Ancient and Modern Alexandria
Booking our tour with Go Luxor was the absolute right choice. My friend and I had a wonderfully personalized experience, complete with a private pickup and stunning views of the sights we’ve been longing to see. They even accommodated our request to experience authentic Egyptian food with the locals. We never once felt unsafe or unsupported, and our guide, Aya, was fantastic and incredibly attentive.

Great trip to Alexandria
Our tour to Alexandria was on the last day of our Egypt trip, and it was amazing! We loved seeing the catacombs and the lunch was delicious with a great view (fish since we were on the Mediterranean). We loved loved loved the library of Alexandria! It was so cool to see and I really enjoyed hearing about how it was designed to be open yet still muffled and not loud. The museums in the library were interesting as well. It was a great experience! Our guide, Francis, was very knowledgable and we had a fun time with him on our tours.

Day trip to Alexandria
Go Luxor Tours review - Alexandria:
I did the day trip to Alexandria, booked it through Viator. And I was so grateful it was this company: Go Luxor Tours!! It was the best experience hands down! Compared with 3 others companies I used. Had I known how amazing this Go Luxor Tours was, I would have used them for all of my tours. In fact I cancelled one tour to request this tour company and guide. My initial contact was with Michael Samir, and he is so organized and communicated very well. Another tour company contacted me to move another booked excursion which affected my booked Alexandria trip. I contacted Michael at Go Luxor Tours and he was able to assist me to move this Alexandria tour to another date. Excellent customer service and very personable! Also, Michael emailed me to confirm and notify me the name of my tour guide: Francis. This is very helpful and just nice knowing the details. Haha, in fact he even double confirmed the tour! Super organized, and you can truly ask him anything!
My Alexandria tour guide was Francis! And words can’t begin to express how knowledgeable, kind, and welcoming he is! I felt right at home on a tour away from home. He explained everything and answered all my questions. Francis is so passionate about Egyptian history! (For those that need WiFi... it was available on the excursion). He even shared his coffee and bread with me. Even when we were walking in uneven places he watched to make sure I was ok, and wouldn’t fall. Oh my goodness, and pictures... lol Francis has so many great ideas of taking pictures and took so many of me too! I’m definitely coming back to Egypt... and I will only be using Go Luxor Tours! And if possible... I want to be connected to Francis... for all my tours!! :)
