Great day with Javida - Our tour guide, Javidan, was excellent. She relayed so much of the history and culture of the sites. The catacombs are interesting with the blend of Egyptian, Greek and Roman influences. The citadel is beautiful with stunning views

Solo Site Seeing - We had to wait to find our driver twice and I brought my own water but I was always with the guide the whole time and felt very safe. Mryt was friendly and very knowledgeable. She allowed free time to explore on your own too, never felt rushed. All four locations took us about 3.5hrs for private tour, I never had to pay entry fees.

Great Highlights Tour - Nice trip to see the highlights of Alexandria. The library is more like a museum and art gallery and many hours could be spent there. Pompey's Pillar was more than I thought as there are buildings and statues around too, not just a Pillar!!
Catacombs worth a visit, Nice and cool underground.

A challenge of the ancient city - Weather too hot, air quality of the city is kind of terrible! City is kind of run down traffic is bad, the ancient sites have not much to see !
