Emy from Egypt Portal Tours is Outstanding - Spent a wonderful day touring Alexandria with Emy from Explore Tours Portal. Emy is extremely knowledgeable and so much fun! We were lucky enough to have her as our guide when we first arrived in Cairo to see the Giza Pyramids and then again at the end of our trip to see the Cairo Museum, Hanging Church and Markets. Thanks to Emy for making the trip so fun for us and thanks to Egypt Portal Tours for such a great experience 👍

Great Day at Alexandria with loads of informative entertainment, with great company. - Great Experience with Mohamed. Insightful, informative, interesting, intelligent and in-depth Alexandria trip (pun intended for the catacombs, which was the highlight for me the entire Alexandria day tour) Hope you can achieve your dream soon and become a respectable Egyptologist lecturer and teach the world more about the amazing history of ancient Egypt. Thank you for making the trip informative and enjoyable.

Worth the trip if you visited Cairo - The day trip to Alexandria from downtown Cairo took over 2.5 hours, a little bit tight time frame, if you need a good overview. The driver of the day looked tired and kept nodding his head and pinching his leg all throughout the trip and we had to keep him alert. The content of the guided tour, however, was carried out by a local egyptologist who specializes in hieroglyphic language. Mr Muhamed was a friendly and knowledgeable guide that taught us much about the local history. If your plan allows, though, stay there overnight...
