Alexandria Half day Tour

We booked the half-day excursion, since we were in Alexandria for one day by ship. We were especially pleased that this excursion was booked as a "Language - German, guided tour." The process matched the description, although an additional 15 USD per person had to be paid in cash at the bus for the German-speaking guide. The booking was practically far cheaper than the excursion as a whole.

The guide couldn’t speak English. We had to communicate through his phone app, which was nearly impossible. So we cut our tour short and returned to the port. Very disappointed.

Great Family Experience We had a wonderful time on this Alexandria half-day tour with our family. Everything was well organized, from the hotel pickup to the visits to the Alexandria National Museum and the beautiful Qaitbay Citadel. The tour was a great way to see some of Alexandria’s highlights without feeling rushed, and traveling in a small group made the experience comfortable and enjoyable. Our family really enjoyed learning about the city’s history and taking in the beautiful views, especially around the Citadel. Overall, it was a lovely experience and definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Alexandria. We would happily recommend this tour to families and anyone visiting Alexandria for the first time. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Our tour guide took us to Alexandria with a great driver picking us up at t he right time. On first glance you see the ocean lapping thr shoreline. Visited the Library and Qaitbay Castle. We enjoyed a great seafood lunch. Best experience highly recommend this company, excellent service.

We were collected late in a shabby taxi. No air con, except opening a window, no water and a driver who could only say hello and good bye in English, anything else on translate on his phone. Collected at 8.00 first stop Alexandria museum, however this doesn’t open until 9.oo so sat in taxi for too long. Have used Viator before and it was excellent, but this was very poor.

Private car around Alexandria, visiting the museum and citadel Both covered in a morning 3 hours or so There is no guide, but you can wander at your own pace , you will get hassled by locals wanting a tip The museum can be covered in 30 minutes, minute compared to the museums in Cairo About an hour covers the citadel The driver I had spoke very little English , I did book an English tour , we managed to converse via translate Just a scratch on the surface of this city

It started out a bit rough due to a misunderstanding about the meeting place, but Atef came through and made the day wonderful. He took us to some beautiful spots around Alexandria and even stopped so we buy an exotic fruit called estha ( atis in our country). To top it off, he treated us to ice cream at the end! Thank you, Atef, for your kindness and for making our experience so enjoyable.

When you book a tour that advertises a “guide,” you expect at least some commentary, insights, and facts about the city. Unfortunately, our “guide” — a friendly man from Cairo — spoke very little English and didn’t share any information about Alexandria or the sites we visited. I’ve had more engaging conversations with regular taxi drivers. The Alexandria National Museum was small and rather run-down. Nothing particularly memorable. Qaitbay Citadel, on the other hand, was a highlight. We were fortunate to meet a guard who kindly showed us around and made the visit worthwhile. We’ve had excellent experiences with Viator in the past, but this tour was a complete disappointment.

Guide had to use notes about each stop and the local history of Alexandria. Van was very over crowded. Seats had to be moved every time we stopped.
