Good tour...

Day started off early at 830am on and time. Was greeted by the driver, Ahmed at the lobby to bring me to the first stop where we met up Sheri. Sheri was very knowledgeable and kind. Offering options for food either koshary or seafood. She took me to the fish market, which was delicious. She showed me around describing the history and the stops and significance to Alexandria. And taking helped take my pictures. She brought me to a local shop, where there no hassle/pressure right buy. Which was nice. Ahmed drove us around safely around the city and was on time in picking us up as we finished each stop.

Abysmal pre service

We have booked the trip and been advised of 2 pick up address’s, which are 30 minutes apart! I have tried to contact the local rep on many occassions, but no answer. The help desk in Las Vegas - they hung up on me. I have sent messages to various places - no reply. So I am not rating the trip - we have not been on it and may not go if we guess the wrong pick up point- i am resting the pre service which i would have given no resting if i could.

Had an excellent day tour...

Had an excellent day tour in Alexandria, made special by our fantastic tour guide Muhammed Ramadan. From the moment we sat in the car he began telling all about the surrounding area and its rich history. He expertly took us through the Catacombs, the Citadel, the ‘amphitheater’ and the library (which was closed due to Easter). He was very knowledgeable and passionate, which elevated our experience all the more. We were also able to make small changes to our itinerary (taking lunch early) which really allowed us to enjoy the tour at our own pace. At no point did we feel rushed and he would always stop to show us the optimal photo spots. Overall, it was great tour of an amazing city which has so much to offer.

Best Guide and Driver Duo I Ever Had

Both our driver and guide were exceptional! As part of the ministry of tourist, she handled herself with grace and humor as we walked through catacombs, mosque, Qaitbay, the Roman Amphitheater and lunch on the water. Due to it being a Friday the Library was closed - we still had moments of education and many pictures! After the tour we were able to stay in contact with our driver, Ahmed- a dear friend to us now he offered information on where to eat, dance and even reasonable train ticket prices. As avid travelers we can only hope to find such helpful and genuine people everywhere we go. Will choose Emo Tours again in the future! Thank you for the experience and recommendations(:

Alessandria d'Egitto...da visitare!

Alexandria merita una visita Tanta storia, persone gentiili e siti archeologici da non perdere. Una città romana, la splendida Biblioteca situata nell'area dove sorgeva la famosa di epoca di Cleopatra e tanto altro.

A great sight seeing with a great driver Mr. Ahmed

I took only driver and car from emo via vitor. The driver Mr. Ahmed is a very humble and polite person. He is very caring and listened to my requirements. he drove very safely. He never refused any of my requests. I must advise that Mr. Ahmed must be sent as driver to the most of the city tours.

Great Way to See Alexandria

We had a fantastic day in Alexandria with our tour guide, Reem. She was very knowledgeable and easy to understand. We appreciated that she give us some time to ourselves at each location so soak in the environment. All of the sites were interesting in their own way. The lunch option was delicious. Additionally our driver from Cairo, Omar, was very kind and we felt very safe and comfortable in his car. Overall a great tour for a great price and would highly recommend to anyone staying in Cairo.

One day we'll spent in Alexandria

Nice 6 hour trip that shows you most salient parts of Alexandria. English speaking guide (Zaina) was good and never rushed us. Two important things though 1. The Library is a MUST see but it is closed on Friday. So try to take the tour on some other day. 2. On the site it states that you can join only at one of 2 points. Actually they can oblige by picking you from your hotel. So check directly with your contact person.

Great tour of Alexandria sites

We booked this tour to see several top sites in one day. Our tour guide, Kristina was easy to be with and gave us the insight and knowledge needed to understand what we were experiencing. We covered a lot of ground with Kristina and our friendly driver and would recommend this tour.
