Alexandria - Visit to Alexandria today, December 2 Departure from the hotel at 8 a.m. was at our request Ahmed was very punctual and attentive Half an hour before he warns us that he is waiting for us downstairs He speaks English and Arabic and Spanish On the way to Alexandria we take a break an hour later and offer us coffee and water. When we arrived there, he didn’t hesitate to guide us and wait. As soon as we finish the visit we write to him he is already ready to leave Pleasant driving clean vehicle calm music As soon as he finished he offered us a beautiful restaurant And arrived in Cairo he guided us to a seller of wholesale souvenirs the best prices limit I made my day in Alexandria profitable I highly recommend doing this day Have a good trip

A Historical Adventure Worth Every Minute! - The day-trip to Alexandria from Cairo was absolutely fantastic. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and shared captivating stories, like how Julius Caesar burned the Library of Alexandria. The visit to the Citadel was a highlight, with breathtaking views and a deep sense of history. Highly recommended for a memorable and well-organized experience.

Great tour guide for Alexandria - Ahmed was a great guide, he speaks very good english and a bit of spanish. He took me to Alexandria and was able to see no only the citadel, library and cathacumbes, but also took me to the museum and a local market. Ask him for the best restaurant in town!

Not a "must see" as a city trip - Christina was wonderful! Warm and informative. The drive from Cairo was longer than stated, which made it a very long day. I found the city itself quite disappointing, but the sights very impressive.

Awesome guide, amazing trip - Had a great experience in Alexandria with our guide Eslam. He has good knowledge about the rich history of the monuments which we enjoyed learning about. One of the major things we liked about this trip was that we were able to visit many picturesque places and Eslam made sure that we got satisfactory pictures at all those sites. Alexandria is definitely a must-see place if you're visiting Egypt and this tour allows you to fit the major sites of Alexandria in a single day trip if you're on a tight schedule.
