Long drive from Cairo to Alexandria but break it up halfway with a coffee or juice - very fast drive on very good roads. Alexandria is beautiful and part of the greco Roman history of Egypt, and as relics ar ebrought up rom the sea will become an increasingly interesting place to visit

Our guide Waleed was fantastic and had a great knowledge of Alexandria and the history. We had Ahmet as driver and he was great navigating safely in the busy traffic. We had time to fully appreciate each location without being rushed. Thank you and very enjoyable.

Waleed was an exceptional guide. Helped bring the history to life with humor and expertise. He definitely kept us on our toes with humorous anecdotes about donkeys, big feet, and chickens! Absolutely incredible experience! He even introduced us to some local foods and made a special stop for us to try Turkish coffee. Our tour with him is definitely one of the high points of our trip! Phenomenal experience overall!

Our guide Karim arrived on time. Disappointing, although the booking was for 4 people and the VIP your, the vehicle was only a medium sized SUV so with 6 people including the driver, 3 people had to sot on the back seat and 1 person jad yo crawl into the space behind the seats- not very comfortable gor all and certainly not suitable. In terms of needing to aee as many of the sights of Alexandria in one day, this tour hits most of the high points in quite a well organised way that we arrived at before most of the crowds. Karim was quite knowledgeable although tended to speak very fast with a well rehearsed spiel .

Operator cheated us by charging for the entrance to the catacombs and the library. Those site entrance tickets were included on the website.

We joined this tour in order to see the most of Alexandria especially the new library. For years we have searched for boats going to Alexandria.It was an excellent tour.the guide was very knowledgable.Unfortunately we had too little time at the library. One small critisism: We were taken to our lunch only at 15h30 and then rushed at 16h00 to get back to the cruiseship.Surely we could have had lunch at 12h00-13h00? All in all it was great value for money.We were a bus full of people which also took longer to climb in- and out. my husband is 82 and I am 70.We thoroughly enjoyed the day.
