2.00I wouldn't really recommend this tour, but I have to give props to our guide. He was super knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience enjoyable with all his info about Alexandria. Honestly, he was the highlight of the tour, and I’d give him and the driver five stars. That said, the organization of the tour was pretty off. We didn’t get to visit all the spots listed, even some we were really looking forward to seeing. We did learn some history, but there wasn’t enough time to explore more everything. They need to improve their organization. Also, the food at the restaurant made my husband sick, and it wasn't very clean either. If you choose to book this tour, please ask your guides to adhere to the plan as listed and ensure you will be able to visit all sites. Be prepared for a long day of driving in an uncomfortable minivan.
Amazing Tour guide experience in Alexandria

5.00We had an incredible experience exploring Alexandria with our tour guide Mohamed! From the very beginning, he was warm, professional, and extremely knowledgeable about the city’s rich history and culture. He guided us through the ancient sites, the beautiful coastline, and hidden local spots that we would never have discovered on our own. His storytelling made places like the Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa, the Citadel of Qaitbay, and the Library of Alexandria come alive. He also went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable throughout the day offering great local food recommendations and helping us navigate the busy areas with ease. We truly appreciated his passion for sharing the history of Alexandria and his attention to detail. It turned our visit into an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend him to anyone visiting this stunning city!
Amazing experience, I recommend it to everyone

5.00You know what they say that the best experiences are the ones you don't plan? So this was exactly one of them. I saw the possibility of a day trip to the amazing places of Alexandria and bought it. It was one of the best experiences I could get. Great, clean car, great driver who knows way around and handles local traffic. The guide Mahmoud was absolutely great. Perfect English, knowledge better than a professor at the university. He was able to answer all my questions and he is also an incredibly amazing and helpful guy with a sense of humor. But what I appreciate the most was his patience and willingness to help. One of the best experiences, much better than I expected. The next time I'm here, I'll definitely be happy to repeat this experience.

5.00We did the tour about Alexandria with the guide Norhan and our driver was Essam. We were really happy to have them with us. Norhan is very intelligent, helpful and kind person. She showed us in one day the most interesting places and sites of this turbulent and magnificent city and told us much interesting about history, culture and moden development of Alexandria. Essam is a great driver, very careful and exact. Norhan also took care about my older mum. The tour and the team are absolutely recommendable.
Awesome & interesting tour

3.00Enjoyed sightseeing in Alexandria! Guide Mahmoud was knowledgeable and very courteous! However, the seats in the car was not comfortable and there was not enough leg space. It was also not clear whether the car was on sharing basis while the tour was mentioned as TOP VIP Exclusive Tour. I have been using Viator for long now and all such captioned trips were only for two persons.

5.00Unfortunately the start of this tour didn't go to great as we were stuck in a minibus for 2 hours due to an accident or something on the road, once we got to Alexandria the day was great, the tour guide (can't remember his name) was exceptionally knowledgeable and a really down to earth guy, was a very pleasant experience, Lunch was lovely with a beautiful view 😊
