Private Day Tour To Alexandria from Cairo - The Private Day Tour to Alexandria from Cairo was an incredible journey full of history, culture, and stunning sea views. From the moment we left Cairo, everything was perfectly organized and very comfortable. Alexandria has a completely different vibe — calm, elegant, and rich with stories from the past. Visiting the impressive Bibliotheca Alexandrina was a highlight. The architecture is breathtaking, and the atmosphere inside is inspiring. We also enjoyed exploring the historic Citadel of Qaitbay, where the views of the Mediterranean Sea were absolutely stunning. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about Egyptian history, making every stop more meaningful and interesting. The private tour allowed us to move at our own pace and truly enjoy each location without feeling rushed. Overall, it was a perfect day trip filled with beautiful scenery, fascinating history, and great memories. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Egypt who wants to discover the charm of Alexandria in comfort and style.

Fantastic Day Trip to Alexandria! - An incredible experience and absolutely worth the trip! Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire day both engaging and comfortable. The drive from Cairo was smooth, and we had plenty of time at each stop without feeling rushed. Alexandria is a beautiful coastal city with so much history, and this tour covered all the highlights—the Catacombs, Pompey’s Pillar, the Citadel of Qaitbay, and the stunning modern Library of Alexandria. Each site had its own charm, and our guide’s stories really brought the ancient world to life. We also enjoyed a delicious seafood lunch by the Mediterranean, which was a perfect break in the day. Overall, this tour was well-organized, educational, and full of amazing photo opportunities. A must-do if you want to explore more of Egypt beyond Cairo! Highly recommended!

Horrible tour to Alexandria - Unfortunately, we had a very bad experience on our Alexandria tour. The car was very small and uncomfortable, especially for a 2.5-hour drive each way from Cairo. My friend is tall, and when we politely asked the driver to move his seat slightly forward to give us more legroom, he refused and said he was tall too and he was the driver, very rude. The ride was extremely uncomfortable. The guide was very bad. She didn’t speak English well, and we couldn’t understand half of what she was saying. When we asked basic historical questions (for example, about when the ancient Library of Alexandria was destroyed), she didn’t know the answers. Her phone was also ringing constantly, every couple of minutes, and she kept taking calls during the tour, which was very distracting. There wasn’t much information shared while walking between sites. Sometimes she would just point and say something very short like “this is crab,” without any explanation or context. Overall, the tour felt uninformative and unprofessional. We paid $300 for this tour and ended up feeling so uncomfortable that we decided to cut it short, skip lunch and just get back to our hotel. It was very disappointing. Do not recommend!
