Overview

Rewind to the days of Alexander the Great on a private day trip to Alexandria, Egypt’s Mediterranean coastal city. Admire the Nile Valley as you travel to this picturesque city, founded by Alexander around 331 BC, and tour the highlights as your expert guide recounts the city’s history. Descend into the underground Roman catacombs to see eerie chambers; view the Roman column of Pompey’s Pillar; and visit the stunning, new disc-shaped Alexandria Library, built where the city’s classical library once stood. A delicious seafood lunch in Alexandria is included.

This day trip was very nice, our guide, Wael , was great!!! he was very friendly, very educated, and was very good planning our trip, noticing if we were tired from the heat, etc... he gave us time to rest, and always asking us if we were doing ok. He made a big difference in our short trip to Egypt, We were very lucky to have him with us!

This was a great tour. All of the sites were interesting, and our guide was great. He was very friendly, actually the friendliest guide that we had on our trip. He gave us plenty of time, answered all of our questions, and chose a great place for lunch with a view. I highly recommend using this guide.

Nor was an amazing tour guide! We booked with tree of life and he was so knowledgeable, ensured if we needed coffee or toilet stops we did, kept us on schedule without rushing, and made our Alexandria day trip so memorable. he ended up seeing us 3 days later at the airport and from kindness of his heart walked and helped us from Luxor arrivals back to Cairo departure when our own guide that day left us high and dry. Nor, you are wonderful - from Jemely and Jerry we appreciate you so!

Absolutely amazing. Mimo was extremely knowledgeable and knew the best places for food(he knows the way to a fat “kids” heart). But the history and insight he shared of the places was appreciated and I loved every minute of it. Hussein is an amazing driver. He navigated the streets like a total professional. I would go again with these 2.

There was no free wifi on board and the drinks refered were a few bottles of water. The restaurant they took us had poor quality and I was later told by someone I was lucky not to choose fish.
