Great highlights and background by Karim - This is a fast paced version of all the highlights of Alexandria. We had the bad luck of booking this on a Friday during Ramadan and the library was closed, but Karim made up for it. He was great at giving the background information at all the sites and was very professional.

Enjoyable full day tour - Everything went smooth. We received lots of information from the tour guide. Guide was helpful. The itinerary was good. Restaurant and was food was good. Guide was flexible.

Great experience - ran short of time - My wife and I took this trip in Alexandria. We had seen Egypt earlier from Cairo/Giza right to Abu Simbel so we decided to go to Alexandria the night earlier and start the day from there, as well as end it in Alexandria itself. The driver and guide for this visit were Hany and Shaimaa respectively. We had a great experience of the entire tour and covered all the sites mentioned in the package. Shaimaa also took us to a great place for lunch - we are vegetarians and had a very nice meal. There are some things to keep in mind though - the library is shut on Fridays as a result of which we could only see it on the outside as we took the trip on a Friday. (It is a different thing that we managed to cover the library including the antiquities museum and the manuscript museum by ourselves on Saturday which took us 150 minutes as we were keen to see things in detail). Also, if one is very fond of history, the day is going to have an extremely tight schedule. So it might make sense to - find out exactly what is not covered as part of the original full day agenda (for example, a visit to the manuscripts museum and antiquities museum), - which of the non-covered agenda does one want to see in the time available at one's cost (tickets) if needed on the same day, and - plan the day accordingly (if required, drop some less important sites in the agenda based on priority) Hany and Shaimaa were extremely good hosts. Shaimaa gave us great details about each place and answered all our queries. She even helped to quickly cover the last site/stop when we were behind time. Alexandria is a great place and the road to it from Cairo is very smooth - takes approx 3 hours. So better to arrive here the previous night and start early.

Good experience! - Waleed was our guide for this day tour. He was knowledgeable, patient and explained the sites to us in detail. We were travelling with 2 young kids and another couple, and he made sure to keep everyone happy.

Must do tour. Please ask for Waleed. - Our tour guide Waleed was fabulous. He tried his level best to get us to see everything. Fantastic guide. There was an issue on the highway which reaching Alexandria due to which we lost 1.5hrs. however our guide made sure that we didn't miss anything. The tour wouldn't have been possible without him. He is a great example of Egyptian hospitality.

Alexandria, a wonderful blend of Greek and Roman cultures - Karim is a very knowledgeable guide bringing the colourful stories of Alexandria to life. The catacombs, St Mark’s church, the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, and seeing every-day Egyptian life were highlights.

Informative and Comprehensive Tour - It was an informative and comprehensive tour of Alexandria. Most importantly, I felt safe because Alexandria is a city that you should not be exploring without a guide. You do not want to attempt to take any of the taxis.

Knowledgeable and funny guy! - Waleed was a knowledgeable guide and was humorous. He was kind and accommodating, and was always keeping a lookout for us. Appreciate his hospitality and friendliness.

Thanks - Our guide Walleed was very kind, helpfull and have lots of knowledge about history. Tour was a bit in hurry since lots of things to see just in one day. All transfers were very orginized

Rushed day tour. Food is good - Karim, our guide, seemed to be rushing. He speaks so fast with a high pitch that sometimes you could not understand him. It’s scheduled for a full day but we are done by about 2 pm. The lunch was good though.
