Review for: Private Tour with Entry Ticket and Lunch

My tour guide Ayman (hope I remember correctly) was very good. Thanks to his wonderful tour, I learned a lot about Alexandria. He also took great care of me, always paying attention to my needs and making sure I understood the content of his tour. The driver, Mr. Mohammed, was also excellent. He arrived on time and had good driving skills. I am very satisfied with this trip. My tour guide, Ayman (I hope I didn't mishear his name), was excellent. I am very grateful for his wonderful tour, which gave me a deep understanding of Alexandria. He was also very attentive, constantly paying attention to my needs and ensuring that I understood the content of his guide. The driver, Mr. Mohammed, was also outstanding, arriving on time and displaying excellent driving skills. I am very satisfied with this trip.

Review for: Join-in sightseeing tour with lunch

The Alexandria tour was absolutely amazing! We were fortunate to have a highly knowledgeable and capable tour guide, Reem. She was thorough in her explanations and took the time to ensure that we understood everything, which was especially helpful since I tend to ask a lot of questions. The visit to the Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa was highly educational, and I was truly amazed by the rich history of the area. However, the real highlight of the day was the Qaitbay Citadel. Reem was more than happy to provide a detailed explanation of its history and significance, which greatly enhanced my understanding and appreciation of the site. Thank you, Reem, for a wonderful tour! I highly recommend booking this tour, and if you do, make sure to request Reem as your guide. She was, by far, one of the best tour guides I encountered during our holiday in Egypt.

Our day tour in Alexandria was the perfect mix of history, culture, and great food. The underground chambers of the Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa were fascinating, with their unique blend of Egyptian and Greco-Roman design. At Kom el Dikka, the Roman amphitheater and ruins were remarkably well preserved and gave a real sense of daily life in ancient times. We also visited the Serapeum of Alexandria and the stunning Bibliotheca Alexandrina, which beautifully honors the city’s intellectual legacy. The sea views from the Citadel of Qaitbay were breathtaking and a perfect way to end the sightseeing. The seafood lunch was fresh and absolutely delicious. Our guide, Manal, was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging, sharing detailed insights and making the history come alive. Highly recommended!

We had a great driver and guide, very professional and knowledgeable. however we were disappointed by the fact that we only had 5 minutes to stop at the Library to take pictures and not go inside, which made the tour feel very superficial.

Review for: Group Special Package without Entrance Ticket

I invested an entire day to go there, but there wasn't much to see compared to the amount of money. It would be a good idea to choose carefully. There are so many places to visit elsewhere in Egypt. The moving vehicle was okay.
