Bisho was a great driver and guide. He has good knowledge of a wide array of topics. If you have him, you won't need anything else.
A whole day of excitement as soon as you leave your hotel door! Ehab was a great guide that knew exactly how to make the most of an intense day. The road to Alexandria from Cairo is a beautiful drive through desert landscapes, and every site in Alexandria is breathtaking. So many historical and cultural phases in one single city. Highly recommended tour, especially with Ehab and Teto!
Our English-speaking driver Youssef was punctual. His vehicle was clean and the A/C worked well. He was patient and didn't rush us. Enroute from Cairo to Alexandria, he imparted information about the landmarks we were viewing. In Alexandria, our tour guide was Karam. He was very knowledgeable and was able to intelligently answer all my questions, which leads me to believe he was not just parroting a script. We visited the Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa, the Library of Alexandria, and the Citadel of Qaitbay. All were impressive sights with interesting histories. After our ~3-hour tour, we had lunc
My day trip to Alexandria with my guide Bisho was super nice. I recommend. To see Alexandria was a good plus of my visit in Egypt. It makes you see something different than the Cairo and the pyramids. I could cross the country and see some nice landscape. Besides the roads are high quality. My guide Bisho was a great man during all the trip. His english was perfect for me (and he speaks Japanese too !!). I loved it, and I recommend.
First the good (but do read to the end): We visited all the sites as per the itinerary and the guide was very polite and knowledgeable. We were not rushed; they were on time; and WhatsApp communication was great. This is why I gave 4 stars, but… We paid for a private tour (which this was supposed to be), but the night before we were told that another couple would like to join us if we agreed to. They have told that same thing to the other couple! We did agree to it, so we cannot blame the company for that, but also, they did take advantage of us and made double the profit for the same work. We
The tour itself was well organised, we fell ill the night before and the driver graciously waited for us for an hour to try and recover. Alexandria itself wasn’t as great as we anticipated, but that’s nothing to do with the tour. We weren’t supplied with any water as the booking states but we brought our own.
