Excellent tour ever! Meilleur agence de voyage ! - Badr Bibo is the best guide and driver ever to visit Alexandria in Égypte. He takes the time to make me visit all the great places such as the castle, library Kom,… I highly recommande this tour and Bibo. Thank you very much!

Nice day trip to Alexandria - Ahmed picked us up on time from our hotel and drove us to Alexandria. He drove safe and was pleasant company too. We found him to be a refreshing change from the usual pushy tour drivers and guides. Shireen was our guide for the day and she took us an across highlights of Alexandria - the catacombs, the citadel, library and the Roman amphitheater. She shared the history with us and gave us time to explore on our own as well. The weather was also pretty good and Alexandria was a nice day trip after spending time in Cairo and Luxor. Thank you!

Day trip to Alexandria. - Wonderful day, started early from Cairo. Great driver is key, Sayed was awesome, feels like traffic in Cairo or Alexandria is a game of inches, and Sayed maneuvered beautifully from site to site and back to my hotel. Amazing job. My guide, whose name I gave up on pronouncing or spelling was great. Very knowledgeable and took her time with the important rundown of every site, from the Roman amphitheater to the library to the Citadel and Mosque. So much culture to cram into a day, but felt like a breeze due to my guide’s easily memorable breakdown of important things. Great company, great employees made the day so memorable and special. Lots of driving, lots of info, but so worth it. A must.

Driver and guide were... - Driver and guide were good. Parts of the trip weren't really for me tho, but I was just trying to fill time. Guide had an issue getting the pre paid tickets and asked me to buy them on my card and she'd give me cash. This was not acceptable and lost stars as a result. Apart from that as advertised.

Nice but be-aware of the fog! - We had to wait almost 2 hours next to the side of the highway because of fog. This made the trip feel long but the castle and catacombs were worth the long trip from Cairo. Our guide was nice but everything felt a bit rushed because of the delay. We thought we will be seeing the old library so were sad when we saw it was the newly build one (still beautiful though)!

Not worth it - The driver was great, very helpful and polite. The guide wasn't very interested. I got a brief overview of what we saw and left to it, with 15 mins average time to spend at each location, not the one hour noted in the details. Other guides went with their groups inside to the areas, mine stayed outside for all except one location. Just felt more enthusiasm would have been nice. I wouldn't recommend this as for one person was expensive, but the driver was really great.

Bad driver experience / underwhelming attractions - It was a total underwhelming experience. Our driver,Yasser, didn’t speak or understand English - so the entire trip to and from Alexandria was spent in silence and we would not know whether we missed any pass-by attractions. The driver smoked and the car was stinking of cigarettes. When we said that the smoking results in breathing issues to my spouse he got her a mask, but didn’t stop smoking. Enroute to the city from Cairo he stopped for a coffee and smoke break for over 30 mins. Similarly around noon. Just said 1 hour and walked off. Made me pay for included admission / tolls. The attractions in Alexandria are okay but nothing compared Luxor and Cairo. It is okay to give it a miss. It worth the 3 hours drive each way to see attractions for 2-3 hours. I have highlighted only some of the issues, but overall do not recommend the private tour to Alexandria.

Alexandria is an amazing... - Alexandria is an amazing city to visit and I would recommend trying to make it a part of your Egypt itinerary but perhaps not with this day trip as I found the tour guide to be unprofessional and that she behaved in a scammerly way. I was sold a cartouche which was of a completely different quality to what I was shown by the tour guide herself as I thought a guide was meant to be trustworthy and was also taken to a scam tourist shop where everything was at a highly inflated price. As I was a solo tourist I found this to be threatening behaviour. The tour guide also got into a large screaming match in a public square with another local man in the middle of the trip for some supposed incident which was not very professional.
