Private Tagestour nach Alexandria ab Kairo

The trip to Alexandria was great! The drive from Cairo was smooth and Mohammed was an excellent driver! When we arrived we met our guide and she handled the tour with knowledge and fun! I would absolutely recommend a visit to Alexandria if you have a day or if you have a long layover in Cairo!! ******PLEASE NOTE******* This operator does not allow for airport pick up when setting up the reservation. If you want the airport they will message you and tell you there is a $15 USD per person fee each way. They called it an airport charge. THIS CHARGE IS NOT REAL. Our “all in” price was $451.00 Canadian for two people. The round trip of $60 USD added another $84 Canadian to our experience. All this before gratuity. Do yourself a favour and either meet at a hotel or find a different booking site or company Viator uses for the trip to avoid the hidden fees. Go to Alexandria…it’s a beautiful look into Greco/Roman Egypt!

We needed to be back in Cairo earlier than the trip to Alexandria warranted, and Shaimaa, our fantastic guide for the day, was set a really hard task by us to cram in our sightseeing. She rose to the challenge brilliantly. We had a great tour of Alexandria. Shaimaa is incredibly knowledgable and thoughtful. The additional background and stories that she wove into her narrative were fantastic. She is highly articulate as well as highly knowledgable and spoke clearly, at pace and at just the right volume. We learned so much. The catacombs are a remarkable melding of cultures and traditions and the library, like the GEM, an impressive modern Egyptian monument. Thank you Shaimaa for all your patience and knowledge. Also thanks to Omar for being so responsive on text and dealing with the pickup misunderstanding so promptly.

From the owner Omar reaching out and sorting my booking as soon as I paid, to him helping me when I made a mistake on another booking, to Mohamed meeting us early at the airport and teaching us Arabic as well as driving lessons, to Aalaa being an amazing guide in Alexandria, the day trip was everything I was hoping for and more! If you’ve a layover in Cairo or want an excellent day trip, do not hesitate to book with Omar and Egypt Tours Getaway! Thank you all for making our first day great!

Aalaa was a great guide! Very friendly and knowledgeable about all the sites we toured. Highly recommend.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As a family of 6 we traveled from Cairo to Alexandria with a private driver picking us up from the hotel. The Diver was good, the car-mini bus was clean, new and comfortable. We met the private tour guide Marwa in Alexandria by the 1st site, the tour covered the mentioned sites as advertise, but Marwa wasn't very engaging, it would have been nice to hear bit more history about the visited sites. The lunch was in a nice restaurant by the seaside overlooking the castle and the food vas high quality. Overall very good tour and we would do it again.

Speedy transportation. Great food. Amazing historical sites. Alexandria is a beautiful coastal city!

The coastline for Alexandria is stunning. Outside of that, its probably my least favorite place in Egypt. There is more tombs to visit, but nothing overly captivating. The citadel was the nicest thing to see. We had lunch included in our tour and the restaurant we went to was pure chaos. It also didn't help that no one knew what was going on. The driver and the guides were great and tried to make us very comfortable. Mahmoud made a lasting impression on parents - so much so that they asked for him to take them around the following day. Nona was sweet and gentle with both my parents as well.

This tour delivers as advertised The driver was prompt at my downtown hotel which was not on the list and did a great job of negotiating Egyptian traffic for the day The guide “Ella” who has a background in archaeology and tourist guide did a wonderful job in presenting the details and background stories on the catacombs, Pompey’s pillar, ancient Roman theatre, the library of Alexandria, Qaitbay Cidadel and providing a fresh fish lunch on the coast Both were extremely friendly and informative I had a wonderful day and hope those reading this have the good fortune to share a day with this tour

Our driver and guide were both warm, friendly and responsive to our requests and their English was exceptional. It was a long day and we saw so much. Our guide was emerging as a guide and I would suggest that she improve her knowledge of the sites, but I really liked her and I know her knowledge will improve. I'm glad I went to Alexandria to experience it's wonders.

I had an excellent experience with my guide Eslam in Alexandria, Egypt. He was knowledgeable, well-organized, and explained the city’s history in a clear and engaging way. The tour covered the most important landmarks, including the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, Qaitbay Citadel, and the beautiful Mediterranean Corniche, without feeling rushed. He also shared useful local tips that made the visit much more enjoyable. We stopped at a fantastic seafood restaurant known for its fresh fish and traditional Alexandrian flavors. The food was high quality, well-prepared, and truly reflected the local cuisine. The driver was extremely careful and diligent, always punctual and respectful, which made the entire trip feel safe and comfortable. Overall, this was a smooth, memorable experience and a great way to discover Alexandria. I highly recommend this guide and service to any tourist visiting the city.
