Great tour - We had a great tour of Alexandria with Wessam and driver . She was very clear and organized. Her experience and familiarity made the tour very easy and smooth. Our tickets were paid, and entry was basically no waiting. Her recommendation of a seafood restaurant was perfect. We chose the 4 stops, and she arranged them logistically for us. A real professional which will not disappoint!

Great tour, excellent guide, exciting city! - We arrived into Alexandria as part of a cruise ship tour. We decided to do our own thing rather than a cruise line excursion and went with Mirette Tours. It was excellent! Our guide, Ghada, met us at the port entrance and we were quickly visiting lots of different parts of the city. Ghada was excellent, she was really friendly, knew everything there was to know about Egyptian history and the way that it has shaped Alexandria.

Highlights of Alexandria - Our tour of Alexandria covered most of the places that were of interest to us and gave us a good feel for the city. Our guide, Wesson, was very knowledgeable and very helpful. She not only knew a great deal of information about the important sites in the city, she also seemed to know everyone and to be known by them.

Maybe not the best - Unfortunately on the day of this tour the weather was cool and a bit rainy, and we also had colds, so things could have been better! The catacombs and the new library were amazing - very pleased to have seen those. But we felt the tour overall was a little disappointing, more or less over by lunchtime, apart from visiting the cathedral afterwards. The citadel (which was previously the site of the Great Lighthouse) over the other side of the bay, was pointed out to us from a distance. Though it wasn't part of the day's itinerary, it seemed a big omission, and as we were leaving the next day we never managed to see it. If you can find a tour that includes the citadel, choose that one instead.

Save your money! - Changed our booking, didn't meet us then put me in the back seat of a car that I had to crawl out of. Quit after an hour, 100% a total waste!
