Tour worth taking while in Alexandria

The tour was very good from the beginning to the end. It took around 6 hours including the dinner at the fish restaurant by the sea. All went as planned, but the best thing was the tour guide, Mahmoud who was very professional and knowledgeable. He did his best to make our tour a great experience. Catacombs, Alexandria library, Pompey Pillar, the Citadel and the Amphitheatre arevall.worthy seeing if you're in Alexandria, and if you have a great tour guide, lije Mahmoud, and a good driver like ours, you are even luckier.

Great private city tour of Alexandria

We had an excellent day lead by our guide, Nevine, and driver, Islam. Nevine is a native of Alexandria and shared the rich history and culture of her city. The citadel, catacombs, and library were highlights. We also appreciated the stop at a local ice cream shop and the mosque.

Excellent tour

I got picked up at my hotel on time by my guide, Dina. We visited all the places listed in the itinerary. At each place we spent enough time and Dina did not rush me. She gave me extra time to look further as I needed. She was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable. We ended the tour with a lovely lunch at a seafood restaurant with sea view. I would surely recommend this tour.

Great Tour of Alexandria

Had a phenomenal tour with Raina today! The tour company was able to arrange a last minute tour for me from booking the night before. There seemed to be a mixup the morning of, but I contacted the tour company and they sent a driver over immediately who then brought me to my guide. Both the guide and driver were great, giving their own take on life in Alexandria and some of the cool highlight spots we got to see. Everything went seamlessly and Raina was well versed on the history of all these places, including my peppering of her with questions about each site. I would recommend this company due to their professionalism. Their TripAdvisor reviews are what made me book with them and they didn’t disappoint.

Good Experience

Islam was very knowledgeable and flexible. The tour covered great highlights but we did miss the Montazah palace due to time on our end. He was very helpful and took us to get delicious ice cream.

Totally Recommend

This trip was extremely memorable. I got to understand the history behind Alexandria vividly by the tour guide Medhat. Medhat went above and beyond with giving me an amazing tour around Alexandria.

Very great tour guide, poor scheduling by Emo tours though!

Our tour guide was great! He was very friendly and a fascinating sorry teller. He also helped a lot with facilitating my trip to the historical after an allergic reaction at lunch. The only issue was the company told us that our tour start time was moved to 8 so that we could go to the Alexandria library. However nobody came to get us until 9 and we didn’t go to the library at all.
