The activity developed was as indicated on the website. The guide in Spanish (H) and the driver of the car that took us on the excursion were excellent. The restaurant where we had lunch was top notch. All the visits that were offered in the chosen option were largely satisfactory. Thanks for everything!! I definitely recommend!!
I haven t had the experience.. I was told the driver had an accident at 10:30 A.M. I don't want to give 1 star because Viator understood and will refund me.. But still I had a bad experience too bad not to have done Alexandria
Long day but enjoyable and informative. Guide and driver great. Favourite place was the catacombs. We did have a malfunction on the way home but it was handled professionally.
A day in Alexandria was the most, thanks to my Guide, for the explanation, for the patience and for making me feel super comfortable, for transmitting each story in the different places, amazing thanks
We spend a wonderful, informative but relaxing day in Alexandria with our tour guide, Rania. The driver picked us up from our hotel in Cairo in a clean, comfortable & air-conditioned car. We were offered coffee, mango juice, water, and snacks on the way to Alexandria. Our guide spoke perfect English, allowed us plenty of time to take photos, and gave us a great tour of all the sites to see in Alexandria. We had a delicious seafood dinner at a local restaurant with phenomenal views of the Mediterranean Sea. We highly recommend this tour of Alexandria ias a must when visiting Egypt food. ♥️
This was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Rania is an incredible tour guide. We felt comfortable and at home with her. We went to all the sites listed and learnt so much. We loved the Citadel the most; it’s a destination not to miss in Alexandria. The drive from Cairo was long but our driver Ahmed was awesome and took good care of us. Rania took us to a great fish restaurant on the Nile where the queen of Spain once ate! We enjoyed the food and the restaurant accommodated our dietary restrictions. I wish I met Rania on our first day and booked all my tours with her. Emo tours also is the most upstanding one thus far. They have strict rules and do not ask for reviews and are very professional!
