5 star tour with Shery
We really enjoyed the tour today - it was well organised, and Shery our tour guide was informative, friendly and really intelligent. She was really fun and helpful, and had incredible English so was easy to follow and understand. A great itinerary of Alexandria and a good mix of things to see. Our only suggestion would be for lunch to be before the library as people were quite hungry by then (around 1pm). Otherwise really enjoyed it - thank you 😊

Great Driver and Guide
The tour itself is fine, but the staff are excellent. We were fortunate enough to get a tour with Bilal and Nirmal. Bilal is a fantastic driver, navigating difficult traffic between Cairo and Alexandria with ease and grace. Nirmal was wonderful and perfectly balanced information with autonomy. Didn’t try to upsell tours to the perfume shop or extra and very knowledgeable about the area.

Mediocre tour service and guide
We scheduled this tour to Alexandria from Cairo based on my chatting with Viator agent. The price was average. The Private de luxe transportation was an old van for the four adults, driver spoke poor English, he tried but was frustrating, it was a non smoking vehicle but he smoke outside constantly and brought the stink of cigarette smoking inside of the van. The worse part was the guide in Alexandria, her English was poor, she tried to talk fast, the whole time she was tried to get it over, ignored our interests, very interested in us visiting the stores of we believe are their friends. Rushed thru the experience. We had traveled over 72 countries and 5 continents and this has been one of ours “no good”. I recommend that you check with the concierge of your hotel for recommendations, you may pay more but it may be worth it. Alexandria is an interesting place but 12 hours appears to be enough.

Excellent Day Trip To Alexandria
Our tour guide Heba is very experienced and knowledgeable. The trip is also designed pretty well: departing from Cairo Airport at 6:30 am and returning by 5:45 pm after visiting six attractions. The restaurant next to Mediterranean Sea is amazing and the lunch was so good! Thanks Heba and Mohammod (driver)! -Jeff, Kim, Jane, Ke
