Over all horrible experience. Not recommended at all. Initial co ordination with the tour company was good. Car was good but the driver was too slow and was taking multiple phone calls during the drive and eventually slowed down and increased the drive time. Local guide was busy chatting with others and was most of the time sitting and getting tired lack professional attitude. Guide didn’t have enough knowledge to explain and couldn’t answer when asked questions. Lunch Restaurant was ok but she could not get us a good sitting place even though it was empty and food was very basic and cheapest

We were promptly picked up at our hotel bright and early. A local rep from the tour company along with our driver started the journey and we had a quick stop for the local rep to buy some refreshing drinks and cold water. Then the Local representative left and the driver continued to take us off to Alexandria. It was a Smooth journey that took about 2 1/2 hours for us to get to our first stop where we met up with the tour company’s local guide from Alexandria. Wisam the guide was fantastic. She provided a structured tour at each site and then allowed us free time to explore on our own and take

Alexandria is already an incredible city, but spending the day touring it with our guide Wessam made our trip so much more memorable. It felt like we were touring with a family friend rather than a paid guide. She was funny and engaging, and knew so much about the historical sites we visited. She went out of her way to make us feel comfortable and safe and made sure we were having fun. Definitely the best tour guide I ever had. Also, the company was also incredibly professional and kind when it came to scheduling our trip, which was much appreciated. I recommend this trip for families or anyon

We had a wonderful time with our Private Tour Guide Medhat and our driver Esam who take us safely back and forth between Giza and Alexandria. Our Tour Guide Medhat explained everything well and He is very knowledgeable because He is a local in Alexandria.
