It was a no show. The tour guide did not show up. When our hotel rang them they said they did not have any records of the booking on their system. Therefore we are hugely disappointed and asking for a full refund right now.
We traveled from Cairo to Alexandria in a comfortable van. Trip is about 2 1/2 hours. Our guide and driver were on time to pick us up. Both were knowledgeable and congenial. Trip revealed the endless construction going on outside Cairo and thriving agriculture. The catacombs are accessible and amazing. Ptolemy Tower impressive on site of very ancient castle that held first Alexandria library. Loved seeing that. Citadel of Qaitbay and excellent fish lunch rounded out the experience.
The tour, history of and view from the citadel was a highlight of the trip to Alexandria. The trip from Cairo was interesting, seeing the location of proposed new west Cairo airport, and all the types of agriculture/crops growing in the delta.
