Great little day trip from Cairo
The whole experience was exceptional starting with my dealings the Mariem, the travel consultant who was very helpful in every aspect. The day started from the hotel with Mr Aref, the driver, who took me to Alexandria where I hooked up with Mrs. Wesam, the tour guide. Both very friendly and knowledgeable. The tour took me to all the sites listed, however, the library itself was closed so could only stand on the street out front. My fault I didn't check that on Fridays it closes for maintenance. However, we did go to the Citadel for some time, then had a tremendous lunch right across the street at a local establishment. Highly recommend this tour to anyone interested ... just be aware the library is closed Fridays.

I recommend
Temples, pharaohs and cruise on the Nile. The beginning of Western civilization. Impressive. The guide Salem taught us a lot about the dynasties of ancient Egypt. It was much better to understand the inscriptions in the temples by understanding what they mean.

Outstanding experience highly recommend!
I booked the tour last minute , Mahmoud was very friendly and make sure that everything is good before traveling to Alxandaria. Our guide Hamda was very professional and made sure we are comfortable during the trip.
Finally we met our guide Wessam she is do kind , knowledgeable and friendly.
We booked the tour with option the food tour.
Our operator Yoma asked us if we prefer sea food or local Alxandarian food , we chose the local one and we didn't regret anymore.
We tried the falafel , Shawarma and Koshary and for desert rice with milk was very testy Infront of Cournih.
If you didn't visit Alxandaria with this company you definitely missed alot of fun!
I definitely will come again with my mom next year.

This isn’t a food tour, extremely dissatisfied
An absolute rip off. This is not a food tour, the women that was our guide (Marwa) took us to a restaurant where we weren’t given even 1 option, they just bring us a plate that was cold, full fish (with head and all) fried calamari cold, we needed to pay for the drink we had (a juice) the lunch was rushed. She didn’t let the driver stop in one of the spots we were supposed to visit, run personal errands while we were on tour and took us to a “papirus institute” that wasn’t an institute but just a store that sold papirus many times more expensive than other places around Cairo (over $100 for a papirus you can buy for $10) After that I told her I wasn’t going to buy anything and then she rushed us the rest of the time. Sat next to us looking mad, while we eat that terrible plate of food. The price is not worth it, is not a food tour, (tour for us is something where you get options and they show you various foods from a place) you are better taking the ones that are $40 and you choose what and were do you want to eat. Was the only bad experience we had in Egypt. Do not buy this tour you will regret it.

Excelente!
O tour foi excelente, nos buscaram no nosso hotel no Cairo no horário combinado (7h30) e o trajeto até Alexandria demorou cerca de 3 horas. Do Cairo até Alexandria fomos apenas com o motorista e encontramos nossa guia, Sam, na primeira parada do tour, lá em Alexandria.
Pegamos a opção de excursão gastronômica e foi excelente! Entre uma parada e outra, a guia nos levava nos comércios e experimentamos o sorvete e o suco de frutas naturais. Para o almoço escolhemos o falafel. No restaurante também experimentamos o foul, a beringela, o tahini tudo com o delicioso pão egípcio (o pão árabe - aquele que infla).O tour acabou pelas 14h30 e estávamos de volta ao Cairo pelas 17h30. Apesar de ser um trajeto longo o roteiro foi bem tranquilo e as paradas para os lanches foram bem planejadas. A Sam foi uma guia excelente, nos explicando todos os pontos de interesse e também sobre a história de Alexandria. Ela também sempre sugeria pontos de parada, caso quiséssemos experimentar mais alguma comida/comercio de Alexandria e no almoço nos deixou bem a vontade para escolher as comidas, os acompanhamentos, as bebidas, etc. (Todas as comidas/bebidas já estavam incluídas no tour, não tivemos que pagar nada a mais no dia, apenas a gorjeta para a guia e o motorista, que é opcional).

Alexandria Day Tour - An amazing experience :)
What an amazing experience. ! The tour is very interesting and we could not have a better guide than Aref Bakr. We started from Cairo and in less than 3 hours we were in Alexandria and the magic begun with Catacombs. After we vidited Pompey's Pillar & Qaitbay fortress with amazing views. We had a delicious fish meal by the sea. Aref is very knowledgeable and he did his best to meet and exceed our expectations and to keep us happy. I recommend this excursion with Aref. We created memories for a lifetime. Thank you
