Reviews
The day trip to Alexandria could not have been a better day trip from Cairo. We went to the catacombs, the Roman ruins and the Citidel. Everything was very authentic and the tour guide was thorough and detailed in pointing out important places along way. It made for a perfect day trip.
This was a decent tour for a reasonable price. The tour provided a brief overview of the Greek-Roman history of the city. Our guide was knowledgeable but a bit disengaged, leaving us to explore some of the sites on our own. The tour was reasonably priced given that the transportation to and from our Giza hotel was included. We enjoyed the sites we saw but, based on our experience, I wouldn't really recommend taking a whole day of your vacation for this tour.
Took a private car trip with my wife from Cairo to Alexandria for the day. The team of Hosni (guide) & Ehab (driver) did an excellent job getting us to Alexandria smoothly and quickly. We saw all the best sights, skipped the lines, had an amazing fish lunch, and got back on time. Hosni even arranged a few extra bonus stops to suit our individual needs. Highly recommend!!!!!
Cairo to Alexandria made for a great day trip! My driver was timely, the guide (hi Hosni!) was super knowledgeable and friendly, and I felt safe & entertained the entire time. Hosni took me through the catacombs, the pillar, the library, and the Roman amphitheater. He also gave a helpful overview of Egyptian history and politics, informing everything we saw on the drive to/from Alexandria. A long day, but absolutely with it.
Amazing guide and driver, very nice car. Driver kindly agreed to go to the local restaurant we wanted and was stopping by cafes on the way
We had a private day trip from Cairo to Alexandria. Our tour guide was Zanaty Mohy. We fully enjoyed the day trip. He took us to the places of great historical significance. He explained everything thing in details. We found him knowledgeable, humble and having a good sense of humour. We had a memorable day trip. We will highly recommend Zanaty Mohamed as a tour guide for any such trip.
