Well worthwhile! - Alexandria is a beautiful city and very worth visiting. Ghada was a fantastic guide. So knowledgeable but also not just facts. She made it interesting and intriguing. The drive from Cairo on the desert road was an experience - great driver, but crazy traffic on the way back. This is definitely the way to do a day trip to Alexandria. Our only comment is fortunately we brought some water bottles. The description on the website said we would get a water bottle each and we did not.

Beautiful Day in Alexandria - I had an excellent day tour. My driver was right on time picking me up. My guide was very knowledgeable and she was great at making sure all my questions were answered and helped get a deeper understanding of the city and culture of Alexandria. I didn't feel rushed at any of the sites and was able to enjoy the entire day.

Long drive, wonderful sights, delicious lunch! - If you are a nervous passenger, the 229km drive is not for you. Egyptian traffic is manic and chaotic! However, our driver was excellent and we got there and back without a major incident.
The tour in Alexandria itself is worthwhile, different to Cairo with interesting sights. Our guide Mahmoud was very dedicated and informative, we enjoyed his talks.
We had an amazing included lunch at a sea front restaurant, 4 of us had the traditional Alexandrian fish and rice meal plus mezze. Fish was incredibly fresh and tasty, a whole grilled fish! Delicious. Other options were available to non fish eaters, equally good.
We were tired after a 12 hour day but it was totally worthwhile for a multi-generational family! 😁😁😁

Best Trip Guide Everrr - I enjoyed her company. I could ask her any question or discuss anything with her without her seeming irritated. We started at the Catacombs, Amphitheater, Library, Outpost and Mosque. All in Alexandria.

Great Day Out away From Cairo - The tour was great. I can recommend to do it if you have spare day as Alexandria was full interesting of Greek+Egyptian history and places.
