This tour to Alexandria was simply unforgettable. From the moment we left Cairo, everything was well-organized and seamless. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and shared fascinating stories about Alexandria’s history. Visiting the Catacombs, Pompey’s Pillar, and the stunning Alexandria Library was like stepping back in time. The included lunch was delicious, and the restaurant had a beautiful sea view. I highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to explore the beauty and history of Alexandria in one day!
Mahmoud the driver 5 stars. 6 stars! He was Amazing. Our tour guide Eslam Maher tho.. not so much. It was a disaster story, from the moment he opened my door without knocking on the window or anything mid traffic. Up until we canceled our last site to see. This man was a nightmare. First we went into the catacombs. Where at first Eslam was guiding us properly. That quickly changed. He started making jokes such as “Jump from this window to that window it’s a tradition.” He was referring to the pit where bodies are transported down. I actually thought that was somewhat funny. Until it continued.
Memorable day in Alexandria. Pickup from Cairo was great and on time and the drive took approximately 2.5 hours of great fun. My guide was super friendly and very hospitable offering refreshments along the road. Weather was fantastic and over all a great day to remember.
