Description

Explore how the Mediterranean Sea was during historical times: Opportunity to Create Unique Photos on Your Visit to Egypt 

Immerse yourself in the Ptolemaic era, Greek & Roman period, and Byzantine durations.

In this guided tour with an expert tour guide (with experience of at least 15 years—this tour guide knows everything about Alexandria’s culture and history, knowing well how to make you create the best memories ever with outstanding photos), you arrive at Alexandria by private air-conditioned vehicle.

Meet the Mediterranean Sea and Pompey’s Pillar; let your tour guide uncover why this pillar is called by this name and the mysteries of its pharaonic stones in the Roman era! What about those pharaonic statues?! Then move to the Greek times in the Serapis Temple directly next to Pompey’s Pillar.

The unique mix of the eras in Alexandria is waiting for you in one place that combines all these times, including the Pharaonic eras, wandering amid the Catacombs of Kom El Shokafa while teeming with decorations from the Pharaonic, Roman, and Greek times.

Amazing photos that enrich your life memories will be taken when going down to the depths of these catacombs, up to 25 meters, amid those dazzling decorations of the Pharaonic, Roman, and Greek gods.

Uncover the mummification process through the Roman eras, and then move on to the guided tour of the Alexandria Library.

Embark on a guided, cozy tour that takes you to view the waves while touching the strongest citadel built in the Middle Ages; it is a dazzling site, Qaitbay Citadel, that will make you create your memories in the heart of the historical Mediterranean Sea.

Experience a fresh fish lunch with me on the Mediterranean Sea.

We had a great quad bike ride in the afternoon. The guide had a great energy and humor that made the tour extra good. On the way to the tour we had a driver that shouldn't be driving tourist, but when we told it to the company they gave us a another driver that drove perfect so we could relax in the car. That's a good and professional way of handling a problem. We can recommend this company.

We booked a tour with Golavita, Mr Akram was very quick to respond to our questions and checked in with us daily to see how the tour was going. Waleed, the tour guide, was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The bottles of water to keep us hydrated was also a very nice addition. The private transport was top class, modern air conditioned vehicles and friendly and helpful drivers.

We went in the Safari and Paradise Island boat trip. Both were very well organised, great activities and the transfer made by driver was on time! I recommend especially the Paradise Island trip! The views on the island are amazing and the boat trip until there has such grest service on the boat (snorkeling, lunch, drinks).

We had the best guide ever, Ashraf! He is super skilled with a big heart. We became friends. I could definitely recommend Ashraf and the guided travels he does!
(5/5)
We had booked airport transfers from Hurgada airport to our resort in May 2022 and our experience was excellent. What sets this company apart was the responsive service we got through WhatsApp messaging. You may not be aware of this but meeting a taxi driver at airport is not so easy or obvious as the security personnel does not allow drivers in or even standing by the entrance. It all was resolved easily by WhatsApp communication. I cannot overstate how important is having a rapid response when something does not go as you would expect. Thank you Ashraf. I am aware this company does much more than airport transfers: while I did not use any during my stay, I wouldnot hesitate to recommend this organisation to plan for your excursion needsin Hurghada. Update April 2023: Used them again for this trip booking through Hoppa, same excellent service.
(5/5)
Very kind and profesional people. In every trip that I went with them, all details were taking care of. Ashraf is the most knowledgeable tour guide that I ever met in my life. You will go on a trip and come back as friends. I highly recommend golavita Tours!
