Exceptionally Pleasant Trip! - Our tour guide, Afifi, and the driver, Adel, were amazingly accommodating and flexible in meeting our needs. Afifi was so knowledgeable about all the sites we visited. Adel was originally from Alexandria and knew the ins and outs of the area. He even took us to one of the famous local places and bought us its famous rice bowl. Afifi and Adel worked together so pleasantly and guided us well. This trip was so pleasant because of them! If my husband and I return to Egypt, I would have them as our guides because they indeed made our trip special and very pleasant. My husband and I appreciated them so much!

Emo tours does it again. - Sayed Mahmoud for the win again. This is our second time with him, and he absolutely nailed it. He looked after all the detailing. He got us great pictures which is an added advantage. He got us water even before we started our trip. Personally I wanted to see the trams in Alexandria and he went above and beyond to get me a glimpse of the tram. We had a great time with them. Our driver Mr. Sayed, always the happy face guy. Both of them are brilliant. Also Sayed helped me find a book in library. Thank you both for making our Alexandria day trip so good. Wish you both good luck.

Rip off Tour Guide in Alexandria - Mohammed driver was very good. The guide in Alexandria over charged us for the lunch. She took EGP 1000 from each one of us and we paid totally EGP 4000 which is absolutely a ripoff. Even at any good restaurant we paid maximum of EGP 1500 to 1800 for 4 of us.

Alexandria Day Trip from Cairo - Said picked me up on time in a clean car. The old guy is not a conversationalist or real keen on music. Bring your own headphones like I did for the long 3 hour ride each way. He did drive professionally and made several comfort stops to and from Alexandria. Also bring portable batteries to recharge your cell phone. There were no charging jacks in the car. I was met by the guide, Shaimaa, who knew so much about every site we stopped at. She answered all my questions and gave suggestions for pictures. All the sites were old and interesting. I did skip the library. It tears at your heart to see so many stray dogs and cats. If you do this trip, bring along some snacks for the strays. This trip is well worth it. I recommend it.

Visit Alexandria, but not this way. - Entirely my mistake. Very long day in the car for very little sightseeing and too much expense. Driver was adequate. Guide was nice but uninteresting. Unless you love sitting in a car for 7 hours, find a different way to visit Alexandria.

Alexandria is beautiful, but maybe with a different guide. - Alexandria is beautiful and has so much history to offer. A good guide can really make or break this experience. We used this company for our tour in Luxor and our guide was fantastic. We had the most wonderful driver, but were not happy with the guide. We felt very rushed at the Catacombs. Also, we ended up paying for the entry tickets after getting a package that included the entry fees (the guide did refund the amounts we paid at the site). But it really is annoying that we had to do that and that the tickets weren’t purchased ahead of time. Also, our guide was very pushy with the sales aspect whether it be buying from her catalog of jewelry or at her friends’ store or her higher priced lunch recommendations. Interestingly, she also seemed to tell certain people we were from US (presumably so they could charge more).
