Great day trip to Alexandria - We took a day trip to Alexandria from Cairo. The Library there was one of the highlights of our trip to Egypt. Our driver drove very safely, we met an excellent Guide in Alexandria, and had a wonderful lunch at a Fish Restaurant.

A rewarding and friendly day - We had a fantastic day in Alexandria thanks to Mamdouh Kamal! His in-depth knowledge of Egyptian culture and local history is impressive, and he was able to convey it to us with clarity and passion. Mamdouh speaks excellent French, which made the visit even more enjoyable. Always listening, he did not hesitate to find solutions to meet our demands and adapt the program to our desires. And as a bonus, his subtle humor added a light touch to this already rich experience. Thank you for this beautiful discovery!

Phenomenal - This was an experience like no other! [History Guy]… the amount of detail and explanation of the catacombs, the citadel, mosque monger other places you’ll see on this trip is amazing. The largest library in the world to be included. Our driver was Sayed Mohy, -SUPER AWESOME -and our tour guide Shirehan (might be spelled wrong…(Im sorry) n was phenomenal as well. She took her time explaining and the information was able to be taken in and understood. Please book this and if you can request both to please escort you!!!

I’m so pleased with their service - They were excellent. I used them to go from Cairo to Alexandria and also from Alexandria to the Cairo Airport. The drivers were kind and helpful and stopped as needed. They were also on time and very responsive. I’m so happy with the service

Amazing experience - Was a very good day in Alexandria. The driver was very friendly with us, he came at the right time in the morning to pick us up. Our guide Shery El Shorbagy was extremely good and friendly. After our tour we went to have lunch and we chat a lot with her about the city and the ancient history in Egypt and Alexandria.

Alexandria's important visits cannot be forgotten, but they must have a full day on their itinerary, leaving Cairo early and returning - Alexandria, the second important city in Egypt after Cairo, has 5 million inhabitants, built by the great Alexander in the year 332 BC

Great Tour! - We had an incredible time in Alexandria. Our driver, Joseph, was very friendly and gave us lots of interesting information about the areas we were driving through on our journey from Cairo. We felt safe on the drive and he offered us breaks when needed. When we arrived, we met our guide Samira, who was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the sites she was showing us around. An unexpected favourite of ours were the catacombs, which were really interesting. Samira had great local knowledge and was able to recommend a good fish restaurant for lunch. We would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a quick introduction to Alexandria.

Great day in Alexandria - Our driver picked us up from our accommodations very promptly and our guide was wonderful. She had a clear passion for the sites of Alexandria and gave us plenty of detail with still time to explore. The day was also reasonably paced; we didn't spend too long or too short of a time at any specific location. We booked the all-inclusive package with lunch, which was underwhelming and not worth the 20 pounds extra (also didn't include drinks), but the day itself was excellent.
