Leuke eendaagse trip
Het was een leuke ervaring. Onze chauffeur Rahim was grappig. Mijn kinderen zeiden dat hij een teddybeer was. Islam onze gids was erg aardig en deskundig. Hij haastte ons niet en was zeer behulpzaam. De stad was uniek en hield van het uitzicht op de zee. Goed gedaan. Bedankt.

Perfect way to fill free day in Cairo, prior to starting our 9-day Egypt tour.
Our small group tour turned into a private tour, that happens sometimes when you use a small local tour company during the shoulder season. We were there in mid-March. Pros and cons to this free upgrade. Your time/schedule/stops become flexible and efficient. But you’re also solely responsible for reasonably tipping the driver and guide.
For the tour itself, we visited 4 sites: the catacombs; the amphitheater; the library; and the castle. If you have the flexibility, pick a day/time when the first 3 are open. The castle I’d say it’s optional but you’re there already, why not. Each of the first 3 are really amazing in their own right. When you visit the amphitheater, be sure to step on the echo pedestal in front of the audience and sing (or just say) something.
We chose the all inclusive option. If you added up all the entrance fees (if all 4 are open) and cost for lunch, you’re about even. If you have other considerations like many children who get bored easily and/or don’t eat much, then you need to take those factors into consideration. We thought our choice met our need well.
The trip to/from Alexandria. If this is your first time on a driven trip in Egypt, brace yourself. Better yet, try to catch up on your sleep for the ~3-hour trip to and from. The only thing you’d miss is mad-max style driving (think of the skill required) and all the stress from seeing it behind the driver.
Happy travels.

Leuke Alexandrië dagtrip om onze reis af te sluiten!
We zijn aan het einde van onze 2 weken durende reis en sloten het af met een dagtrip naar Alexandrië. Jongen wat een geweldige 2 weken is het geweest! Alexandrië is zo'n interessante en mooie stad met de gemengde geschiedenis van de Grieken, Romeinen en oude Egyptenaren. Onze gids Eslam was fantastisch en deskundig en voorzag ons van veel informatie die we anders niet hadden geweten. Het bezoek aan de catacomben en het kasteel was mijn favoriet! Onze chauffeur Mohamed heeft ons ook fantastisch geholpen. Zou deze tour zeker aanraden!

Pleasant and Informative Tour. Humorous guide.
Eslam was an excellent guide, a veteran specialist for Alexandria - been doing this for 13 years. We could tell he was one of the best guides, as there were many other groups in tight quarters especially at the catacombs. Eslam’s explanations were clear, concise and detailed. Humorous too. He is very knowledgeable with chronology and facts, answered every question we had but was never long winded. We’re so glad we took this day-trip, and selected the all-inclusive option. It’s worth it. Must step on the echo pedestal at the amphitheater and sing a song, it’s amazing.

Alexandria in a whirlwind day
From the moment our polite driver picked us up at the hotel in Cairo until he dropped us back off at the end of the day, this Alexandria tour was well worth the money.
Our guide for the day, Eslam,Islam, was knowledgeable, funny, and caring about teaching us about his home city of Alexandria. More than just showing us the sights (which he did well), he really wanted us to fall in love with the city and culture as much as he loves it.
A great experience, and highly recommend booking with him in the future.

Unforgettable Alexandria tour with Neelah
We had an amazing one-day guided tour of Alexandria with Neelah, and it was an experience to remember! She was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the city’s history, making every site we visited come alive with fascinating stories and insights.
Our tour covered the Catacombs, where Neelah explained the rich symbolism and intricate carvings, making the underground tombs even more captivating. We also visited the fort, took pictures outside the famous Alexandria Library (though it was closed), and explored the Roman Theatre. One of the most surprising facts Neelah shared was that the so-called “theatre” was actually a luxurious Roman complex for the elite, and the amphitheater functioned as a lecture hall. These details added so much depth to our experience!
To top it all off, we ended the day with delicious local Mediterranean food, which was the perfect way to wrap up our adventure. Neelah’s expertise, friendly personality, and engaging storytelling made this tour truly special. If you’re visiting Alexandria, we highly recommend booking a tour with her—you won’t regret it!

Een tour speciaal ontworpen voor liefhebbers van geschiedenis en cultuur! - met Eslam
Geweldige geschiedenis tour met Eslam! Het bedrijf op zich was responsief en behulpzaam met elke vraag 24 / 7 , ze waren zeer flexibel en zorgde ervoor dat alles tot in detail was voorbereid.
We hebben verschillende rondleidingen geprobeerd, maar deze vonden we het leukst. We waren vrij om te verkennen en Eslam had altijd een antwoord op elke vraag. Het was erg leuk om een gids te hebben waarmee we gemakkelijk konden communiceren en die zoveel in detail wist over elke stop die we hadden. Een ding is het hebben van een charismatische gids, maar ook het hebben van een die is opgeleid binnen de geschiedenis en alle dingen die je wenst in een reis was het beste! Eerlijke prijzen en heerlijk eten om de dag mee af te sluiten. De chauffeur kwam ons ophalen bij ons hotel in Gizeh en reed ons om eten te halen tijdens onze 2 - 3 uur durende rit. Hij was ook erg aardig en attent. Al met al 10 / 10 dagen
We zijn vrij vroeg begonnen dus het is goed om een jasje mee te nemen voor de vroege ochtend

A tour specifically designed for those who love history and culture - with Eslam
Amazing history tour with Eslam!!! The company in itself was responsive and helpful with any question 24/7, they were very flexible and made sure everything was prepared in detail.
We’ve tried different guided tours but this one was the one we liked the most. We were free to explore and Eslam always had an answer for every question. It was very nice having a guide we could easily communicate with and that knew so much in detail about each stop we had. One thing is having a charismatic guide but also having one that is educated within history and all the things you wish wish for in a trip was the best! Fair prices and great food to end the day with. The driver picked us up at our hotel in Giza and drove us to get food during our 2-3 hour drive. He was also very kind and attentive. All in all 10/10 day 😄
We started quite early so it’s good to bring a jacket for the early morning🙏🏻

Great tour that covers Alexandria's most famous places such as its Great Library, the largest in the ancient world; Pompey's Pillar,
Alexandria Ancient Roman Theater, Qaitbay Citadel, and the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, one of the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages. Must go places if you’re visiting Egypt, Eslam will give you detailed explanations of these amazing historical places.
