Alessandria: escursione privata di un giorno dal Cairo

Our group was excited to visit Alexandra from Cairo. When the guide, Hima, picked us up, he inquired as to what we would like to see. We noted that we really wanted to see the Mosque and the Alexandria Library. We had a choice of four sites to visit and we left the other two up to him, since he was the expert. He decided to take us to the Fort and the Catacombs, which were both very interesting, especially the Catacombs. We also had a good lunch at a restaurant on the Mediterranean Sea. When we got to the Mosque, a gentleman invited us inside the Mosque, but our guide refused to allow us to en

Pharaoh Tours was prompt to pick up, and the trip from Cairo to Alexandria was nice. The problem is we could not understand our guide. There was quite the language barrier, and it limited the tour. “Mido” was nice but had limited English and no knowledge of how to be a guide. Alexandria is a great place to visit, so make sure you can communicate with your guide. Cheers.

Our tour guides were great. They were very respectful, attentive and accommodating. They made sure we were comfortable at all times and had time to take pictures and walk around every place we visited. They were also very knowledgeable and answered every question we had. We enjoyed the tour around Alexandria and learning from this magnificent city, full of history. Also the food was great, very tasty and the restaurant was beautiful.

The guide was accomodating but his English was so poor we could not understand him well. The car was uncomfortable for the time we had to spend in it. The local Viator agency did not do a good job. We're experienced travelers who have been on many tours. This definitely was one of the worst tours we've taken.

Ahmed, our guide, was on time, knowledgeable, courteous and personable. His English at times was difficult to understand especially in a noisy environment The lunch location overlooking the sea was great Abdullah was a skilled driver Leg room in the back seat of the car was too cramped especially considering the long drive to Alexandria

We were very excited about going on this trip but are sorry to say we were left disappointed. Before relaying our experience, we would like to mention that the pick-up from the hotel was punctual, the car was comfortable and the driver was good. The tour was taken on 18th August 2022 and is based on our experience. Our day started with the guide asking us which four sites we would like to see. We asked to see: 1. Catacombs 2. Roman amphitheatre 3. Pompey's pillar 4. Qaitbay citadel The guide informed us that we would only be able to see the amphitheatre from the outside and therefore advised t
