The day trip to Alexandria could not have been a better day trip from Cairo. We went to the catacombs, the Roman ruins and the Citidel. Everything was very authentic and the tour guide was thorough and detailed in pointing out important places along way. It made for a perfect day trip.
This was a decent tour for a reasonable price. The tour provided a brief overview of the Greek-Roman history of the city. Our guide was knowledgeable but a bit disengaged, leaving us to explore some of the sites on our own. The tour was reasonably priced given that the transportation to and from our Giza hotel was included. We enjoyed the sites we saw but, based on our experience, I wouldn't really recommend taking a whole day of your vacation for this tour.
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We truly appreciate your honest comments. We are pleased to know that you found the tour reasonably priced and that you enjoyed the sites you visited. The Greco-Roman heritage of the city is one of its most fascinating historical layers, and this tour is actually one of the most popular experiences among our guests who are interested in exploring that unique period of history. Regarding the guide’s approach, our guides are trained not only to provide historical explanations but also to allow guests some free time at certain sites. Many travelers appreciate the opportunity to explore independently, take photos, or enjoy the surroundings at their own pace. However, we completely understand that preferences may vary, and some guests prefer a more continuously guided experience. Your feedback is very valuable to us, and we will certainly share it with our team to ensure we continue improving and balancing guided explanations with free exploration time. Thank you again for choosing us, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for another experience in the future.
I recommend not missing this experience, everything was great. Alexandria has a great historical heritage (what I liked most were the catacombs, the palace and the 3 mosques), and seeing it in person is even more impressive. Zizou, the guide, knows absolutely everything you could ask him, he is clear and provides a wealth of knowledge. He is punctual and flexible when necessary. I will repeat tours with this company without hesitation, everything is very professional.
Took a private car trip with my wife from Cairo to Alexandria for the day. The team of Hosni (guide) & Ehab (driver) did an excellent job getting us to Alexandria smoothly and quickly. We saw all the best sights, skipped the lines, had an amazing fish lunch, and got back on time. Hosni even arranged a few extra bonus stops to suit our individual needs. Highly recommend!!!!!
Cairo to Alexandria made for a great day trip! My driver was timely, the guide (hi Hosni!) was super knowledgeable and friendly, and I felt safe & entertained the entire time. Hosni took me through the catacombs, the pillar, the library, and the Roman amphitheater. He also gave a helpful overview of Egyptian history and politics, informing everything we saw on the drive to/from Alexandria. A long day, but absolutely with it.
Amazing guide and driver, very nice car. Driver kindly agreed to go to the local restaurant we wanted and was stopping by cafes on the way
We had a private day trip from Cairo to Alexandria. Our tour guide was Zanaty Mohy. We fully enjoyed the day trip. He took us to the places of great historical significance. He explained everything thing in details. We found him knowledgeable, humble and having a good sense of humour. We had a memorable day trip. We will highly recommend Zanaty Mohamed as a tour guide for any such trip.
My wife and I drove up to Alexandria from Cairo with our good tour guide (Zanaty Mohamed) nick name Zizou and safe driver Ehab. We visited the Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa (they were amazing and fascinating to visit), the Alexandria museum (also a great place to see with in-house guide), fort Qaitbey, the serapeum and Pompey’s Pillar, the Roman amphitheatre and a couple of other things. All are within a close distance and with Zizou’s educated and well presented guidance through the sites it was a great day out seeing the highlights of Alexandria. I had my first paddle in the Mediterranean Sea there. Although I would only recommend 1-2 days there. Thanks again Zizou for your professional and friendly company Neil and Kathy
My wife and I took a day tour from Cairo to Alexandria. It was a complete blast! Our driver was safe and the van accommodations were extremely comfortable. Our tour guide Mohamed Gomaa was knowledgeable, patient, funny and gave great information. The sites on the tour are as advertised. We would recommend this tour and Mohamed to anyone.
Our guide Mahmoud Badr and driver Omar were excellent. Mahmoud had exceptional knowledge of Egypt and answered many questions throughout our tour. He was not pushy and let us do parts of the tour that we asked, and also let us remove parts that we did not want. Omar was a very skilled driver and we felt very comfortable. We highly recommend both of them on a tour to Alexandria!
