Excursión de un día a El Cairo desde el puerto de Alejandría y los hoteles de Alejandría

We actually arranged this tour 24 hours before we went!! They were very responsive in putting this together for us and we were so thrilled to see the pyramids!!! They picked us up from the Port of Alexandria and drove us to and from Cairo which is 2.5 hrs each way. Our local guide was so informative and allowed us to also learn about living in Egypt!

We had the best experience with our guide, Mohamed, and driver, Rami. The operator, Mirette Tours, was extraordinary right from our first communication with them. They were super responsive on WhatsApp and answered our many questions. About a week before our scheduled date, they messaged us to confirm pick-up location and whether we wanted to make arrangements in advance for camel rides and entry into the pyramids. The day before our arrival in Alexandria, they sent us the name of our guide, his WhatsApp number, and the meet-up point. We arrived in Alexandria by cruise ship and met up with our guide and driver outside the cruise port gate at 7:00am, after walking past all the cruise excursion buses and over a bridge. Mohamed provided us with a photo of himself so we could easily locate him. The vehicle was perfect; a large 13-seater minivan for our small group of 5 + driver and guide, and the AC worked well. We headed off immediately, but our tour guide informed us that we would be stopping at a gas station near Alexandria Gate/Toll on the highway because the fog was too thick and the main road was closed until it cleared. We ended up waiting over 2 hours. Nothing could be done about this, and all the cruise ship buses were in the exact same situation as us. We, at least, had Mohamed explaining what was going on, a coffee shop, a bathroom, and the ability to walk around while waiting. Once the fog cleared, we were able to get to Cairo in about 2.5 hours. Mohamed let us relax, but also chimed in every once in a while to explain something along the road and to answer our questions. Our experience at the Pyramids of Giza was outstanding! We had a passenger with some mobility restrictions and Mohamed and Rami somehow managed to get permission for our vehicle to enter the pyramid complex so they could drive us directly to the various pyramids and stops. The camel rides went very well (4 of us at the same time; no scam!) and the experience going inside the pyramids was well coordinated (one of us went in, the others waiting 20 minutes with the guide). Mohamed knew what he was doing, and we appreciated how he always explained things, never rushed us, and interfered with local hagglers and security when needed. We honestly could not have asked for a better experience. The guided tour of the Egyptian Museum was also excellent, and we could tell our guide was passionate. Our "lunch" ended up being a dinner, since everything got delayed due to the morning fog, and we would not have had time to visit the museum if we went to lunch first. The restaurant was excellent. The selection of Egyptian food was good, and none of us got sick from it, which was one of our initial concerns about eating in Egypt. After our meal, it was past 7:30pm and we decided to skip going to Khan Al-Khalili since we were tired. It took over 3 hours to drive back to Alexandria from Giza, and we got back at 11:30pm. This was an almost 17-hour day; well worth it, but definitely exhausting. Overall 10/10 experience. Everything in the listing was accurate. Many water bottles were provided. Our guide and driver were extremely flexible and accommodating to our group. Thank you, Mohamed and Rami!

Dina lead us on a lovely day to Giza and The Egyptian Museum of History and Antiquities. Great naritive and accommodated our slow pace. It was all we hoped for. The driver was helpful along the way

We had Kyrillos as our tour guide. He was amazing, we had a fun action packed day. He's very knowledgeable, kind and caring. He went out of his way to make sure we had the best day.

Fabulous tour guide who went out of his way to make the tour interesting and allowed us to set the pace.

Dina was an energetic guide and navigated the crowds effortlessly. Mohammed was a skillful driver and we had a clean and air conditioned vehicle. Gerges in the office communicated well and promptly would use the company again

We arrived by cruise ship into the port of Alexandria, and our guide and driver were waiting right at the port gate. From the start, everything ran smoothly. The driver was an expert at navigating the busy traffic, and our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and communicative throughout the day. We visited the Egyptian Museum in Cairo and then continued on to the Pyramids of Giza. We had plenty of time at each stop, and our guide made sure we saw everything we wanted to. The whole experience was seamless. We were completely satisfied.
