coptic Museum due to a technical issue. She offered us several solutions, one being a switch to a sail with lunch on a felucca on the Nile. It was a calm fantastic experience after driving through city traffic. The boat captain she arranged for us did more than pilot the boat. He entertained us, suggested photo poses and encouraged my wife and I to slow dance to his playing of Nat King Cole’s “What a Wonderful World.” Manar suggested photos with the Cairo background and posed with us for a few lifetime memories of today in this “Wonderful World.” We could not recommend Manar and this Viator tour more highly in your visit to Cairo. Let her and Deuce Azhar manage the hectic roads and stress of Cairo so you can do what you came for: to learn about this culture and history and enjoy Cairo.Written August 12, 2024

- Meander5385900 contributionsGreat tour of AlexandriaOur day started rough with me being in a lot of pain. We went from Cairo to Alexandria with our excellent driver. Upon arriving to Alexandria we met Momo our tour guide. With the help of my friend, driver and Momo our trip to Alexandria was amazing 🤩 Momo is very knowledgeable and very patient with me and my discomfort, but overall he made this trip fun and pleasant. He is a very kind tour guide all the locals love him and the city pets also look forward to see Momo. This tour is very well worth it, and our lunch was delishhhhhhhhh 😋. I high recommend this tour and ask for Momo 🤗Written May 2, 2024
- stevegG8155KC0 contributionsTrip to the City that Alexander the Great built, Julius Caesar conquered, and I ate lunch.We had a great trip! Our driver sliced through the Egypt traffic like a hot knife through humus. Our tour guide was Momo, and he did a great job of telling the history and getting us to all the important photo ops. The catacombs, the Roman Amphitheater, the Library. We had a great lunch, put our feet in the Mediterranean Sea, and then headed back to Cairo. It was a great day!Written April 28, 2024

Mahmoud is such a sweetheart - he will do everything he possibly can to ensure you have the best possible experience. You can see from the way he deals with you that he does his work from the heart and truly cares that you feel satisfied. He showed me all the areas I wanted to see in Alexandria with lots of historical detail and funny anecdotes. He knows all the local spots and never fails to surprise you with new ideas! Would 100% recommend!!!

Great experience with Mo. He does an excellent job showing you the real side of Alexandria while also sharing the most important historical and cultural sites. Very easy to converse along the way. I learned a lot and enjoyed my time.

Momo was amazing
He was patient and gracious. He turned the tour into a food tour as well. So many sites to see and ended up seeing much more than we thought. He was amazing and I strongly suggest you try to get a tour with Momo. It was a wonderful day.

Mo is such an amazing guide! My husband and I did the walking tour with him and we just loved him and fell in love with Alexandria because of him. He was very flexible and understanding of our changing schedule because of travel mishaps. He was extremely accommodating. He explained everything very well and he added the tour to the catacombs last minute, although it was not part of the walking tour. In the evening he also showed us the bibliotheca. He is very passionate and knowledgeable about Egyptian and Alexandrian history and culture! Highly recommend him to anyone visiting Alexandria.
