Great tour of Alexandria sites - We booked this tour to see several top sites in one day. Our tour guide, Kristina was easy to be with and gave us the insight and knowledge needed to understand what we were experiencing.
We covered a lot of ground with Kristina and our friendly driver and would recommend this tour.

Excellent experience in Alexandria with Youssed from Emo Tours - We very much enjoyed a private tour of Alexandria's highlights with our guide Youssef, who was very knowledgeable, timely, flexible to our needs and also excellent in navigating through busy tourist sites, always managing to find us a quite spot. Our driver Amed was also very professional and helpful and the car very comfortable. Thank you for a memorable day!

Brief informative tour with excellent staff - We had only half a day to spare in Alexandria and this tour made sure we see the major monuments along with scrumptious meal at a sea side restaurant within 4-5 hours. Samira (our guide) and Ashraf (our driver) were very warm, friendly and accomodating. We felt safe and taken care of with them during our tour. Best wishes and kindest regards from India.

One day we'll spent in Alexandria - Nice 6 hour trip that shows you most salient parts of Alexandria. English speaking guide (Zaina) was good and never rushed us.
Two important things though
1. The Library is a MUST see but it is closed on Friday. So try to take the tour on some other day.
2. On the site it states that you can join only at one of 2 points. Actually they can oblige by picking you from your hotel. So check directly with your contact person.

We did all the sites in... - We did all the sites in Alexandria the guide explained and was quite knowledgeable. She picked us up on time. She was very pleasant. Only thing was when we did the catacombs she did not accompany us down to explain if she did that it would have been better. Also, the lunch they promoted is not worth it

Abysmal - One of the worst tours I have ever been on. The driver and the guide talked incessantly between them the whole time We felt we were interrupting when we actually had questions about Alexandria. When we alighted at the Alexandria Library she was on her mobile talking while we were looking at paintings. I asked her to move away but she wouldn't. I was ready to dismiss the driver and take an Uber back to the hthe otel. Abysmal.
