The perfect way to experience Alexandria - The perfect way to see the key sights in Alexandria, with our guide Nessrin (and driver). The main attractions are quite a long way from each other, and some of them are hidden away so a car is essential. In the course of one day we visited the royal palace gardens, Alexandrian bibliotheca, catacombs and roman theatre, Coptic church, mosque complex and fort Qaitbay. Thoroughly recommend, especially if you are short of time.

Alexandria - the Great!! - Our day tour of Alexandria was fabulous! We had the opportunity to see the highlights of the city and learned so many things along the way. Our guide Karim was very knowledgeable about his city. We even waved to his university professor driving by!! Karim was very friendly, engaging, and open to answering our deluge of questions You can tell he is highly respected in his field as he met with many colleagues throughout the day who were very happy to stop and say hello We were glad to have selected the all day private tour. - Allowing us time and flexibility to get to all the major sites and not feeling rushed or delayed while doing so We enjoyed a delicious lunch of sea bass with all the local trimmings - I would love to get that recipe! Our diver Ibrahim was safe and courteous All in all we passed a Great day in Alexandria!

Great highlights and background by Karim - This is a fast paced version of all the highlights of Alexandria. We had the bad luck of booking this on a Friday during Ramadan and the library was closed, but Karim made up for it. He was great at giving the background information at all the sites and was very professional.

Enjoyable full day tour - Everything went smooth. We received lots of information from the tour guide. Guide was helpful. The itinerary was good. Restaurant and was food was good. Guide was flexible.

Great experience - ran short of time - My wife and I took this trip in Alexandria. We had seen Egypt earlier from Cairo/Giza right to Abu Simbel so we decided to go to Alexandria the night earlier and start the day from there, as well as end it in Alexandria itself. The driver and guide for this visit were Hany and Shaimaa respectively. We had a great experience of the entire tour and covered all the sites mentioned in the package. Shaimaa also took us to a great place for lunch - we are vegetarians and had a very nice meal. There are some things to keep in mind though - the library is shut on Fridays as a result of which we could only see it on the outside as we took the trip on a Friday. (It is a different thing that we managed to cover the library including the antiquities museum and the manuscript museum by ourselves on Saturday which took us 150 minutes as we were keen to see things in detail). Also, if one is very fond of history, the day is going to have an extremely tight schedule. So it might make sense to - find out exactly what is not covered as part of the original full day agenda (for example, a visit to the manuscripts museum and antiquities museum), - which of the non-covered agenda does one want to see in the time available at one's cost (tickets) if needed on the same day, and - plan the day accordingly (if required, drop some less important sites in the agenda based on priority) Hany and Shaimaa were extremely good hosts. Shaimaa gave us great details about each place and answered all our queries. She even helped to quickly cover the last site/stop when we were behind time. Alexandria is a great place and the road to it from Cairo is very smooth - takes approx 3 hours. So better to arrive here the previous night and start early.

Good experience! - Waleed was our guide for this day tour. He was knowledgeable, patient and explained the sites to us in detail. We were travelling with 2 young kids and another couple, and he made sure to keep everyone happy.

Perfect - Waleed showed both professionalism and friendliness. With patience and empathy, he clarified everything and mastered both proximity and distance excellently. He was also able to manage time well. The young driver Abdullah was extremely careful on the highway and drove safely and very friendly. The only weakness was the food and the restaurant, otherwise everything was perfect.

Must do tour. Please ask for Waleed. - Our tour guide Waleed was fabulous. He tried his level best to get us to see everything. Fantastic guide. There was an issue on the highway which reaching Alexandria due to which we lost 1.5hrs. however our guide made sure that we didn't miss anything. The tour wouldn't have been possible without him. He is a great example of Egyptian hospitality.

Great tour guide, nice way to see Alexandria if you're there - -Poverty-ridden city, so manage your expectations (dirt and trash everywhere, underfed animals everywhere, occasional animal cruelty, flies and dirt on raw meat hanging at restaurants, different gender social norms, etc.) -Mohammed was a very interesting, educated, and informative guide. He really knew his information and seemed excited about sharing it. He was funny and made the trip interesting. -The tour company changed our meeting time last minute to an hour early, which was pretty frustrating, as we are not glued to our phones on an international vacation (and did not want to start an hour early, hence our decision to book at the time we did). -The meeting location was very confusing. The port took a few minutes of walking to get out of and the meeting spot was not accurate, so we had to call the tour guide to find out where to meet. There also wasn't clarity on how many people could be on the tour and the bus was very small for the number of tourists they booked. -the tour company offers different options for different costs, such as viewing the manuscript room in the library and eating lunch. Frustratingly, everyone was grouped on the same bus regardless of what they had booked, so those who did not book the extras had to linger without a guide and waste time while he took care of the manuscript room and meal. -the tour spots (Roman ruins, catacombs, modern Alexandria library, castle in the spot of the previous lighthouse of Alexandria, and a mosque that had previously been a church) were each interesting and informative -Egypt has different social norms than many parts of the world, so it would have been helpful for the tour company and tour guide to explain ahead of time…for example, you can’t go to the restroom without needing to pay someone at the door and the mandatory shoe removal also required paying the man who did nothing but put our shoes in a cubby and hand them back (without us wanting him to do it). We had no small bills prepared to pay these people and therefore had to grossly overpay for these non-valuable services. -Make sure you wear socks, as you have to take your shoes off at the mosque. And women have to wear a headscarf, so bring your own or you will have to borrow one from the mosque.

This company is a scammer DO NOT USE - The trip pick up was for 8am then we were told we had to get picked up at 7am. I asked to cancel and get a refund and the scammer refused to provide a refund. The tour was advertised for 7-8 hours but in fact took 12 hours and we had to incur a late check fee from our hotel and the tour refused to pay this. If you deal with Haitham he is a scammer. Do not book this company and use another company.
