Things to do in Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa

The driver and tour guide we encountered on our day trip to Alexandria were both excellent. The driver was very patient and waited for us at the hotel in the morning. He also proactively pointed out rest stops and convenience stores along the way where we could rest and buy water. He was always smiling and had a great attitude. The tour guide, Mig, spoke very fluent English, had a wealth of professional knowledge, and provided very professional explanations. He was able to answer questions well. Overall, it was a great experience, and I highly recommend it!

We had a wonderful trip to Alexandria and we would like to show our gratitude to Yomna, our tour guide. She was really professional, helpful, friendly and caring. Additionally, Yomna spoke good English and explained everything clearly at all of the sites. She always asked us whether we would like to take photos and even helped us take great pictures and showed us great spots too. She was the most excellent tour guide we had in Egypt! Our driver was also professional and paid full attention in driving. He was on time, nice and helpful. Our experience in Alexandria was top-notch. All the destinations suggested by the tour were worth visiting. The restaurant we had lunch at served great sea food dishes. I would highly recommend this tour to visitors who look for a one-day trip to this city!

note that all ticket prices are not included and neither was the lunch. however the guide brought a lot of much needed guidance and context while visiting the monuments. we visited the fortress, the amphitheater, the catacombs, and the library. she was able to explain and provide more information about each location which was very much appreciated

Day 1/3: Pyramid of Giza, Memphis and Sakkara. We had a great day visiting the pyramid today. It is our first time in Egypt and our tour guide is very friendly and knowledgeable. She explained the story behind each monument and is very attentive to my elderly mother's need. She also speaks good English and easy to understand. I definitely recommend her.
