Worth doing this trip - Our trip to Alexandria was great. Our guide Eslam had great knowledge about the sites we were seeing and we learnt a lot from him. The Catacombs were my highlight and lunch by the water was also really good. Thanks for a fantastic day.

The best tour company in Egypt: Cairo Top Tours. They promise and they deliver. - They are the best in the game. From the moment we landed Ramez Maher made sure that we had fun while giving us the deep history of Egypt and ensuring our safety.The driver Mohamed Abdelsalam was a true professional. Not forgetting the lady who was our tour guide in Alexandria, Ms. Manal. Thumbs up to Cairo Top Tours,the real top tiers who give you value for your money. If visiting Egypt I highly recommend them. Thank you once more CTT. You are the best

Cairo Top Tours - A tour company to recommend - While in Egypt, Cairo Top Tours organized for us two great tours: The day visit to Alexandria and a visit to the Nile's Delta. We did both tours with a private car and also private guide, it was really worth the experience and the learnings. Customer service from Bishoy Habib was great, he did periodically checks by WhatsApp during the tours to make sure everything was going according to plan. At the end of our visit, the same company arranged the transfer from the hotel to Cairo's Airport. I recommend Cairo Top Tours for your tours in Egypt.

Private day trip to Alexandria~ - We enjoyed our tour with Manal Atef giving us lots of information to go along with the places we visited. She was easy to understand and even would adjust the itinerary to suit our needs. She took us to a wonderful restaurant serving fresh fish with a beautiful view of the Mediterranean!

Really good trip to Alexandria - Had one extra day before boarding my flight back home in the night and so did this amazing one day private type to Alexandria from Cairo. Everything was so well arranged and my guide Eriny knew Alexandria so well and answered my many questions. The lunch in the beautiful Athenos Restaurant overlooking the Mediterranean Sea was really wow. Thanks to Osama for the arrangements and also my wonderful driver Eid for not only reaching me back to the airport on time but making enough time for last minute souvenir and sweets shopping. Thanks Cairo Top Tours.

Camel ride around pyramids and Nile River Cruise - What an unforgettable experience. We were supposed to leave from the cruise ship at 6am for a full day of site seeing, a camel ride and a Nile river cruise. However, Alexandria had terrible fog that morning < 100 meter visibility so the Egyptian officials would not let us leave- for our safety. The fog didn’t burn off until 10am. Osama and the driver, Gouda waited for us that whole time. We got in the van and off we went to Cairo so we could still make a go of it with the time we had left. Once in Cairo, we met our tour guide, Ibrahim. Due to the right timeframe, Ibrahim and Osama tweaked our tour so we could make our top priorities happen: ride camels at the pyramids , get amazing photos and take a Nile River cruise. We had to rush, but they made it happen for us. Ibrahim was very kind, helpful and knowledgeable- we learned a lot! Then our new driver, Abdullah sped in a smaller car (quicker) to get us back to the ship in time. It was amazing and we are soooo grateful to all of these gentlemen for their help. What a wonderful day - one for the books! Thank you!!!!!!
