So much to see!
A full on day at Alexandria visiting the Catacombs, Citadel, Library and Amund Lel Swari ruins. Fantastic way to take in all the sights of Alexandria in one trip. We were picked up promptly from our hotel in Cairo by a friendly guide and driver. The day was fast paced without being too rushed and our guide, Bossi, was amazingly knowledgeable about the places we visited as well as being able to speak fantastic English. Miles better than the odd Arabic word she tried to teach us, which gave us all a giggle! The library was huge and could easily take up a day of its own, so the trip just gave us a taster of what it had to offer. The other stops were fab, the catacombs my personal favourite, and we were taken to a really good restaurant for lunch; a welcome rest! All in all a wonderful day!

Very nice and great tour with Emo Tours
My fiancé and I booked our tour with Emo Tours for the day trip to Alexandria from Cairo. Our guide Ehab and driver Fares were very nice, accommodating, and patient. We had a personal delay at the airport, which caused Ehab and Fares to wait for us, but they were understanding. We visited all highlights in Alexandria in a timely manner. Both Ehab and Fares were professional, funny, and made us feel very comfortable.
I highly recommend this tour and if booked through Emo Tours, make sure to ask for Ehab and Fares!!

Alexandria Day Tour with Ehab
We visited Alexandria on the private tour with Emo tours. It was so nice to have personalized time with our tour guide Ehab Hoba and drover Mohammed Said. We didn't have to fight through a group of people to hear what was going on and everything was at our own pace, which i love! The library at Alexandria is magnificicent and definitely worth a visit if not just for the architecture. Once inside a library worjer gives a tour detailing the history and all the works. The drive was also pleasant about 3 hours but it went so quickly we listened to music and joked around with Ehab. I would recommend this tour.

Relaxing tour of beautiful Alexandra!
After two days of intense sightseeing in Egypt, this relaxing day tour of Alexandra was ideal! As in the previous two days of tours with Emo Tours, my guide (Olfat) and driver (Mahmoud) showed up on time. We had a pleasant, informative and engaging conversation on this 2.5 hr drive. We visited the cafe combs, the fortress where the Pharos once stood (which was a really cool visit!) and also the new Alexandra library. We also had a wonderful lunch at an excellent seafood restaurant with beautiful views of the Med.
As my guide, Olifat was extremely knowledgeable of the history and culture of this ancient city. She knew exactly where to get the best photo shots at each location. And one could not find a more gracious, respectful, and kind guide as her!
I recommend this tour for anyone thalikes history, likes beautiful coastal cities. And if you use Emo tours, and ask for Olifat as your guide, you will surly have a wonderful experience just as I did!!

Great tour to Alexandria from Cairo 1 day tour
Excellent tour recommended. With an early pick up and coming back at decent hour, you can see the highlights of the city. Once done Cairo, it is strongly recommended. The guide Adel Hakem is a nice person and speaks perfectly both English and Italian. The driver Tolba is the n.1.

Great day tour. Excellent introduction
Our guide, Shareey was excellent. She arrived on time as arranged and had so much great information to share with us. She took lots of photos for us using our cameras and generally did everything she could to make the day really special. We never felt rushed or bored and her pride in Alexandria certainly shone thru. The van driver was also helpful. He was a good driver and we felt safe in his car. No problems stopping for photos. The sites and all the stories that went with them were spectacular especially the Library. The seafood lunch was delicious with great views of the harbour. Shareey set us up really well for the next days independent site seeing with everything we needed written in Arabic script ... Turned out to be so useful.

Alexandria with Kholoud
Emo tours arranged a private car from the Cairo airport to our hotel in Alexandria. Our driver Fathy made every effort to make sure we were comfortable on the drive and shared some of his snacks with us. The next day our guide Kholoud (Eternity) met us promptly at our hotel to begin our amazing tour of Alexandria. We visited Pompey's Pillar, The Roman amphitheatre, the Library, Montaza Palace and the catacombs. Kholoud was a wonderful guide and described each of the sights in great detail and made sure our expectations for this private day tour were exceeded. We also had a wonderful locals meal at the Fish Market restaurant which is on the Corniche. Kholoud is a warm, caring and knowledgeable guide, and left us thoroughly enjoying our diversion to Alexandria. I should also mention that our driver did an excellent job of moving us quickly and safely through the challenging streets of the city. The next day our transfer driver, Fathy, picked us up promptly as arranged to take us to our hotel in Cairo. And to top things off, his wife sent him along with snacks and beverages she had prepared specially for us. What more could you ask for on the first three of twenty one days in Egypt.

Emy is the best tour guide!
We were so happy to have a tour from Emy two days in a row! We really enjoyed our tour today! So sad for it to end. We had a great time seeing all the great sights of Alexandria with Emy and she is the best photographer!

Alessandria
Alexandria wasn’t as exciting as Cairo. So i felt like the one day tour was perfect. Again, Emo tours excelled expectations with transportation and the assistance with our guide Rasha. I loved the freedom of the private tour and Rasha was very knowledgeable and provided excellent customer service.
