Alexandria Full Private Day Tour

My wife and I booked two private tours with Cairo Top Tours during our trip to Egypt, and we were very happy with the experience. We did a full-day Alexandria tour, including the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, Pompey’s Pillar, and the Citadel of Qaitbay. We also did a guided visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum. Everything was well organized. Communication was clear, the drivers were reliable, and both days ran smoothly. Our guide, Michael, was excellent. He explained the history clearly, answered our questions, adjusted the pace well, and made both tours feel personal rather than scripted. We also enjoyed learning some Arabic words and phrases with him during the trip. The private tour format was the right choice for us. It gave us flexibility, comfort, and a much better understanding of what we were seeing. We would recommend Cairo Top Tours, especially for travellers who want a well-organized private tour in Cairo or Alexandria.

We booked a customized Suez Canal tour and were assigned a wonderful Egyptologist guide, Isaac, together with a very kind and friendly driver, Belal. Both of them made the whole trip comfortable, smooth, and enjoyable from start to finish. They were very accommodating. They brought us to several great spots to view the Suez Canal and watch the ships passing through. We first visited an area near the southern end of the canal, then had a delicious seafood lunch while enjoying the view of ships travelling to the Red Sea. We were also lucky to see both military vessels and huge commercial container ships passing by. After that, we drove up to Port Said and took the ferry across to Port Fouad and back again — crossing between Africa and Asia in just a few minutes felt surreal! Mr. Isaac also kindly took us on a short walk around the Port Fouad area, where we enjoyed some ice cream as the sun setting before making our way back to Cairo. A special shoutout to Mr. Isaac who is incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely passionate on introducing Egypt. Throughout the tour, he shared so many interesting stories and explanations, from ancient Egyptian history to modern Egyptian culture, language, and daily life. It felt less like a standard tour and more like spending the day learning from someone who truly loves what he does. It was such a fun, relaxing, and enriching experience overall. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an insightful day trip beyond the usual tour!

Very good day trip.we used a local guide for duration of trip, well worth it , v professional and knowledgeable, made a huge difference. Lunched at a splendid seafood restaurant with was superb. Highly recommend this company and would definitely use again

We chose this agency to do a day trip to Alexandria, Egypt, we were a group of cruisers and I must say we were really good. The guide was fantastic, spoke very well the Italian language and even a little Sicilian dialect. In the group we were present some Sicilians and then he called us "Gruppo Ciuri Ciuri" singing us also a piece of song. Really too nice and super helpful. He accompanied us throughout the day, together with another guy, always with a smile and kindness.

​⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We chose Cairo top tour for the Alexandria day trip and were absolutely thrilled. From the moment of booking, Antonella's assistance was clear and professional. The organization on site was impeccable: the pickup was on time and the vehicle was comfortable and clean. Our guide, he was the real star. Not only was she extremely cultured and spoke excellent Italian, but she also instilled passion in every explanation, from Pompey’s Column to the Library. His advice and anecdotes made us feel completely immersed in the history of this fascinating city. If you are looking for a safe, well-planned and deeply enriching experience to explore Alexandria, be in no doubt: book with them! I highly recommend them and hope to travel with them again in the future.

From minute 1 it was all fantastically arranged! Great guide Mortas was waiting for us, we had a Fine comfortable bus with water bottles and air conditioning. Then we left for Cairo, where we got lunch at a rooftop bar with a view over the whole city. Then we drove on for a visit to the pyramids and sphinx. At the pyramids have also ridden camels. Then it was time for the quad tour through the desert. Very nice cool special experience with the pyramids in the background and the setting sun. Then we were dropped off at a fantastically beautiful hotel where we stayed overnight. The next morning we enjoyed a top breakfast and then we were picked up again and we visited 2 more churches and a mosque. The guide Ibrahim gave clear info and it was not too long-winded. As a surprise we also visited the lotus garden with oil and perfumes. Finally we went for lunch and then the bus took us back to the Port of Alexandria. All in all had 2 great days, learned and seen a lot and would definitely recommend this trip! I also had 2 kids of 10 and 13 with me who also loved it.

We had a beautiful trip with our family of 19! I enjoyed the tours with my kids and family. Thanks to Moataz, Ibrahim and Mika for all the time, stories and helping and guiding us. We had a perfect hotel and 2 nice days!

We had a super tour with guide Moataz, Ibrahim and Mika. Seen the pyramids, camel riding, atv tour in Sahara, churches and mosques. We slept at a perfect hotel with super good breakfast, and many more nice things. The guides were super nice and helped us good. I will recomment it to everyone for young and older people.

We had a great day with a lot of historical locations arranged from a to z and led by Moataz, Ibrahim and their colleagues. A good recommendation if you ever visit Egypt.

Alexandria is the pearl of the Mediterranean , we always wanted to see the bibliotech of Alexandria and the Citadelwhere the lighthouse once stood and walk around the corniche
