Best tour in Alexandria from Cairo! - This tour to Alexandria from Cairo is a must! Saw so many sites including Pompey’s pillar, the citadel, the Alexandria library, the Roman amphitheater and the catacombs (I may be forgetting a location) and had a delicious lunch overlooking the Red Sea. Dina was my guide and she was fabulous! Knowledgeable, kind, friendly and generous. Our driver (sorry I do not know his name) was incredible, prompt, and courteous! As a solo female traveler, I was in great hands! If you are visiting Cairo and wish the spend a day in Alexandria this is the tour for you. Dina thoughtfully let me spend a great deal of time at the sites and even took some amazing photos of me! She’s the best!

Great tour guide - We had a great time touring Alexandria
coz of our tour guide Amir. He's very knowledgeable about the history of Alexandria and all the places we stopped by. He was also able to answer all the history questions we had about Egypt plus he recommended a Papyrus shop with a very fair price of Papyrus paper as well as a non-touristy bazaar. I highly recommend Amir.

I learned a lot about the history of Alexandria. I enjoyed the beauty of the place. - The trip was amazing! The guide was a very knowledgeable person and told us a lot about the history of the place. But we were not told by the trip adviser exactly which places we will see. So the driver was reluctant to stop at some of the places we wanted to see.
