Hello, I would really like to thank you all for making my trip more than perfect. I loved today. I loved Hanza and Ahmad. I also loved Mohamed yesterday, and the day before that, I loved all the drivers, coordinators, and guides. A huge thank you to you all ❤️
Excellent tour, with a fabulous guide and in Alexandria with a guide full of knowledge and taste for what he did, always respecting what he had to show us and what really interested us. Thank you 🙏
If you only have one day available, this tour is an excellent way to experience Alexandria. It’s a full day with about four hours of sightseeing in the city, making it perfect for travelers who want a great introduction without staying overnight. The itinerary included the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, the impressive Roman Amphitheater, where the acoustics are remarkable, the stunning Bibliotheca Alexandrina, and the Citadel of Qaitbay, built on the site of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria. Each stop offered something unique and helped us appreciate the city’s incredible history. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and our driver was outstanding. Although he didn’t speak English, we were able to communicate using Google Translate whenever needed. It worked well for us, but if having direct communication with your driver is important, it’s something to keep in mind. One of the highlights of the day was lunch. I asked if we could have seafood, and the guide took us to a beautiful restaurant overlooking the Mediterranean. The food, the view, and the atmosphere made for a memorable experience. The drive from Cairo takes about three hours each way, but the highways felt safe and well maintained. If this is your first time in Egypt, don’t be surprised by the local driving style or by how people cross the streets—it’s simply different from what many visitors may be used to. The good news is that you can relax and enjoy the scenery while someone else does the driving. Overall, I highly recommend this tour. It offers a great balance of history, culture, beautiful scenery, and excellent food, making it a fantastic introduction to Alexandria for first-time visitors.
The tour with Mahmoud was great. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about sharing the history of Alexandria and the buildings. Our driver was great too. He took great care of us driving throughout the day.
Reem was our guide. Very knowledgeable and pleasant. 10/10 Saw the main sites. Taxi man was pleasant and on time Everything was great. Would recommend to anyone
I booked this tour for my parents and they really enjoyed the whole day, they said the guide and driver were great too.
A+++++++ Mahmoud was an excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Also open to suggestions. Highly recommended.
The journey from Cairo and back is long but well worth the hassle Visited Fantastic sites made better by our knowledgable guide who accompanied us and provided information and answered all our queries. Thanks to our driver also
We are from Taiwan 🇹🇼. Our guide Reem is very nice and we have best lunch spots with ocean views. Our driver is super good. We really enjoy our tour. Highly recommended 👍
We were promptly picked up from our hotel by our kind and professional driver, Waleed in a comfortable van. The 3 hours journey was seamless. Waleed provided us with water and pointed out important landmarks along the way. Our guide in Alexandra was knowledgeable about the history of catacombs and Citadel of Qaitbay. Lunch was at a local restaurant overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. I highly recommend Emo Tours Egypt and will definitely use again.
