What a wonderful guide and driver ! If you want to enjoy every moment and be educated on Egypt with a concentration in Alexandria be sure to book this tour. Our guide knows her history! She was on time and did not rush or cut our time short…….the restaurant and the view were magnificent. After every event, the driver was there to pick us up and he knew how to navigate well throughout the tour.

Our first full-day in Egypt and our VIATOUR guide, Iman, made sure we made the most of it! She was knowledgeable, flexible, considerate (including making sure we were comfortable on the drive) and had arranged a full-day experience for the 4 of us. We did everything highlighted on the tour package.

Eman our tour guide is very knowledgeable. Learnt so much in one day. Mohammad our minivan drive was great to navigate the Cairo and Alexandra traffic. The highlights for me were the catacombs, the citadel and the amazing Alexandra Library. Lunch at the seafood market overlooking the Mediterranean Sea was great and Eman's recommendation of lemon drink with mint was very refreshing. Although it was a long day, I would recommend it. The minivan was very comfortable. I would recommend this tour.
